Update
I've decided to resurrect my blog as I really miss it. It helps me reflect and clarify my goals and values and to appreciate all the good things in my life.
Over the last few months (at least 6) I've completely lost my mojo. I've put on weight, had several injuries, been stressed out with uni work and paid work and feel like I've lost perspective on what is really important to me. So I'm making an effort to pull myself together.
12WBT
I signed up for the Michelle Bridge's 12 Week Body Transformation (with the support of my MIL who also wants to loose a few kilos and is a whizz in the kitchen). I'm on day 6 and its been great but very tough. I'm on a 1200 calorie plan and exercise 6 days a week. Sometimes we eat the recipes in the plan and sometimes I eat whatever as long as I track the calorie content. Here's a sample of this weeks meals and snacks.
 |
| Cauliflower and chickpea patties with salad |
 |
| Stir fry beef and greens |
 |
| Chicken, mushroom and salad toasted wrap |
 |
| Ryvita, ricotta cheese, honey and chopped almond |
Today I did my first parkrun in a LONG time. 5km of hell. Now my hip is just letting me know its there and I'm a bit scared about that.
But I've been sticking to 1200 calories (though I do have a high tea treat coming up :)). I have to eat 3 meals plus 3 snacks a day so its really forcing me to chose super healthy and light foods. I can't believe I haven't had chocolate in 6 days!!! Honestly, it was becoming a problem. I was eating a BLOCK of chocolate a day plus other sweet treats.
Autism
Well I'm very ashamed that I've put the boys' goals on the back burner while I unsuccessfully try and keep work and study going. I need to change this for their sake. They are beautiful boys who deserve a maximum chance of living successful and independent lives in the future. Tomorrow we are going on a much needed break and I just want to have FUN with them. Then we are going to get back to progress. Meanwhile bring on a much-needed break
Its good to be back!
