Morning lovelies (or afternoon!). I am so happy to be getting back into some semi-regular blogging. I feel like I lost my way a bit and combine that with some stressful workplace and a sprinkle of wedding planning and you get no blogging :(
Anyhoooo.... I am back to share my WIAW with you!
As always, a huge thanks to Jenn for hosting the fun that is... WIAW!
So I haven't been anything but a voyeur of the WIAW - fun... food and fitness posts. So I thought I would share my daily foods and give you a little overview on how I incorporate exercise into my daily routine.
My current fitness routine is kinda boring and low impact. Only a few months ago I was doing weight training and at least 30 mins of medium intensity cardio every single day and absolutely LOVING it. However after a very painful injury my physio has banned me from strength training and limited me to only walking/swimming for a while.
Now, I incorporate at least 40 minutes of walking into my day. Where I work, parking cost is ridiculous and I always try to risk it (hence I regularly get crazy expensive parking fines). So now, for a bit of fun, I park at a shopping complex about 20 minutes walk away from my work. Two benefits - I easily fit my walking into my day and I don't have to pay any parking!!! About 2 or 3 times a week I will also do the Jillian 30 day shred or a yoga dvd, just to mix it up. So far... so good! No injuries to speak of and while I may not be burning as many calories/seeing as obvious results, I need to just take it slow and slowly rebuild my core strength and recondition my body for more intense exercise.
Enough of that though... onto food!
Breakfast is my absolute favourite meal of the day. 1 egg/2 egg whites scrambled topped with salsa and on the side sauteed mushroom and asparagus. Perfect combo! Can't forget my morning coffee! |
I always try to add a protein shake into my day, it helps ward off hunger. At the moment I am using a blend of Hydro-Iso Chocolate powder (yuck.. don't buy it!) and BSN lean dessert in choc fudge. |
Anyway... hope you enjoyed this post. I can't wait to read all the new WIAW posts that I find! I should have the third and final day of my recent bridesmaid weekend online tomorrow I think :)
Before I sign off... I have to share this pic with you! It looks just like my meowy cat and the puppy reminds me of my parents dog! Cracks me up every time I see it!
The food looks lovely! I never add asparagus to my breakfast eggs... what a perfect addition!! Lovely post! xo, Megs

congrats! - amy
thanks Amy! I always love reading your blog
DeleteSuch a good idea to park away from work! As long as weather permits. I don't work anymore, but when I did- I never tried anything like that for fear of coming to work sweaty/smelly. But we gotta get exercise somehow!
ReplyDeletethanks for reading... for me it is Winter so it's freezing when i walk to work! no chance of any sweating... I might have a problem when it gets closer to summer though!
DeleteYour breakfast looks awesome! I usually wake up craving a sweet meal, but I think I could go savory for this!
ReplyDeleteI love savory in the morning! plus I always have more energy if I load up with eggs in the morning :) Thanks for your comment Jess
DeleteYummy!!! I am looking for a protein shake too. I started doing some exercise so I need something that could help me recover my strength for the rest of the day! Could you recommend me any ? XOXO
