Day 5: Leisurely exercise!

This morning I woke at 8am after 8.5 hours sleep.

As I was off work today we decided to head to Glendalough and do a short 6km hike.

 When we got there I saw a hike trail for 16km, (approx 4.5hours according to the information centre) which I am definitely returning to do when I have a day with more time. 

Breakfast:

Omelette; 1 egg, 1 egg white with smoked salmon and cottage cheese. 

Cup of green tea.

Snack: 

Half ways through the hike we had a sit down at a scenic viewpoint and I had a boiled egg and a cup of green tea.

Lunch:

As we were out for the day I had little choice in what I ate. 

We went for a carvery lunch and it wasn't very nice. 

As 90% of it wasn't gluten or dairy free I ended up with cabbage, carrots and lamb for dinner.

It was a huge portion and barely ate half. 

It wasn't satisfying at all so I was really looking forward to my dinner. 

Snack:

Another boiled egg minus the yolk.

We drove to Bunclody for the night and stayed in the Millrace Hotel, just across from Bunclody Golf and Fishing Club.

Exercise:

A leisurely swim in the pool for 50mins. 

Dinner:

Dinner was fab. 

Grilled Salmon, asparagus, prawns and a purée of red pepper. 

Cup of green tea. 

It is very tempting to slip away from routine and a strict eating schedule when away for a weekend but if you really want it, you will.
