Since I started blogging again, I've been talking all things fitness, but it's not just the exercise I've been focusing on, I'm really trying to re-educate myself in food and nutrition and learn what my body needs to help support the exercise.
I want to build muscle, and get lean (ish) but I also want to be full, stop calorie counting (something I currently obsess over) and enjoy coming up with great meals that give me all the nutritional elements I need.
I don't understand macros, and to be honest, I don't want to get into a routine of weighing/measuring every piece of food that passes my lips, but I am trying to up my protein intake and cut down on my carbs.
There's no surprise that I've jumped on The Body Coach bandwagon (I bloody love a cookbook fad) and to be fair, I have no criticisms. I've made probably around 12 of the meals so far, which in a 2/3 week period I think is good going. Usually when I buy a new cookbook, it spends 90% of it's time looking pretty on the shelf.
So here's a few things I've eaten recently, as you can see my beloved Bircher Muesli makes an appearance, I'm actually eating this 3 or 4 times a week, but it's not so pretty to photograph, there's LOTS of chicken, and spinach seems to be propping up the majority of meals too. But it's fun to try new recipes, they all taste amazing and so far, they're succeeding in keeping me full...winner winner (literally) chicken dinner.
And I'm sitting here now, after completing a Body Pump class on my lunch break, a Zumba class after work and a whole load of tasty meals, so you could say I'm fairly getting on-board with this 'new me'.
