Last day of “freedom”

Training: Body Pump

Today is my last day of “freedom” before I head back to work tomorrow. I must say, although it has  been less than 2 weeks, I feel refreshed and ready to start the new work year. Having some time “off” was exactly what I needed, particularly as my holidays were filled with family, friends, fun and food! What more could a gal want ??

Rather than sleep in, I decided to hit the gym bright and early for a Body Pump class. While the past few months have certainly been filled with cardio, one thing that has been missing from my workouts is weights. So what better way to get back into resistance training than with a one hour body pump class.

I kept my weights fairly light, but it was still one killer of a class! Particularly the lunge track. Ahhh lunges….do they ever get easier?! I think not.

Full of endorphins, I spent the remainder of the day updating our 2011 calendar,

and my diary,

shopping for new makeup (*love*),

and purchasing …..

a new phone!

Yes, at long last, BBB is starting to join the modern era!  I returned home with not only some wonderful Natio mineral makeup, but also a brand new I-Phone!

And, to celebrate, I decided to sign up (finally) for a twitter account! Yes, that’s right….if you want to keep up to date with everything BBB, feel free to click the link on the side of the page -----> Oh and let me know if you have a twitter account so I can become a follower too! I really do see how this technology stuff can become quite addictive ;)

Dinner

Training, makeup and technology aside, tonight’s dinner was also quite the star. I wanted something that was protein rich, healthy and easy to throw together.

And I believe this Nicoise salad was the perfect solution.

Mixed salad leaves, cucumber, beans, tomatoes and olives.

Combined with tuna and hard boiled eggs.

With a drizzle of vinaigrette…

(lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and dijon mustard).

And dinner is served!

  

And who said salads have to be boring?

This dish was packed to the brim with flavour!!!

The perfect last meal on my last day of freedom!

What about you? Are you on twitter? Any tips for a new player??

Happy Baking :)
