Week 2 - Living healthy

The second week has passed and we are sticking to our oh so good healthy eating plan. I started the week feeling well rested after a relaxing weekend with plenty of good quality sleep. The massage on Saturday worked wonders for my aching muscles after all the running and I was ready to start over again.

Our weekly plan was made on Sunday so off I popped to the local supermarket to stock up on the veggies we'd be having this week, plus a few extras including steak, dried herbs, dried beans, tinned tomatoes and sweetcorn.
