This edition of things I'm loving lately, will probably be highly influenced by my new uni life. The fact I'm living on strict budget, means you definitely appreciate the little things more! 1. Grapes Okay, okay, I know this is a weird one but I treat myself to grapes every week, usually on Monday and they last two days if I'm lucky... but normally its really less than 24 hours. I tend to have half in the evening after dinner and then the other half of the pallet in the morning with my breakfast and they are just great. When I come home, my mum always knows to have some grapes waiting for me! 2. Team Bath Sports Centre A big reason why I chose Bath uni was because of their amazing gym facilities... I mean its pretty impressive. I was pretty quick to buy my gym membership when I got to the uni, which initially I was unsure I was going to do, after the pretty hefty £280 price tag. I am pleased to say this was a well worthy investment. I have made full use of the free yoga, circuits, spin and pilates classes which come free with it. However, I went to one yoga class and it was honestly the most exhausting thing I have ever been too. I came out, not exactly relaxed but so tired I needed to go to bed (it was at 7pm on a Sunday, so kind of justifiable). The swimming pool, is actually a pool of dreams, having a 50m pool on my doorstep is certainly something I am not taking for granted. 3. Running I have such a love for running and over the last 10 months, injuries, exams and stress have really tested my patience. Thankfully my body all seems to be in one piece at the moment and I am enjoying every run. I'm exploring new routes in Bath, but also when I went home it felt so nice to run on my home routes. As many of you will know is that, since being at Bath I have picked up rowing, this is a huge commitments but something I am absolutely loving. The great thing is, running is part of my training for rowing as it is such a great way of keeping fit. This is no means the end of my running, I'm excited to be signed up to a few XC races this season, because nothing can take away my love of running, however much I love rowing too. 4. Uni meals... okay this isn't so much of something I'm loving, but more something I want to discuss. So for my first 6 weeks of uni, I have got through with some fine cooking, nothing great but also nothing bad. Everything I am making is just so bland. So, my challenge for the next few weeks is to try cooking with some more exciting flavours, I am planning on buying some onions and garlic. Plus, I have bought chilli oil, curry paste and hopefully I'll be able to get some teriyaki sauce soon too. I am going to be using some of Jamie Olivers recipes which have only 5 ingredients, to try and keep it simple but add a bit of fun to my meals. Here's a selection of some of my meals so far... which are a little bit boring but healthy (I've been getting my protein, carbs and veg in each meal too).
