28Day CH – Days 9, 10, 11 & 12

Given I’m covering 4 days I’ll try to make it brief.

Day 9 – Tuesday

I worked again today and given I enjoyed the meals so much yesterday I pretty much ate the same thing during the day.

B – cinnamon banana on rye sourdough

MT – strawberry / feta / avo papadums- my new favourite!

L – rocket, avo, sun dried tomato and haloumi mountain bread wrap. YUM!

AT – 2 x wholegrain crackers and cheese

D – spag bol with green vegetables instead of pasta.

DST – 2 dark choc squares

I wasn’t as tired today and my sore throat was gone away so maybe my body was fighting infection and that’s why I struggled so much last night. Mr8 was home from school – fortunately I can take him to work as their office is in their home and we know the family well.

Exercise – aside from working in my feet for the majority of the day there was no deliberate exercise…

Day 10 – Wednesday

Mr8 was home again so I called into my other job that I’d been working from home and I booked him a Drs appt. Lucky I did – it turned out to be a chest infection!

It’s harder to eat well when I’m at home and have easier access to off plan goodies.

B – it was supposed to be porridge but I changed it to the cinnamon banana toast from the day before as it was so delish.

MT – wholegrain crackers and cheese

L – I did a workout at 12 then had to take Mr8 to the doctor at 1pm so it was a late lunch today and I felt lazy about preparing something so bought a wholegrain chicken salad roll from the bakery. They are pretty big and have butter and cheese so I decided it need to cover afternoon tea too.

AT – Well I wasn’t going to have anything but then Mr8 begged me to make him cheese scrolls with pastry so I did and then I ate more than a couple. Plus I had a few of his jelly beans he’d scammed from the chemist.

As a result of the food blow out I didn’t bother with a formal dinner. I fed the kids of course and had a few leftover glasses of sparkling (wine not water) from the weekend.

Exercise – weights workout middle of the day.

Day 11 –Thursday

Girls day with Miss 3 today. She had swimming lessons in the morning and then we went for coffee and ice cream and then we went to an indoor play centre as she has been bugging me to go loads lately so figured today was the day.

B – meant to be porridge again but I changed to wholemeal toast with avo and a boiled egg. It was really yum!!

MT – cheese and wholegrain crackers x 2

L – leftover ginger chicken stir fry from Monday night.

AT – CHEAT – there was a salted caramel choc mousse stashed in the back of the fridge and I decided today was the day. Ha! It was delicious.

D – because I splurged at AT I had my plan AT of strawberry feta avo papadums for dinner and errr 3 glasses of red wine.

Can anyone hear me as I self destruct???

Exercise – exer-what???

Day 12 – Friday

Worked again today! It’s been a massive week work wise for me and I’m knackered. The house is falling apart and my energy levels are low and I totally lost my cool with the kids this morning. I woke up to my period too so I guess that’s also a factor.

FRIDAY AM WEIGH-IN: 63.6kg / -1kg from Monday, -1.7kg so far.

Pretty happy with weigh-in results! Will be pretty devastated if I can’t maintain it over the weekend though…

Today..

B – strawberry cream oats – really felt like porridge this morning

MT – felt full from oats so did have snack and waited until lunch.

L – I’d packed a wrap from earlier this week but one of the other girls in the office bought in chicken, salad, olives and cheese and other yummy things to feed everyone lunch. So nice! So I had that instead.

AT – my beloved papadums. Ha!

D – the kids wanted toasted sandwiches again so being Friday night I let them have it with fruit and I just had the same.

Exercise – 100% too tired. I would normally have had a session with my trainer but I had to work all day so it wasn’t possible. It’s really hard to fit in a workout when you work and have kids and no partner there all the time to sub in for you. I could have done something at home I guess but I’m just too fucking tired to be bothered. Bad attitude I know but it is what it is today. The kids dad flew back tonight so I’m going to scoot out in the morning and get something in then.
