So much music!! (So little time). . . hehe. . . 🎼🎺🪘 In other news I almost doubled my PB at the gym today!!

I ran 1.89 km, which doesn't sound like a lot, but I had only been running a km previously, so it felt like some progress. And yes, the stories are true! A runner's high is the sweet blishhh, , , such a wonderful reward from all that sweat!

Something has definitely shifted, , , !!
And today I returned to the gym, which made me happy. :-)

Maybe with some olives, , , and baked potatoes. . What DO YOU THINK??

Slow cooker Mediterranean salmon is a fool-proof & flavorful recipe that produces perfectly cooked salmon. Salmon, tomatoes, bell pepper, and fresh herbs cook together in this healthy seafood dish. Instructions

Just polished off a cup of banana cake. It was inspired by amazing baking skills! We go NUTS for her pavlova and brownies (and more things besides!)

It is becoming a business now. 🙃 🌱 🥗
Yay!!

Are you still eating the classic cereal, fruit and yoghurt for breakfast?

The problem with that particular style of breakfast is that it is mostly a combination of different types of sugars. And it will lead to a large spike in your blood sugar.

I plan to talk about why blood sugar spikes are particularly bad for your health some other time, but if you are already aware of the dangers of repeated blood sugar spikes (and crashes), then you might want to switch to a savoury breakfast.
