What I Ate Wednesday.

I love cake... .and this tastes like cake. Brilliant. A warming gigantic bowl of carrot cakey cinnamony oatmeal...The only thing certain to get me out of bed of late, and hands down the best way to start a chilly day. 
I have been having this awesome oatmeal combo religiously for the past few days.  The playas in the Breakfast mix are : 1/2 cup gluten free buckwheat oats, one grated carrot, raisins chopped walnuts, cinnamon, all spice, applesauce, a dash of soya milk and a little sweetener.
 Lunches have been mostley open face sammiches... here is a beet, turkey mayo numbah, with GF pretzels and always with a side of spinach and glugs of balsamic vinegar.
 For afters I had a slice of my skinny spiced carrot cake bar with a cuppa English tea.
 On Sunday, I went shopping with Harry to London's Brent cross shopping centre to spend some money we dont have, as soon as we parked up in the shopping mall car park our tummies were rumbling so we headed to our favourite, Wagamama.
I wanted to try something different, (variety is the spice of life my friends)  I went for the chicken Donburi rice bowl, Made Gluten Free... and taste free, it arrived after a very long wait and was plain rice, plain chicken and a whole grated carrot, I was a little disappointed but still devoured it. Mr bake and beebz know what he likes and had his staple Chilli Raman... he like things hot hot hot. If you have been to wagas... what dishes would you recommend?
Outfit of the day...
 spent what seemed like hours at the mac counter trying to find a new lippy... but nothing was purchased.
 After coming away empty handed and a Little sadden, I suddenly spotted FRO YO, YO! sprinted over and after a little taste testing plumped for pomegranate with fresh raspburries and yogurt covered dried fruit toppings. When ever I see a frozen yogurt vendor i go excitedly bizurk, harry will testify this.
On a trip to St. Albans market to get the weekly fresh fruit and veg, to supply my huge demands me and my mum got this basil mozzarella from one of those little the stinky cheese stalls.
 Its not stinky at all...this tastes like a a caprese salad rolled into one cheese wheel...
 so supper was a mini basil mozza toast pizza... pesto, toms and onion topped with what looks like snot... but its not. om nom nom.
To round off dinner I had another slice of my cake. so much carrot up in this post, man.
In the evening I got in a Gym session... started of with some 20 minute elliptical, 10 minute treadmill burst and cool down for 10 minz on the stationary bike. followed by a weighty strength workout. FEELING DA BURN.  totally pooped me out!
Crawled home to a big banana protien powder green monster shake...
 AAAAAHHHnd this other big monster... this bad boy was hiding in my bed, under my pillow... Im not affraid of spiders in the least but no kidding he's the size of my fricken face, tried to catch him, but he got away and im not sure which direction... he'll be back. How many spiders is it they say you eat in your sleep? oh dear ain't gonna sleep well tonight.
What was the best thing you ate lately? I hope mine isn't this spider... 
As always, thanks jenn for hosting another W.I.A.W

  9. That carrot porridge looks DIVINE! Definitely trying that one for brekkie sometime soon. I'm also equally excited when I spot a fro-yo place when I'm out and about. It's like, whatever time of day it is or whatever meal I've just eaten, there is ALWAYS tummy-space for fro-yo!
