My Sunday started off a little bit like this…
You have got to love Sunday mornings for lazy and long breakfasts like this. That almond croissant was delicious!
I also got in an early morning strength workout in at the gym to start my day. There was literally no-one there at one point so it felt like my own private gym…can’t be bad!
This week my workouts have been so much fun:
Monday: 40 minutes walking to and from my car, 20 minutes of HIITs on the cross trainer and treadmill, lower and upper body workout, abs, 10 minutes HIITS on the bike.
Tuesday: 40 minutes walking to and from my car
Wednesday: 40 minutes walking to and from my car
Thursday: 40 minutes walking to and from my car, 20 minutes of HIITs on the cross trainer and treadmill, upper body workout, abs, 10 minutes HIITS on the bike.
Friday: 40 minutes walking to and from my car
Saturday: 1 hour spinning class
Sunday: 5 minute warm up on the bike all over strength routine.I’m still making the most of those walks to and from my car during the working week. Getting to the gym can be hard wen you commute but I did manage to get in 2 evening workouts after work this week. Working out early in the morning is more my thing, but I have to say I quite enjoyed those evening workouts and I certainly slept well afterwards.
Coyo has been a staple in my diet this week. I just love the creamy rich texture and it tastes incredible. I’ve even hunted down a fantastic health shop close to me that sells it so I don’t have to wait for trips to Wholefoods to get my hands on it. =)
There has been plenty of bowls of chopped fruit topped with Coyo going on. This one contained a chopped banana, chopped peaches, Coyo, shelled hemp seeds and raw raisins.
For the first time in ages I had some cereal this week…
These were spelt flakes by Sharpham Park with a chopped apple and almond butter. I’d forgotten how much I loved cereal ad this really hit the spot!

Green smoothies are never too far from my lips. They make perfect portable breakfasts to drink in the car on the way to work. This one was pretty tasty and contained spinach, a banana, half an avocado, almond milk and water.
This has got to be one of my highlights of my weeks, my super cute stackable lunch box…sad but true! I just love it and have been using all week. The food inside the lunchbox was really good too. The salad was made using curly lettuce, cherry tomatoes, brown rice and peppered smoked mackerel. On top I had some chopped kiwis, mini strawberries and blueberries…heaven!
My slow cooker has been working it’s magic again and I made a lovely chilli using veal mince and red kidney beans. I topped it with grated cheese and had lots of steamed broccoli on the side for a fab mid-week meal.
You cannot beat runny egg yolks! I had this on Thursday night and the asparagus spears were great for dipping into the yolks. The baked sweet potato was delicious topped with some Clover Seedburst.

We managed to fit in a movie in the middle of the week and I got my raw chocolate fix from my stash that I picked up from Wholefoods the other week. I ate the entire bar because it was so good!
I hope you all enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
Do you prefer evening workouts or early morning workouts?
What is your favourite Sunday breakfast? I would have to say pancakes but I also loved that almond croissant with the fruit platter for something a bit different.
That almond croissant + fresh fruit looks wonderful.
I much prefer working out in the mornings, but in the week it is too hard to fit in before work, so I go out in the evenings instead, which I don’t mind. Walking to and from your car must be really nice- a good way to wind down after a day at work especially.
Oh definitely. I’m really making the msost of those walks. Working out in the evenings makes for a great nights sleep 🙂
Yummy looking croissant, always the best breakfast with papers! Walking is such a good workout, I’m glad you can fit it in to your working day. And your lunch box – amazing! I’d be excited to go to work if I knew I had that to look forward to!
Hahah! I take pride in making my lunch with my new lunch box it so cute!
I’m definitely a morning workout person, energy is much better at that time of day! I walk 40 mins a day with my commute to, great exercise!
Walking is such an enjoyable exercise isn’t it!
Croissants on a Sunday… Nothing better 🙂 Everything looks so incredibly delicious- I’m loving all the happy colors! To answer the questions, I don’t really have a work-out time preference: All that matters to me is that I get one in! And for Sunday breakfasts, I can’t deny that I do enjoy a good pain au chocolat mmmmmm.
That croissant was so tastym such a treat!
Sounds like a perfect Sunday morning. Weekend mornings are definitely my favourite times in the week. So peaceful and relaxing if you have nothing on.
I much pefer early morning runs but I love my evening run with the running club (though I always dread it beforehand as I feel tired from being at work) but afterwards it’s great. I like to have a chilled evening normally.
I’m the same with evening workouts. I hate the thought of them but when I’m actually doing it I love it!
I miss having special Sunday morning breakfasts! I remember my mom always making pancakes or crepes for us on the weekend when I was living at home, but now that I’m on my own, my Sunday breakfasts look pretty much like all my other breakfasts – either a bowl of cereal with yogurt or oatmeal. And I have to agree that sometimes nothing hits the spot like some cereal.
Cereal is an oldie but a goodie! It’s always good!
Love the cool lunch box 🙂
That breakfast plate looks heaven; I love fresh pineapple and berries and haven’t had a croissant for far too long! I still haven’t had Coyo though, really want to try it!
Favourite Sunday breakfast is pancakes and I prefer having some exercise in the mornings – cycling and doing the horses is perfect – but haven’t got the energy for something like spin, that has to be in the evening!
You should try and get your hands on some Coyo, I think that you would love it!
I love the lunch box – where did you get it?? Sounds like you’re making really good progress at fitting in your workouts and eating right amongst your new job and extra travel – good for you 🙂
I got it in TK Maxx, love that store for little gems like that.
