Those two simple little words have had me in quite the tail spin the last couple of days! Let me explain, I was at Starbucks on Sunday in the early evening to have a quiet coffee and a read of my new book, when the very nice young lady behind the counter asked if I wanted a free cake? Now this question poised to anybody but a compulsive over eater wouldn't be that much of a big deal, but for me it is. Because I know certain foods are off limits for me and I very carefully plan my day around my meals so as very little or no surprises come my way. So when I was asked this very simple yet daunting question my head began to spin and my palms began to sweat and my heart beat stepped up a notch, I know this doesn't happen to everyone who is offered free cake, but remember I am a food addict and she just offered me my biggest fix for FREE!
Of course the rational thing would have been to politely refuse and take my coffee and go on my merry way, but noooo once I was swept up in the heady excitement of consuming something I shouldn't I couldn't think straight, so I eyed the least damaging looking baked good behind the glass container and promised to give it some one else. It sat for a whole two seconds before I totally consumed it and was soon on the lookout for even more bad stuff! And just let me tell you the last couple of days have been very rocky I haven't been totally off kilter, but I also haven't been any where near my eating plan. When I spoke to one of my fellow OA member's she said that because I was presented with something I wasn't planning for, it totally threw me of balance. I guess I'm still not at the place where can just automatically turn down foods that I know will set me off.
I don't know how many times God has to remind me that I'm an addict, I mean I know that, but I just keep falling off the food wagon again and again and again, I know the road to recovery can be a bumpy one, but how many bloody times do I have to fall over crack my head open to get it? I was watching Intervention the other day and it was an episode on an alcoholic and the interventionist was explaining to him that once he has gone through recovery he wont touch a drop of alcohol because he will come to understand the consequences of taking that first drink. That really struck a cord with me and I know all too well the consequences of taking that first bite, but on several occasions I have still done it and not given a damn about the shattering after effects of my actions.
I mean when I look back over my last seven years of this journey I have done incredibly well, I have dropped 60lbs and a shit load of inches, gotten rid of my high blood pressure and increased risk of hear disease. I have a wonderful relationship with my family friends and my higher power. I am much more at peace with myself and the world, I laugh a lot more, have written a book, travelled and just basically love life. But all this can be shadowed by one bad binge and my binges now are so far and few between it's amazing, so I should look at the good instead of the bad, because the good by far outweigh the all the bad stuff.
By the grace of God today, so far, has been a wonderful abstinent day and I will keep reaching and praying for many more to come. Thanks for listening to me whine, maybe some of you are going through this and can relate, just remember you're never alone and keep striving for what makes you happy and never forget you're worth it!

Breakfast: wholegrain cereal, flax seed, skim milk, water and coffee.
Lunch: tuna salad and wholegrain crackers, apple and water.

wooo hooo another 3lbs down!!!!!
Yes, I was a happy little camper when I stepped on the scale and realized that I am down another 3lbs! Bloody brilliant! It was probably over a period of two weeks, so that's pretty darn good considering how close I am to my goal, only a meager 4lbs to go! I am so happy with the results, you know how hard it is to keep on track and keep going and sometimes you just wanna throw in the towel and say hand me that triple chocolate cake pretty please! I think what is making it a little more bearable for me is that I realize this is it for the rest of my life. I have chosen this food plan which I really enjoy, but I do still allow myself the occasional treat. But, it's not the same for everyone, you really have to figure out what works for you, I have to tread very carefully around my treat days.
There are certain foods that I cant have, I have one mouthful and I want a hundred more, so my treat foods aren't my binge foods. If you're a binge eater you have to figure out what your trigger foods are, basically you cant stop until you've consumed a whole bunch of whatever it is that cranks your chain! Also, a lot of my binge's are brought on by my mood, so I monitor how I am feeling if I have a sudden craving rear it's ugly head, I check in with myself and see whats going on. Because if I eat over something that's upsetting me, or depressing me I will literally eat anything and everything, I just want to stuff down whatever feelings I am having and not want to face them.
But, I learnt over the years that dealing with a situation like that is very demoralizing, because now you have the same problem hovering over you and now you also hate yourself for downing a massive amount of food. So, now you basically have two problems, the original one and the feelings of self loathing from giving into your habit. For me, this was the worst feeling, I would beat myself up something chronic, it is just so self-defeating, yet so easy to do. It is adsacly the same as when an alcoholic has that first drink after many years of abstinence, or the drug addict takes that first hit, food is my drug and I have to treat it as seriously as any other kind of substance.
But, anyhow folks, back to the happy news, yay 3lbs down! What a lovely day it was in Calgary, did you manage to get out and enjoy it? I hope so, it was a glorious sunny day, I actually met my sponsor today for coffee and we had a good old chat and catch up. And tonight my friend and I are going to see "Sherlock Holmes" with our imaginary boyfriend Robert Downey Junior, he is quite the tasty morsel!
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: 3/4 cup wholegrain cereal, 1/2 cup strawberries, skim milk, 1tbs flax-seed, 1tbs bee-pollen, water & cup coffee.
Lunch: wholegrain bagel with low fat cream cheese, water.
Snack: slice low fat banana cake, water & cup coffee.
Dinner: Roast chicken, salad, water.
Snack: sml bag popcorn (no butter) at the theater.
Activity: 1 hour kick-boxing class.
So you folks have a bloody great weekend, remember you're worth it!

Misering and Mini Eggs!
I have been reminiscing lately about when I was my own boss and owned my own business, yes it was a lot of blood sweat and tears, but you know what I went to bed at night knowing that all that energy, effort and hard work went back in my pocket, not someone else's. If you've ever been the entrepreneurial type you understand this and if you've always wanted to be your own boss your probably wondering what is standing in your way? To really understand how the wealthy and successful think you have to study them and I know it's real hard to look at Donald Trumps ugly mug and just want to despise him! But you have to say to yourself what does he have that I'm lacking to require the missing wealth in my life (apart from really bad hair!)?
I have taken a lot of courses and seminar's on this subject and there are several factors that millionaire minds have that most people don't and that is lack of fear and their thought process. Luckily I do have both of those wonderful gifts but have somehow lost my way on the path to success and it began the day I went to work for somebody else, coincidence? I think not! This has really been bothering me lately! It really came to light when I got talking about all the stuff this young dude that I've been seeing has accomplished on his short time on this earth and I told him how much I admired him for his drive and his courage (and his flat abs, ha ha) to take the path less traveled, he is a true success!
But, why is it that you rarely come across the real successful folk? I mean most of us are busting our butts daily, rarely see our loved ones and are struggling from pay cheque to pay cheque. It really is frustrating and disturbing and if you're there too I'm sure you're feeling it. I'm really going to put maximum effort into being my own success story and I shall keep you folks informed! Thanks for listening to me rant :)
Okay, to the food, today was very good apart from a very small bag of mini eggs that found it's way to my pie hole, but It was an absolute necessity as it's that time of the month were it was either kill somebody or have some chocolate, I chose the less messier latter option!
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: 1/2 cup granola, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup non fat natural yogurt, water & cup coffee.
Lunch: stone ground roll with sliced cucumber and humus, water.
Snack: Clean protein bar, water & cup coffee.
Dinner: vegetarian Chili, water & cup tea.
Snack: sml bag mini eggs (yuuummm...not the best choice I know, but a much a better option than being in jail for murder!)
Activity: 90 minute walk.
So, I'm off to meditate have a good day tomorrow y'all.

A wee bit tied up!
I know that sounds kinky right? But I must apologise my attention has been otherwise diverted the last couple of days......all I shall say is that he has big brown eyes, face as cute as a button, a great personality, intelligent, a ton of fun to hang out with and oh yeah he's is almost ten years younger than me so I guess I am officially a member of the Calgary Cougar Club!!!! But that's all I shall say for now on that subject!
Soo how has my eating plan been, still good, I've back at the gym and getting outside to enjoy the glorious weather, minus today though brrrrrrr. I went to my Overeater's Anonymous group last night and it was so nice to connect with like minded people and have such an incredible support system around me. The environment you live in and the people you surround yourself with is so important when your wanting to make a lifestyle change headed to the healthier side of life.
I really like the analogy of the twelve step belief and that is, for your life to be in perfect balance you have to have an equal amount of Spiritual, Physical and Emotional well being, because when you have all these three things in order you are living life the way you are supposed to. Have you ever experienced harmony in all three areas? If you have you know what I'm talking about. I first experienced this five or six years ago and it's incredible you feel like you're constantly walking on a cloud of happiness, you have a spring in your step, peace in your heart and your life is bloody fantastic!
But, why do we find it so hard to find that perfect balance? One or two things always seem to take over, like your job, your spouse, your kids! Or all three and then you're totally out of wack! I must say since I have started meditating I have felt a lot more balanced, as my life just recently went totally off kilter! But I have been putting the effort in to get back to that lovely peaceful place I once resided in and you know what I think I'm pretty darn close to it again.
I think the main reason people get off kilter with the magic three (that's what I like to call them) is the absolute inability to put themselves first, why do we feel such guilt when we put ourselves first? I love the saying that Oprah has and it's "if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!" and that is so true because if you have constantly put yourself last and having nothing to give, how on earth can you give anything good to anybody else? So if this sounds like you, really start taking the time to put time in yourself and make a list of all the things you want and all the things that make you happy. And everyday or every week or once every month take one thing from that list and bloody well do it!!!!
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: Low fat Banana nut muffin, water and coffee.
Lunch: wholegrain bagel & light cream cheese, water and coffee.
Snack: Clean protein bar, water.
Dinner: Lean ground beef stew, water and cup tea.
Snack: hand full of unsalted nuts and dry fruit.
Activity: 35 mins Elliptical trainer, 1hour circuit training class.
Okay so please believe that you are worth spending time on, believe me it will make your life so much fuller, happier and peaceful. Take care you lot.

A lot of skin and not a lot of clothes!
Well I must say last night was a fun, yet disturbing experience! I thought I would be the oldest person there but as it happens I wasn't, I didn't really feel comfortable but I also didn't feel completely out of sorts. So, I just enjoyed the experience for what it was, a night of fun out with a really good friend and dancing off a few pounds (oh boy it was hot in there!) I must say I wasn't sure what the dress code is these days, but from what I observed it was a combination of what little clothes you could legally get away with and not actually be naked! Hey, I'm no prude, I'm British we look for any opportunity to go topless, but I tell you if I went out dressed like the young Chickie's from last night my Mum would of kicked my ass!
So, as enjoyable as the night was my friend and I decided it wouldn't become a weekly event, but once in a while to cut lose and play with the younger folk it wouldn't be totally off limits. Getting back to my present situation with my weight loss and food plan.
When I was sick I didn't lose any weight but I also didn't gain any, which is great! So, I'm still ten pounds down and 9 inches lost which is wonderful. So I shall just weigh myself and measure in a month's time or sooner, as I should be at my goal by then, I only have 5-6 pounds to go and am really close, woo hoo!
Today I took advantage of our gorgeous weather and went for a nice long walk, I hear that four letter word beginning with S is heading our way, so I'm making the most of this glorious weather.
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: 1/2 cup granola, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup non fat natural yogurt, 1tbs flax seed, 1 tbs bee-pollen, water & coffee.
Lunch: Spinach & feta cheese salad, water.
Snack: slice low fat banana cake, water & coffee.
Dinner: Grilled chicken salad, water.
Snack: 1 orange and hand full of unsalted nuts, water.
Activity: 1 Hour walk.
So, I'm off to meditate have a good Monday y'all.

Cougar sighting in town!
It's the second day of feeling not so near to deathly ill, although I still feel something lingering and I'm trying my hardest to ignore it! What a lovely day we had today in Calgary it was almost like Spring! But I have learnt since being in the city that you embrace the warm sunny days get your ass up off the coach and get out there, because the next day could be a bloody blizzard! I sat outside (yes outside) Starbucks and languished in the mild weather and the occasional glimpse of sunshine, it really is the small things in life that bring you joy. I am happy a clam with a good book and a latte in my hand, yes I am also a cheap date a very cheap date! Although I do make up for it in the clothes shopping department I love my trips to those massive super discounted outlet stores across the border, mmmm shopping :)
So, tonight my friend and I are going to a night club, I haven't been to a nightclub in eons and I'm really just going to dance (no drinking I offered my car and services as the designated driver) I love to dance and it burns a ton of calories and I shall try my hardest not to feel like I'm attending a Kindergarten party as that was my last experience entering a night club. But I am stepping outside the box (or rather children's sand box!) and dolling myself in my finest (what are the young kids wearing these days I heard leggings were making a come back. Yikes! Scary eighties flashback!!!) I shall fill y'all in on my escapades tomorrow, hopefully I wont feel like someones Mother or worse, Grandmother!
Today I felt a lot more of my old energy come back as I was kicking butt in my kick-boxing class this morning, I know I've said it a thousand times, but I freaking love that class! And the two teachers that lead it are incredible and funny at the same time, you've got to make it fun or else you wont keep it up. So even though I'm going out tonight today will still be a eat clean day for me, in fact I'm munching on a bowl of freshly cut strawberries and blueberries this very minute, Yummy!
Down the hatch: -
Breakfast: 3/4 cup wholegrain cereal, 1/4 cup blueberries, 1tbs flax seed, 1 tbs bee-pollen, skim milk, water.
Lunch: Tossed salad with feta cheese, water & cup coffee.
Snack: bowl chopped strawberries, blueberries, handful of unsalted nuts, water.
Dinner: Grilled chicken salad (hey it feels like Spring outside, bring on the salads!) water & cup coffee.
Snack: Clean protein bar & couple of diet Pepsi's in the club!
I am planning what I'm going to eat after my snack, I will have my dinner before I go and bring my protein bar with me and down a couple of diet Pepsi's and hopefully dance my butt off! A lot of success in any kind of eating plan has a lot to do with preparation, if you have your good clean meals with you you're less likely to stray and you save a hell of a lotta money too.
So, I hope you all have a fantastic Saturday night as this Cougar is off to see what's on offer, I promise to be gentle with my prey!

I'm baaaack :()
Hello peep's I am finally back from my loooong hiatus away, I haven't been lying on a beach somewhere soaking up the sun (I wish) I was struck down by one hell of a nasty cold. I think I am finally coming out of it. I was sick for over a week which is very rare for me, I am blessed with a very healthy immune system, but boy did it take a knocking this past week! So I was feeling very sorry for myself and used that woe is me attitude, which is never attractive. Food wise I kind of just picked up what I had the energy to pick up, cooking was out of the equation, also In the depths of my pity party I chose things that are not on my eating plan, but now I am on the mend I am back on track, big time!
I summoned the energy to go to the gym tonight, because when I was down I listened to my body and just rested, it's very important when your sick because your body is using all it's energy fighting off your bug, so if you work out you really end up overtaxing your system and extending your time in your sick bed.
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: low fat oatmeal muffin, water & coffee.
Lunch: wholegrain wrap, sliced boiled egg, watercress, fresh spinach, 1/2 cup fresh strawberries and blueberries, water.
Snack: Clean protein bar, water & cup coffee.
Dinner: Vegetarian curry, water.
Snack: hand full of unsalted nuts and dry fruit, water & cup tea.
Activity: 1 hour circuit training class & 40 mins on Elliptical.
I am so glad to be back on the plan again, I missed eating healthy and feeling great, I'll keep it brief and yak more at y'all tomorrow. I hope you're all doing great.

Under the weather :(
Unfortunately I have contracted what all the other sick people had around me! I didn't blog yesterday because I felt so lousy, today is just a different degree of lousy, but I'm keeping a positive outlook on the whole thing. Today I even went for a walk, had to lie down when I got home, but at least I went for a walk! I somehow summoned up the energy to cook myself some organic chicken noodle soup and it didn't taste too hideous, although I think my taste buds are compromised right now! If you want to give it a go, buy some organic chicken broth, cook up some chicken, garlic, mushrooms, spinach (i just threw in what i had in the fridge) boil some ancient grain noodles and chuck together into the broth.
So I'll keep it brief as my head is starting to pound again and I'm anticipating my date with the intoxicating but medicating effects of my latest best friend Nyquil!
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: 1/2 cup granola, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup no fat natural yogurt, 1tbs flax seed, 1 tbs bee-pollen, water & cup coffee.
Snack: 1 apple & hand full of unsalted nuts, water.
Lunch: wholegrain wrap with sliced boiled egg, spinach & watercress, water & coffee.
Snack: 2 brown rice cakes, 2 tbs nut butter, water.
Dinner: Home made organic chicken noddle soup (yummy!), water & cup tea.
Activity: walk.

I see sick people
I'm feeling a little under the weather, my tonsils are swollen and my throat is sore, which I get every once in a while if surrounded by sick folk and there have been a lot of them lately. But I managed to drag myself to my hot yoga class and they had the heat seriously cranked (which I love) so people were dropping like flies around me and I'm just finding it perfect, so the teacher checks the temperature and it was close to 45 degrees! But the weird thing is I found it just great I was sweating buckets, but isn't that the purpose? But I guess the passing out wasn't so good for other folk, so the teacher turned it down to a nice 30 degrees totally livable temperature.
I felt a lot better after the class, but as soon as I got home I started feeling shitty again, but I'm downing extra Vitamin C and going to bed early, hoping for a full recovery, so Ill keep it short and wish you adieu till tomorrow.
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: Oatmeal & raisin muffin, water & cup coffee.
Lunch: Organic burger with salad, diet pepsi.
Snack: Clean protein bar, water and coffee.
Dinner: Grilled chicken salad, water & cup coffee.
Activity: 75 mins of super hot yoga!

Food and Taxes!
I got a hold of my tax lady today and took all my piles of stuff to her, I thought my refund was going to be a bit on the fatter side, but as it turns out it looks like it's going to lean toward the slimmer side of the all mighty dollar. So I called up a friend to convey my woes over the phone and she informed me that she was in a very bad way financially from something that happened years ago and she very graciously informed me that even receiving a refund was a lucky thing for me. So, God does work in mysterious ways, because as soon as I spoke to my friend my mood did a complete 360 and I felt not so hard done by!
It's amazing how easy I can lose sight of how lucky I am, I might not be tripping over mounds of cash, but I have a roof over my head, a wonderful family, fantastic friends, good health and many, many skills that I can put to good use. I guess sometimes I just need a little reminder once in a while, luckily my higher power didn't allow me to wallow too much in my self pity!
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: 1/2 cup granola, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 no fat natural yogurt, 1 tbs flax seed, 1tbs bee-pollen, water and cup coffee.
Lunch: Veggie burger on wholegrain bun, lettuce, pickles, mustard (very yummy) water.
Snack: Clean protein bar, water & cup coffee.
Dinner: Chili & wholewheat roll, water & cup coffee.
Activity: 1 hour weights circuit training class.
Tonight I went to my Overeaters Anonymous meeting, which keeps me in check with my addictive relationship with food and I just love the people that have become good friends over the years. It's so freeing to be able to talk about your behaviour as a compulsive over eater and have every single person in the room understand what your going through and not judge you. So I wish you all luck with what ever food or tax woes you are going through :)

What's that white stuff?!!!
I didn't blog yesterday because I had a very fun, impromptu girlie's day and night out (well there where two fellas with us in the night time segment). Because it's been so lovely we took advantage of the balmy weather and went for a nice long walk at Fishcreek park, it was great, I wish this weather was here to stay but alas I know it must leave us :( After our walk we went to Timmy's (of course) and had a coffee, I am on a real winning spree right now with those role up the rim things, last year I didn't win a bloody thing and considering I consume at least one beverage from there a day, that's pretty pathetic!
Then we came home and my friend cooked me a nice healthy meal, she's on the Bernstein's plan right now, so we had tilapea and roasted veggies it was lovely. So up to that point in the day food wise was super clean, but then we went to the bar and were misled by nachos (they were bloody good!) and then we went to one of friends home to watch "Star trek" the movie, I haven't seen it yet and was blown away by how much it resembled the old TV show which I absolutely loved, in fact I swore as a six year old that I was going to marry Captain James T Kirk! And she had a lot of munchie candy stuff there that somehow found its way into my mouth!
So, today I was back on plan 100%, although I am allowing myself the odd treat, it's just that yesterday it would have been better if I had the nachos or the candie snacky stuff not both! But I'm not beating myself up over it, that's old diet ways of thinking and I refuse to do that to myself anymore.
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: 3/4 cup wholegrain cereal, 1/4 cup raspberries, 1 tbs flax seed, 1 tbs bee-pollen, water & cup coffee.
Lunch: wholegrain wrap with tofu strips, fresh spinach and tzatziki spread, water.
Snack: Clean protein bar, water & cup tea.
Dinner: Grilled lean chicken, cabbage, veggies, water.
Activity: 1 hour kick-boxing class.
Were all of you as shocked as me to find the white stuff falling from the sky today and having to scramble to find your scrapper? But, I guess it's not hanging around for long thank goodness, we've just been too spoilt lately I guess. Have a good one tomorrow.

Ten years younger!!!
Well, I must say I had the best compliment today, someone I know mistook me for ten years younger than I am! I know I've felt fantastic since I've been on this plan and I have noticed my skin just glows now (not one of my former good features) and what few wrinkles I did have seemed to have just poofed out! It's always nice when a handsome young man thinks you are the same age as himself! I guess you're only as young as who you feel, Oh I mean how you feel, yeah that's it, how you feel ;)
So as I skipped merrily along with my food shopping and other mundane chores with an extra spring in my step. I went to my favourite kick boxing class this morning, I love that class. If you're looking for something that's cardio and conditioning and not boring I would give this kind of class a go as you burn a bazillion calories and have a blast at the same time. I met up for coffee with my sponsor today, she's such a fun gal, we had a good old catch up session, because we've both been doing our own thing lately and haven't crossed paths much, so it was so nice to finally catch up and have a good old chin wag.
Oh also I completely forgot to weight myself yesterday, which totally blows my mind! Before in my old diet thinking mode I would count the days down till weigh in, or bloody dread it! So, for me not to remember to weigh myself is an incredible break through, it shows I'm not thinking about this as a diet or just a quick fix, there's positive signs that this is it for life. So, I weighed myself today and I have stayed the same, which is fine considering Aunt Flo was visiting this week and she usually brings a couple of extra pounds with her as means of a gift!
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: Low fat Organic oatmeal muffin, water.
Lunch: Wholegrain pita with egg salad, water & coffee.
Snack: Clean protein bar, water.
Dinner: Vegetarian curry, water & cup tea.
Activity: 1 hour kick boxing class.
So I wish you all younger, healthier years to come, bye for now.

Sunshiney days :)
I just cant believe how glorious the weather has been lately! We are so lucky to have this unseasonably warm weather in our usually sunny but cold Calgary, taking full advantage of this today a good friend and I went for a lovely walk in Lake Bonavista (yay I finally know someone that can get me into that great gated lake legally!) It was so enjoyable we had a good ole girlie chat and a enjoyed the scenery and said hi to all the passerby's. Then we sat and on a bench surrounded by trees and contemplated life as we looked over the frozen lake yet warmed by the sun.
Then we went to Starbucks for a refuel and my friend needed to look for a book at Chapters, so we continued our fun girlie day indoors. Then she had to go back to her hubby and child and I went to the gym, since Aunt Flo finally left today. It has only been two days since I went to the gym, but gees why does your body have muscle amnesia when you don't workout for a couple of days, what's up with that?
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: 3/4 cup wholegrain cereal, 1/4 cup blueberries, 1tbs flax seed, 1tbs flax seed, skim milk, water and cup coffee.
Lunch: 2 lentil cakes with chutney, water.
Snack: Clean protein bar, water & coffee.
Dinner: Lean Turkey with fresh salad, water & cup tea.
Snack: Fresh strawberries & hand full of unsalted nuts, water.
Activity: 30 mins weights circuit training & 40 mins Elliptical.
I switched the cardio till after my weight workout because my brother (fitness dude) told me that you have more energy to perform your weight training segment and I must say that I did find my strength not faltering towards the end so I think I'll stick to this system.
So, I wish you many, many more sunny days!

Bring on the sunshine :)
I am noticing the longer I continue with this plan the more second nature it feels to me, I would say it's becoming easier, but I like to think of this new plan of eating as a way of eating for the rest of my life and hopefully it will become as natural as brushing my teeth, showering, all that good stuff and I do feel as if I am headed that direction. I love the way I feel eating this way and I notice if I do have the odd treat my body reacts in a completely different way than before. But, I really must say that going for longer amounts of time without sugar and white flour does lessen the physical cravings I used to experience and they are the hardest to say no to.
What a glorious day we had weather wise today I wanted to be out in it as much as possible and just bask in the warmth and glow of the sun, it was a great day today, but when the sun goes down it gets bloody cold! I did force myself inside today to finish my log books for my taxes, I just have one more thing to get ready for my accountant and that will be it for another year. I'm sure you're all going through the same lovely stuff right now!
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup skim milk, 1 tbs bee-pollen, water & cup coffee.
Lunch: Grilled chicken wrap, water.
Snack: Clean protein bar, water & cup tea.
Dinner: Lean ground turkey, chopped garlic, mushrooms, green onion, snap peas, all cooked together and mixed in with organic tomato sauce (very yummy!) extra fresh spinach on side, water.
Snack: 1 apple & handful of unsalted nuts, water.
Activity: none, Aunt Flo's still visiting.
So, I hope you're all in a happy peaceful place with your lives and your taxes!

Write on!
I took a good friend of mine to my writer's group in High River, I've been a member there for about a year and I just love it. One of the reasons I joined is to get back to fictional writing and get over my fear of public speaking, and I must say since joining the group I have achieved both! The programme is run by an incredible lady Carol, she is so passionate about writing and really gives you whatever tools you could possibly use to master your skills. We had some homework (yes, they give you homework!) from last month and I brought along my offerings, it really ended up being a children's story and I enjoyed getting into the different head space you need to write a children's story and everyone seemed to have positive thoughts on it, which was great. So, I think I might pursue this genre a little more. My friend really enjoyed the group too and she has been away from writing for a really long time and this seemed to have inspired her to pick up the pen again, which is great!
I didn't go to gym today as Aunt Flo is still hanging around and because I get it so bad I have to be on two different kinds of painkillers from the doctor, I'm not that thrilled as I'm not a pill popper, but if I want to be able to function in any kind of way I have to take them. So I kinda took it easy and just went to my writers group later on in the evening. Which always leaves me in such a positive enlightened mood, I just adore that group, they're a really great bunch of talented folk.
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: Blueberry & bran muffin, water & cup of coffee.
Lunch: Grilled chicken salad, water.
Snack: Clean protein bar, water & cup coffee.
Dinner: Vegetarian curry, water & cup tea.
Activity: none today.
Oh yesterday I forgot to add to my plan a lunch time drink, which was a half pint of shandy, unless your English you probably don't know what that is, but its a dark bitter mixed with sprite, it's a total girlie drink and I haven't had one of those in eons. So I did partake of that and forgot to jot it down, you guys and girls get to know everything that goes in my mouth, so now your updated, if you want to try this drink on a treat day it's not too bad if you have light Sprite and dark bitter in a half pint, there's a lot more fattening things that you could chuck down your throat!

I hate Aunt Flo, I really really hate Aunt Flo!!!!!
Don't worry folks she not an actual person, but she is despised by women and men all over the world. If you're not quite sure what I'm talking about, I shall recap from last month. Aunt Flo is an evil aunt, she doesn't care who she hurts and her power is mighty and very far spread. She visits the female of your household once a month and brings nothing but misery and pain with her. And she doesn't just affect the female of your family, anyone who comes within a ten mile radius of her feels her wrath, are we catching on, yes I think you catch my drift, enough said!
But, I have some fun news I am having some pictures taking, I was discussing it with the photographer today and I am totally stoked I have wanted some new pictures for such a long, long time, the bikini picture you see of me is from when I first lost the weight about seven years ago, but I maintained that for most of those seven years, the only real gain was towards the end of last year when I went through an incredibly stressful time and lost focus of myself. So you will be the first to see my awesome new pic's, I'm just guessing their gonna be awesome, I'll see what you guys think!
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: 1/2 cup granola, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup non fat natural yogurt, 1 tbs bee-pollen, 1 tbs flax seed, water & cup coffee.
Lunch: Wholegrain wrap with low fat cheese, fresh spinach, sliced cucumber & tzatziki, water.
Snack: Clean protein bar, water & cup tea.
Dinner: Minestrone soup, wholewheat roll, water.
Snack: 1 apple & hand full of unsalted nuts, water & cup coffee.
Activity: 1 hour weights circuit training class.
I wasn't feeling that great this evening, but I still went to my Overeaters Anonymous group and I'm really glad I did, it's so important for me to keep all aspects of my recovery in check, which is mental, physical and spiritual. If all these things are in balance in my life than my life is balance and it's just wonderful to connect with people who really understand you. I have made some wonderful, long lasting friends in the fellowship. I hope you're all happy and doing well.

The flame shall burn on
It was right back on track today with my eating clean plan and activity. After all the extra calories consumed yesterday my head and body are in a cloudy food fog! If you haven't experienced that before, it's kinda like a hangover, not real nice. So it felt really good to get back on the eating plan today, I'm feeling chirpier as the hours go by.
So the Olympics are over and the flame has been extinguished for another four years as we all return back to our normal lives, but I'm pretty sure the warm glow for Canada shall last in our hearts for a very, very long time.
Down the hatch:-
Breakfast: 3/4 cup wholegrain cereal, 1/4 cup blueberries, skim milk, 1tbs bee-pollen, 1 tbs flax seed, water and cup of coffee.
Lunch: wholegrain wrap, with low fat cheese, fresh spinach, sliced cucumber, water.
Snack: Clean protein bar, water.
Dinner: Mackerel, salad, asparagus, chopped walnuts, water, cup tea.
Activity: 1 hour kick-boxing class.
I hope you're all recovered from yesterdays celebration, it's time to get back on track y'all!
