melbournegirl Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Welcome back Derek! Good to hear from you. I've found your log and will check out how you are going. Must admit its been a struggle this last year and a half since I had surgery...(anaesthetics really stuff up my gut flora) and then went back to full time work (less time for exercise and food prep). I am yet to get back any consistency in my exercise and haven't managed any runs longer than 7 km since .... Would like to do a 10km and a 14km plus a 5 or 6km weekly again one day! But I have done lots of experimenting with food and alcohol and I know what works and what doesn't so I just need to roll my sleeves up and focus... Summers coming which is a good incentive and my work is finally stable so bring it on! I need to lose 20lbs so I can fit into my shorts again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek` Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 ahh. Best wishes with summer motivation. It can be great motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraRuns Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm jealous as you head into your summer and we head out of ours. Although, I really love Fall weather. It was beautiful here this past weekend, with the trees just starting to show some changes and day temps in the low 80s, but cooling off in the evenings. So glad you had a great time away! And glad to see you get right back on it. And glad to see you walking (and a little run) again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjena Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Ditto Sara. I love fall, but I'm sad summer is done. Our weekend was about as perfect as it gets, though. So beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melbournegirl Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Day4 6km walk, a bit sneezy (hay fever) M1 Pork and veg soup with an egg drop, melon, coffee with CM M2 Stuffed up with a farewell work morning tea at 11am... Ate scones with cream and jam... Decided this would be lunch at least and went for my 3km lunchtime walk but now my tummy hurts M3 veal and bacon roll ups with carrots, broccoli and potato and a glass of wine.... In for a penny in for a pound mentality!,, back to it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek` Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 work functions really have the potential to mess with my good intentions too It's crazy the amount of food around here - donuts, bagels, pizza, subs, etc. right back on the horse tomorrow...

SaraRuns Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I wish I didn't have that mentality (messed up today, might as well go all in), but I do. Work in progress. Hope today is a better day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Been so busy at work, must have worked over 60 hours last week and my eating was poor and my exercise variable. My lip all blistered up too, a bit like a cold sore... time to make my health a priority. Had a good nights sleep then up for a gentle 4 km jog Good breakfast of eggs and vege soup and a good lunch of salad and turkey. Made up a batch of chicken meatballs and turkey hash and cooking a big chicken casserole tonight so all ready for a good day tomorrow as well. Might have a bit of sugar and rice and wine but trying to avoid the nasties like gluten, dairy and legumes and eat sensible amounts. Played a bit of tennis and went for a swim.. Nice spring day. Weather is turning wintery again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 5km this morning in drizzle. Then a healthy breakfast of turkey mince and veg on spinach and some mango with coconut cream. My aim is to leave work at 5 pm today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melbournegirl Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hi all, still working long hours and will be travelling next week. But just about got regular exercise back into my daily routine and went for a 6km run this morning. Keeping coffee to one a day. And finally passed on the wine last night. Working on cutting out snacking now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
