So last week, I fell off the fitness band wagon! Now I could pretend it didn't happen, but that would be dishonest of me. The truth is, I was busy and had plenty keeping me occupied! This is when the binging creeps in. Something I like to call "The Flab Tyre - the cycle of obesity"
Step 1: It begins with a off day, unable to make it to the gym as planned, you rearrange.
Step 2: You complete the commitments that caused you to miss the gym, but somehow you are now mentally drained so it is another write off, going to bed early and trying to recuperate.
Step 3: Feeling like you have already let yourself down, you buy a harmless bar of chocolate that spirals into more. Because you have eaten so much, you feel too lethargic to work out.
Step 4: BEWARE I call this day "Gym PMS" (P****d Miffed and Snappy) You feel like you have let yourself down. You have not had the endorphins in your system for a few days now and people should not cross you at this time. It is like actual PMS 10 fold!
Step 5: Comfort eat because you were so nasty to people yesterday and you are going to the gym tomorrow.
Step 6: Two choices, you either start the cycle again or this is the last chance you have to get back on it before you forget how good the gym makes you feel, how healthy you feel by eating better and how happy you feel overall.
This is one of my favourite recipes to get me back in check:

Healthy Pizza
This makes a great children's activity, it is quick, easy and so tasty!!!
Inspired by the Hairy Bikers Pizza, this is a yummy way to feel like you are having a treat, but it is still better than getting a pizza for take away on a Friday night!
Original Recipe can be found here:
My spin on it:
- Base - wholemeal wrap
- Sauce - tomato puree (though it tastes amazing with BBQ sauce)
- Toppings - Chick peas or chicken with jalapenos, peppers, cheese! (though you can put whatever you like on, be cautious because you only have a thin base).
Method:
- Place the wrap on an oven tray
- Spread the desired sauce on the base
- Add your desired toppings
- Sprinkle some cheese
- Cook in the oven for 15-20 mins on 180, until the crust goes crispy
Let me know your favourite toppings!
