OK so that last 5 days have been red flags days... My husbands bday was
on Friday, mine was on Monday and my oldest sons bday is today, where we
are having 6 boys for a sleep-over party - not sure how much sleep is
going to be happening!... (and all this is just one week before Xmas!)
So how have I gone...
On Friday Matt turned 39! But luckily the meal he wanted for his bday
dinner was a curry - so I made the
I-cant-believe-it's-not-butter-chicken recipe and I only had a weeny
slice of the pavalova (with strawberries and Chantilly cream) but I
saved my snacks as I knew this was coming and I stayed under the 1200
Cals
Saturday was Softball so I burned lots of cals and stuck to the 1200
Sunday was AWESOME!!! I did all the Xmas shopping in the morning (had a
JingleBerry smoothie from Boost for breakfast - it was very yummy) and
rushed home ate a wrap for lunch and went for a massive hike with 6
other 12wbt'er for our mini milestone challenge. It was awesome. Not
only was it awesome to meet everyone that I have been chatting with over
Facebook but it was a really tough hike up the mountain at Morialta
Falls Conservation Park.
We started with the steep incline and to me it felt like we were going
straight up... Boy was I out of breath by the first stop. Although once
the initial climb was out of the way (about 30 mins) it was a very
gradual decline from there, except at the end where it was a steep
decline, made even steeper by my back side as I slid to a spectacular
halt, grazing the side of my leg and bruising my behind. But if you
know me, you know that I am totally uncoordinated and I had expected to
fall more than just the once - I was incredibly thankful I didn't fall
off the edge.
I was fine the next day, except for my knee again. It was already a bit
sore from softball but I think the mountain hike made it worse. So I
have been dosing up on Wild Krill oil which is doing the trick.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to exercise since the hike, but I
think I can fit one in on Friday morning - I am sure my knee will be ok
and if not I will strap it and do it anyway.
Which brings us to Monday - my birthday!
It was a pretty boring day actually - although I did take the kids out
to breakfast at Virginia Nursery - it has a restaurant too - and I had
eggs benedict (450 cals) but I wasn't hungry at lunch time and had a
snack instead so I was back to level with the cals. I also wasn't sure
if Matt was getting cake (even though I asked him not to) so I saved my
snacks.
As it turned out I didn't get a cake so I had 1 1/2 servings of my Snags
(my requested meal) and a skinny cow ice cream sandwich for dessert.
I think my family may have cottoned onto the idea that I am on a diet
program, usually for my gifts I get fancy chocolates, taken out to
dinner, etc etc. This year I got a yoga mat, a MB water bottle, a Rebel
Sport voucher, and cash!! (oh and a bee-keeping magazine subscription)
Yesterday was an exhausting day of preparing for my oldest sons bday
party (which is today) we are having 6 boys sleeping over - yikes! So
my house if filled with chips and lollies... but hopefully not for too
long. For dinner they are having hot dogs (which I cant eat due to them
being filled with MSG) so Matt and I are going to be having the Kangaroo
Larb again. To combat the looly craving I am sure to have I have made a
JUMBO fruit salad filled with summer fruits and berries - YUMMM!
However yesterday I was supposed to be helping in a soup kitchen but as I
never got a phone call back I was told I wouldn't be needed (well she
said she'd call me if I was needed) I was a bit disappointed but hey at
least now my house is clean!
So this week I lost 500gms... which I am not too unhappy with as I am
very constipated at the moment... well I was before weigh-in - thanks to
some Senekot I took last night I am no longer 'bunged up' as Matt so
lovingly calls it...
Anyway I must be off - I have a cake to decorate and water pistols to name...(don't ask!)
Please let me know how you all went with your weigh-ins!!
