Sunday was rest day this week (although, we had another Family session with 2 little girls) I'm pretty sure it was at least worth half a cardio session ;P
So onto food for today, yummy feta and spinach omlette for breakfast.
And, OMG, the Almond jar was almost empty! So Activating Organic almonds today as well, so I was sorted for the next couple of weeks. Activating Almonds means that you soak them in water overnight (approx 12 hours) which 'fools' them into thinking they are going to 'sprout' bringing all those good enzymes out. Then I drain them and dry them before puting them in the oven on a very low heat for up to 24 hrs. They are the crunchiest, yummiest almonds I have EVER tried!
Dinner, was Chicken meat loaf with sweet potato and greens. In the meat loaf went the folling ingredients:
Leek
Kale
Zucchini
Carrot
Parsley
Garlic
Thyme
Rosemary
Spinach
Egg
500gr Chicken mince
Tsp chicken stock
Mix it all in together, put in a loaf tin and in the oven for... hmmmmmm.. I really can't remember but i'm going to say approx 40 mins at 170 degrees. (But cause i'm hopeless, please check every now and then)!
Monday, instead of a fasted walk I thought I'd give some 'slower-paced' exercise a shot.... Yoga App on my phone, lets just say it was 'nice' but not my normal intesity. Off to PT which was a mixture of Legs and TRX Chest exercises at Get Fit Gladstone
Leftovers made into a salad for Luch today!
I also won a 'ASN Selfie' comp that the Gladstone store held over the weekend. Yay me!! I won a gift pack which contained, a gym bag (which I really needed!!), a new shaker and a cool new navy ASN tank! Thanks to all the awesome people at ASN Gladstone!
Took 2 awesome kiddies to yoghurt land while I sat and thought about what i'll have on mine for a 'Cheatmeal' when the weekend comes!!!
Finished off Monday like normal with a Punchfit session!

Off to pick up Teagie, so she didn't have to spend another day at home doing 'nothing'!!! So with Lucie in tow... off to the Juice bar for some lunch. Chicken salad for me with the dressing on the side and a Vegetable juice. Beetroot, cucumber, celery, and ginger. Was a yummy lunch with great company!

Saturday, had been a long awaited day! Was my belated Birthday shopping day with my awesome sisters, niece and awesome Friend in Rocky! But first I went for my usual walk!
Then to get organised for a 'girly' day!!
And who can go to Rocky without having Hogs Breath for lunch!!! This brings us to my first 'Cheat Meal' in 12 days! I still made it healthy tho! Lite cut steak with Avocado and a garden salad!!
And then not so healthy! Pistachio and Plain tart yoghurt topped with almonds, coconut, toasted oats and fruit bursts from yoghurtland. But I can tell you, I enjoyed every bit of my 'Cheat meal'!!
Thank you Girls for an absolutley awesome day out!
Sunday morning I walked to Bootcamp and got a little 'Dirty' in the drizzle! There were, cammando rolls, stair runs, sprints, squats, wheel barrow races, crab walks and spider crawls, all in the very very 'damp' grass :) All worth it in the end!
But afternoon bootcamp session was nice and 'quiet'..... with some awesome stretches and ab work!
Which brings us to today! I had a quick weigh in this morning to check if i'm all 'on track' and in 2 weeks, have had a total loss of 4 kgs, and 1.3% body fat! below is a progress photo... and although I am wearing different clothes, I think I can see a difference! :)
See..... hard work pays off! Stick at it guys! This journey has taken me over 18 mths! I have had my ups, downs, good days and BAD ones! Sometimes I really feel like throwing it all in and then I remember why I started in the first place! I want to be happy, healthy, and live a longer life! I want to see Lilli grow up, and join in with her at sports and playing in the back yard. I want to set an example of a healthy lifestyle for HER! I WILL be the best I can be, even if I fail sometimes!
Thank you all for sticking with me! Have a happy and healthy week ahead :)
And by the way, I can tick off one of my goals for this challenge! 'To motivate just 1 more person to become a healthier version of themselves'!
