Awful dark and rainy weather today, it really does get a girl down, Karen Carpenter was right about that. I skipped the gym this morning because I had quite a bit of work to do, so went into the office early instead. So, I diligently put my gym bag in the car, so I could have a workout, or a practice swim, tonight. (Swimming class isn't on tonight, because of school holidays.)
As the day wore on, and the weather grew darker and more miserable, I found my desire to work out waning somewhat! At hometime, my decision was made - it was very much a 'skip the gym and go home for a hot bowl of soup instead' kinda day!!
The way I make soup, now I am trying to be healthy, is easy: I boil up a few handfuls of frozen veg (whatever is in the freezer that takes my fancy) in chicken or veg stock with some random spices from the cupboard, for about 20 minutes, then blitz with a hand blender until smooth. Taste, add salt/pepper if needed, then eat. It's not very adventurous, but obviously I never end up with the same soup twice. Frozen veg make life sooooo much easier when you cook for one.
I didn't make great food choices at work today - I was having a busy day, and when my head is distracted, I automatically make poor decisions when it comes to food. Disappointing, but tomorrow is another day. x
