Day 148 - lunch out

Bee coz I....had lunch out with three of my favorite girls today I had already decided to find something on the menu that was a healthier but yum option.

I believe now that I have blown my first goal out of the water that I have to occasionally challenge myself to have a treat and deal with it.

So this was it, prawn and beef singa noodles with loads of veggies. It was delish and not to heavy in my stomach. How did I deal with it? Went for a 4k run. I also did Zumba before I went and had a diet shake for dinner so I consider that dealt with.

What an enjoyable day - bee x x

Bfast: branflakes
Lunch: see above
Dinner: diet shake

Day 147 - fajita's

Be coz I....have finally grown some lettuce, something I have tried before many times and failed, I made fajita's for dinner, I literally picked the lettuce as I was plating up and boy could you taste the difference.
The rest of the day was spent doing the usual, Zumba, house work, garden etc but then in the arvo I caught up with a friend and went swimming, had a spa and later caught up with some other friends, over all I give the day a 10 out of 10 :) Bee
Bfast: diet shake
Lunch: horrid! Lean cuisine spinach cannelloni ( I hate pre packaged food, except beans and also diet shakes)
Dinner:very nice fajita's with ww. Light sour cream and only the tiniest bit if cheese, but lots of lettuce, spinach, tomato and capsicum, followed by a ww. Diet dessert

Day 146 - I love my job!

Bee coz I.... Had a statewide meeting on today, I drove 2 hrs 15 mins to work today. Had a great meeting which included lunch, the venue was a winery by a river (a very swollen river) and then I went for a walk.

After another afternoon session it was time to head home, well to the pool to run fun relays for the kids. I made it in time and we had a fantastic night.

So after 4 1/2 hrs of driving, 6 1/2 hours of meetings, 2 1/2 hrs of walking up and down a 50 m pool (good for the step challenge) it was home to bed!

Bee

Bfast:fruit and 1/4 of a small muffin (too sweet - I forgot my Bfast)

Dinner: avo on toast(it was late!)

Day 145 - missing this little monkey

Bee coz I live in melb. and my family live in Tasmania I don't see the lots but we have a great time when we do. On the Sunday before last I got to skype Alex my little nephew, he is so smart for his age and way too cute, I can't wait to see him in march. It's only two weeks till I see them all again. Can't wait.

Zumba was ace as usual but I was ready for an early night!

Bee

Bfast: branflakes
Lunch: brown rice with tuna and veggies, yoghurt and fruit.
Dinner: avocado on toast diet dessert and veggie juice.

Day 144 - who put that brick wall there?

Be coz I....was at training all day I didn't eat as much as I usually do on a Wednesday.

So a few minutes into boxing I was getting very light headed and had to stop a couple of times because I thought I was going to hit the deck! It was like I had hit a brick wall.

I did most of the training and enjoyed it but felt like I had taken dizzy drugs. My mate Amanda was good, she can keep up with the men in training she packs a punch and was looking after me by telling me to breath. I must have been a deep water diver in a previous life because I can hold my breath for ages without knowing I am doing it.

Went and did my 4km walk with Jane after boxing and felt much better for it.

Got my blood sugar levels checked at chemist on way home and it was very low so back to eating lollies when I have a dizzy spell. I also had a bit of fluid on my ears and a blocked nose so I looks like it was a combo of it all.

Was feeling much better one it was bed time.
Bee
Bfast: grain bar (running late for training)
Lunch 11/2 sandwiches
Dinner: nuts and fruit and a glass of milk - I know it was not enough food chris lol xx

Subject: Day
Bee coz I....keep having to get up to stop the dog barking at possums 16 days in a row now except one when he didn't bark between 11pm and 6.30 am I am ready to kill! Well not really but I am getting tired of it. I have tried long walks, yelling, calming, over feeding (well that makes me tired) and leaving the Tv on but it's not working. Might have to move the possums on!

In other less boring news (matter of opinion) did some interval training after work today and then did deep water aerobics! Boxing tomorrow can't wait - funny how you can look forward to something that nearly kills you and causes so much pain! Bring it on I say!

-bee

Bfast: brankflakes -still loving them!
Lunch:chicken vermacheli and fruit
Dinner: pita with pumpkin spread and a banana.

Day 142 - a hit of juice

Bee coz I....felt like it I sipped a juice through out the day today at work it's mostly beetroot juice so it's not to sweet. It really upped my energy levels throughout the day, which is good as Zumba was hard tonight, we have a new song and it's quite physical - just what I like.

It's chilly in melb so I hunted out my pj's but they were way to big so I ended up digging out my old thermals and I went to bed looking a treat!

That's all folks, - Bee

Bfast: honey and almond branflakes
Lunch: soup and pita bread, nuts and fruit.
Dinner: soy and linsead with a thin layer of mersey valley spreadable.

Rod and Tracy brought pizza around for dinner and I had one and a bit small slices which equaled one slice and I picked half the topping off! It was delish but very filling. Hard to believe now that I used to be able to eat 4 normal slices.

Bee coz I....moved my poor effort rhubarb into my grans nice big pot that my mum didn't take to Tassie as it was a bit big, my rhubarb has come to life! It's the third home that this rhubarb has lived in, ask my friend Gee as he is the one that has insisted on bringing a bit with me every move. Well Gee I'm glad you did because it's found a good spot now :) although we will be moving again after winter then that's it I'm not moving again!

Great day today at work followed by team manager duty at the pool, fun night I love catching up with the kids!

Last night I downloaded a yucky virus which stopped me going on the net, i only had skype and msn, but my very clever brother fixed it from Tassie he sent me a file which let him look at me computer and control it! How amazing is that! He worked some magic then we crossed our fingers and held our breath as he restored the computers memory to a few days ago! It worked! Thanks bro x x

It was by far the most cardio intense workout I have ever done, it was the best but man was I spent by the end of it! Not to mention drenched and you know it's going to hurt when you have to sit in the car for 5 mins before you can lift your arms to the steering wheel!

Came home showered then rubbed my magic Chinese liniment all over then slept like a log but had a dream I was eating noodles!

In other news I had the arvo off work as my bro snuck into melb yesterday with out telling any one and surprised us lucky I had done all the housework!

As he has lots of mates in melb he kept it quiet as he was only here for one night and he would have been rushed off his feet. Bonus for us as we got to hog him. We had a good arvo and had dinner out I has a small noodle box and could not quite finish it. It was delish I could taste all the calories. I missed zumba but did 4.2km jog when I got home.

Tonight we had a laugh because my bro, dad and I kicked in money and got mum a laptop for her birthday, Ian skyped me on the laptop and and pretended he needed to mum to try out the head phones he was using (mum is deaf) so she put them on and chatted to me while the cranked up the volume for her, then I sang happy birthday and she's said it's not until tomorrow, then ian said it's your birthday present and she thought he was talking about the head phones!

What did i do to celebrate? went for a jog!  

I had a slower start to the jog than usual as there was junk on the track from all the flooding, i had to run across the road in stead of going under it as the pass was full of mud! it was a nice jog as it was much cooler than the last few weeks.

I took a few pics on the run to. I also tried out my new running top, it has a pocket for my ipod, and worked very well - not bad for $15 from Kmart.

Then it was back home to get breakfast and chilax for an hour before i headed off to pump and Balance.

This arvo i am making soup for tomorrow and i might watch a dvd.

Thanks for your support and comments over the last few months they have really helped to keep me on track - Bee x x

They are saying the rain will ease tomorrow, I hope so for everyone to have a chance to clean it all up, and so I can get a run in!

Rod Tracy and Jorja are all away racing this weekend, fingers crossed Rod does well and his car goes ok!

It's the weakest point of the house!
