Lucy needs to be fully aware of her nutrition and less concerned about exercise, whereas for me it is the other way around i.e. I need to be fully aware of the exercise I’m doing and less concerned about nutrition. So the right thing for me to do is to join Lucy regarding nutrition. What does this mean? In the two weeks that we have been here there has been no chocolate, alcohol, energy drinks, biscuits or ice cream. The food selection is more salad based with chicken being the protein (and ham as a treat alternative). Pasta has been the easy option while we were setting up and working out menu preferences and now wraps are my preferred option. I am now trialing a rye variety, although these are rectangular in shape and this concerns Lucy quite a bit.
For me this change in diet is a kind of detox programme, and to maximise this I’ve reduced by half the amount of coffee I also consume each day. For those who know me really well the absence of chocolate and the reduction in coffee is huge for me. The only vice left that is frowned upon is Diet Coke and I know how fond Lucy is of this therefore it will stay.
The end of the day reward treat is Greek yoghurt with banana. Yes Lauren I know it’s been your ‘go to’ for a long time and I have been slow to the party but now I’m on board. I have to say that the Australian grown bananas are far superior to anything we get in New Zealand supermarkets. They are really tasty and sweet and will be the second thing I miss when I leave here in six weeks.
