Day Twenty One

Food
Breakfast- half a jar of banana chia overnight oats and coffee. Oats are still doing great at keeping me full for a few hours! A can't eat a full jar as one serve like the recipe suggests, it's just too much.
Morning Tea- Small capp from Gloria Jeans on almond milk
Lunch- Halloumi bake

Afternoon Tea- Almond meal 90 second bread avocado cheese toasted sandwich (with nuttelex butter)
Dinner-Thai

Exercise
Rest day! Walked into town and back to do some chores, that's all.

It's cheat night tonight but last time I got really bloated with water weight so tonight I'm getting Thai as a cheat meal. Low carb! I'm thinking Massaman curry or thai beef salad. All my groceries are arriving today from Woolworths and Grower's Market, I'm excited to cook new recipes this week! I bought a silicon mould just for cheese cake bombs today. Nom nom nom.

EDIT- the thai tasted too sweet and made me feel quite ill

Day Twenty

Morning me should stop writing down what afternoon me will do, I didn't do any yoga last night. I did walk kiddo to and from the dr, though, so that's something. My new normal for my period is apparently two days of spotting with super sore huge boobs? It's been two months of that now. Also I'm under some stress right now waiting to see how my centrelink payments will change, I'm worried I'll go back to not being able to afford to eat well (believe me, it's a thing), or afford quality running shoes. Just waiting for the outcome, it's perilously close to Christmas so it's stressing me out. Thank Odin I have running as an escape instead of turning to food, right? Channel that energy elsewhere.

Food
Breakfast- Other half of the jar of banana chia overnight oats, sugarless coffee on full cream milk
Morning Tea- 1 lime ball
Lunch- Half a baked avocado with egg inside, other half of serving of sweet potato fries
Afternoon Tea- last 2 lime balls
Dinner- Halloumi Bake with a serve of 90 second bread. I'll DEFINITELY be making that halloumi bake again, it's amazing.
After dinner- two squares of 70% dark chocolate with handful of strawberries

Exercise
I ran. I ran so much. Interval running/walking/jogging around the school block and back around the other way, with a final jog across the park. 

Post exercise me rang TAFE and sorted out one thing that was bothering me. 
I really need to sit down tonight and list what I'll be eating this next week. I'll list the recipes I find here. Anyhoo I'll make some more overnight oats tonight for the next couple of days. It gives me an amazingly long-lasting energy boost to do all that I need to do, I'm loving them for brekky. I'm going to have to look up some after dinner/Netflix munchie recipes, too. You might have noticed that's something I do at night when the kids have gone to bed. 

Halloumi bake again (it's soooo good)
Another lot of lime balls
Overnight Oats (I have all the ingredients and know-how for those now)
Salad with cooked chicken, beef strips, or salmon to have for lunches 
Cheddar and Zucchini Muffins for snacks 
I want to try this Keto Chorizo Chilli  and this
Pork Egg Roll in a Bowl 

Right, that's the easy part. Now to work out what ingredients I need that I don't already have, make a list, check it's in the budget, and order it all! Keto is great but holy shit it takes a lot of prep from meal planning to cooking.

Gonna try these Lemon Cheesecakes, too

Day Nineteen

Food
Breakfast- Half a jar of banana chia seed overnight oats
Morning Tea- Had 3 of my freshly baked sweet potato fries, not really hungry otherwise.
Lunch- Baked egg in half an avocado with some parmesan and curry powder. I'm out of salad ingredients which is really annoying. Sweet potato fries
Afternoon Tea-1 lime ball
Dinner- Halloumi bake
Snack while watching Youtube and Netflix- Rest of my homemade flax crackers

I spent a good part of the morning meal prepping food for the next few days. Happy hump day and it's closer to cheat day day to me! Still having brownish spots today, sore boobs, tired, cranky as fuck. Been up for too long already at 11am, gonna be a long day. Thanks to breaking my toe last night (I think) I won't be running today. Might do some Yin Yoga tonight.

Note to future self- Afterpay some running bare tights and get a proper shoe fitting. Bought a phone armband for running today.

Day Eighteen

Food
Breakfast- Choco coco overnight oats
Morning Tea- 1 fried egg with two rashers of bacon at Kid's Crazy Maze. I just got the sandwich without the toast while my friends had other foods. It was a real world test. Cup of coffee on full cream milk
Lunch- Salad and veggie slice
Afternoon Tea- 2 lime balls, a couple of flax crackers and a small handful of blueberries. 1 square sugar free fruit and nut chocolate.
Dinner- Last of the beet noodles with a veggie chicken schnitzel, cheese, on toasted almond bread.

I got my period today, bloated, sore boobs, teary, bleeding. It's all a bit shit. Today I without thinking added the two little packets of sugar to my coffee and had to go get another coffee. Luckily my partner had the first one so I wasn't wasting it. I couldn't drink it, it was just WAY too sweet. My friend said it's just two teaspoons of sugar, just have it it won't hurt, but it's those little ways that sugar snuck in and took such a hold of my life and I won't willingly consume refined sugar now I've come this far. I just don't want it anymore. The cravings have gone.

Exercise

Day Seventeen

Food
Breakfast-Choco coco overnight oats and a sugar free coffee as normal, on full cream milk.
Morning Tea-2 x Lime balls and chilled passionfruit tea. Some of my flax crackers
Lunch- Veggie slice and salad
Afternoon Tea-1 square of fruit and nut chocolate and some flaxseed crackers.
Dinner-Other half of the beetroot noodles I made last night with Parmesan on top and some 90 second bread.
After Dinner-Some stir fried chilli celery I whipped up tonight to use up the celery bunch. It's SUPER spicy! But I don't want to waste it. It's in the fridge as a side for the next few days.

Exercise
Morning-me notes that I walked my kiddies to daycare, and then went to the dr, then home again. I'm thinking cardio this arvo. My blood tests were all perfect, by the way! Whoop! Doc says check back in in 12 months time for another blood check but other than that just keep doing what I'm doing. And I plan on it! Every little effort helps. Every decision to work out, every healthy meal I prepare for myself, every bottle of water. I've come too far to stop now, I'm so determined not to come undone. I like this control over myself.
Afternoon-me has sore knees and doesn't really feel like exercising. But afternoon me will do the 'workout when you can't be fucked' one in my book. I can't remember what I did exactly but I think I did
20x fly
20x soup tin press
10x side leg lifts
10 x side leg lifts with side squat
4x 10 second planks
30x crunches
12x crunch kicks
10x side crunches
20x side bends
10x rear leg lifts on each side

Day Sixteen

Today I tried my first overnight oats. Immediately I didn't like them cold, but warming them up made them more palatable. Lacking any sweetness was hard but they WERE incredibly filling. Especially given there is only 4 tablespoons of oats and half a cup of milk per serve (along with coconut, almonds, cacao powder, and cacao nibs). I found I couldn't eat the last bite I was just so full! That's what you want out of a breakfast, isn't it? If there's a time to eat your carb serving within your low carb food intake then I think breakfast is the time to do it. If it gets me through to lunch time I'll be really happy! There are two more serves of that kind in the fridge, then I'll be making the banana chia ones. Today was also my first taste of cacao nibs and I really enjoyed them! I sprinkled them on top and enjoyed the crunchiness, I can see a lot of ways I can add them to other foods in the future. Yum!
For lunch today I have that slice I made yesterday in the fridge with a salad, and for dinner I'll be using up the remaining ricotta cheese, a roast beetreet, in a roast tomato zucchini pasta which I may toss a veggie chicken schnitzel through. I'm aware they fall under processed food but I'm not eating them everyday and they're handy when I don't have chicken in the freezer. For energy snacks if needed throughout the day I have homemade flax crackers and key lime balls. And as always, plenty of water!

Food
Breakfast- Choco coco overnight oats and a coffee with full cream milk and no sugar

Morning Tea- 3 flax crackers
Lunch- Slice with salad, 1 square of sugar free fruit and nut chocolate
Afternoon Tea-2 x lime balls and a square of 70% dark chocolate. Really enjoying the chocolate today.
Dinner- Zucchini and Beet ricotta noodles with a serve of 90 second almond bread

After dinner-Another 1 square of fruit and nut sugar free chocolate. Two giant sticks of celery with hummus dip

Exercise
Morning-blogger-me is aiming to do the rest of my Zombies, Run! mission from yesterday and a bit of cardio under the carport. Afternoon-blogger-me will check back in later.
Afternoon-me didn't go today.

Day Fifteen

Food
Breakfast- Optifast Shake
Lunch- Avocado and chicken salad from the Pelaton with coffee on almond milk
Square of lime dark chocolate
Dinner- Zucchini and sweet potato slice with salad and dressing
After Dinner- Snacked on a whole lot of my flaxseed crackers because I have been missing that crunch SO MUCH and they were fresh from the oven! They're so yummy. Another piece of slice that I really didn't need but over-ate with. I'm really full now, whoops. Eh, learning along the way, aren't I?

Ok so I'm food prepping the slice, three days of over night oats, and the key lime pie balls this afternoon and I want to make it known that this shit takes A LOT of preparation and it makes A LOT of mess. I have a small kitchen so it gets messy quickly. I really want to knock up as much as I can so I know which leftover herbs I need to make into paste,  and how many veggies I need to cook in other ways so I don't waste anything.

Lessons learnt- you have to GRIND the flaxseeds before you try and use them in anything. Didn't realise that til I'd added all the other ingredients and had to toss it all and try again. Second batch are in the oven now so fingers crossed!

Exercise

P.s, in case anyone is reading apart from just me... there is no Thermomix in my kitchen. All my foods I'm making from scratch and by hand. Tell you what, don't quite sugar unless you enjoy cooking! Holy Cow.

Day Fourteen

Food
Breakfast- 1 egg, 2 mushrooms, small amount of mozzarella cheese, salt and pepper omelet, 4 stalks of cooked asparagus. Coffee with no sugar and full cream milk

Morning Tea- Regular almond milk cappuccino and a choc brownie protein bar
Lunch- Other half of my broccoli soup from yesterday
Afternoon Tea-Optifast Shake. I did a lot of walking today and groceries don't arrive til tomorrow so I figured that'd do.
Dinner- Cheat night! Double bacon burger with chips covered in gravy from the corner store. Holy shit it was heaven. I feel guilty now, but it was so delicious.

Today is Friday and therefore cheat day! Naughty dinner tonight nom nom nom. I've ordered all the ingredients for the recipes I posted yesterday and I am SO excited to try them out!! Especially looking forward to those Flaxseed Crackers because boy, oh, boy am I missing crunchy things that aren't raw broccoli. Another thing to note is that the sugarless brain fog I was experiences has lifted thankfully, and I've been increasing my salt intake in foods (veggie stock in soup for example), and also I've been taking an iron tablet daily for the past three days and I can feel it making a difference. I get my blood test results on Monday which will help me even out what else I need to be healthy and function at my best.

 Exercise

Afternoon Tea-1 bliss ball and coffee with no sugar
Dinner-Cauliflower soup with Moroccan veggie burger and zucchini noodles

10x Sidekicks (10 each leg)
5x Lunge on each leg
10x  Fly (reverse crunch)
30x Crunches

Lunch- Green salad and Moroccan style veggie burger
Afternoon Tea- Other half of my apple, coffee with full cream milk and no sugar
Pre-workout energy- Optifast Shake
Dinner-Roast cauliflower soup
Two pieces of sugar free fruit and nut chocolate

I'm going to the Dr today to get weighed, and some blood taken to check all my vitamin levels, including iron. I'd like to have that managed and check in with him every so often to check my progress as I move toward my goal of jogging 5km by April. I've also decided that while I have a cold (am recovering thankfully) I'm going to set myself up a little workout station on the front step and reach my daily steps that way when I can't jog/walk 5km. I'm resetting my steps counter goal to 10,000. I wonder if Zombies, Run! would work jogging on the spot? I might try that this arvo. That'd be handy.

Afternoon-me had bloods taken and will check back in on Monday with the dr to see what my stats are like.

Exercise
 I finished the Zombies, Run! mission I had to abort last week, but just walking/jogging on the spot under the carport. Then I pulled out last year's work out book and started back on day one.
10x squats
12x supermans
10x rear leg raises (each side)
3x 10 second planks
30x crunches
6x bench dips
I found it hard as I'm currently 96kg and haven't done anything but walking/jogging in a long time.

Day Ten

Hi blog, here's today's entry

Food
Breakfast- One fried egg, a handful of wilted spinach, a large mushroom, half an apple with a spoon of peanut butter for dipping.

Morning Tea- small cappuccino on almond milk with no sugar, about 30g of almonds
Lunch- Green salad with a Moroccan style veggie burger chopped through
Afternoon Tea-Wasn't really hungry, had a square of sugar free chocolate
Dinner-Optifast Shake and a fruit salad
Snack- the other 30g of almonds from the packet earlier

Exercise
I have a head cold so the only exercise I did today was walking the kids to daycare, then wandering around the shops for a bit, then coming home. Morning-blogger-me has done about 6,000 steps (4kms). Afternoon-blogger-me has done that distance again. So around 8km today.

I've found a recipe for vegan healthy caramel apple cheesecakes on a page I follow on Instagram I want to make note of to try. In future I might do another page on my blog with recipes I want to try/have tried and sort them into categories of affordability, difficulty, taste etc. Highlighting to remind myself!

Day Nine

I'm feeling pretty sick today with this cold. My nose and head are feeling stuffy and I'm a bit sick in my stomach. I'm not going to exercise until I'm feeling better, not happy about that. I can keep trying to eat well in the meantime though, that's the main thing.

Food
Breakfast- Sugar free coffee with full cream milk, a large apple
Morning Tea- half of my container of salad and chicken, coffee with milk and no sugar
Lunch- salad and chicken
Afternoon Tea- few spoonfuls of coconut yoghurt and a bliss ball
Dinner- Optifast Shake
Snack- 1 piece of sugar free chocolate, a large handful of fresh green beans with 60g hummus

Day Eight

Food
Breakfast-Optifast Shake
Morning Tea- Fruit salad with a dollop of coconut yoghurt
Lunch-Optifast Shake, rest of this morning's fruit salad
Afternoon Tea- 1 bliss ball
Dinner-Optifast Shake, container of salad.
At the movies- a bottle of water, two pieces of sugar free chocolate.
About midnight when I got home from the Crimes of Grindalwald (which was crap, by the way) I was so hungry after being around all that popcorn and stuff that I had a container of my chicken and veggies.

Today is meal prepping day to restock the fridge, I also have a head cold that started yesterday and has worsened today. Sore throat, bit sick, stuffy runny nose, bit of a cough. I'm going to the movies tonight and it's my first real world test avoiding buying my usual maltesers and pepsi. I'll take a snack with me from home and have water with an infusion in.

 From top left Broccoli Soup with some Parmesan and chia seeds thrown in made with veggie stock. Salads with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, avocado, cucumber, and a little French dressing. Pan fried in coconut oil chicken with wilted greens, fresh cherry tomatoes, roasted carrot and cauliflower. Fruit salads with apples, pear, mango, blueberries, and strawberries. And lastly a roasted butternut pumpkin soup with chilli powder and garlic. Both soups went into the freezer and the rest went into the fridge.

Day Seven

Wow. I haven't eaten bread in seven days! That's a thing. So today I have a sore throat, I am SO FUCKING TIRED, my nose is stuffy, I have no energy. The rest of the family have colds so I wouldn't be surprised if that's what I'm coming down with. It's day seven and I don't feel like I've lost any weight, I wouldn't know because I haven't weighed myself but I snuck out the measuring tape and measured my upper arm and thigh for reasons that are beyond me yesterday and they haven't changed. I don't know why I expected them to change after a week, I don't know why I did it, I don't know why I'm so disappointed now. Maybe I should get some scales or something? I don't want to become addicted to watching the weight, though. Eh.

Annnnyway.

Food
Breakfast- instant coffee, full cream milk, coconut sugar. Optifast shake.
Morning Tea-1 bliss ball, a hard boiled egg
Lunch- Optifast Shake
Afternoon Tea - Last pre-prepared serve of chicken stir fry. Protein bar mid afternoon. I am REALLY struggling today with hunger. I hate this.
Dinner- Optifast Shake

Dinner was actually an oven baked sandwich, 2 pieces of cheesy garlic bread, and two salted caramel mousses from Dominos.

Day Six

Food
Today was a real challenge for me as I had an RSA course at the community college. This meant I had to prepack my food the 6 hours while everyone else went to the takeaway across the road, or to the bakery. I made it through, only getting a skinny capp with no sugar this morning from the bakery.

Breakfast- Optifast shake, instant coffee with full cream milk, coconut sugar.
Morning Tea- Fruit salad
Lunch- Chicken veggie stir fry I made two days ago, 1 bliss ball
Afternoon Tea- Optifast shake (I couldn't have one at the course so I had it when I got home, I was pretty hungry!) Hard boiled egg. Two spoons of strawberry coconut yoghurt.
Dinner- Thai beef salad from the Thai takeaway down the street. Little to no fat and sugar, mostly salad and beef, no carbs. I thought as far as takeaway goes that's a safe option and also a treat.

Exercise
Walked to and from RSA even though it was only down the road. My blisters need to heal before I put my joggers back on again. Might do some dance workout tonight or yoga if I'm not too tired. I'm pretty buggered at the moment.

Feeling pretty discouraged about whether this is going to do anything. Having a Mirena in which caused me to put on weight is working against me, as are the 100mg of daily sertraline. I'll keep going though.

Night time me- I stole three pieces of my boyfriend's honey chicken from the fridge during the night. It was fried and sticky and sweet and delicious. Not sorry.

Day Five

Food
Breakfast- Optifast shake, a bottle of water with rose lemonade cold infusion tea bag, coffee with full cream milk and no sugar. I am drinking more than one bottle of water a day, I just forget to record how many to include in my posts.
Morning Tea- One square of sugar free Tahitian lime dark chocolate, which I thought I'd hate and have to get used to, but the rich cocoa flavour is nice and it melts in your mouth. I savour the taste rather than immediately feel like I need to eat more as I would with Cadbury milk chocolate. I'm guessing that's the absence of sugar. Fruit salad with table spoon of strawberry coconut yoghurt on it. I think coconut yoghurt itself would be a good food choice, but the addition of strawberry puree stuff probably increases the sugar levels making it not such a good choice. I'll be careful to only have the recommended serving until it's gone, then get plain next time. Handful of fresh green beans
Lunch- Optifast shake, a boiled egg. A square of dark chocolate.
Afternoon Tea- Serving of yesterday's chicken and veggie stir fry, a homemade bliss ball.
Dinner- Optifast Shake, pear.
Before bed snack (I get really hungry around 9-10pm)-The Counter Bar protein bar, chocolate brownie crunch.

Exercise
Due to big blisters on my feet I won't be doing a walk/run today. I start these posts in the morning and update them before publishing later in the day, so this is morning-me saying I'll do some at-home exercise tonight involving the Fast Car dance workout, maybe a happy mile walk, Yin Yoga, or even some Wii Just Dance. Just as long as I don't need to wear shoes. Ouch.
Afternoon me- I went anyway. I jogged at intervals for 1.6km and I'm glad I did it. But now my blisters have popped so no more for me til they heal.

As for meals for next week I'll continue with the shakes, but vary my snacks a bit with roasted spiced cauliflower, some homemade sweet potato chips, spinach, broccoli, and chicken or eggs in containers. I might look into some soup options, and some of the I Quit Sugar recipes I've used in the past.

I am struggling so badly with cravings and the food around me today... especially hot buttered toast which my kids are having, and the chips my boyfriend has in the cupboard. I told him I don't want him to feel like he can't have anything that I'm not eating myself, I think that's important, but it's soooo hard in these first few weeks saying no. Carbs are the hardest I think. That comfort and satisfaction I get from a cheese sandwich i'm missing A LOT. I'm not letting myself be too hungry, though. I'm just making sure that I snack on the right things.

Day Four

Food
Pre-Breakfast on way back from walk/run- Cacao and hazelnut raw protein bar and small cappuccino on full cream milk no sugar.
Breakfast- Optifast Shake
Morning Tea-1 homemade bliss ball and garden salad
Lunch- Optifast shake and 220g of watermelon and rockmelon
Afternoon Tea- 2 cups of raw broccoli with 60g of hummus dip
Dinner- Homemade chicken stir fry with super food veggie mix and sauce made with soy, sesame, peanut butter, and a little honey, with zucchini noodles. Pear
I just want some meat tonight, I feel like I need a little more than a shake at the moment. I'm struggling with cravings and the sugar withdrawal so I'm trying to combat that best I can. I almost ordered pizza for tonight because I was hungry and stressed, but I pulled out a prepared tub of broccoli and dip instead. That kind of behaviour and thinking is what got me to this weight in the first place, it'd do me no good reverting to that on day four. I've gotta keep looking ahead to the future and working on the long run. It's less about struggling day to day with the new adjustments, and more about reminding myself that for this to work, and for me to look at a before and after photo in 6 months time and see a difference, I absolutely need to stick to it daily. I can do this.

Exercise

This morning I didn't eat before going out to exercise, just had an instant coffee at home with coconut sugar as usual, and I had to stop the Zombies,Run! app halfway through because I felt very faint. I very slowly walked to settlement city and had a protein bar, water, and a coffee. I had a shake when I got home. Next time I go in the morning to exercise I'll remember to eat something first.

Day Three

Food
Breakfast- Optifast shake, coffee with full cream milk and coconut sugar.
Morning Tea- Regular cappuccino on almond milk, no sugar. Half a mixed nut snack pack with dried cranberries, yogurt sultanas, and almonds. Leftover fruit salad from last night.
Lunch- Optifast Shake
Afternoon Tea- Garden salad, lots of water with new Tetley cold water infusion sachet, a small handful of nut and fruit mix from earlier (still some left in fridge), 3 small carrots cut up and dipped in 60g of hummus
Dinner- Optifast Shake
Dessert - 2 homemade bliss balls made with medjool dates, coconut, coconut oil, cacao powder, and chia seeds.

Exercise
Walking the kids to and from daycare. Approx 8kms there and back twice.

Day Two

Food
Breakfast- Coffee with full fat milk and coconut sugar (can't go without my morning coffee, can change milk to skim, though) and Optifast Shake
Morning Tea - Fruit Salad with green tea (discovered I hate green tea)

Lunch- Optifast Shake
Afternoon Tea- Salad
Dinner- Optifast Shake, 1 cup of broccoli with leftover hummus dip. Bit more fruit salad. Mug of passionfruit tea
Exercise

This is really just for me but if anyone else is reading then I hope you'll be supportive as you follow along. Today is day one of my Optifast journey and in this post I will records my measurements in cm, what exercise I do today, and what I eat and drink. I won't be weighing myself though because I don't own scales. I'm not really sure what my schedule for recording my progress will be yet, I'll figure out what works as I go. Maybe I'll aim record measurements once a month, food and exercise daily, and a progress photo after 3 months.

Food
Breakfast- Coffee with full fat milk and teaspoon of coconut sugar
Chocolate Optifast shake
Morning Tea- Strawberry and Rhubarb tea (no sugar) and one cup of raw broccoli with 60g of hummus dip.
Lunch-Optifast Shake
