Day 11

Today was okay, still not feeling great.

Had a birthday lunch today at a chinese restaurant, asked for steamed vegies and they gave me stir-fried in some yucky salty sauce. So I wiped all the vegies clean before eating them. Next time I will be definitely sending the food back, should have today.

Breakfast - carrot juice, museli bar
Snack - 2 mandarines
Lunch - Vegies and chicken
Snack - fruit strap and dates
Dinner - pumpkin soup

I have estimated right on 1200 calories for today. I also went to the gym and did a pump class and 30 mins cardio.  Still on track enough. Looking forward to having more energy and putting more into my workouts. Cardio is still hard, but I really enjoyed pump. Weights are going really well while I am sick, still able to work just as hard. 

I have work tomorrow, this is often where I come undone. So I am preparing myself, my lunch and my work out tonight. I am going to change these bad habits.  My sister is super skinny, and often leaves crappy food out at work.  I will make sure any food that is a risk to me will be removed as soon as I get to work.  I will have each meal prepared in containers in the fridge ready for meal time.  I will eat nothing else. 

I found Michelle's video this week very interesting.  Esp when she discussed the issue of changing old addictions with new addictions, I currently like to have sweet food after savoury food. This has been one of my major problems, I used to eat chocolate and cake. But last year I changed this habit to dried fruit and healthy homemade treats with all natural ingredients. 

I think it is time to kick this "addiction" and attempt to stop the food being in control of me. Lets see how I go??

- I have removed all dried fruit from my house
- I can only add fresh dates to meals e.g. salads and porridge
- I will not eat anything sweet after meals

I like that this program forces you to face your issues :)
