28Day CH – Days 24-28 – Lessons Learned

Obviously this post is almost a week late going up and the main reason for that is that I'm just mortally embarrassed at what a weak attempt I made at the challenge AGAIN this week. There was cheating all over the place; I ate a lot of crisps and I drank alcohol at various points …

28Day CH – Day 23

Today was another busy day! It was get the kids off to school, purchase items for the hospital patient, visit the patient, speak with nursing staff, rush off to work over an hour late - lucky I work for understanding folks. Then pick up school based child, back to hospital to get the run down …

28Day CH – Day 22 – the final week!

Monday morning weigh-in: 64.7kg Funnily enough my naughty week only resulted in a 300g increase from last Monday's weigh-in so that's interesting. But all the little increases mean I'm only 600g down from my starting weight! Ha! It just goes to show how much those little weekend blowouts, and particularly alcohol, make it really hard …

28Day CH – Days 15 – 21 – Emotional eating and a weekend away

This week has been a bit of a fail in challenge land. I started out all happy and motivated and then found out there was quite the family drama that involves huge costs for us. They have medical issues but it's a self inflicted space and someone who has not been the best family member …

28Day CH – D13 + 14

Days 13 and 14 were the weekend and it was a pretty social one so I knew I was in trouble. I kept the food pretty clean but I drank wine at the hairdresser on Saturday and then had THREE absolutely delicious and probably extraordinarily high calorie cocktails at dinner. It was Mexican, you have …

28Day CH – Days 9, 10, 11 & 12

Given I'm covering 4 days I'll try to make it brief. Day 9 - TuesdayI 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! …

28Day CH – D7 + D8

Day 7Well I woke a tad dusty this morning but altogether not too bad. My biggest success in this challenge is still eating well even if I have a few drinks. I'm so proud of myself for doing this. Mood wise I feel amazing and quite energised and motivated so except for that shitty Thursday …

28Day CH – D5 + D6

Day 5Strangely enough and despite the wine I bounced out of bed this morning in the most amazing mood. I felt super motivated to get in and tackle many of the tasks I didn't get to yesterday and enjoyed myself immensely as I bustled round the house getting things done. It's so bizarre how things …

28Day CH – D3 + D4

I got smart after the first couple of days and decided to rejig my meal plan to suit the changes I'd already made. Let's see if I have more success at sticking to it. Day 3 Meal plan Eat out cafe breakfast for Mr8's Birthday Wholegrain crackers with cheese Cheesy meatloaf and salad Skip due …

28Day CH – D1 + D2

Don't you just love my shorthand? I hope it makes sense. There are going to be a lot of these posts so I wanted to make it easy. Here is a look at the first couple of days on the challenge. Day 1Meal plan Fruit salad with nuts and seeds (changed) Choc quinoa cupcakes (changed) …
