Day Two

I may have fallen on the scales this morning... oops. They read 68.9kg, which has me down 1.2kg already. Obviously that's not weight loss though - I'd say all the crap food I was eating is working it's way out of my system. So, 3.9kg to go till my first goal!

I started today with 30 minutes on our exercise bike. I'm not a fan of the exercise bike - I don't particularly enjoy it, but I pushed on and cycled for the whole half an hour. My thighs are feeling a bit tired now. The computer thing on our bike is broken, so I had to time myself on my phone. This also means I have no idea how fast I was going, or how many kilometres I cycled... I was sweaty and a bit puffed by the end though, so I figure that's got to be a good indicator!


Breakfast: Grain-free granola with almond milk and blueberries. It was yummy, and quite filling.

Morning tea: A cup of chai tea with almond milk. I have to say, I am really starting to like almond milk - especially now that I can strain it properly with the nut milk bag my MIL made. I also had some more zucchini hummus with purple carrot sticks. I do like this hummus, and I like that it's getting me eating more vegetables.

Lunch: Leftover chicken vegetable curry from last night.

Afternoon tea: Two choc mint balls and two apricots.

Tea: I snacked on some delicious fresh blueberries while waiting for tea to cook. For tea we had a lovely, tender porterhouse steak grilled to perfection, one medium-sized steamed dutch cream potato, cucumber slices, tomato slices and some more beetroot salad.

Dessert/Evening snack: Ice cream, made up in the thermomix using coconut sugar, frozen coconut cream and frozen blueberries. I sprinkled a few fresh blueberries over and topped it all off with a strawberry picked from our garden - there's something very satisfying in that! I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, but it was really yummy! There's a bit left that I've put back in the freezer, so that may end up being dessert or a snack tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning I'm planning another run. Here's hoping the kidlets cooperate!
