Confessions of an ex-chocoholic. (Taken with instagram)
Ok, so I gave up cheese and chocolate (and all sweets in general) for lent this year, as I have done for the last few years. I didn’t find it too difficult apart from the odd craving.
This year, eating chocolate again a strange thing has happened: I didn’t really like it! It tasted too sweet and artificial. Despite this fact I still ate an entire easter egg. I’m really happy that my body now knows what’s good and bad for it. Now all I have to do is not mess this up and keep eating chocolate and make my body like it again.
So I’m officially over chocolate. This doesn’t mean I wont have the odd treat with chocolate in it though!
I honestly never thought I’d be here, I LOVE(D) chocolate and ate it at least once a day..and now I don’t need it anymore! I couldn’t be more surprised and happy.
Bad habits of a lifetime can be broken guys!
How to Be Alone - “There’s also the gym. If you’re shy you can hang out with yourself in mirrors. You could put headphones in.”
I’m a firm believer that everyone should be able to spend time alone in public. I’m actually really comfortable being alone - I kinda find it empowering being able to go to the cinema on my own, or eat lunch on my own without having to be on my phone/listen to music/pretend I’m waiting for someone..to just spend some time with my thoughts and no modern distractions is a rare thing these days and I embrace it!
Oh hai new followers!
My ask box is always open and I’d love to get to know you all, don’t be a stranger :)
I’m relatively new to the fitblr scene so I’m still working on things like my info page and theme..I’ll get to fix all those things and spend more time on here once my finals are over in 5 weeks :D
April 9-Sweat. Ok so you can’t actually see it but there is definitely sweat there! (Taken with instagram)
MBH Does Recipes
Hello cold weather, welcome back! I have missed you so much, along with the excuse to make delicious delicious soups. Soups were absolutely essential in getting me to learn to love veggies while I was cleaning up my diet.
Tonight, I’m sharing with you the TASTIEST soup you’ll ever have. It’s like having a bowl of cheese.
MBH’s Nomtastic Cauliflower Soup
Serves 4, 213 calories per serve. Definitely have it with some rye for dipping!30g butter
1 large head cauliflower, chopped into small florets
1L chicken stock
100ml creme fraiche
Salt & pepper to season
Melt the butter in a soup pot until it begins to foam. Add the chopped cauliflower and cook for 5 minutes to start softening, but don’t let the cauliflower get too much colour.Add the 1L of stock and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes until the cauli is nice and tender.
Turn off the heat and blend (I use a handheld blender in the pot) until smooth. Then add the creme fraiche and whisk through. Season as desired.
Easy peasy! AND SO TASTY. Oh my gosh. I just demolished my dinner.
Also - handy tip. This is the exact same recipe I use to make broccoli soup, but I replace the cauli with broccoli. Broccoli is a bit smaller, so you need to use more of it to stop the soup from being completely runny.
Enjoy this guys! Let me know if you try it!
Gotta start making soups again.

April 6 - Movement. It’s surprisingly difficult to take a picture if yourself jogging! (Taken with instagram)
Today’s Run
I felt absolutely awful from minute 1 of today’s run. I was ready to give up and walk the whole thing from the start, it’s amazing how a bad mood can affect your run (I didn’t even think I was in that bad a mood till I went running!) BUT I just kept telling myself ‘just get to that tree’ ‘just go another minute’ and i managed to talk myself through the whole run.
Despite all of this I beat all my personal bests today :D I think I felt so shitty and tired was cause I was running faster than usual and just didn’t realise it! Either that or I was running faster so I could be finished faster!
