Bonjour!
Early Rising Challenge: Day 2!
I feel like a new woman and it has only just begun! Last night I was in bed by 10:30pm. I can’t remember the last time I was in bed that early!!!! Truly ground-breaking for me. I think I fell asleep around 11:30pm, so this is definitely progress.
I was up and at ‘em at 6:30am again this morning. It wasn’t as hard to get up this morning which was nice.
I made a big pot of Japanese Sencha and then stumbled over to the treadmill for an amazing interval workout. Intervals are my favourite cardio workout!
The walking hill workout:
- 5 min warm-up at 4.0mph, incline 10%
- 2 mins. at 4.3mph, incline 10%
- 3 mins at 4.0 mph, incline 15%
- 5 mins at 4.2 mph, incline 15%
- REPEAT 2, 3,& 4 three times
- 5 min Cool down (speed 3.5-2.5, incline 10-0%)
- Total: a very sweaty 50 min workout!
Showered, came downstairs, and made a wonderful fresh juice!
The ingredients today were quite crazy!
Not For The Faint Of Heart Juice
- 1/2 Lime
- Small piece ginger
- 1/2 beet
- 3 stalks organic celery
- 3 organic carrots
Made a wonderful sorbet again! Cherry beet and lime sorbet, perhaps? ;)
After stirring:
HUBBA HUBBA is all I could say about this juice. It was delicious in its’ own strange beet-y way! The beet was the first thing I tasted followed by the celery, lime, and ginger. Carrots got lost. If you prefer sweet juices this is not for you- you might want to add an apple or berries?
I loved how healthy this tasted. For me, the weirder it tastes the more I like it. :D
The wheels are a spinning!
Breakfast was another delicious Banana Bread Baked Breakfast Cake!
Now I’ve got an ultrasound to go to followed by a loooooooong 10+ hour day of baking.
A secret ingredient for the new Valentine’s Day Glo bar just arrived too! :D So excited.
I also just realized that I missed the airing of my radio interview this morning! Oops.
Blogging continues to be CRAZY fast now that hyperlinking works. Hallelujah!!!
GIT ER DONE!
I really need to give this baked breakfast cake recipe a shot! Looks & sounds very good!
I need to make that breakfast – it looks so good!! I wish I had a treadmill at home … that would make working out in the morning so much easier. To get ready and go to the gym is just SO unappealing.
Guys- there are tons of reasons people get ultrasounds that have nothing to do with a baby. I had one when I was having kidney problems, and people get them for other reasons too. It doesn’t necessarily mean anything related to being pregnant!
I believe she also had an ultrasound when she had her injury, so it is probably a follow up thing.
Angela,
What kind of juicer do you use? We don’t have one, but want to purchase one soon. I’d love to know what you would recommend.

Hi Angela,
I have been reading your blog for quite a while now and have to say I love it. Already tried a lot of your recipes and they all where great!!! YUM!!!!
I just wanted to ask which juicer you use. Trying to find one, but there are o many from really cheap to oh soooo expensive. Could you maybe recommend one?
Thank you so much for sharing all this with us :-)
Kind regards
Hi Yina,
I’m afraid I don’t have a brand of juicer to recommend at the moment – my previous one bit the dust! I would suggest reading some reviews on Amazon for brand ideas. I haven’t had a juicer in the house for a few years now (sniff sniff haha)
