I wake knowing I need to go for a power walk or do a few
salutes to the sun and stretches, but before commencing my regime of activity it’s
a drink a glass or two of water. Without
a doubt whilst in the midst of my morning activity, I will start pondering my
morning meal. Will it be a green juice, porridge, organic weet-bix with unhomogenised
full cream milk, sourdough bread with peanut butter, scrambled eggs and parsley
on toast or will I skip it and simply go to my desk with a cup of tea and
handful of almonds, time is the essence.

There’s not too much routine to my consumption of foods as
my daily routine is varied and I like to keep my meals varied. But there are habits that I do have in place
that are a staple:
- my sigg water bottle is always filled with water and with
me if I have to head out of the office
- a glass of water is always on my desk, sometimes have fun creating a jug of water filled with herbs or fruits
- a delicious pink lady apple or two also accompanies me
(especially in the car when I to see my nephew, he likes an apple)
- a quick meal out to break the desk monotony is a bakery
pie + salad or toasty
- days are maxed to three cups of tea at the desk or a
couple at the desk and a long black with hot milk on the side at café
- veggies in any quantity, format or combination are
consumed at some point in the day
- rarely eat red meat and if its chicken its free range and fish is Australian

| shopping that involves freshness + using recycled bags |
- pack some nuts, sultanas or fresh fruit for snacks
- purchase a quality water bottle, stop the random purchasing of plastic takeaway bottles, once you have your own you’ll
use it
- keep meals fresh as possible whether cooking at home or
out – especially if eating out or having take-away you do have options!
- choose foods that are not deep fried, covered in sugar or laden with processed sauces
- herbal tea chilled or a few frozen berries in water
instead of any surgery processed drink
- spend a week or so at a spa wellness retreat to experience
the wholesome spa cuisine can kick start some good habits |
