Horsey Humpday, Here It Comes…

…except Horsey Humpday will actually be coming tomorrow. Why? You’ll have to wait and see! But I do have a specific reason

So anyway, hello my precious people!! Something incredible happened today -

I’M FREEEEEEE!!!!!

YES! I walked out of my last exam today (at least until next year), and by gosh was it a good feeling! It means that I can now participate in one of the following:

• A Gossip Girl marathon with my sister <3
• Sleeping past 8am
• Cooking proper real recipes
• BAKING!!!
• Going for long runs and walks with Poppy
• Seeing my friends
• Going to the cinema
• Getting my hair cut
• Going out for the day
• Going FOOD SHOPPING!!!!
• Wasting my time reading trashy magazines
• Watching crap TV
• R E L A X I N G!!!

Oh. My. Days. THE EXCITEMENT!

What else exciting has happened today….

I started with…*drumroll* – an apple and 2 tsp wheatgerm, before a very pleasant 5mile run – my splits were around the 8.30 mark which was quite OK, and all in all, it took me 43minutes and 33 seconds Oh, and in case you were wondering (which you probably weren’t) – after 7.5hours of audio New Moon whilst running, it has FINALLY got interesting. Ish. Jacob just said to Bella that he loved her….and then I stopped the iPod what will she say!?

When I got back in, I had an Epic Green Monster – for those of you unfamiliar with this most amazing of combinations, it consists of:

• a heck of a lot of spinach
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup yogurt
• 1 very large frozen banana
• a 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum
• 1 tbsp cocoa-flaxseed
• 1 cup of mixed cereal

Topped with dates, grated cacao, aunt-made jam and Lizzi’s Granola:

See? It’s epic isn’t it? :p (Note how I did try and incorporate a little Horsey Humpday into today )

After breakfast, I drove to uni to do my LAST EXAM [of my 2nd year] – it was quite hard, but nothing I couldn’t manage

Just before the exam though, I had the most delICIOUS lunch! Part 1 was a big roasted veg salad: finely chopped and roasted fennel, beetroot, parsnip, aubergine and courgette, with seasoning, balsamic vinegar, a cinnamon spice blend and a drizzle of date syrup:

Oh my days, that was SOOO GOOD!! I really have turned into a taken to beetroot; so purple and….beetroot-y.

Part DEUX was a luverly sarnweech – 1 big piece of the nice bread from yesterdee, spread with mashed avocado:

And topped with a pizza-style tofu fillet and spinach:

Again with the ohmydaysdelicious – so soft and flavourful and…super! I took tips from this lady in how to make a sandwich work – ie toasting the bread lightly – and it worked a treat. Thankyou Jessica!

When I got home, young/old/middle aged Poppy said she wanted to play – so we went for a just-over-2mile run (3.5k actually). Bless, we ran the first 4/5ths of the mile, then she said she was tired so we walked – hence a 9.30split – but on the way back she perked up again, so we ran all the way home Overall it was 21 minutes of sunny fun

When we got back, I took pictures – the sun was out, my mum was out, Poppy was out, I was out – so why not!?

I love my animals

Snack wise, I totally wasn’t hungry, despite the fact that since lunch, I’d done an exam, driven an hour home, hung with my mum, gone for a run, and then hung with my mum some more! But I figured I should eat, so I had the same as yesterday, with some boobies blueberries:

Very good.

For dinner, I decided I wanted a favourite meal to celebrate my newfound freedom – enter Banana, Peanut Butter and Maple Tempeh!!

• approx 10g peanut butter
• a tsp of maple syrup
• a small chunk of banana (and inch and a half or so long)

Mash the banana, spread the peanut butter on the tempeh, put the banana on top, drizzle the maple over and if you want –as I do – add some cinnamon! Bake your tempeh for 20mins or so, and Bob’s your uncle!

I served mine with sweet potato fries and my favourite veggies:

Hurrah! Maple syrup, peanut butter, banana. Win, win, win!

As per usual, I don’t know what to do for dessert. Last night was this:

But who knows for tonight….muffin maybe?

SO. Hello to all my new readers!!! I like to know the people who read my blog (because I love and appreciate you all very much!) so I thought I would ask y’all some questions! A get-to-know-you game

1. My name is —- and I’m addicted to —- (My name is Freya, and I’m addicted to kabocha squash. And parsnips. And spinach. And animals. And E.R…..)
2. Tell me one odd or peculiar thing about yourself. (I have an unreasonably large crush on Arnold Schwarzenegger and I have double jointed hips!)
3. Paris Hilton – Love her or hate her? (I used to love her, when I was young and impressionable – now, I think she is a complete DORK and I strongly dislike her! I want to tell her to GROW UP!!!!)
4. Do you have any pets? If so, what are they? (My mum, sister and I have 5 – 2 horses [Chika and Tig], 1 dog [Poppy], and 3 cats [Obama, Kovac and Carter – see below!]

5. Hmmm and a 5th question….favourite TV show? (Gossip Girl. ER. Grey’s Anatomy. Friends. Will & Grace. And a heck of a lot more which I shan’t list, for fear of sounding like a lazy bum :p)

PHEW! I just realised this has been quite the long post, so I’ll leave it there

Have a good evening!! I’m going to go and relax with my mum, an animal or 2, and the new issue of Heat BLISS!
