glimmer Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Day 17 strange day. Sitting down to write this and I am struggling to remember what I ate which is cool because it. Means I am less focused on what I eat, but frustrating as I want to write it down..lol Lets see B eggs, turkey mince , sweet potato some sort of green veg coconut oil Prewos boile egg W.O. Jumping chins, incline bench, the 4x15-20 reps dumbell squats plates, shoulder press, step ups with dumbells and reverse grip lat pull downs P.woS sweet potato boiled egg L: salad of some sort with chicken and turkey D: red Thai curry fish, cauliflower rice. Another strange th ing happened today ..I didn't eat all my breaky...I was full..so I stopped eating before the plate was empty ( what is this strange concept). I couldn't quite bring myself to throw it it he bin so put it in the fridge. Same thing happened at lunch Not so much at dinner..dinner was. Inhaled..lol Also got some soaked almonds dehydrating/activating so will be interested to see how they go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Strange concept indeed, well done for another 'first' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glimmer Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Sigh..trust me to get 'comfortable' with this. Late night munchies won last night. It started with me testing the dryness of the almonds, then eating a handful, then having a handful of blueberries, then a banana and almond butter. Note to self, let others do quality control on foods than need to be tested/prepped after dinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 It's difficult, isn't it? But 2 steps forward one step back still creates great progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glimmer Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Thanks juzbo, when I look at what I ate that day i don't think it was enough. I really only had carbs in the morning. Today I had a sweet potato with lunch hoping it sees me through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I am trying to have a sweet potato every day now, got some for $1.50 a kg too, and pumpkin for $1 at an Asian grocer.... Much cheaper than eating nuts for sure. Going to the mulgrave farmers market tomorrow, it's on every Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glimmer Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Day 18 B leftover cauliflower rice, green veg and 4 eggs in coconut oil L: steak, sweet potato mushrooms spring onions and spinach S: banana and almonds D: chocolate chilli cauli and zuch mash, spinach Craptacular day. My son has been vomiting everywhere which rendered me housebound. I was so looking forward to a somewhat civilised Sat of farmers market and coffee with friends..boo hiss to vomit germs! Because of this I really want a drink..lol. I a, currently bargaining with myself over it. ...I really hope I don't give in as its only 12 days to go and I don't fancy doing this all again.

glimmer Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 I was going to go to Fairfield. (Closest on this weekend) ended up deciding to grab a few bits of veg in Safeway as I left it too late to get to Flemington today and got a whole lot of stuff on clearance. $9 for 3 big bags stuffed with fruit and veg including mangos and grapes(kids are happy). Beets and turnips, zucchini, button squash, capsicum, broccoli and apples. Doing a big cook up in the barbie of roast beef (from freezer stash) and free-range chook. The beets are roasting and I will do the turnips too. might do the capsicum and zuchini too if I can find room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
