Lucy's Fit Life (Contains large amounts of nut butter and coffee)

Yay, had a good day today. Food wasn't as planned but I had a 780 cal deficit and got in my workout plus I swam (lazily) for 30mins this evening with Wade. So for the challenge, I earned 2 exercise points (2x 30min exercise blocks) and I'll just say 2 water points, I know I drank more than 2L but don't think I made 3.

Food plan for tomorrow

B- 4 homemade protein waffles with 2 tbsp butter
S- Homemade baked ricotta cheesecake slice
L- Leftover burger on a homemade almond meal roll with cheese, tomato, lettuce and mustard
S- 2 hardboiled eggs
D- 150g roast beef, broccoli and gravy

Exercise- 10min walk, 10mins boxing, 50mins strength training (day 2 = back and bis)

Total calories: 1675 Total deficit: 1005
Deficit average for the challenge: 892.5

Had a really full on day today and didn't end up watching cals as closely as I'd planned, ended up having a couple extra pieces of cheesecake on top of what was planned so deficit today was only 152cals. Not worried, plan on making it up in the next few days!! Going to get the deficit average I want for the week! Had a crazy amount of exercise, this morning I boxed for 10 mins followed straight away by a 15min walk, then after lunch I did my strength workout with my physio exercises which ended up being 50mins worth, then this afternoon I spent about an hour in the pool. Was mostly lazy but I reckon about 20mins worth of that was actual swimming. So... for the challenge, 3 exercise points plus 2 water points. YEW! Also have a new recipe drawn up for a cheesecake slice, going to slightly modify what I did with the one I'm eating at the moment... If it's good (which I'm pretty sure it will be) that'll be awesome cuz it'll only be 160cals per decent sized slice. Really need to stop being lazy and get a new recipe up on my page! As soon as I get my cheesecake right I'll be working on a waffle recipe, I've tried a few and just haven't found one I like. So... will make my own!

Food plan for tomorrow

B- Ice-cream made from almond meal, flax, protein powder, cocoa powder, 1 tbsp natvia with 2 protein waffles
S- Last piece of cheesecake
L- Almond meal roll toasted and topped with tomato paste, chicken, mozzarella and onion
S- 2 hard boiled eggs
D- Leftover roast beef and broccoli in gravy

Exercise- 10min walk, strength training day 3 (chest and tris)

Total calories: 1651 Total deficit: 982
Deficit average for the challenge: 638
 
Thanks Mands, I seem to be getting my head in the right space again!!

Already done all my exercise today, was pretty rough and I just wanted to get it out of the way. Might be swimming later as well, will see! Food is going well so far, so going to get my deficit this week!! Will be going out later to post a heap of parcels (just sold a heap of stuff on Ebay) and rest of the day just chilling out. Ash and Wade both have the day off so I'm not on my own for once!! Really hoping my Bodymedia comes today! Also I ordered some PB2- not to eat as PB but as a way to flavour shakes/cheesecake as PB without all the extra cals, kinda like just adding cocoa powder. Just found a place that sells peanut flour though, kicking myself as I should've just grabbed that! Will get some anyway, sooo much cheaper. Mocked up a waffle recipe too, going to try it in a few days as I just have to grab some ingredients.

Food plan for tomorrow

B- 2 protein waffles with homemade choc ice-cream (same as yesterdays)
S- 40g mixed nuts
L- Homemade almond meal roll, halved and toasted, spread with tomato paste, onion, chicken and mozzarella
S- Homemade crackers with 1/2 avocado
D- 2 sausages, broccoli

Exercise- 10mins HIIT boxing, strength training day 4 (delts, bis and tris)

Total calories: 1655 Total deficit: 1004
Calorie deficit average for the challenge: 746.5 (woohoo, back over where I need it!)
 
Great Job Lucy!!!

Do you do that boxing on your own...it seem like something I would like to try but the only one around when I do my workout if my 4ys old boy don't think that would work out to well for him! Keep up the great workouts!!!
 
Hey Lucy! Yay good job! You're doing awesome! It always confuses the hell out of me though when you're talking about swimming and I'm watching the snow fall :confused: lol then I have to remind myself. Oh, I love PB2.. I put in with some almond milk, cacao powder, vanilla, and chia seeds and let it sit up for a minute and it's sooo good! Peanut butter chocolate pudding! :beating: I'm anxiously awaiting your cheesecake recipe, so.. get on it! ;)
 
Hey Mystic- SO couldn't get by without my strength training!!! Keeps me sane haha. Even when my eating turns terrible I still get my strength training in!

Vero- I usually box with Wade (sometimes with Ash), I have gloves and hook/jab pads so they just stand there and I tell them what I want to do. I do have a boxing bag but nowhere to hang it, however it's pretty tall so if I want to box by myself it still kind of works. Boxing is awesome fun, pretty hard!! I'd suggest having someone show you proper form at least once though, too easy to injure shoulders/hands when you're not 100% sure how you're supposed to hit.

Sparked- Made the yummiest cheesecake the other day!! The base was awesome! Just wanting to tweak it a bit so it looks like bigger slices but with way less calories. Shopping is getting done today so I'll be on it tomorrow! I kinda got in the habit of making cheesecakes as every fortnight or so Wade and Ash get a couple of days off at the same time so we have a big roast dinner and I make them dessert, and so I don't miss out I make myself a low carb and gluten free version of whatever they're having. Crazy the amount of calories in a regular cheesecake, I made them a choc mint one a couple of weeks ago that was 1100 cals a slice!!! The version I made myself was in a bowl- my one serve about twice the size of one slice- and only around 400cals. Was only that much because made a choc topping for it, just the cheesecake on it's own was around 200.

Actually haven't tried PB2 yet, only because it had a bit of sugar in it... went and decided to buy it, then discovered I could get much bigger quantities of peanut flour as is from Iherb- super cheap too- which is the same thing, and I can just add my own salt/sweetener. My PB2 is coming today anyway so can see how I like it, I can already think of half a million uses for it haha!!
 
Just did my workout, my arms/ shoulders were already so sore from yesterday. Can already tell that when I get around to boxing this arvo with Wade it's going to suck. Oh well, usually it's only the first few mins that seem impossible then I get into it and I'm fine!! Arhg, just hanging out for my rest days! Got to get through tomorrows workout and I'm there, my poor body is feeling pretty destroyed this week.

Calories ended up being higher than planned yesterday but all is good, still going to get where I want this week. Hoping to see a good loss on the scale come Saturday!!

Also sold a heap of stuff on Ebay today so going to order a few things to play with in the kitchen- a lot of different natural flavours (for cheesecakes/ puddings), a few take along snacks for when we move in a few months (for the car journey) and a few other bits n pieces that I wouldn't normally spend money on. I'm excited!

I'm all set for Easter as well, having a big dinner with Wade and Ash on good Friday (I'm making fish, veges, roast potatoes, and I think steaks? Also making the boys cheesecake brownies so will figure out what I am making for my own dessert). Also giving Easter choccies to each other then as they work all through Easter. I've just told them if they have to buy me chocolate give me the sugar free Well Naturally brand bars they sell at the supermarket lol. I use them in baking a fair bit and they're awesome! Also they aren't that sweet so if I just eat one they don't trigger cravings or anything.

Food plan for tomorrow

B- 2 eggs cooked in butter with 1/2 avocado and a toasted almond meal roll
S- 40g mixed nuts
L- 2 leftover sausages and 1 cup broccoli
S- 2 hard boiled eggs
D- Chicken breast, butterflied and rolled up with pesto and feta, roasted and served with green beans

Exercise- Strength training day 5- full body circuit

Total calories: 1609 Total deficit: 933
Calorie deficit average for the challenge: 687

Good stuff that you sold so many items on ebay...still have to deal with that!!

Your Easter feast sounds great! Yum! Your desserts always sound deelish too!!

Keep up the good work!
 
Wow your food is great I am wanting to try this Chicken breast, butterflied and rolled up with pesto and feta, roasted and served with green beans

As for the boxing I may take a few weeks of kick boxing in the fall until then I guess I am gonna keep going at it on the threadmill

Good job on selling your unused stuff I am gonna have to start doing this with the baby stuff I am no longer using!
 
Well... I'm back!

Wade and myself just finished our 2 week road trip across Australia. We arrived on the Gold Coast a week ago exactly (mon) and had found and signed papers for a rental place by Wed. So we are moved in! Wade started his job today (he transferred) and I am desperately job searching. Unfortunately a few days into our trip my laptop packed it in so I had to post it back to my husband, he's fixed it but the LCD in the screen is cracked and he's not sending it back till he's replaced the panel in it. So applying for jobs on my phone has been ridiculous, not to mention my resume and everything else was on my computer! Husband printed a heap off for me and posted them Fri via express so hoping to get them either today or tomorrow. (I'm typing all this on my phone, sorry for any typos)

Weight-wise I'm doing terribly, weighed in this morning at 73.4kgs. I've just started a hand written food diary and as soon as I have a job a gym membership and PT are my biggest priorities! I'm walking distance from 2 gyms where we are living so I won't have any excuses. Also as I'm jobless Wade is buying food for the both of us (which I feel awful about) so I'm buying as little as I can and making sure I don't waste any of it!

Food today
b Homemade protein bar (made with stuff I brought with me from home), decaf coffee with 1 tbsp cream
s Decaf coffee with cream
l 3 eggs cooked in butter, 1/2 avocado
s 1/2 a chicken breast
d homemade pumpkin/vege soup
s 1egg, 30g cheese

Total cals come in at around 1570. Trying hard to bump it up with butter/cream so we don't have to spend too much on other things!

Exercise today, I have to walk to the shop cuz I decided to try out our new washing machine today and realised we have no pegs. So that's my misson! Going to walk to the more distant place so it'll be around a 40min round trip, might chuck in some squats/push ups/other when I get home. Just do a quick circuit and some stretches.

One last thing... Husband won't be over here as soon as we thought, he has to stay an extra few weeks after his contract. Long story short... I won't see him for around 2 months still and already haven't seen him for 3 weeks. Its a lot harder than I thought it would be!
