Hi from the Sunshine Coast. Well done glimmer on your progress. I have signed up and purchased the book but have not yet started. For some reason struggling to get my head around where to start and what to do. Any suggestions so that I don't make it all so complicated. Hope I have not written this in the wrong place if so I'm sorry :)

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.

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

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.

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.

Day 19.

B: sweet potato hash, mushrooms, spinach 2 poached eggs and smoked salmon

Wo: jumping chins, 2x 8 deadlift, 4x15-20 lunge rear foot lifted, push ups, romanian deadlift, dumbell rows

L: sweet potato, chocolate chilli, gai-lam

D: roast beef, roast beetroot and turnip, broccoli and zuchini, onion gravy

I didn't have enough food to do pre-post work outs snacks as it was shopping day. It didn't seem to bother me but I did have quite big meals

Fridge is now stocked with sliced up roast beef, a roast chook and some veggies as well as mayo. Prepping some grapes for the dehydrator to make some sultanas..hope they work.

ETA: feeling a little bit tiger blood at the moment, lots of energy, feeling on top of things (mostly) there could be something in this eating well ; )

ETA2: went back for a 4th meal tonight about 8.30? So starving. Had chicken, beetroot mayo an apple and some almonds....must have been missing that post work out snack.
