Today didn’t start off so simple. I tried to go swimming, twice. The first attempt I forgot a crucial item and the second attempt was so filled with children swimming in the adult lanes, jumping on your head. Now I love kids, but I don’t understand why parents allow them into the adult lanes and basically I had to abandon any plans of swimming. Sadly.
Came home & made some breakfast: sausage, beans, homemade bread, an apple. It was yummy!
Followed by lunch several hours later: A roast – I made roast beef, roasted red onions, roasted sweet potato, roast potatoes, roasted parsnips, roasted carrots, peas & cabbage oh and a yummy Yorkshire pudding. It was lovely to have a traditional British Sunday roast!
Evening tea was definitely light, strawberries, a hot chocolate & a laughing cow cheese.
Exercise: a 1 hour walk - the 2 attempts at swimming don’t count ;0)
Get Stuff Done: I cleaned & organized my whole room!
Please see yesterday’s post to see everyone who is participating!
How did everyone do???
Tomorrow I will be swimming before work & hiking in the evening!
Well done FT! Your food always looks SO delicious!
Keep on keeping on.

I did well today! Even got some photos up, although my Tom Yum soup looks a bit dodgy. Not sure if my readers are loving seeing everything I eat, but it’s good fun anyhow! Thanks for the inspiration!

Would the crucial bit of kit be your cossie?? hehe!
Your roast looks yummmeee!
Good Luck!
I read an Oprah article recently which said it was a good idea to take photos of your food before you ate it! So, you are on the right track

Hi All.
I have to ask, what is Yorkshire pudding?
Day 2. Same breakfast, weet-bix with soy milk & yogurt (I always eat the same breakfast). Lunch was, again, egg and lettuce sandwich, as I cooked an extra egg yesterday, plus some grapes. Dinner was a vegie/brown rice/butter beans dish topped with some grated cheese. (With enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow.) And I just had the last of the watermelon. Snacks were an apple, and an apple muffin from a batch I made yesterday.
I would love to go swimming, but our pools are shut for winter. There are a few indoor ones, but they are miles away. I went for a 15 minute walk at lunch time today, and a 40 minute walk when I got home from work.
FT – THanks for letting me know where the mac cheese recipe is.
Everyone is doing so well! Does anyone else find that the weekends are when you fall off the healthy wagon?
Hi Kylee
I just emailed you! Yorkshire Puddings are a very traditional British staple, we have them with roast dinners. You can read more about them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorkshire_pudding
Yes, I feel like I fall off the wagon at weekends, or at least am more tempted to!!!
You are doing really well!
Your roast dinner looks scrummy!

I have to admit that I fell off the wagon mid-weekend, FT! I’m about to post about it. But I’m back at it and knowing I’m participating in this challenge is helping me get motivated again.
I LOVE looking at the photos of your food. It looks so good and there’s such a variety. Yum!
Though I don’t have time or access to post everyday, I will look forward to viewing others’ meals and plans each day. What a wonderful idea!
Your food looks so good! Do you have a particular bread recipe? I have been working on the art of homemade bread, it is some work!!
I’m reading a Joyce Meyer book and she said something that has helped – you should be enjoying the adventure when you’re on your way to the if then when bit… lol okay did that make sense? you know what I mean?
Yorkshire puddings…oh, I miss them! I LOOOOOOVE Yorkshire pud!! We used to have the English roast (lamb) on Sundays with all the fixings…
Oh boy…I think I know what I’m going to have to try making in my crockpot. Roast. Veggies. Gravy.
