Girl on Fire!

Why didn’t I try clean eating years ago? I feel so good – energetic, alert and my skin looks really clear. If you’re 50/50 about cutting out processed carbs DO IT NOW!

Todays’ workout was the FURNACE WORKOUT from Phase 1 of the fat burn revolution. Warm up then 30 seconds all out followed by 2 mins easy x 4 followed by cool down, doing whichever activity I chose. It looked like a perfect HIIT running session to me so I did it on the treadmill, but I made it a slightly longer workout by doing it 8 times rather than 4. It was a very effective workout, by the end of the 20 mins I had sweat pouring off me, had run 1.75m and burnt off 300 cals. Marvellous!

Tonights clean eating meal is Chicken and Veg Stirfry with cauliflower ‘rice’ (thanks to Kim for the inspiration). Very satisfying and this recipe makes 4 decent portions.

Head of cauliflower

Head of broccoli

2 cloves of garlic, crushed

1 inch ginger, grated

2 tsp harissa paste

10ml sesame oil

Method:

Grate the cauliflower and chop all veg and chicken into thin slices

In a wok lightly fry the cauliflower in half the oil and garlic for 5 minutes until it softens a bit then put to one side
