New Years Eve 2014

For those mornings you can't be effed making two drinks!

Breakfast: Coffee & Banana Smoothie

You know those mornings where you can't be effed?  That was me this morning...okay, that's usually me every morning but particularly this morning.  I couldn't be bothered cooking so I made a smoothie and I was so lazy I didn't want to make a coffee as well. Life is seriously just too hard sometimes ;)  So, I decided to combine them! Yes!  It was actually quite yummy too! 

Recipe is here.  I used frozen Banana instead of adding ice, honey for sweetener and almond milk.

  

Lite n' Easy - Penne Pasta 

Lunch: Lite n' Easy - Penne Pesto Pasta and Two Small Plums

A while ago I did a huge bulk order of Lite n' Easy when they had one of the 20% off your order codes.  But then specialists recommended all of these different diets that Lite n' Easy just didn't fit in with.  Over the Christmas period I decided to finish off the meals I had left in the freezer so they wouldn't go to waste.  After I've finished all the meals in the freezer, I'll be going back to Paleo. 

This Penne Pesto Pasta isn't bad but it's just that I'm not a huge fan of Pesto at the best of times.  I wouldn't say it's one of the worst lunches from Lite n' Easy, just average.

Nice Plums ;)

I decided to round out my lunch a bit more with some fruit.  After recommendations from my Nutritionist, I'm very aware of how much fruit I eat and try not to have more than three serves per day.

Lite n' Easy - Chicken Enchilada

Dinner: Lite n' Easy - 117 Chicken Enchilada 

Chicken Enchilada is definitely one of my favourite Lite n' Easy meals, it's really delicious!  I really will miss the convenience of the Lite n' Easy meals when I return to Paleo.  I think Lite n' Easy is a great way to start off on weightloss, it certainly helped me shed the kilos!

Additional Items:  Red Wine! I used to pretty much avoid drinking all together because of all those nasty calories, but I've started drinking a few on special occasions.  I think it's because I'm more confident in regards to weightloss and I know that a few drinks isn't going to make me stack on the kilos.

NYE Beach Style

 This new years was a little different for me as I will usually be at a party, a friends place or staying in a hotel.  This was the first year I celebrated on the beach.  It was really relaxing to sit on the beach with some wine, watch the fireworks and just enjoy the night.

The beach at night <3

Growing up I lived really close to a beach and as I went to sleep at night, I could hear the waves gently crashing on the beach.  Whenever I go to the beach at night and hear the waves crashing, it reminds me of that and how much I miss it.  I guess that is why I love the beach at night so much more than during the day. 

I hope you enjoyed your new years eve, however you decided to celebrate.  

Let's make 2015 the best yet! xxoxx
