I like to think I take care of myself. I eat lots of fruit and vegetables and am pretty active (as active as my back will allow). But somehow my immune system still refuses to work like it should. I pick up viruses like an evening standard and am feeling "under the weather" too often for someone of my age and lifestyle. I really don't understand it. Maybe I should put it down to my size, perhaps it makes me more vulnerable... ridiculous suggestion really. I do look after myself so I just can't comprehend it.
Prior to this, I had been trying extra hard to change my lifestyle as I mentioned in a previous post. And of course my first port of call was Tesco. Because we get too excited about clubcard points and that smug feeling of 'No we brought our own bags - judgement upon everyone who didn't'. So let me introduce the most middle class shop I have ever done...
The most depressing part is perhaps how excited I got over the new covent garden soup flavours... and they were 3 for 2! I induled in 'Souper-natural': a pumpkin delight, a carrot and maple syrup winter warmer as well as a 'Jammin Jamaica' jerk flavoured treat. Only om nom is appropriate as a description.
You may have read the past post 'what I wrote' about making healthy breakfast smoothies. The last one was good, but this new one was EPIC.
I was genuinely excited about how good this looked. I could barely wait.
This one was more of a tropical concoction which contained strawberries, pineapple, kiwi, fresh mint, oats and honey. No spinach superfood in this one, but the oats kept me much fuller. Delicious and healthy.
Now that I am laid up in bed with yet another damn cold, my only hope is to ply myself with vitamin C packed juices and slurp chicken soup until I am ready to face the world again. I might also take advantage of the extra cuddles and concern it brings... I said might!
