Your hair looks lovely, my babe! I think your initial reaction was perfectly normal, I would feel the exact same way. Glad you've made (or are making) peace with it. xox
Thanks ladies!
Well last night I wasn't as good as I was hoping, I had chicken breast (OMG, it was the size of my face!) which came with an enormous baked potato and a side salad (didn't realise it came with a salad, I'd ordered greens on the side). Ate all the chicken, 1/4 of the potato, didn't touch the salad and only had a few greens, also had a glass of sparkling wine. Then we went to Ben & Jerry's for dessert, I SO wasn't hungry but got a hot fudge sundae with nuts and cream... ate about 3/4 of it. Blarg, too much food!!! Though I guess better than I would've done in the past.
Today is going to look something like this, already eaten my first 2 meals and prepped the next 2 for work-
B Quest bar (wasn't hungry when I woke up)
S 1 sausage and leftover corn/cauliflower fritter
L Strawberry protein smoothie
S 40g nuts
D Stir fry with 2 cups mixed veg, slim rice, 130g either prawns or squid
Exercise None!
I'll put tomorrows plan down now too...
B 1/2 cup muesli, 150g Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup cherries
Pre-workout 4 Brazil nuts
Post-workout Protein bar
L Mountain bread pizza
S 40g dip, carrot
D 130g roast beef, 2 cups mixed roast veg
Exercise A gym class called 'meta fit', the only description is HIIT body weight movements. So it might be painful!

Yesterday ended with a bit of chocolate, weighed in at 69.1kg again which is understandable between the cheat meal Sat night and choc yesterday.
Today was really good, didn't look at all like my plan though! Breakfast was the same, didn't have a pre-workout meal as I wasn't hungry after my brekki, had a Quest bar and carrot/40g hummus after my workout. Went out for lunch, had a bit of beef and chicken, some steamed veg and a roast potato, afternoon tea was a protein smoothie (drank it while walking along the beach) and then for dinner I made a prawn stir fry.
The class I did today was pretty rough, think I might be a bit sore tomorrow! I have my first proper PT session in the morning, also going to yoga tomorrow night.
Food plan for tomorrow
B 1/3 cup oats, 1/2 cup mixed berries, 2 tbsp. LSA, 1 tsp chia seeds
Post workout Protein bar
S 1 banana, 40g nut butter
L 130g roast beef in mountain bread with cottage cheese, tomato, lettuce
S 1 carrot, 40g hummus
D 130g roast beef, 2 cups mixed roast veg
After yoga 4 Brazil nuts
Exercise PT session, yoga

I'm sorry about Wade, that must be really tough.
Your hair is lovely!
Hope your cat poops out the string easily. I once groomed a dog that had a grocery bag half pooped out! I had to slowly pull it all the way out! Thankfully it was nicely compacted into a poop shape so didn't have too much to pull out!

My cat pooped out a ton of plastic the other day--They have pica, I swear to god. They eat the sealant our of our windows, string, ANY plastic, corners of books, etc. Mental little buggers. Hope she passes her string soooooon!
Oh my God, thanks for the pet poop horror stories. Hahaha!!!
Better get on with telling you how my day went. Food was perfect! Exercise was.... fucked, for lack of a better word. Went to my PT sesh and was worried about finding the street entrance so left a bit early, got there 10mins early. PT was already there, told me to warm up and we started straight away... then I didn't finish till approx an hour later- we went over my half hour session... by half an hr lol. Did legs today, I spent 10mins stretching them just so I could get down the stairs to leave. Was already starting to feel doms by 2pm so I know I'm going to be crippled tomorrow. Still went to pilates and OMG, of course the first half hour was leg/glute work. FML. Done eveything in my power to keep my muscles functioning, had a hot/cold interval shower after my workout, taken 2 high doses of magnesium, took some aloe vera and some L Glutamine... used the foam roller...
PT again tomorrow morning...
Food plan for tomorrow
B 2 eggs on mountain bread with cottage cheese
Pre workout 4 Brazil nuts
Post workout protein shake
S Banana with 40g nut butter
L Mountain bread wrap with pastrami, cottage cheese, cucumber, capsicum, lettuce
S Protein ball
D 130g roast beef, 2 cups mixed roast veg
Exercise PT session, think that's it unless Wade wants me to gym with him tomorrow night. Don't think I'll be functioning though

Had an amazing sleep last night and woke up feeling pretty good- my legs actually aren't that bad! Made it up and down the stairs at the gym without them caving or wobbling. PT session this morning went for almost an hour again, yikes. We did back, feeling sufficiently dead now. Had my fav snack when I got back, banana slices with nut butter. Seriously the best snack ever!
Not doing much the rest of the day, watching Spartacus on Netflix right now, it's... interesting. Wade has a short day today so he might want to go to the gym, I've looked at classes for the afternoon and they're all high intensity so don't think I'll be going with him. Tomorrow morning I have a dentist appt at 8am, think I might go to the gym at 630 for body balance (kinda like yoga) and the dentist is the building next door so I'll walk straight on over. Also walking to work tomorrow.
Hmmm, nothing exciting happening the rest of the week! My last PT session is on Fri this week so think we are going to do cheat meal Fri night (didn't want to do it before then as PT might want to weigh me in on Fri morning). Cuz I finish work early Wade and I are going to drive and check out a new wing being built on a shopping centre here, then will get food on the way home. Will either be pizza or burgers and chips, will see what we want on the day!
Anyhoo, will post tomorrows food plan now in case I'm not back on today.
B 1/3 cup oats, 1/2 cup blueberries, 2 tbsp LSA, almond milk
Post workout protein shake
S Carrot, 40g hummus
L Wrap with meat and salad
S 40g almonds
D Salmon, 2 cups cooked veg
Exercise 1hr body balance class, 50min walk to work

Srsly, Lucy, mountain pizza. Share the love. How do I create this? *drools*
MrVee- Urrgh. Some leg days I just feel the need to curl up in the foetal position afterward and suck my thumb. I did the next best thing, spread over the couch and watched Netflix all day. It's always a bit of a thrill seeing if I can make the walk home or not!
Mystic- Doms are so bad today, I'm pretty sure I'm dying. These workouts have been REALLY rough.
Sunflower- I use mountain bread as the base (only 70cals a piece, also works great as the bottom crust of a pie), fold it over then add toppings. Pretty decent size pizza for hardly any calories! (50g mozzarella is approx. 150cals, 70 for the base, add shredded chicken and veg and it's only around 300 all up!)
I got up suuuuper early this morning to attend this balance class, only to get there and find out it was cancelled because of poor attendance. Boo! I did 20ish mins of cardio instead as my hamstrings have been killing me, so thought I'd move my legs a bit just so I could have a stretch. There's another class tonight at 6.30 I might try to get to instead (same class). Anyway, walked home as my dentist appt. was still an hour away.
Dentist was fine, 27 years without a cavity! Wooo! They did mention taking my wisdom teeth again, I might try and do that at the end of my holidays mid July. We'll see. Doing nothing now, have a couple of hours before I need to start getting ready for work (I have to start walking at around 11.45).
Cheat meal tomorrow, going to go to my fav burger place and get a burger and sweet potato chips (it's very similar to Grill'd if you know what that is, just think they do it better!) Going to need it tomorrow anyway, PT session in the morning and then I have to walk to work and back again... so serious calories burned tomorrow. Looking forward to my weekend of rest!
Food plan for tomorrow
B 1/2 cup muesli, 150g light Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup raspberries
Pre workout 4 Brazil nuts
Post workout Protein shake
S Mountain bread chicken and mushroom pie
L Smoothie
S 40g almonds
D Huge burger and sweet potato chips
Exercise PT session (chest), walk to work and back again (approx. 1h50min)

Portsmouth does not have mountain bread. Life ruined.
Sunflower- There are heaps of places you can order it from online, it's an international product. So worth it if you can get your hands on it, I use it as pastry for sausage rolls and desserts/ pie bases/ lasagne layers/ pizza bases... and only 70cals a piece. Actually I do use it as a wrap also, haha!!
Cate- Thanks Cate, I'm SO determined this time!
Good day today guys, had another MASSIVE PT session today... did chest/shoulders and went for just over an hour. Next week I'm going Mon/Tue/Thu, with Mon being lower body, Tue upper body and Thu a full body HIIT session. Going to try to go to yoga/body balance at least twice too, I might go at least Tue/Thu night and possibly on Wed. Depending how I feel on Fri I would like to do another high intensity class, might do body pump in the evening.
Cheat meal was *SO AMAZING*. And huge, always forget how massive those burgers are!
Food plan for tomorrow
B 1/3 cup oats, 1/2 banana, 20g peanut butter, 1 tsp chia seeds
S Satay prawn stir fry with slim pasta and 2 cups veg
L Smoothie
S 2 hard boiled eggs, 1 carrot
D 100g bacon, 2 cups veg (green beans and broccoli), ricotta sauce
Exercise 50min walk to work

Thats a lot of exercise for the week!!
Mystic- I actually don't think it's too bad, I have 2 weight sessions, 2 HIIT sessions, the rest are yoga/pilates/balance which are more stretching than anything else. I also restrict everything to Mon-Fri, the most I do on a weekend is walk 1 way to work.
I made a pumpkin soup for dinner in the slow cooker, had that with bacon and OMG... possibly one of the greater things I've eaten this week. Made the bacon really crispy and added it to the soup.
Hey I just realised, today was my 6th perfect day this week! Been completely on point with my food/exercise. Just got to get through tomorrow and then weigh in.
Food for tomorrow
B Blueberry baked oatmeal
S Satay prawn stir fry
L Choc protein cake
S 2 hardboiled eggs
D Pumpkin soup with bacon
Exercise NONE!

That sounds pretty good. Of course chicken broth with bacon is pretty good, it's kind of a magic ingredient that way.
Those HIIT sessions are probably the ones that are going to be the chores. They're designed to be. You know you've worked out once you're done with those.
Great job on the perfect food days. I've been doing pretty well with those this week too.
