What I eat in a day

I wanted to share my 'meal plan' to help others who may be gluten/wheat/dairy free like me or for those who may be interested in my everyday intake for fitness and health reasons.

I say 'meal plan' in this way because I'm not one to follow any set guidelines, If I want to eat some free from chocolate I will! Plus I have a fast metabolism. My working day starts at 8 and finishes at 6:30/7 then it's off to the gym! 

I listen to my body every single day considering I can suffer from stomach aches due to my Colitis, I make a conscious effort to watch what I eat whilst not depriving myself of treats every now and then. 

I hope this gives you an idea of what my everyday meals are like and  how often I eat plus my meal sizes especially on days I am at the gym.  

Enjoy!

6:45 Breakfast: 

Scrambled Egg plus salt and pepper. 

No added milk, just 2/3 eggs.

This is my basic before work brekkie that is quick and easy for me, I'll be full for atleast two hours after breakfast. I start work at 8 and at 10 I will have a snack e.g. Bananas, Plums, Pomegranate.

Saturday Morning: 

Free From Tescos rolls with FF Butter, brown sauce and 2 eggs. 

I would usually have a bacon sandwich too lol 

12:30 Lunch: 

Peanut chicken with noodles.

 Marinated chicken in soy sauce and lime to tenderise the chicken, then I made a sauce with ginger, garlic, lime zest, honey, curry powder and peanut butter (played it by ear when measuring).  

Put the chicken in the marinade with coconut milk and poached it. Then heated it through on a low heat then added the noodles, spinach, green beans. Warm through till ready to eat. 

This dish is delicious!! Found the recipe online but can't seem to find the link, this is again all free from! I love a hot lunch so I would usually freeze my meals then defrost when at work. 

 

3:00 Snacks- I would usually snack on dry mango, a free from chocolate snack or my snack a jacks salt and vinegar flavour.

5:30 before Gym meal:

Salmon.

I would usually cook some Salmon at work with turmeric and salt, this works great for me so I'm not majorly hungry during my gym sesh. I always drive straight to the gym from work so I won't be eating till later on that night. 

 8:00/8:30 Dinner:

Lamb Meatballs with Rice.

Fry the onions and carrots with the leeks til soft, add the meatballs (Tescoes) and fry them over then add tin of tomatoes with garlic, mixed herbs and lastly spinach.

Plain rice.

I love Meatballs and Rice, they're certainly filling and the mixed veg taste beautiful with it.

What I got for Christmas

I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends. Mine was spent with my massive family eating the finest foods cooked by my wonderful Aunts plus some Mulled Wine and festive fun! 

Heres most of my Christmas gifts, I was absolutely spoilt this year; I must of been a very good Girl ;)

 1. This was my early Christmas Eve gift from my Partner. A book on Fashion throughout the years and a 'Vloggers' handbook for Fashion.  I know I'm not a Vlogger but this can still apply to us Bloggers!

2.  My Mum and Dad bought me these from Primark for my bedroom, considering how much I love colour itself and Unicorns haha These will take pride of place in my bedroom!

3. This is my Ab Wheel which I'm sure I'm going to regret asking for   haha. Tiger has to be one of the best stores for random purchases like this. 

4. This amazing Christmas Candle which I mentioned in my last post with my similar Mermaid Candle which is from Missguided and they're amazing! They burn slowly and each one has a unique smell plus a splash of glitter scattered in the wax. These would make wonderful gifts for any occasion.

 5. What would Christmas be without a pair of cosy PJs, I love my Dinosaur prints and these ones are from ASOS.

 6. A Flask and a small bottle of Brandy... somebody knows me too well! Knowing me it'll be filled with Water but still a fun gift for any occasion.  

7. This sexy faux Leather Jacket from Missguided has to be one of my favourites from the Galore collection. I styled this with my Crushed Velvet boots and my Gold chunky belt both from PLT.

8. My Partner surprised me with these Kendall Jeans from Pretty Little Thing. I love the fit of this pair plus the Sequins make them acceptable for a New Years occasion or maybe even drinks in town... 

 9. A beautiful Bracelet from a shop I love called Lola and Grace. I love chunky Gold Jewellery as we all know so I fell in love with this once I saw it.

10. A real Gold name necklace from my Mum and Dad. Something I can keep and treasure forever :) 

11. The complete series of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air! I love DVD box sets, mostly those of comedies, this will be the only thing on my tele after the New Year party is over. 

12. This cute Mermaid clutch bag is from my Secret Santa. 

13. Plus this cute ASOS Jumper from my Mum and Dad.

14. My Sister bought me this Duster coat from Missguided.

 15. This Leopard print coat is from my Partner, It's the prefect Christmas warm up! I love the patterned finish and I feel very 50s/60s in this fashion piece hence the Pearls ;)

16. My beautiful Snake skin boots from River Island plus a Missguided crop jumper to finish off the look.

17. My two favourite perfumes- RiRi and the Lady Millions by Paco Rabanne. 

18. I had to leave this one to last as these have to be the most beautiful boots of all time. SLAYY!! 

The incredible Kenzo boots thanks to Kenzo and H&M. 

My Partner bought these for me and aren't they just gorgeous! 

The pattern the colour the heels, I am just in love. Most of you know how quickly everything from this collection sold out but I managed to get 2 pairs, one being a 6 which I usually am but the boots were too big so I managed to grab the 5 instead.  

Again I was spoilt this Christmas, my family know me too well. 

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you a happy and healthy New Year.

Peace x
