Gemzicle Sprinkles: What I Ate Wednesday

So my What I Ate Wednesdays have now returned from the sunny skies of Spain to the slightly grey skies of Northern England. But that's ok. (Really did I just say that that was ok??)

We're still kinda on our holidays in the Greenoid household. I don't go back to work and Mini Greenoids not back at school until Monday. It's been lovely getting back off my hols and having a week to get back in to the whole swing of normality.

I have been working slightly - catching up on paperwork and getting organised for the start of a new term but nothing major.

So, on to this weeks WIAW. I've been struggling since getting back off holiday to get back into what I would call a 'normal' eating pattern.

On holiday, breakfast isn't till around 11:30am, lunch could either be a big lunch at a restaurant around 2ish or a small snack of tortilla round the pool around 3:30pm and tea? heck knows what tea could be from night to night from nibbles at a friends house to a 3 course restaurant meal.

My body isn't quite used to eating early in the morning yet so I'm eating kinda erratically. I figure once I'm back at work properly though this will all just fit back in to place so I'm not too concerned.

I also haven't been for a big shop since getting back from holidays so the choice of recipes is rather limited.

Breakfast

It's pretty much a given now I'm back home that breakfast is some form of smoothie using my Blend Active. I've mentioned it before, but I really can't recommend the Blend Sctive enough, it's simply fantastic.

This mornings breakfast was 2 bananas and frozen cherries. Cherries are pretty much the only fruit that I'm not really that keen on but I did enjoy them in this smoothie. I'm going to look in to some different recipes for smoothies this week so I can vary my usual of banana and some form of berry!

Do you have any good smoothie recipes?

Lunch

Lunch was a non starter today. Like I said my eatings erratic at the moment. I didn't have my smoothie till around 12pm as I was lazing around in bed for a while then did a bit of work on the computer.

I'm a big believer in trying to listen to my body and my body didn't tell me I was hungry until much later on so I didn't eat any lunch. I suppose you could say my smoothie was my lunch and I skipped breakfast, as I did have it at lunch time.

Tea

As lunch didn't happen i was pretty hungry come tea time! And as I've already mentioned I haven't really been shopping yet so... what else could I do but order pizza!

Looking at the pictures now it looks all greasy, unhealthy and horrible but at the time is was yum. We decided to have a movie night. Mini Greenoid picked the film of Casino Royale and I ordered the pizzas. Mini Greenoid had, of course, a margarita and I ordered a spicy vegetarian. We also ordered some garlic bread to share but somehow I only got 1 piece.

I love pizza and movie nights! Pizza is my favourite unhealthy food. I eat it topped with loads of veg though so I tell myself it's half healthy. That's ok right? :)

Not the most healthy of days eats but there we go. I've started running since I got back off holiday so I'm thinking I deserve a little treat here and there - considering the fact I can hardly walk and every muscle in my legs and even sides are aching! But more on that another time.
