I did my run this morning (after a little sleep in, 9-ish) and did 4.7kms. I'll gradually increase it to 6kms so I am comfortable whilst running and not hating it like I am at the moment. Well, that's quite harsh. Let's just say, I'm not a fan of running at moment and hope this mindset does change...soon.
After my run, we decided an impromptu trip was the way to spend our Sunday. So where did we go? Down to the beach. Here is a snap shot of our day!!!
Breakfast
Chocolate protein smoothie (straight after my run)
Morning snack
Eggs, spinach & tomatoes on wholegrain bread

| Tomatoes added after picture was taken |
This was the quickest breakfast! Eggs cooked in the microwave for 1 minute. This is my secret weapon....
We then headed off to the beach with all the "sugar free" hot chocolate, strawberry and banana drinks for the kids whilst Adrian and I had lattes as seen on picture 1 in the above collage.
Lunch
Tuna wraps with Baba ganoush dip, crackers and cherry tomatoes
We decided to eat our lunch outside on the decking (the sunshine was divine today and we were even greeted by our lovely beach house locals Kookaburra and King Parrot. They were fighting over the cracker as pictured in the last picture in the above collage). Lunch only cost $20 for the 6 of us. When we do go out for lunch, the kids meals are approx. $10 each, then Adrian and I order ours and $100 just vanishes before our eyes and that's just for lunch! Ridiculous huh? I can shop for the entire week and feed our family for $100!!! Anyways more on that on another post....
Afternoon snack
Banana and walnuts
Protein bar
Dinner
Grilled mushrooms with feta and herbs
Grilled cheese & spinach wholegrain toasties
We were very late home, so this was a simple and quick meal to make before showers and bed...
Okay, I'm off to do my Fit Yummy Mummy - Transformation Kit workout and I look forward to meeting you all again tomorrow.

Hey Dani! My girlfriend and I learned something long time ago...money flies!! No matter if we eat at home or out we always find a way of spending much more money that what we had budgeted.
ReplyDeleteHave a good one!
EMILIO!
That's why meal planners are so imperative Emilio. I'll soon share ours and how sometimes $80 can feed a family of 6 for the week (includes pantry & foods in the fridge) all you do is top up with ingredients. XxD
DeleteI look forward to learning those tips for meal planners Dani! Amy :)
ReplyDeleteYes, they do come in handy for those weeks when you are on a strict budget! XxD
