Smoothie Feast: Days 10 & 11 of 60

Yesterday afternoon I developed a really bad headache which gradually got worse and by the evening it was like a full-on migraine. I can only put this down to a hard workout in the gym and not consuming enough fluids and food.

In future, I will have to make sure that I fuel up with a small smoothie before going to the gym and make sure I have another smoothie within an hour after my workout.

I've decided I'm going to semi-break my Smoothie Feast and have a salad in the evenings, as I feel that I need some solid food in addition to my smoothies.

Today, before heading to the gym I had a smoothie of 2 bananas and hemp seed milk. This was perfect as the bananas gave me a slow release of natural sugar and the hemp seeds provide the protein.

When I came back from the gym, I made myself a green smoothie of kale, 1 mango, 1 apple and water. This filled me up and kept me going right round til dinner, where I made myself a large salad and I boiled a few small potatoes with mojo rojo - a spicy red pepper sauce from the Canary Islands.

With the smoothies that I had today, I had lots of energy, I got plenty done, including cleaning out my casita (shed), which I've been meaning to do for a couple of months now! 

I must give you an update on the stray cat. He didn't go away, he wanted to stay so badly, so I started to give him tid-bits as he was starting to look a bit scrawny. 
Then I ended up feeding him along with the other cats first thing in the morning and I had to call him something, so I've named him 'Olly'. 
Olly had a visit to the vets last Thursday to have his little balls reduced! He is now a happy and content cat, sleeping out on my covered terrace on one of the 3 couches to choose from!

Olly - I choose to sit on the blue couch this afternoon

So now I have a total of 7 cats...and that is enough.Please Universe, no more! I've done my bit for the cat world.

Only need to lose one more pound and that will  officially be 2 stone lost since the 1st of January, where I weighed in at a hefty 15 stone 1 lb.

I'm so pleased and proud of myself that I have shifted this weight and it's made such a difference to my well-being and I look forward to going shopping for new clothes!

Hasta pronto
