Starting My Day | Healthifying My Life
I tried so hard to post regularly but I started dance classes again on Monday and my body felt some major delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) the last couple of days. All I wanted to do when I got home from work was sleep and that's what I did. My body feels back to normal today so I'm quickly smashing out a post for you! Now that I'm back at work and waking up at 5 am means I don't have time to create a huge meal but the weekends are another story.
My work day breakfast is pretty boring. When I'm doing my makeup in the morning, I make myself some black tea with milk. I either go for Lipton Yellow Label for a quick one or T2 Good Morning Tea if I have a little more time. Because I wake up so early and start work at 8am, I find that if I eat before I leave, I am hungry by 9am. So I have a couple of crackers with my tea to get my digestion going and I eat when I get to school.
My typical meal at school is quick and easy. I have 130g of baked beans (tomato flavour) heated up with a sheet of rice mountain bread and sometimes I'll add an egg of some form. I also have another cup of tea and I'll be good until morning tea. The meal comes in at under 300 calories.
On the weekend, I had some almond meal laying around (post macarons) and found a recipe to make almond pancakes. They were delicious and so filling! Four pancakes were a little ambitious, two did the trick!
And for morning tea, I have a small apple cut up with a couple of spoons of natural yoghurt and a splash of honey. Sometimes I have an orange as well but I'm usually rushed for time to cut it up. That will tie me over until lunchtime.
So I don't have variety in my morning eats but at least I know it'll keep me going until the next meal and I won't be tempted to snack on sweet treats. I've gotten a bit bored of my fruit smoothies at the moment but I'm sure they'll make a comeback. I can't wait to show you some of my lunch options!

ReplyDeleteHaha! I can't say I eat like this all day every day though!
ReplyDeleteI do love my carbs... thanks for the tip! I will be in search for some different protein.
