It’s been a while since I did this because I kinda feel a little annoying when I do but it seems to help. I feel much more accountable for what I eat and I eat a lot less!

I’m well under my goal intake (although to be completely honest I’m sure this isn’t accurate because I haven’t been monitoring my serving sizes) but I’ll probably make a healthy snack later on just incase.

Spent the morning at the beach so swam and walked and all that, then later in the evening I did a big hike and climbed our city’s highest mountain! It was the first time I’ve done something like that all by myself and I was so surprised at how well I did because I’m usually quite self-deprecating and not very motivated but I did it! Yay me!

Breakfast

Half cup of oatmeal with sultanas and sliced banana

Lunch

2 slices wholegrain toast topped with avocado

One oatmeal raisin cookie (aaaaand this is where it all went downhill)

Dinner

Vegetarian fried rice. Ate out tonight, tried to make the healthiest choice I could at the place we were eating but I know my meal would have still been around the 800 calorie mark. I could’ve easily left half on my plate and been fine because it was such a large meal but I’ve always been told never to waste food and it’s hard sitting there with it in front of me while everyone else is still eating. Two things I learnt tonight: Eating out is hard, and portion control is harder.

Total Intake: 2000ish

Exercise

20 mins moderate intensity on rowing machine. Today was supposed to be a running day but the weather was crap so I substituted another type of cardio. I also hung around while my boyfriend did his strength training and wanted to try it myself so he tweaked the workouts so I’d be able to do them and I ended up doing a full on weight lifting session. Was really good!

-200 calories

Net Calories: 1800

It’s been a bad two days food-wise. I need to have more willpower and self control, but I have no idea how to get it. I’m completely fine when it comes to working out but food is such a problem for me. Ugh. Tomorrow is a new day I guess.

Breakfast

Weetbix with a sliced banana and skim milk

Black tea with one teaspoon of raw sugar and skim milk

Lunch

3 pieces of sushi- tuna, avocado and prawn tempura

Cappuccino with trim milk

Dinner

Delicious seafood curry and rice made by my boyfriend’s lovely mother

Snacks

Spent the day in the kitchen baking cookies! Made a batch of chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies then had two of each. Good for the soul, not so great for the calorie count. Put me up to a total of almost 2000. I really must learn to eat sweets in moderation, but I gotta admit 4 is an improvement for me (I usually eat the whole lot!).

Total Intake: 1812

Exercise

30 mins of Pilates. Proud of myself for sticking to my new exercise plan even though I’ve woken up sore every day.

- 87

Net: 1725

Tomorrow is another day, with hopefully less cookies.

Had such a lovely day today, spent the afternoon at the beach with my boyfriend, had my first dip in the ocean in months and even saw a pod of dolphins! Really proud of myself for eating so well and keeping up with my exercise too. Hope you guys had a good day :)

Breakfast

2 slices wholegrain toast topped with avocado and cracked pepper- 313

Lunch

Was craving my usual breakfast of oatmeal since I didn’t have it in the morning

1/2 cup oatmeal with cinnamon and honey- 200

Dinner

Homemade black bean burritos with lots of vegetables mixed in for good measure- 514

Next time I wont be using tortilla wraps because I just love eating the filling on its own so I’m basically just adding unwanted calories. Also treated myself to a little grated cheddar and sour cream which is why the calorie count is quite high

Snacks

Peach and pear low fat yoghurt- 76

Rice cakes with Laughing Cow lite cheese spread- 72, 35

Also randomly ate some bran cereal (as you can tell I have quite a love for breakfast foods)- 154

Total: 1364

Not bad, usually try to stay just above 1200 but its still a good number. Plus if I do a little exercise later on I should go down to the perfect number :)

6 slices of tuna sushi

1 spinach and tofu tempura sushi

Snacks

1 peach yoghurt

Lots and lots of tea as always

No workout today, did a whole heap of walking around the city all day but didn’t want to push myself too hard after my mega workout last night. Still feeling it today!
