It’s Monday. I had a great restful weekend. Food was on plan with the exception of dinner last night which started out as grilled burgers with veg but the burgers fell apart on the grill and became a bloody mess, so we ended up having leftover roast chicken which turned into sandwiches (white bread for [...]
Today’s food looks like:-
Breakfast - Green shake - 2 big handfuls spinach, 1 medium banana, 1 inch piece of root ginger, 10 mint leaves, handful parsley sprigs, 1 cup water. The ginger and parsley were a different addition to my usual smoothie and gave it a good flavour, although the ginger was very strong and [...]

We went out to dinner last night at PF Changs. I stuck mostly to my plan and had steamed shrimp dumplings for starter then kung pao chicken for my main. Husband got 2 spring rolls as his starter and I ate one of those, he also got pepper steak as his main which I ate [...]
I’m so glad it’s Friday. Tomorrow and Sunday I plan on sleeping in, no getting up at 5.15 am for me. Today’s gym workout was 30 minutes interval on elliptical then 10 minutes walking at 3.5mph on the treadmill. My stomach was still feeling a bit iffy this morning but I’ve just eaten a boiled [...]
I didn’t have the best workout at the gym this morning. My weights ran over and left me no time for cardio. I’m putting this down to the fact that I am coming back to the routine and I haven’t done it in months so I’m having to re-learn each move, thus I am slower [...]
I have blisters on the heels of both feet. I think I either need to buy new training shoes or new training socks. Or maybe both. Whatever, it will have to wait until next week and until then I will have to band-aid up and soldier on.
It was a gentle session at the gym this [...]
I’m trying to wean myself of powdered coffee creamer. I’ve decided it’s basically poison concealed as a tasty beverage creamer. I came to this conclusion after reading the long list of ingredients one night. At work, we carry creamer for our coffee so this morning I made another choice and another change in my lifestyle [...]

I went back to the gym this morning. The renovation work has finished on the women’s changing rooms yippee! The new changing rooms look really nice they have totally redone the showers with new tile and repainted. It was worth the wait. The men’s changing rooms are now closed for their renovation bwuahaha!
I wanted today’s [...]
I’m still here. I haven’t been blogging because there really hasn’t been much to blog about. Eating hasn’t been great, exercise has been nil, the counselling is going well even though I’m addressing issues that I need to address but are difficult to do so. Home life has not been great.
My gym should be done [...]
