It’s been a tough week, mega busy at work as going away soon, kids off school, I still got it done though I am laying on the sofa blurry eyed at this moment.
I made my own protein balls, I am uber proud of these and they taste lovely .
Ingredients
Dates (200g)
Ground almonds (100g)
Almond butter (a dollop)
Coconut oil (a dollop)
Chia seeds (couple of spoonfuls)
Dessicated coconut (couple of spoonfuls)
Cacao powder (few spoonfuls)
Vanilla protein powder (30g)
Water as needed
Zapped it all up (remember to take the seeds out of the dates) rolled into balls, a few I rolled in melted cacao buttons and coconut think I may have overdone the buttons though. They last for ages in the fridge and can be frozen.
This weeks activity consisted of
Monday 7am PT session with Brett Bowen, 7pm offroad trail race with my fast runner friends Nikki and Catherine, almost 6 miles.
Tuesday 6.15am Hiit session
Thursday an hour weight session at home
Friday The Ipswich Twilight 10k, I smashed a PB by over 2 minutes and also was first in my age category 45-49! I won my first trophy, so pleased and forever grateful to my pacer Nikki.
Sunday a very tough 13.1 miles, mainly off road and hilly but with a twist, the middle 5 miles was a road race put on by my running club. Followed by 30 minute ab session.
So yes I’m shattered, bring on another week .
