Week 10 - Tues and Wed
Tuesday
Well yesterday was a struggle. Maybe it was fructose withdrawal, but I was exhasted and the workout was a real struggle. Mindset was awful. Wanted to quit my workout. But I got on with it and did 30 min run and 30 mins cross trainer.
Food:
- watermelon, banana, apple
- cup of tea, milk and xylitol
- omelette
- rice cakes with peanut butter
- roast chicken and roast vegies
- strawberries with cream and rice syrup
- cup of tea, milk and xylitol
Probably went over in calories today, had a birthday dinner, so did my best to be healthy. Did not eat any cake :)

Week 10 - Monday
Things are going great for me. I have been doing a lot of reading into my sugar cravings. I found a fantastic book which I read over the weekend called "Sweet Poison" fabulous book if you have a sweet tooth and want to lose it.
Anyway, I am off fructose, other than in whole fruits. Whole fruits are fine because of the high fibre, water, nutrients and enzyme content. Have been off it completely today, was nearly completely off it yesterday too. Already feeling way more in control. Looking foward to the craving free journey :)
Meal Plan:
- Porridge with blueberries and banana
- Museli bar (fructose free)
- Watermelon
- Chicken salad
- Pear and strawberries
- Lamb, goats cheese, avacado salad
- Cup of tea, milk, brown rice syrup
Exercise:
- 45 mins step class, 15 mins cross trainer, 15 mins bike

Haven't posted for the last few days. This week has been insane with uni. Luckily next week will be better :) Way less stressful.

Food diary:
- porridge with banana
- apple
- chicken, pear and feta salad
- cup of tea with milk and rapadura
- chicken, avacado, roasted onion salad
- cup of tea with milk and rapadura
Workout:
- 8 km run

Well within my limits today :)
Special note to Nici! I am super proud of you! This week has been amazing for you! You are well on track and all the positive habits are setting in! Congratulations! I cannot wait to read all about your physical progress to a lean ripped body! :)

Week 9 - Tuesday - Thursday
Weigh in: 52.7
Goal weight: 51
Weighed in this morning at 52.7. I ate quite well yesterday (not perfect), and did an hours hard cardio. But am still down. Quite interesting to see the fluctuation in weight even just after a day. By weighing in every day I think I will be seeing my weight go up and down :)
Rest of the week
Has been a long week. Busy with uni, and travelling, which means that I have been eating a bit of take away food. It has not been perfect, but I have been conscious of my take-away decisions e.g. sushi and salads. But am still not sure how many calories I have been eating. This is not a common schedule for me.
Anyway, it is my busy day tomorrow, then I am on the proper no take away bandwagon. Also, I have still been doing my workouts. Over an hour of cardio each day, that is something. I don't think that I am putting on weight which is a plus.
Will weigh in Saturday morning and then every day there after. As well as my food diary. Three weeks should still be long enough to get to my goal weight. :)

Week 9
Okay, so I weighed in this morning for the first time in weeks. I am 53.1kg. Have put on some weight. But as a plus have still lost 1kg. My goal was 50kgs by the end of the 12 weeks. I would be happy with 51kg. Leaving me 2.1kg to lose in 4 weeks.
To keep myself accountable I have decided to weigh in each day. Otherwise I have this mindset that I can make it up on the days before weigh in.
In terms of the weekend. Friday eating was not great. However, I ate well on Saturday and Sunday, no slippery slope. I am still struggling with sweet cravings but I will continue on.
Exercise. I did my normal hour of cardio each day. Fri 40 min run and 20 mins cross trainer. Sat 60 min run (11kms). Sun 60 min cross trainer.
Anyway, 500 grams per week is my goal. I will be posting my daily weights in. :)

Week 8 - Thursday
Today has not been great. Back to my Sunday mindset. So ridiculous to think that my mindset can change so much in a day. Silly silly eating.
Pretty much, the dealio is that I have to re-write a huge piece of my work from uni. Today I have felt extremely overwhelmed and have been a bit of an emo. So of course, as predicted my eating went way downhill. At gym I got on the treddie and was ready to quit after 5 mins. However, I sucked it up and stuck to it until I had run 7kms. Then spent 25mins on the cross trainer. Was a mentally hard workout today.
My whole mindset today was that I cant cope with failure on this program and failure at uni. Neither of which are true or even possible. Btw, I am an over-achiever at uni, have always done very well, so logically I know this attitude is incorrect. Plus, I work out everyday, so clearly not failure there. But I am consistently disappointing myself on the food front.
Todays mindset was that there is no way I can lose the rest of the weight in the last four weeks, especially when uni is so hard at the moment. The only way it would be possible would be to be in control of my diet. Something that I have never been good at. At the moment I do not have the time to do more than an hours exercise a day.
Anyway, I hope that I can stay strong and get back on top of things tomorrow. I don't want to start the slippery slope for the weekend. I have a birthday dinner tomorrow night (pizza). So I have decided to stay at home until after tea and do some extra study. And have tea at home, no pizza for me :) Other than that I have prepared a whole heap of cooked vegies and cut up raw vegies which are in the fridge for me to snack on. No more carb treats. Hopefully the weekend goes well with food and study :)
Eating today (who knows how many calories):
- muesli and strawberries
- cup of tea
- watermelon
- roasted vegies
- 2 superfood orb balls
- cup of tea
- 2 pieces of toast with banana and honey, and jam and cheese (clearly healthful choices for dinner)
- cup of tea
Looking forward to a more controlled day tomorrow. Sorry Nici.
