Was feeling pretty unmotivated when I finished work but after an hour on the sofa in my blanket with a cup of tea and a few biscuits I managed to kick myself into gear to work out. I wasn't planning on exercising today bc I'm pretty achey atm, but I thought a little endorphin boost would probably be good since Matthew won't be getting home til 10pm - I finished at 4 so I probably would have felt shitty if I'd just loafed on the sofa all that time. So I came up with this little circuit which was really good! I would have liked to do it with more intensity for shorter intervals but tbh my quads were wrecked anyway and I was going hard for most sets. I enjoyed it and felt better for it anyway and that's what I was aiming for 😊 Made some peanut butter protein balls but I was just guessing amounts so they're not the tastiest things I've ever eaten but they'll be handy for post-workout snacks 👍🏻 And might scratch the itch for protein bars bc I keep getting loads of ads on instagram for vegan protein bars and powders and I do want to increase my protein intake bc it's definitely lacking but A) I don't want to get in the habit of buying protein bars bc it's a waste of money really, I can always smush together oats, dates, nuts and seeds to make my own! and B) Matthew would definitely make fun of me becoming a protein powder junkie 😂 I've prepped all the veggies for dinner and am now back to snuggling on the sofa, watching Masterchef, waiting for Matthew to get home so we can have dinner, it's 8.30 and I'm hungry already 😣
