Day 23

I've decided to get the rice cooker out of the cupboard and learn how to cook quinoa perfectly - I had it in South America and it was fluffy & delicious, but when I tried at home it was a complete disaster. Might as well make use of the rice cooker in the house and then I can use quinoa as a base for some healthy lunches/dinners - might help me cut down on bread a little bit (my next area of focus once I've broken the nut & sugary tea habit).

Brekky - small bowl of plain oats. Jazzed them up with cinnamon and blueberries 


Lunch - big bowl of cornflakes with soy milk and a bread roll. I was going to have quinoa and green veg but my boss text at 11am asking me to be on standby for the 12.30pm cruise...so after a quick gym sesh I raced home, showered and scarfed down something quick and easy. Only for him to not even have the decency to text me letting me know that actually, he didn't need me. I was sitting in my uniform for an hour waiting to hear, and wasting my day. Prick
Snacks - cherry tomatoes 
Dinner - half an enchilada left over from last night & a bread roll (I steamed veggies but didn't quite make enough for two quinoa boat lunches and tonight). Could have had salad but what the hell. Sometimes you've just gotta live a little. Plus I ran loads today so I feel like I can justify it
Treats - a glass of wine (!) and a few squares of dark chocolate

So yeh clearly bread needs to be tackled at some point. I shouldn't buy it in the first place, but it's nice to have it in the cupboard for easy boat lunches/last minute meals if needs be. Anyway will get to that in a week or two, slow and steady...

Activity - cycle to gym and back twice, overall 15k on the treadmill. Managed a 10k in 1hr2mins. Not too shabby although could probably pull that in a bit next time :)
