Feeling energetic .. did my yoga at lunchtime, a lot of ferrying the kid around after school to scouts etc. Then a workout at midnight before bed
Saved a lot of time by only eating Huel yesterday too .. mmm chocolatey yumminess (but only after adding the choc protein powders and other flavourings LOL). I've given up on all Huel flavours except chocolate. Chocolate is king!
