This month I am working on home life balance i.e. balancing exercise, healthy eating alongside spending time with friends/husband/family, walking the dog etc. You get the idea.

So far it seems to be going well I am struggling to wake up exactly at 5am but it is slowly getting earlier that I feel awake. I am also doing more the previous evening to make the mornings run as smoothly as possible. My birthday is next month so I am looking forward to a cheat day with the hubby which is a nice goal to look forward to.

I was supposed to be going for a run this day but I woke up and my old ankle injury was flaring up. I didn't want to push myself through a run in case I really hurt myself. My ankle had swollen slightly so I put my foot up to rest it, this was probably through pushing myself too far in my last workout session.

My ankle was still feeling sore today and I ended up sleeping most of the afternoon as I was so bored. Thinking back I could have tried some weights in sitting/laying position. I tend to find I have more energy when I exercise and feel more tired when I don't.

bib - i have a thin slice of apple on mine too (cut across the apple rather than an apple "chunk"). I really love cashew nut butter. I actually think i prefer nut butters to peanut butter now.

ETA - whilst on the subject of rice cakes - have you tried any of these?. Aldi currently have them in stock for 69p a pack i think.

Yes that does sound good!
So far I have just tried the Meridian peanut and cashew varieties and cashew is definitely my favourite. I am trying to get almond but I haven't seen that in a while.
