Personal best, multitasking and feasting

I started my day with a 3 in 1 task. Have a go at running 5km, walking the dog and giving the kids their long-awaited bike-ride. Pretty darn easy, really. I jogged with the dog down the guided busway up to Histon and back, telling the kids to bike behind me while telling me not to stop. Noah carried my backpack with my phone, tissues, plasters (mum-kit) and my water. Got home and did 10 full press-ups, followed by 10 one-legged press-ups, then mapped my route to find out how far I'd run......6.13km in 36min 30secs. I was jumping for joy!!!! My PERSONAL BEST in time and distance!!

Now the food diary..............
Green juice, followed by green tea with jasmine (mother in law gave me a Whittards box full 'cos father in law doesn't like it. WIN!! Was VERY hungry, so made a banana, oat, rice milk pancake drizzled with agave followed by a pear. And RELAX!!! (as far as you can with 4yr and 5yr old boys and a mad 'doodle!!.
Lunch was ham sandwiches for the kids (yes, my bad, I know) and a stirfry for me. Leftover brown rice, tofu, onion, chilli, yellow pepper and home made sweet chilli sauce, followed by an apple. Couple of hours later doing washing, breaking up fights, dog poo bagging and dishwasher duties and I'm hungry again. (my time of the month, so that might explain the ravenous appetite?) More green juice, pint of water, followed by grapes and mixed seeds. Dinner was stuffed tomatoes (quinoa, onions, chilli, ginger, tamari, dates) with roasted new potatoes sprinkled with my mock parmisan (whizzed up pine nuts, salt and nutritional yeast)....followed by a RAWR choc/goji berry bar. Will probably have a couple more pears and a handful of seeds later, followed by a lovely hot cup of chamomile tea before bed.

All in all, a lovely Saturday spent juggling house keeping, child entertaining, feasting and "me" minding. John's out taxi'ing and kids and I are sat watching Ice Age 2 with a bowl of salted popcorn.

Phew!!! What will tomorrow bring I wonder?
