My health challenge Days 5 & 6.

I know, I'm a little late with the daily updates! 


Day 5 was Sunday. I felt pretty tired most of the day.  And it was surprisingly cold and windy. I also not only sing on church band, but make these awesome guys breakfast once a month. Combine tired and cold with temptation...and I succumbed. Why oh why do I make the fluffiest pancakes, and why didn't I choose fruit instead of maple syrup!!!

Oh well. One failure after several days of success.

Yesterday was Monday. Monday was of course day 6. Much better today, but no posting due to a cute miss 2 going through another stage of development. Not only has lack of sleep been a killer, but keeping up with her, and her destruction, is a teeny bit tiring. Still, I did well for most of the day. That evening, we sat down to a delish slow cooked turkey leg, brown rice and veg stew with oven baked bread. That is where I came undone. Healthy food, but portion control fail. 

Take a look for yourself at the day...

DAILY FOOD

Breakfast: low carb toast with 1/2 tsp olive oil, crushed garlic and 1 small avo. Coffee with skim.

Morning Tea: small tin of beans. Coffee with skim.

Lunch: low carb toast with cream cheese, 90g salmon, topped with my homemade fermented beetroot relish. Amazing! Coffee with skim. Too much coffee, I know.

Dinner: slow cooked turkey and brown rice stew with oven baked rolls. Very large serve, and too much bread. Oh dear.


Instead of kicking myself for being slack, I'm just starting again. The temptation is to go, 'oh well, that didn't work, so why bother?' Nothing positive will come from that outlook, even though it does enter my mind at times.

At least I am aware, and eating more nutrient rich food. Celebrating the positive steps forward. 


Here is proof of meals done right :)

All going well when I pick a cute toddler up from family day care this afternoon, you will get Day 7's update on time :)

Thanks for reading :)
