DAY-31 A few breakfast recipes

1/3 of the way in now and  im  loving it ! I find im enjoying the workouts and the days following them more if i can drag myself out of bed and train 1st thing in the morning . Much easier to do on the weekends but will do what i can to wake up at 5am every morning next week to try and nail the routine . Will report back next weekend.

One thing i have really been struggling with is stomaching eggs in the morning. At the moment i only have to eat one which makes it easier but to keep it interesting i have come up with a few great little recipes to make breakfasts much more enjoyable !

1st option 
2 pieces of dark rye or whole grain toast
1 avo mashed up and spread onto toast
1 boiled or poached egg
3/4 birds eye chili finely chopped and sprinkled over the eggs
5 or 6 cherry tomatoes 
freshly ground pepper

2nd option
2 pieces of dark rye or whole grain toast
1 boiled or poached egg
Tomato , onion , garlic and chilli sauce (below)
1 small chopped onion , 2 cloves of  chopped garlic sauteed in a teaspoon of olive oil
Add 2 punnetts of cherry tomatoes ( chop a few of them ) 
Cook for 4-5 mins 
Add 2 or 3 chopped birds eye chillies 
Cook for another minute and serve as your veg portion over toast and eggs

I will put a few more ideas for other meals later in the week . 

I was concerned that i hadnt dropped any weight this time last week but those concerns are over .  4.5 kgs in a matter of days and i am truly feeling lean and healthy.  Super happy about that , the other thing is that my moods are back to normal after a brief insight in the dark world of PMS !!!!!! Lets hope i stay this way.

  3. Remember Mark weight is the least helpful number to look at when you're in training!
