Good luck!
They would be a sensible thing to farm here because they do less damage to the land than the introduced animals we do farm. I think it will come.

Randy - Whopper Roos does have a catchy ring to it. 98% fat free!!
sleepless - It sounds like game tends to be lean in general. I wonder if kangaroos would get fat on a farm? It would have to be a big farm though, or have very tall fences...
Cerella - I have tried a few different types of meat, nothing really out there. Well I suppose that's a matter of opinion.
Hunting exotic foods and recipes from different places was quite a fun thing for me at one stage. Kids seem to take the fun out of that a bit - first they make you nauseous, then they won't eat adventurously, and they tend to limit your chances to travel and find new foods too. I never quite got back the taste for curry that I once had. Actually I shouldn't complain, there is so much more variety here than there once was. I suppose that's the same in most western countries, but I'm guessing. There's such a lot of possibilities - I ate celeriac for the first time last year. With the laziness in me coming out, I prefer trying new foods to trying new recipes. Really fresh vegetables and fruit smell so wonderful though, they are somewhat inspiring.
Breakfast 7:30 1 slice wholemeal toast with minimal margarine and marmalade. Boiled egg.1 C coffee with 40 ml Hilo. 2 weetbix, 1/3 C diced peaches, C low fat soy milk.
Lunch: 1:30 2 slices wholemeal bread. ~100 gm low fat cottage cheese, a little grilled chicken, tomato.
Snack: 3:30 5 almonds, 1/2 Salada cracker, 1 C watermelon.
7:00 1 C tinned pumpkin soup. A few sugar snap peas.
Dinner: 9:30 50 gm grilled roo steak, 1 grilled chicken thigh with herbs, 1 smashed potato, lots of microwaved broccoli and carrots, a little instant gravy. 1 tub diet apricot yoghurt.
I was definitely more hungry today than normal. I was yesterday also. I think this is mainly due to the change in the weather. I want to be careful about it. I should think it's fine to eat a few more healthy items than I was, but I want to keep my mind in tune - not have rubbish food thoughts messing with me. Actually, now I think about it, it's probably making sure I have those healthy items that will stop the "improper" thoughts happening. I will be looking cook more warm food too, that should help.
Exercise: 8:00 1 hour jog on trampoline. Similar to the other night.
Having my own music definitely made it more pleasant! The time went a lot faster tonight. I was sometimes moving slower, sometimes faster (Walk of life definitely the most useful this time!!). I'm still feeling the impact in my arms as desired. I only did 2 sets off the trampoline this time. I improved the push ups a tich. 5 full ones with a whole 3" elbow movement. Actually just guessing the inches but it was better.
My first plans for a better skipping surface have been tested and failed. Mk 3 coming up.

Yeah I can see how kids make for a less exotic diet, but you are doing great. What do you do in a trampoline set anyway?

Hi Cannon and Skinny.
I am just using a mini-trampoline.
I bought it so that I would have a way to replace walking on the days when I don't make it out during the daylight. However as it's much kinder to my joints than ordinary ground I actually jog rather than walk. I do vary the speed, doing sprint patches at times, or getting my knees up - sometimes squats.
Also as I want to put more effort into my arms as well, I hold weights for most of the time. I move my arms just as for a run mostly but also do some deliberate exercises - bicep curls, triceps extensions, jabs, punches etc. I try to make these quite controlled despite the jogging.
I also got off the trampoline 2-3 times to do some half pushups and things.
Breakfast 8:30 1 slice wholemeal toast with minimal margarine and marmalade. Boiled egg.1 C coffee with 40 ml Hilo. 2 weetbix, 1/3 C diced peaches, C low fat soy milk.
Lunch: 1:30 2 wholemeal Salada crackers. ~100 gm low fat cottage cheese, tomato.
Snack: 3:30 12 almonds, skim milk cappuccino.
Dinner: 7:00 Thai green chicken curry (~180 gm lean chicken thighs, zucchini, bamboo shoots, green curry paste, fish sauce, coconut milk. Sauce drained. )3/4 C boiled basmati rice.
Exercise: 2:30 700 steps up the DNA tower. Cut short when my daughter's friend trod on a bee. The tower was busy today, probably because ANZAC Day attracts people to the park. It's harder to walk up the steps if anyone is in the way though. I find after half way my legs start to hurt (anaerobic ?) then if I have to stop or slow down at all I get the can't-do-it-at-all-any-more feeling (not true- just feels like that).
5:40 2.5 miles local walk. (Cut short when I found a push bike in the wrong place!)
Cappuccino
I have managed to make myself generally disinterested in chocolate, despite this having been my number one food temptation and failing for pretty much my whole life. When I see it I let my eyes slide off it, and at the least chance I repeat that it is disgusting and imagine the disgust I felt when I last ate it, and think that it's something to make me sick and breathless and guilt ridden. The emergency no-deprivation, Easter egg I bought myself is still in the fridge, unhankered after. One day several weeks ago, I was at a small shopping centre and my daughter gasped and pointed behind me in excitement. I turned and saw that a confectionary store had its entrance full of a chocolate and Easter egg display - my instant feeling was of distaste.
What a con job I have done on myself! It's not working 100% though. At the amusement park we went to on Sunday I had a take away cappuccino. I have always had it in mind that if I am out that is an allowable treat and an acceptable way to participate when other people are buying food. I finished the coffee then suddenly noticed I was licking the lid - thoroughly cleaning every little bit of sugary chocolate off!! I didn't stop after I noticed what I was doing either!! So I would say the physical love of chocolate is certainly still there! I am tricking one part of my body but my taste buds are NOT convinced.
Today the bee sting led to our step climbing activities being converted to a coffee shop visit in the Subiaco cappuccino strip. The whole street was pretty much full of great smells and the shop was full of fancy cakes and chocolates and the smell of bread and toast. It did get to me a bit - but fortunately I felt hungry after the stair climb and had a biggish serve of almonds which I had enjoyed, before I got to the shop. It was still a bit interesting though. I did consider if this was a time when it was ok to go off plan. I didn't think so because it would have been so impulsive. My habit now is not to do that - a helpful habit. I doubt if it would make much difference to my weight loss next Saturday, to pop in an out of the plan like that, but I do think it would mess with my mind and my ability to just keep eating well without much stress.
Anyway, I got my "skinny" cappuccino and sipped it a little, leaving most of my chocolate intact. It was unevenly sprinkled, making something of a line across the middle of the cup. Then my son rang me and as the shop was noisy, I walked outside to take the call. By the time I returned most of the chocolate was gone. Strange I thought. I would have it expected it to take more time than that to fall through the foam... which is somewhat dented through the middle... I spy the felicigirl! What an evil child I have spawned!! A chocolate foam thief!! Well I actually thought it was kind of funny! It's something I never would have made a fuss about - but this time I was conscious that I didn't even care - and that once I would have.
That has to be because of two reasons I reckon. One is that the "I hate chocolate con" is still working fairly well, despite the fact that I would have just laughed at anyone who had told me a year ago that it was possible to do this to myself. The other is that I don't feel deprived. I don't have the sense that I am entitled to much more than I am currently getting from my life and should be entitled to something more than I have - eg at least getting all the foam on my coffee to myself!
I wonder how I will cope when things are more difficult and I am feeling stressed. I hope I would think that after all I have done to lose weight and to make myself feel happier and more capable of being active, I can maintain an attitude that eating food which might harm me and make me miserable would be a way of punishing myself, rather than a way of rewarding myself. Hopefully publishing this now will help make that happen.

Felici, I love chocolate, too. If it's in the house -- well, it disappears mysteriously in about an hour.
What I do now is treat myself once a week to a bar of very dark chocolate that comes to around 200 calories. That seems to satisfy my craving pretty well. And dark chocolate is actually very good for you.

Chocolate is so BAD for you! Ugh! *shudder*
I tell you what; it must be prevented from unleashing it's toxicity upon your gentle and loving family! Send it to me. I will... dispose of it for you, at great personal risk to my own life and limb, it shall be gotten rid of.
Yeah, I'm feeling the need this week
I have a small box of Charleston Chew minis in my freezer, they are pretty darn bad, too.
I could actually taste the chocolatey yum from your lid when I read it...

Thank you Qjay. I absolutely agree. I should just have bought 2 cups from the time the child was born and be done with it. This tradition of sharing needs to be stamped out!!Did someone mention chocolate???
Felici, there comes a time when you just have to put your foot down - you ARE entitled to all the foam on your coffee
Hope you have a good day!
Well my feeling is that this is not done with yet. However, I am very pleased with my progress at least.I really enjoyed the cappuchino post! It made me laugh and it made me think...You are doing great in the area of controll and that is very inspiring!

I just did my first day of work for 3 weeks. The children were lovely and so is the environment, so I was surprised at how tired I felt by the end of the day. I think it must be the same as going back to work after the summer vacation - it sort of hits you at first. I did really feel that I had been off for a while - I had the "Do I still remember how?" feeling that I get after a time away. I have that group again tomorrow so I am looking forward to it. I can see that my exercise will be less intense on working days. Hopefully there is enough activity in this job to make up for it.
The Biggest Loser finale was on tonight. It's always good to see what they have achieved. Also I was glad to have a recap on their stair climbing challenge, which sort of started me off a few weeks ago. I had the vague idea they had climbed tens of thousands of steps. So however many I climbed I always thought I was just scratching the surface of what they had done. Tonight I found out they had done 1400 steps. So I was not as far behind their effort as I had thought.
I'm wondering about finding an office tower now.
