Since I am having so much trouble with my food, I am breaking it down. This week, I just want perfect breakfasts. All healthy. All under 300 calories.
Next week I'll move to lunches.
Then by mid month, I should be good to go.

232.6

MS 5K

Scab challenged me to get off my bum by signing up for another 5k.
So I did.
And, I did it.

Very cold day in Melbourne but it was a great way to catch up with lovely friends and get my exercise out of the way for the day. Thanks Lisa and Ian and Scab!

BTW - this does not count for my ATW (around the world) 5ks because I already had an Australian race completed. Maybe I need to add in different states/locations as well. Hmmmmmmm....... Something to think about.

NutriBullet!!!!

One of my health goals this week was to get a NutriBullet to help with my breakfasts and lunches. I did my research, made a grocery list and off I went to buy it. Obviously, I didn't do enough research because they are only available online. I didn't let that stop me! I went on Gumtree and found one for sale immediately and went and picked it up. I was on a mission!

Off to the grocery store. My list of ingredients I wanted on hand for maximum vitamins and nutrients was:

Frozen Mango
Frozen Berries
Frozen Broccoli
Frozen Cauliflower
Fresh Broccoli
Fresh Cauliflower
Fresh Cucumber
Fresh Kale (to be frozen)
Fresh Bananas (which will be frozen if they start to go super brown)
Almonds
Chia
Flax
Raw Cacao (no sugar)
Almond Milk
Coconut Milk

You don't need all of this but I really want to experiment and try fun new things. So, I came home tonight to have a smoothie and I threw a whole bunch of stuff into the bullet. It took about 20 seconds to liquify and presto....I had the yuckiest tasting beverage EVER!!!!!!

Moral of the story....there are about a million recipes online. Use them.
Looking forward to giving it a try again tomorrow.

Monday Motivation

I do feel this is a true inspirational quote. It was only when I made my health a priority every day that I made it happen. I recently heard a speaker say "hope is not a marketing plan" and you could say that for weight loss planning as well. "I hope I lost weight this week." Hope is not a plan.

What am I doing to make it happen?

1 - counting calories

2 - watching my quality of calorie

3 - working out

This weeks goals were around the nutribullet (check) and getting more workouts in. So far I am two for two.

Sunday Weigh In...literally

I am officially posting my weight at 231.6 today although when I first woke up, it was at 233. But I think if you are good enough to go and do some exercise and dehydrate your body, you should be able to claim the lack of water in your weight loss.

So, official weigh in - 231.6.
Thoughts?

Intervention accomplished

I asked for help and got it. Scab immediately told me to sign up for a 5k so I did. My friend Ian is running with me and I decided to spend the whole of Sunday working on my eating and health. I will NOT work at all until after 8pm

Action Items:
1 - buy a nutri bullet
I am getting sloppy with my breakfasts again so I thought this might help?

2 - make a list of super healthy meals and do a big grocery shop

3 - plan and freeze meals for the week so there are no excuses

4 - spend some time relaxing instead of working

No friends, no movies, no going out for meals.  Just a super healthy Sunday!

Funny Friday

I think I have been in the awkward stage for over a year!!!!
