Smoked salmon and trout omelette πŸ’š

I went shopping last night with a friend and am now fully stocked up for a healthy & clean week.

I got lots of fresh salad, fruit and veges πŸ’š meat, eggs and almond milk. 

For dinner last night we made a massive 8 egg omelette which we split and served with salad.



How we made our omelette:

•Heated coconut oil in a large frying pan
•Cooked a whole white onion, diced
•Added 8 eggs blended with pepper
•Poured in half a bag of fresh peas
•Cooked the omelette on a low heat
•Topped with torn fresh spinach 
•Added smoked salmon & trout 
•Served with cos lettuce, cucumber & pepper



Nom nom!

So good! So filling! So nutritious! :)


What's your favourite omelette?

Giving paleo a go go!

Happy October all :)

As I mentioned in a previous post- I majorly lost the plot and was eating gross food and not exercising.

I realised during this time that I had changed my diet type this year, to one a bit more restricted, yet I wasn't in my best shape and didn't lose as much (fat) weight as intended.

I love that old saying- 'if it ain't broken- then don't fix it'. So, with this in mind, I am returning to the type of diet I had when I was in my best shape.

Please note- when I say diet, I am referring to my dietary intake and not a diet that I am following, I am not on a diet, I am finding my best suited dietary intake for my life.

• I am returning to eating meat if I want it
• Cutting back on grains hugely after reading into the negatives of them
• Low carb intake 
• Avoiding processed food always
• Only good carbs eg sweet potato & brown rice - definitely NO pasta & white bread
• A more relaxed approach

After speaking to one of my closest friends Emma, I realised that how my diet used to be isn't far off paleo. Emma and her partner have been following paleo for a while and both find it to work for them. 
Unintentionally, my diet used to be paleo (I had never heard of paleo at that point) so I am looking forward to going back to it and hopefully getting in good shape.

There are lots of diet approaches, but only a few will suit a person. Lets see if paleo suits me.


So what is paleo?


I won't be able to eat that much meat- and I don't want to. But I will be following the back to original food groups and 'eating the way nature intended'!


I will let you all know how it goes!
Let me know if you've tried it? Love it? Hate it?

October <3

Hello there October!

I am welcoming October with new goals, new challenges and a new approach.

I am letting go of the worries and pains of September, and remaining positive & excited for the good things to come.

I am quitting smoking- Stoptober is in full force.

I am clean eating, positive thinking and all round healthy living this month.

I am detoxing out my binge (caused by worry and stress) and as soon as my 2 week rest period is over- I will be back to exercising and getting my fitness levels up to where they should be!


Challenge yourself this month.
Do something new! Try a new food, a new diet approach, a new gym class, go for a run- anything. Mix things up a bit- have some fun!

Let me know how it goes.


We can do this 😘

Subway salad

Now I'm not going to make a habit of it, because I am going to start prepping my lunches again, but check out my lunch!

I walked into a few shops after turning my nose up at the staff canteen & couldn't find anything clean and nutritious anywhere! What my work needs is a massive salad bar nearby. But there isn't one. Except at subway. So that's where I went, and instead of a sub I had a salad bowl. 

It was actually soooo yummy & filled me up with fresh crunchy goodness.

I ordered a turkey breast bowl, no dressing, with extra pepper :)


It's got me in the mood for salad lunches all week! The freshness felt good after surviving on carbs for the last few working days (not good- I know)!

Then at 3.15 I had an organic raw bite fruit and nut bar- cashew flavour. Nom!



All washed down with 1.5 litres of water so far today.

Hope you're having a good clean day too, SoFit xxxxxx






Return of the blogger

Ladies & gents- I am back!

I have been eating junk food & lots of carbs. I have put on 5lbs. I am out of shape.
I am admitting it and I am going to work on it! I will not give up! 

I always turn to food as a comfort, and due to some worries I have had I have been eating like a trooper! NOT ANY MORE!! Lets get back to it!

I can't work out for 2 weeks- doctors orders! But that is not going to stop me from eating clean and sorting my life out!

Bring on the nutrients! Bring on the goodness! Bring on the health!



No one wants to look like a big round snowman before its even started snowing!


Have a good week all!
