My health challenge Day 4

What a day! Mine started at 3:47am. Not by choice. All I can say is this: toddlers! 

Still, I did manage a tiny bit of sleep before heading off to do a Bunnings trip, some Community Garden projects and help hubby finish his sculpture. My role was simple- stop the 160kg thing from toppling over when hubby dragged it into its final position. 

I admit, the gardening part was just so therapeutic. I was pondering while planting. I have never felt such a peace while working, I know I could honestly keep doing this forever. Forever while on this mortal coil anyway. 


Even planting out these simple marigolds left me feeling uplifted.
Gardening is so rewarding.


To create something that brings joy to others is such a thrill. I certainly hope this garden outlives me. 

Now, to food. I think I've done rather well in this department today. Read on and see if you agree :)

DAILY FOOD

Breakfast: Medium banana, 40gm walnuts, Herman Brot low carb toast (1 slice) with small amount of butter and vegemite. Skim milk coffee.

Morning Tea: Skim cappuccino, half a banana.

Lunch: 1 slice low carb bread smeared with garlic paste, tin sardines in olive oil, drained, and some salad. 

Afternoon Tea: decaf with skim.

Dinner: 2 pieces of leftover chicken with some whole egg, low sugar mayo and homemade fermented beetroot relish. Mineral water.

DAILY ACTIVITY

3 hours of light gardening- planting, watering, with a fair bit of walking.

And, as always, lots of water throughout the day.



There really isn't anything pretty about sardines on toast. But as far as healthy goes, it's a winner!



After most of the work was done, we took the girls downtown for a gelato afternoon tea treat. Here is my adorable, cheeky miss 2 with her rainbow ice cream. 
Proud to say, I had none!
Honestly, self esteem feels better than ice cream tastes.
Go me!

Another day done right. Feeling proud. Granted, feeling hungry too. I've eaten ample nutrients today. Nothing more 'til brekky.
I've got this!

Until tomorrow, thanks for reading :)
