Week 5 Weigh-In – Good Health Challenge

Well here we are, the end of my first week without checking into you guys on a daily basis. It was hard! I found it harder to be good without checking in regularly. I’d forget that I’d have to own up to it all on Monday. HA!

All in all, I didn’t do too badly though. It wasn’t perfect, there were wins and there were fails but I did alright.

Here are the stats.

Weight:  61.5kgs – half kilo gain 😦

Did I eat from the naughty list this week? If so, what?

(naughty list is lollies/sweets, biscuits, the usual suspects)

Eerrrrr YES. Yes I did eat from the naughty list.

Tuesday was a  freaking disaster. OMG. We met some friends in the park after Little Rugby and all had hot chips for lunch. Not awesome.

From hot chips we went to the ice cream place BUT I did manage to hold back on that one. WIN for me.

That afternoon we had a playdate that went late and I knew Monkey would not last for me to cook dinner so I did the unthinkable and bought us one each of those ready made meals from the freezer section – both pasta dishes. It is so stupid as we are really anti plastic at the moment and those dishes come in plastic containers with a plastic film over the top. I have NO IDEA what I was freaking thinking.

I also let Monkey get lollies as my willpower was weak, so weak, at the end of my exhausted day. And of course I ate some of the lollies.

There were a number of things that failed me on Tuesday but a big one was organisation. I wasn’t feeling inspired about food as I had the melatonin tummy cramps happening and I just couldn’t figure out what to make for dinner and what to buy at the shops and it was just all a complete shocker. So, organisation is the key to success.

Aside from that it was a pretty good week. We ate at the monthly night markets on Friday night – I had the  Turkish gozleme so not the healthiest of choices. I did buy lollies that night but they are still sitting in the cupboard in an unopened pack. I was a good girl. 🙂

We had guests this weekend so I had a few glasses of champagne on Sat night and then we opted for hot chips by the beach as a late lunch on Sunday.  We ate out for dinner Sat night and that was healthy. I opted for the pork belly salad. Yummo. You win some, you lose some.  I think the hot chips / gozleme / champagne combo were probably the reason for my weight gain.

Did I exercise 3+ times this week? No, I did not. Trying to make that happen this week.

Any new recipes/healthy treats to share?  I made healthy lime cheesecake. Wowsers, amazing. Blog with all the info is here.
