Nope, this isn't some weird filter experiment; this steak really is at least 3 times bigger than my hand!

Last night I taught my first full #bodystep class since 2011! 💙💙💙 . . Today my left glutes & I have decided this relationship is over 😬😬😬 .... . TBH it's really not that bad - I honestly think CrossFit has played a major part in my being strong and fit enough to come back to step after 8 years, after knee surgery, without being totally broken afterwards! 💗💗💗 . . #edinburghfitness #bodystep #lesmills #lesmillsinstructor #fitness #fitnessinstructor #groupfitness #fitnessclass #stepaerobic #steppers #bodysteppers #bodyconditioning #lowerbodyworkout #crossfit #crossfitconditioning #crosstraining #kneesurgery #kneerecovery #Leith #edinburgh

I spotted this craziness in the supermarket yesterday. Square sausage is a particularly Scottish breakfast item and I have ZERO idea why any veggies/vegans would want to remind themselves of how horrible it can be! 😂😂😂 Mind you, if it didn't have wheat in, then I probably would have tried it! . . #scottish #scotland #scottishfood #breakfast #breakfastideas #vegetarian #vegetarianbreakfast #vegetarianbreakfastideas #veganbreakfastideas #vegetarianoptions #veganoptions #squaresausage #vegetariansquaresausage #politicalcorrectnessgonemad #meatfree #meatfreeoptions #plantbased #leithfoodie #leith #fitness #fitnessinstructor #edinburghfitness #healthyedinburgh #edinburgh

Waaaay back in the late 80s/early 90s, every Veggie I knew regularly had Cauliflower Cheese Grills - great as part of a meal, great on a sandwich when you came back from the pub at 02:00! So I decided to make my own gluten-and dairy-free version 👍💗💜💙💚💛 . . ⭐ Lo-Dough cauliflower, @buteislandfoods jalapeno cheddar cheese & caramelised onion cakes .... Per cake: 2P 6F 12C 110kcal . . These are so tasty that I've basically been eating one every time I go past the fridge! 🤤😒😒 I have to say, @lodough.co makes absolutely fantastic breadcrumbs, I think I feel Chicken Kievs coming on next! . . #healthyeating #healthyeats #retrofood #healthyliving #healthylivingjourney #healthylife #vegetarian #instaveggie #plantbased #glutenfree #glutenfreefood #glutenfreevegetarian #glutenanddairyfree #glutenanddairyfreelife #dairyfree #dairyfreerecipes #fitness #fitnessfood #fitnessfoodie #crossfit #crossfitvegetarian #crossfitfood #eattobehealthy #eattobestrong #cauliflower #cauliflowercheese #dairyfreecauliflowercheese #leith #edinburghfitness #edinburgh @ Healthy Ambitions

I think I may have a new favourite thing! 💛💚💙💜💗 . . ⭐ @lodough.co garlic bread w/ bacon, dairy-free cheddar & jalapenos ⭐ Curried Carrot soup... . . 22P 13F 32C 322kcal for this whole meal . . Over the last couple of weeks I've tried a gluten-eating experiment - not a huge amount, but just enough to find out if I'm still affected by it - and while I didn't have any very strong instant reactions to it, my immune system has definitely been depressed, my pain scores are higher and I really have had zero enthusiasm for most things - hence the absence of posts on social! . . I'm delighted to be on day 4 of no gluten again and it's the first day I've felt even vaguely human in ages. 👍👍👍 At the moment, it's still the right way for me to eat! . . #healthyeating #healthyeats #healthyeatingonabudget #healthylivingjourney #healthyliving #wheatfree #glutenfree #glutenfreegarlicbread #glutenfreemeals #glutenfreefood #glutenanddairyfree #glutenanddairyfreelife #dairyfree #dairyfreecheese #fitness #edinburghfitness #edinburghfoodie #fitnessfood #fitnessfoodie #crossfit #crossfitfood #crossfitnutrition #eattobehealthy #eattobestrong #eattherightwayforyou #youdoyou #leith #healthyedinburgh #edinburgh @ Healthy Ambitions

I heard a huge CRASH in the kitchen from my treatment room yesterday... When I went to investigate I found a guilty-looking Mr. Smudge, a broken plate and an empty bowl that had contained Mr. Vince's breakfast. I wonder what could have happened?! 😼😼😼 . . #cats #cats_of_instagram #catsofleith #catsofedinburgh #instacat #naughtycat #naughtycats #hungrycat #greedycat #guiltycat #Leith #edinburgh @ Healthy Ambitions

It took an almost heroic effort (and a daytime nap) to get this stir-fry meal prep done for the week to come, but I finally managed! I've picked up a bit of a cold so really needed a good mix of nutrients in my meals to boost my immune system. . . ⭐ Tenderstem broccoli ⭐ Butternut squash... ⭐ Roast chicken ⭐ Red onion ⭐ Black bean noodles ⭐ Garlic & gluten-free soy . . 48P 9F 33C 388kcal . . I managed to hit the supermarket at exactly the right time on Thursday when the assistant was yellow-stickering down to 5p; it pleases me greatly that the only ingredient in this meal that was full price is the noodles! 😂👍😂 . . #healthyeating #healthyeatingonabudget #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #healthylivingjourney #yellowsticker #bargains #fakeaway #stirfry #glutenfree #glutenfreerecipes #glutenfreenoodles #glutenfreefood #glutenanddairyfree #glutenanddairyfreelife #dairyfree #dairyfreerecipes #tenderstembroccoli #butternutsquash #fitness #edinburghfitness #fitnessfood #fitnessfoodie #crossfit #crossfitfood #eattobehealthy #boostyourimmunesystem #leith #edinburgh @ Healthy Ambitions

Who says the brain is not the boss of the body?! I have this really annoying tendency to overthink physical movements and quite often talk myself out of them... . . ⭐ @lodough.co pizzas w/ tuna, anchovies, red onion & @buteislandfoods Greek-style cheese .... . Last night @edoxcrossfit I got around this by getting @hello_mogwai to tell me unequivocally that I was jumping way high enough to jump up on the 24" box... and I believed her and managed it! 👍👍👍 My reward was a large Parma Violet G&T and a pizza 💜💙💚💛💗 Self-care comes in lots of different forms! . . #healthyeating #healthyeats #healthybalance #lowcarbpizza #dairyfreepizza #glutenfreepizza #tunapizza #anchovypizza #glutenfreerecipes #glutenfree #glutenfreepescatarian #dairyfree #dairyfreerecipes #glutenanddairyfreelife #glutenanddairyfree #glutensensitivity #dairysensitivity #fitness #edinburghfitness #fitnessedinburgh #fitnessinstructor #fitnessfood #fitnessfoodie #eattofeelgood #crossfit #crossfitfood #crossfitwin #selfcare #leith #edinburgh

A few weeks ago, I found a yellow-ticket spiralizer in the supermarket and was delighted to be able to make my own veggie "pastas" whenever I fancied! . . ⭐ Courgette spaghetti, dressed w/olive oil, frenched black pepper & Maldon sea salt ⭐ Seared lamb's liver, beef and green lentil ragout... . .
