I managed to make it to the Friday morning prayer meeting (8am) ...I'm always so glad when I go. We were even up early enough to walk. :)
Speaking of prayer meetings, the commitment that the Husband Unit made with me to meet for prayer and breakfast every single morning has continued since Day 1. This has been so important to me. Being unemployed, it gives me a good reason to get up early. It also encourages me to prepare a good breakfast, and start the day's eating on the right foot. It's also a chance to get a solid thirty minutes together each day, in a lifestyle where we often don't see much of each other. I wish we had done this years ago.
Breakfast: 40g of granola with rhubarb yoghurt. (The rhubarb yoghurt was too sweet...I'll stick to natural yoghurt in future.)
Snack: 2 small slices of apricot bread.
Lunch: Bagel with grilled chicken breast, roasted pickled peppers, salad, Parmesan shavings and Caesar dressing.
Dinner: Spicy prawn and vegetable stir-fry, I think. Something with fresh prawns anyway.
Post-dinner snacks: I'm going to a party. I'm bringing a fresh fruit platter to share so I'll eat some of that, and possibly a slice of birthday cake, but hopefully not much more than that.
...and that's all I have to say about that. Hope you all are preparing for a fun and restful weekend. I plan to dance, cycle and eat good food. :)
I hope you enjoy the party, can I ask you what is apricot bread and how do you make it? My husband and I are headed to the casino to eat and gamble for a little while. I hope your weekend is a good one.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie. I can't help you out with the apricot bread - it's an organic product that I buy locally that doesn't have the ingredients listed. It's a dairy-free, sugar-free, yeast-free bread made with white wheat flour, chopped dried apricots, raisins and spices. It's very good.
