http://claireashdjian.blogspot.com/2011/06/irritating-woman-new-love-in-my-life.html
Diary of Claire Ashdjian. Monday, 13 June 2011. An irritating woman, a new love in my life and disaster in the kitchen. Maybe I need my morning run? Maybe the cow deserved it? Maybe I was just snappy through lack of sleep worrying about my sister since friday? I probably did when I first held mine, but I really can't remember it that well) I instantly fell in love! He's absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way. I'm not ashamed to say, I cried. So, got in and cooked my dinner. Well.kind of de...That'...

Diary of Claire Ashdjian: July 2011
http://claireashdjian.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Diary of Claire Ashdjian. Tuesday, 26 July 2011. I recieved an email from my sister asking for dietary help. This morning, my sister (25yr old) emailed me to ask for some dietary help. She asked if I could give her any ideas on "what are some good low calorie/low carb alternatives for potatoes and pasta etc? Who thought of the phrase '5 a day', when some recent research suggests you need at least 20 a day to get your daily nutrients? I hope I helped and didn't drown her with information. Tonight, I h...

Diary of Claire Ashdjian: 4 nights in Scotland for my cousin's wedding
http://claireashdjian.blogspot.com/2011/08/4-nights-in-scotland-for-my-cousins.html
Diary of Claire Ashdjian. Monday, 1 August 2011. 4 nights in Scotland for my cousin's wedding. I had a fabulous time in Scotland. My cousins are brilliant, my Aunt and Uncle are so hospitable and made us right at home and it was a lovely break for me and John. We arrived late on Weds, went to bed, then went into Stirling to pick up our kilts, which after a little confusion over the sizing, turned out good in the end. We went shopping for a bit and had lunch at McDonalds. (sorry! Cambridge, United Kingdom.

Diary of Claire Ashdjian: Thinking outside the box and appreciating what my mentor has given me
http://claireashdjian.blogspot.com/2011/08/thinking-outside-box-and-appreciating.html
Diary of Claire Ashdjian. Tuesday, 2 August 2011. Thinking outside the box and appreciating what my mentor has given me. I said I'd do a blog concerning family meals, making them healthier and keeping them low cost. I won't go into recipes and what-nots, just try to give you a little food for thought and encourage you to expand your culinary skills beyond chicken and potatoes. And lentils are brilliant, especially the yellow or orange ones which can go from bag to table in as little as 20mins. Some of my...

Diary of Claire Ashdjian. Saturday, 11 June 2011. Personal best, multitasking and feasting. My PERSONAL BEST in time and distance! Now the food diary. Green juice, followed by green tea with jasmine (mother in law gave me a Whittards box full 'cos father in law doesn't like it. WIN! Was VERY hungry, so made a banana, oat, rice milk pancake drizzled with agave followed by a pear. And RELAX! As far as you can with 4yr and 5yr old boys and a mad 'doodle! What will tomorrow bring I wonder? I started my day w...

Diary of Claire Ashdjian: September 2011
http://claireashdjian.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Diary of Claire Ashdjian. Saturday, 17 September 2011. Self pity can seriously damage your health. Goodbye Half Marathon on Oct 9th. I have been so down and sad because of this, but also as I was just starting to see minor changes in my calfs and thighs, due to the running sculpting my muscles. I've been resting, limping and self pitying for the last couple of days. Friday, 9 September 2011. My recipe for Raw Carrot Cake. After all, the beauty of raw food is you can taste it as you go, without the "cooki...

Diary of Claire Ashdjian. Thursday, 30 June 2011. The great mood debate. So I've been in a REALLY great mood for about 2 weeks now, constantly, non stop, silly tummy tingling happy mood. It's such a strange sensation for me. I'm used to the ODD happy day, only to fall down to the ground the next day with a massive bump and then carry on feeling my usual nonchalant self (if I'm lucky) for a couple of weeks waiting for my next happy fix. Tuesday, 28 June 2011. Famous for 5 minutes. Monday, 27 June 2011.

Diary of Claire Ashdjian: My recipe for Raw Carrot Cake
http://claireashdjian.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-recipe-for-raw-carrot-cake.html
Diary of Claire Ashdjian. Friday, 9 September 2011. My recipe for Raw Carrot Cake. I was ploughing through online recipes for raw carrot cake, and couldn't find anything that sounded easy, tasty, or "right", so I thought I'd just get on and do it! After all, the beauty of raw food is you can taste it as you go, without the "cooking" process altering the flavour. 1kg carrots, juiced. Use the pulp. 3 Tbsp dessicated coconut. 1 Tbsp melted coconut oil. 1 tsp ground ginger. 1 tsp all spice. Juice of 1 lemon.

Diary of Claire Ashdjian: Rain and the waiting game
http://claireashdjian.blogspot.com/2011/06/rain-and-waiting-game.html
Diary of Claire Ashdjian. Sunday, 12 June 2011. Rain and the waiting game. Rainy day all day, so decided against taking Bruno out on my run as he goes crazy mad in the wet, dashing about and being generally clumsy. So just me and the boys (on their bikes) up to histon and back. 5.3km in 33mins, which isn't brill, but it's not shabby. Anything to take my mind off the fact that my sister's been in the labour ward since Friday morning. Today was supposed to be my fasting day, but that's gone to pot,. I live...
