A day in the life...

We are a week into my healthy eating plan. So far I am feeling much better. I have cut a majority of sugars, but added back a bit of chocolate. I was just grumpy without.

So a day in my life: Food

Breakfast- Chobani and green tea (Chobani is new to Perth and I am in LOVE)

Morning snack- dried apricots

Late morning snack- plum

Lunch- sashimi, miso soup, Japanese salad (one bite of rice!)

Afternoon snack- apple with laughing cow cheese

Mid afternoon snack- Luna protein bar

Late afternoon snack- 100 calorie pretzel pack (I can't live without pretzels)

Dinner- garden salad with Greek yogurt/ranch dressing and ranch chicken breast

Dessert- chocolate covered goji berries and chai tea

Calories consumed: 1371 according to myfitnesspal app.

I eat a lot. Small meals every 2-3 hours today was more sugar than I would have liked. Tomorrow I will be strict!

I drank 3.5 liters of water, about 120 ounces. Yay hydration!

A day in the life: Workout

I walked about 20 minutes through the city for work.

Then I went to the beach and did Pilates. I usually do a beach walk before, but work ran late.

A day in the life: Work

Umm it's work. I found out my raise. Don't get excited.

A day in the life: Personal

One thing that sucks. Being in the city and my boyfriend is at the farm. With no cell phone service. Working at all hours. Can't call him because I might wake him up. He doesn't get texts. It sucks. It makes me miss him. He's busy, I know. But I have days when it is so blasé and I want to talk to him. He is my person. The rest of the people I love and can cry to are usually asleep by the time a day has become a bad day.

Strudel is officially okayed to live with me! I am booking her flights! Jono doesn't understand that Strudel is going to be my little miniature transportable love bug that cheers me up at the drop of a hat. He thinks it's a waste of money to bring her here. I don't think he gets how good it will be for me. I am unbelievably excited.

So I'm taking the good with the bad, and remembering I will be home (texas? Im a person with two homes and my heart belongs to each place. Its hard) in a mere 8 days. Yeah buddy. I planned a trip to Fredericksburg today. We are wine tasting and maybe hiking along with some brewery tours. Awesome. I'll give more details on the trip in the future.

I talked to dad and rach and one of my besties! This always makes my day. I love my peoples.

So that's a day in the life of me!

Thank you. Love you all! And goodnight.

Mission Accomplished.

Remember my last post? I set out a list of things I wanted to accomplish today. So far so good!

I did something like 7 loads of laundry! I organized our entire closet. Winner. I made a lovely healthy lunch. An awesome stirfry for dinner. Just finished the hardest workout ever.

I'll tell you about my workout. It only lasted 32 minutes, but that was enough.

2 sets of:
20 walking lunges
20 tricep dips
20 sumo squats
20 calf raises
20 standing rows
20 push ups from ball
20 deadlift lunge combos

2 sets of:
20 bicep curls
20 squats
20 pelvic lifts
20 chest press
20 hamstring curls
1 minute plank
50 bicycle curls

It took around 7 minutes a set. Then I finishes with a 4 minute cool down of stretches.

Why was this so hard? I haven't worked out in AGES. Well no weights/strength in about 10 days. You lose fitness so quickly. I also had muscle cramps on my lunges which made it all the more painful!

But it's done, 300 calories burned! I always seem to forget to turn my HR monitor on until one set is finished! I am glad I did it, getting back on track one step at a time.

And more good news, it's 8:30pm and I have no sign of a sugar headache. Awesome!

I'm still loading with Vitamin C, I haven't kicked the flu yet. Hopefully this light workout doesn't do me in.

Until next time my friends!

Love you all!
