Nothing worth having ever came easy, there’s no truer word spoken. Every day I find that life challenges me, in different way shape and forms. But what is significant are the choices that I make.
1. How do I let things effect me?
2. What do I do about it?
For some unknown reason last night and this morning I’ve turned into Little Miss Cranky Pants. Poor Daniel, he’s worn the brunt of it. I’m surprised he hasn’t given me a big kick in the you know what for my shocking behaviour. Well unfortunately that rolled over into the gym this morning. I was quite the drama queen, more so than usual. LOL!! About half way through my squats, I stopped, rested my head against the bar, shut my eyes and gave myself a good talking too. Honestly if you’d been there you’d think I had split personality syndrome or something. I just pretty much told myself off like I would anyone else in that exact situation. So I took a few deep long breaths, in with the good, out with the bad and got on with the job. It still wasn’t the greatest session I’d had but I didn’t give into my bad behaviour and stuck with it. After all, it was my choice to get up and go to the gym so I have no-one to blame but myself. So no matter how much of a bad day I think I’m having, I just have to STOP IT AND GET ON WITH THE TASK AT HAND. It’s never going to be the right time, right place, right motivation, right inspiration so why waste valuable time for something that’s never going to happen. Life is what it is and that’s challenging. Now that I’ve embraced this concept for the umpteenth time it makes it easier.
So here’s a picture of me this morning on the leg press. See I’m ending with a positive because the glass is half full after all.

have consequences, so luckily I made all the right ones for me. Deciding to give up drinking kahlua and to eat clean and train on the xmas break has certainly paid off in dividends. Not only do I feel satisfied and content, I’ve fueled my tank ready for gym in the morning. Now that’s NEVER HAPPENED to me before and what a HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT that is for me. I new my choices would be very challenging, especially during the move and the festive season. I also new I would give it all I’ve got but to actually follow it through is a whole other story folks.
I ACTUALLY DID IT……AND IT WASN’T EASY…..BUT I DID IT…..AND IT FEELS GREAT! )
The ingredients from the recipe are dark chocolate, silken tofu, no-fat milk and a vanilla paste then garnished it with frozen raspberries as you can see in the above picture. I’ve given it a four stars out of five stars. The only reason I marked it down was because of the absense of sweet in it. I’m a sweet tooth so therefore like a little sweetness from time to time. So next time I’m going to either try adding splenda or using milk chocolate. I’ve also thought of layering it by placing a layer of mousse, then a layer of frozen raspberries and so on and so forth. You get the idea.
We’ve all had a prawn cocktail so nothing new there. But what was different was the eat-clean sauce. Instead of our traditional rich thousand island dressing this recipe was a welcome addition. I give it a three star out of five star. I did enjoy it don’t get me wrong but it’s going to be one of those work in progress recipes. With a little bit of time and patience we’ll come up with just the perfect eat-clean sauce to have with my fresh seafood. )
