I must say I have found the least favourite thing to do, clean the fridge! I used to be a nurse, so Ive seen some nasty stuff but cleaning the fridge totally grossed me out and it wasn't even that bad! I guess I'm just not a domestic diva, even though I keep my house pretty clean and tidy, my mum's a hoarder, so I'm pretty diligent about keeping things in order, although I'm not obsessed about it. Have you seen that show on A&E "Hoarders"? I tell you, I have learnt so much about my mum and how serious a sickness hoarding can be and how it affected us as children growing up in that chaos. We have really tried as a family to get my mum to see that she needs help, but she refuses and the problem cannot be fixed until she herself has asked for help. It's a real tough situation between my mum and the rest of us, it's quite disheartening and upsets us because we feel so helpless. We all hope and pray for the day that she realizes she has a problem and when she does we will all be ready to step in and help her, hopefully one day soon.
I went to my kickboxing class that has been canceled the last couple of times and I didn't realize how much I missed it. I put 100% effort into that class, I can barely walk out of the club afterward, stumble to my car and putting the keys in the ignition is a labour intensive chore! I think it's the perfect class for overall fitness, you get cardio(a lot of cardio!) toning, from all the punching and kicking and it's so much fun, well I think so anyway!
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: organic low fat oatmeal muffin, water & cup of coffee.
Snack: handful of unsalted nuts and 1 orange, water.
Lunch: 1 slice ezekiel toast, poached egg, grilled tomato's, water & cup of coffee.
Snack: Clean protein bar (if your looking for a clean bar, just look for one that has no preservatives, additives and if it has sugar that its from a natural source) I like the "Luna bars" for women, they're tasty and fit into the clean eating plan, also I found some at "Popeye's store" their bars are called "Elevate me" they also fit into the plan. If you're not sure just ask and they should be able to help you, the best places are health food stores, vitamin stores and some supermarkets.
Dinner: mishmash of leftovers! Lentil & veggie stew, 1/2 a baked squash, spinach, feta & potato cake, water and cup tea.
Activity: 1 hour kickboxing class.
I'm so happy my scary fridge is clean and some real good happy hormones from my intense workout earlier are kicking in. So, its off to meditate and pretty soon after, off to la la land. Bye for now.

hey, thanks for the info on the protein bars. I've been reading your blog off and on and it's always interesting. Do you happen to know how many grams of protein are in one bar?
