Made a big mistake this morning, thought my mobile would show summertime and I'd get up early and win an hour. Forgot all the neat tricks the new digital world has for us: it sets itself to the right time.
So didn't get up till 9.30 am. That sucks... wanted to do so much before heading off to work this afternoon. Oh well... feel very rested.
Back to yesterday, my day was pretty busy, did find the time to cook a meal to take to work, and... quickly read through the new ED3. Which took me quite a while, so no workout.
Managed to do something at work, it was quiet after 8pm, so I spent 15+ minutes doing all kind of stuff, squats and lunges and cossack lunges and push ups from the wall etc. So that should count for something. Plus the walking.
Foodwise it went well, except for that one little sweet cake that somebody left for me. Wanted to put it in the bin, but then, oops... I put it in my mouth instead! Oh, those sugar cravings. That's certainly not the path to a little black dress!!
I'm still aiming for 2.2 lbs this week, but 1 pound seems more realistic.
Food diary:
8am: 1 cup of tea
9.30am: yoghurt smoothie with lots of fruit and omega-3 seeds
2.20pm: bit of the chicken in coconut cream (dax moy recipe) + salad
4pm: little sweet cake
6pm: chicken in coconut cream with green beans, sugar snaps and small green salad
8.15pm: handful of nuts
Water: 1 litre (with a squeeze of lemon)

challenge/thursday
Really disappointed that I gained the 1 pound loss back. So, as this was another working at home day, I decided to do another fast, after my morning coffee, which counts as a drink I'm hoping.
Haven't done these since MAP, and this week it seems pretty easy. Saves tons of time and money.
Had a banana at 4.30 pm, and dinner at 7.15 pm. Pretty good.
I did a meltdown, a power circuit and an interval cardio at home, with lots of jumping jacks and stationary running.
What will I be able to do tomorrow? An early morning appointment, some photowork and receptionist job in the afternoon. Hoping to do 1 workout!
Food diary:
9am: coffee (!)
4.30 pm: 1 banana
7.15 pm: large vegetable salad, with cauliflower and shrimp heated in olive oil, with some garlic and spicy hot chili.
22pm: 1 boiled egg + 1 theaspoon almondpaste
Water: 2 1/2 litres (I'm making progress here!)

challenge/wednesday
Didn't eat dinner last night and got punished for it. Woke around 2 am and really hungry, so I ate 2 pieces of nutbread I still had lying around with almond paste. Of course, after that I new how stupid that was. Carbs at night with fat, so I didn't get on the scales in the morning. Would be too upset if the 1 pound I lost was back again.
I had a working day at home. Wanted to go for and interval run, but the rain wouldn't stop, so I did a 15 minute sort-of interval cardio at home + meltdown.
Foodwise I'm out of skelter, not hungry in the morning.... because I ate during the night of course. Threw out the rest of the nutbread, so as not to get tempted again. Started with an apple, then had my breakfast for lunch and a regular dinner. This week is going to be cheap if I keep eating like this.
Went to the supermarket and couldn't resist: bought a weightcare bar. Big minus point for me.
So, what are my cravings? Bread and sugar.
Food diary:
9 am: 1 cup of tea
10 am: 1 apple with lots of cinnamon
1.30 pm: 2 scrambled eggs with smoked salmon (miss a piece of bread with that)
7 pm: baked fish with salad, advocado and lots of broccoli
9.30 pm: a weightcare bar
Water: 1 1/2 litres (hopefully another glass or two before bed)
It seems the ED3 has arrived in my mailbox, but not going to read it right now, will mean spending lots of time behind the computer, and I've done enough of that for the day.
Tomorrow another day at home. Will try to do 3 workouts.

challenge/tuesday
Got up a bit late this morning - no coffee! so had a cup of tea and a late breakfast. Then had to leave for a photoshoot, got back way later than planned, so my lunch was not a selfmade vegetable soup, but some yoghurt with fruit, almond paste and omega-3 seeds. I was hungry!
But then, around dinnertime, not hungry at all, so only ate some tomato, cucumber and hummus. Will maybe have hungerpangs tonight?
The big news? My weight is down 1.1 lbs!!!!! Must be the fast. Very pleased.
On the downside, I didn't do any workouts today, because hectic and lots to do and this evening didn't feel like it.
Will definitely have to do more tomorrow. I will be working from home, so no excuses!
Food diary:
10am: 1 cup of tea and 2 scrambled eggs with tomato & onion
3.15 pm: yogurt with apple and prunes, almond paste and omega 3 seeds
8 pm: some tomato, cucumber, 1/2 bell pepper & hummus
Water: not even 1 litre, will have to fix that before going to bed.

challenge/monday
Got up at 8 and enjoyed a lovely cup of coffee (with ricemilk, don't like the taste of cow's milk anymore). It's the one thing I can't give up, but didn't buy any milk today, so won't be tempted tomorrow morning.
Had an early morning appointment and didn't have time for breakfast until around 11, so out of the blue decided to do a fast! Wow, could I really do that?
Yes, actually, didn't eat anything until dinner at 6 pm.
Then, around 7 a serious sugar craving, had the last 2 of my dried figs.
Managed 2 workouts today, 60/60 (those cossack lunges again) and a power circuit.
Walked to work = 20 min., and took a longer route back = 30 min.
So, happy with this first day on the challenge.
Glad we didn't wait for the new ED, because nothing in our post box so far!
Weight this morning: 65 kg / 143 lbs
Waistline: 30 1/2 inches - around navel 33 inches
Food diary:
8.30 am: 1 cup of coffe with ricemilk
6 pm: dinner: green salad with stuffed chicken breast
7 pm: 2 dried figs
Water: a little over 2 litres

....and go!
Today was a bit of a relaxing day. A lot of housecleaning and some shopping. Enough for tomorrow, will have to make sure I organise my days so I can fit in 2 workouts every day and have time to cook my meals. While doing 2 jobs and everything else that gets thrown my way this week.
But that's part of my challenge. And I'm really looking forward to it.
So Sue, I'm ready if you are!
Will post my weight and waist measurement tomorrow morning (and every day this week)

a beautiful sunday morning
Finally! Had a good nights' rest. Got up late, feel refreshed.
I managed to do another workout last night - at 11 pm!: the magic 100. It's not on reboot 3, but feel the need to do this one every so often. A full 20 minute workout, ended my day feeling better.
I'm going shopping today, with or without Dax's new ED program, I'm in the mood for a challenge!

another sleep deprived day
Went to bed around 1.30 pm last night, and woke up at 6 am because my downstairs neighbours were banging around in their kitchen. Presumably planes or trains to catch, - school holiday . Totally annoying, I got up at 7, barely awake and in a foul mood.
After a short workout and breakfast I hopped back in bed and from there the day went downhill. Stormy, rainy weather, no chance for an interval cardio session. Another short workout (10 minutes) and a quick walk around the block. Didn't feel like doing much of anything today.
I hope to finally have a good nights' sleep tonight. Tomorrow preparation time: foods to buy and recipes to find - low-carb, so I'm finishing off what's in the fridge tomorrow.
Can't imagine Dax's new elimination diet will be very different than what we already know, so I'm assuming it will be foods we've been allowed on MAP.

sleepy friday
Went to bed early on Thursday, but woke up at 3 am and couldn't get back to sleep for hours, got up at 7.30 feeling a little dazed. Planned to do 2 workouts as this was a non-working day. But after spending too much time walking around town and shopping for essentials, I came home exhausted. Decided to have a little nap and woke up 3 hours later!
So this day was a lazy day in bed. I guess the walking counts for something.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner were mostly ED. Not enough water though.
And now I'm still wide awake at 1 am.
Hope tomorrow will be more energetic. Have a whole weekend free from work!

gala dinner
A very busy morning, also transverting from wordpress to blogspot, only managed a very short cardio interval circuit.
Had the rest of my quinoa salad with extra green beans for lunch and then had to rush to work.
And was treated to a gala dinner, everything was a feast for my tastebuds, not really ED, but I left out the bread, no alcohol, felt it was going well until presented with dessert. Utterly tempting and utterly delicious, very wicked but this is now my 2nd cheat meal of the week. The scales will punish me for this tomorrow.
At least Sue, you don't have to worry, no headstart for me!!
