Day 3 and I'm still smiling!!!!

Here's my gorgeous lunch for today

Today I toasted a wholemeal pita pocket and spread some glorious chilli and lime hummus on it, followed by shaved ham and some sliced radishes.

I had my raw vege medley with favorite dipping sauce and wholewheat crackers and tasty cheese.

For a snack I had wasabi peas, chilli peas, spicy broad beans and roasted almonds.

Fabulous!!!

Here's my delish lunch for today:

1. Pottle of Fresh and Fruity Apricot yoghurt
2. Wholemeal pita pocket with hummus and ham
3. Wasabi peas, spicy broad beans, almonds and pistachio nuts
4. Radish, broccoli, capsicum and cherry tomatoes with my "oh-so-delish" coriander, ginger and lime dipping sauce.

My work mate was totally impressed and tried out the raw vege and dipper... and she actually enjoyed it!. I think I have a convert!!

A lunch a day keeps the chubby at bay

I'm in the throes if trying a little experiment. I've decided to make my lunch every day for the next 21 working days.

Today was my first day and herr's my delicious lunch.

A ham, hummus and jalapeƱo relish tortilla
A pottle of Fresh n Fruity apricot yoghurt
Cherry tomatoes, baby capsicum and radish with coriander, lime and ginger dipping sauce
A pottle of chick peas with ground pepper and rice bran oil

It was great! I had as much fun making it as I did eating it.

I've been inspired by another blogger whose name I will insert here when I figure out how to do that on my phone.

Lets see how this little experiment of mine goes.

Weekly summary Saturday 26.02.12 - Friday 3.03.11

Here is my first weekly summary for 2012

Saturday 26.02.12
Today I woke up super early for a Saturday. You see I had booked myself in for a much overdue pedicure. My poor tootsies hadn't had any TLC for far too long, they actually had the same polish in them from the last pedi which was in Australia on the 12th of Jan! Argh! Terrible stuff.

So I moseyed on down to the town centre. I was very early so I went across the road to a fabulous cafe and grabbed myself a chai latte.

The barista had accidentally used cows milk so made me another one with soya milk and I got a free chai for my beauty therapist. SCORE!

My pedicure was fantastic, made even better by the Chai and massaging chair.  Love my little haven!

My big mission for the day was The Relay for Life. So once I got my feet in tiptop walking condition I got on the road and got myself to city college. The next 24 hours was a bit of a blur. A lot of it was spent walking around and around a track in an effort to raise money and awareness for cancer.




Sunday 26th February 2012
The Relay finished up at 12pm, and after a very quick and efficient pack down we were out of there and on our way home.  My daughter had accompanied me at the Relay so we were both as tired as each other.  Sleeping is not really something you get a lot of at the Relay for Life.    We both jumped into the shower as soon as we got home and then straight into bed.  I slept off and on for the rest of the day/night and it was true bliss!

Monday 27th February 2012
I woke up so sick!  Both of my eyes were sore, like I was going to get styes in them, and my head was throbbing like I've never known it.  So I call in sick to work and spent the day trying to heal my body, mind and spirit.

Tuesday 28th February 2012
In Whanganui this is Pakaitore Day  and is a very special day in for the iwi of Whanganui.  I got my still-sick butt out of bed really early and got on with the day.

Wednesday 29th February 2012
Today is my birthday!  Yes, that's right, I'm a Leap Year baby!   I had a completely spoilt day at work and home and thoroughly enjoyed it.




Thursday 1 March 2012
Today I just got on with my work, it's been really busy for months  and months and doesn't seem to show any sign of letting up.  This day was one of the first that I didn't have to meet with someone, so I used my time very wisely and got a lot of things done and out of the way.


Friday 2 March 2012
Today was very much the same as yesterday.  I haven't fully recovered from whatever illness plagued me on Monday, but at least I'm on the road to recovery.  This weekend I'm just going to chill out and rest.  Maybe do a spot of cleaning!  Lols!
