Are you able to get figs or dates easily in australia?
For 2 figs its about 110 calories and packed with fiber, 5 grams.
They're delicious, I love them anyway. Great for getting more fiber in your diet.
You're gorgeous! Have you thought about starting a before and after/or inbetween journal? What's your goal weight? Thank you also for taking the time to comment on mine. We're the same height too.
Hey Spark, thanks for visiting my journal

It means a lot because you're such a great inspiration to me.
I'm not really a great fan of figs, but I LOVE dates!! I love them on their own, or they are great for sweetening stuff that I bake. Mmmm I put some in those protein bars I made yesterday (which taste AMAZING)
I don't really want to start a before/inbetween/after thread until I have some inbetween photos... hopefully in a few weeks I will!! Then I will for sure!! Oh and my weight goal is 60kg, or 132lbs.
Well everyone, my day is off to a flying start already... worked 5-8, walked the 30mins home, then dragged my bike down the 4 flights of stairs and went on a hellish 1hr bike ride uphill and against the wind. I thought I was going to die haha. Big sense of accomplishment when I got home... (and carried my 18kg bike back up the 4 flights of stairs without falling down... my legs were shaking and I'm SO sore from gym yesterday!) Anyhoo, I'm thoroughly pooped now!!
Exercise for the day= DONE!!
Food for the day:
75g sultana bran with skim milk
Lite raspberry jelly with low fat Greek yogurt
2 homemade coconut oil chocolates
Homemade protein bar*
2 slices of Burgen rye with 2 eggs and 2 beef chevups
4 vita weats with 100g low fat cottage cheese
Lite rye Sorj wrap with vegetarian chicken burger, 1 slice of cheese and a tomato
Total cals: 1925
*My homemade protein bars taste incredible!!! They taste like chocolate rumballs... and Christmas... only better lol. If anyone is interested this is the recipe I used:
I didn't use choc chips, and I put 4 scoops of choc coconut flavoured protein whey powder in them. YUM YUM YUM!!! Cut them into 12, and I worked out the calories on Fitday... the breakdown is:
Cals 295, Fat 16g, Carb 27g, Prot 12g, Fiber 2g.
I just feel better about eating them because I know there's nothing nasty in them... whereas any I've looked at in a store have hundreds of ingredients I can't even pronounce.
Anyhoo... I'm all sweaty and dripping all over my poor couch so I think I'll shower and come back to read diaries a bit later. Happy Thursday everyone!
