FOOD

Savoury Mince

Serves 1

100g Cooked Beef Mince (Lean)

1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil

2 teaspoon Minced Garlic

1/2 Brown Onion

1 Zucchini

1 Carrots
3 Celery stalks
1/3 can Ardmona Tomatoes (No Added Salt or Sugar)
2 teaspoon Curry Powder

1 teaspoon Mixed Herbs (Dried)

1 tablespoon Tomato Paste
500ml Salt Reduced Chicken Stock
1/2 cup Cooked Pasta (I used Risoni)

Cook Mince, Onion and Garlic until done and then add all other ingredients (except pasta) and bring to the boil and then let simmer until cooked.  To serve toss through pasta and enjoy.

This recipe made a 'HUGE' serving (One and a Half of the bowls pictured) and the Calories are on the high side but '266' of them are the Mince and Pasta. 

It was delicious but you need to be hungry to get through it OR have it as 2 half serves and then work out the extra amounts some other way eg. 3 thin rice cakes (carbs) and 1/4 cup cottage cheese (protein).

This is Half a Bowl - 1/3 of a serve

EXERCISE:

Today I did Option 2 of the Lower Body Work out (45 mins) and an Express Boxing Class (45 mins).  I was partnered with this guy (Phil) that was fit as so I was really worried that I would slow him down but he was really encouraging and I managed to keep up pretty well apart from piking on 1 lap around the court because of my stupid asthma.  I'm definitely going to be doing the class again!

OVERALL:

It was a huge effort for me to just get out of bed this morning (sore throat, runny nose, fever, sore knee) let alone being able to complete 2 workouts and all the other manic stuff I do in my day so for that I am feeling really accomplished.  It really is amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it.

Think, Believe, Achieve!!
