Day One

Happy Easter everyone!

So today was day one of both my raw vegan diet change and my SkinnyMe teatox! So far so good, too! I'm especially impressed with my efforts to avoid chocolate at this time of the year :P

RunKeeper is a fantastic app,
recommend it to everyone!

I'm just going to do an outline of how my day went and what I ate.

Bondi Beach Looking
 Lovely This Morning

Woke up at about 9:15am, quite late but I was up late last night dueling wizard on Pottermore (Harry Potter nerd over here!). When I got up I went and made myself my first cup on the loose leaf SkinnyMe tea mix! I put the leaves in a tea infuser, although you can just leave the loose and drink the tea, which I might do tomorrow. The taste was pleasant, it's like a very kind of grassy green tea I guess, not sure how else I can describe it. After I finished my tea I went for an 8km slow jog down to Bondi Beach. As you can see in the screen shot from my running app, I did it in 1 hour and 9 minutes which for me is extremely slow, but that's ok because I actually haven't been for a run in a week or more which is not so good. But on the bright side this is the furthest I've ever run before! So I'm pretty happy about that. As you can see my average pace was 8:11 minutes per kilometre, and 4:58 minutes per kilometre was my fastest pace during the hour. For not having done any exercise in the last week I'm pretty happy and this progress. Since starting uni I've unfortunately slacked off exercising because I'm still getting used to this new schedule. The key is organisation so I just gotta sort out everything and I'll be back on track very shortly.

When I got home I prepared myself breakfast. I soaked some bircher muesli the previous night in organic, natural almond milk and in the morning I blended up some frozen raspberries and coconut milk yoghurt together and added it to the muesli, with fresh strawberries and blueberries on top. To accompany this I made a banana-blueberry smoothie which was yum! Here's a pic:

Yummy! My bircher combination needs a little tweaking but overall it was good and really filling too!

For lunch I had a salad made up of spinach, kale, cherry tomatoes and avocado, dressed with olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Also really filling!

Annnnd for dinner all I had was a few slices of watermelon, one granny smith apple and the water from one young coconut. It sounds like not much however I felt that what I ate from the rest of the day was still fuelling me and I really wasn't that hungry but it also filled me up surprisingly well! I just haven't felt starving at any point in the day at all which is really good because I guess that means my body isn't craving anything that it might not be getting enough of :)

I've just finished drinking the Colon Cleanse teabag from SkinnyMe tea and I don't know what all the fuss is about it not tasting nice - it's definitely tolerable and it didn't strike me as having a particularly strong taste at all or anything, I thought it was quite pleasant actually but maybe that's because I'm mad about any and all tea all the time haha! I soaked it for just over a minute to start off.. I'm a little nervous about tomorrow morning but I'm sure it'll be fine, I'm getting up an hour or so earlier than I would normally though just to make sure.

Anyway that's all for today, hope you all had a wonderful easter!
