Grapefruit for breakfast, and a coffee, after a sleep in and totally missing early morning spin. Whoops.

Because we ate at the pub the night before, we didn't have left overs for lunch. Here lies the first of the knock on affect of our bad Wednesday night decision. So Lee picked me up, we went off and did some lunch time shopping, which was naturally rushed. Neither of us had lunchspiration, so I called our fav. sushi place for pick up. Well, that was a big mistake. The sushi was smaller than usual, and didn't come with all the sides (like the noodle salad etc) but still cost the same... what?! It was still really good, but I dunno, I felt ripped off.

So we get home, exhausted and annoyed for some reason. Lee did about 1000 dishes before going to cook dinner. Anyway, so he goes to make rissoles (Lee's rissoles really kick ass), and bam, the meat that we defrosted two days ago that we were meant to have the day before - off. Thats right, brown, smelly and manky. OFF.
This threw us completely, and we spent the next hour trying to work out dinner. When you are annoyed, in your comfy trackies, and tired, your options are slim pickins.

So we went with something dirty. Harvey's. Well, its least dirty in the dirty category, grilled chicken burgers, but still at the end of the day, a burger is a burger. And I gotta say, it was goooood. Shame on us.

It really got us thinking about how easy it was to pick up something on the go in London thats healthy. We really miss Marks & Spencer in particular for this, if we were tired, annoyed, and anti-social, we could pick up a salad & wrap from M&S and call it a day. There are limited options here for 'healthy' quick foods. Pitas are about the closest I guess. Some of the 'healthier' options on take away foods here is a joke, like turkey wraps or salads, normally stuffed with fatty bacon (and have more calories than a pepperoni pizza). I guess at the end of the day, the bottom line is, I need to cook more, its that simple.

Two maple cookies later, and the day was done. Seeing a trend here? Hopefully I can pick up my game for the weekend...
