Energy was good in the beginning, though it started tapering off around M4. Was starrrrvvvinggg after M2 today, so went and did 2 loads of washing to stop me from any mindless eating (have worked out in the past that I sometimes eat when I'm tired or bored.)

Oh and I've got some gorgeeoouuuss peanut butter from my peanut butter angel

Its completely natural (ingredients list: nuts & salt) and its all syrupy and happy-like.. and I get 2 teaspoons of it a day lol. Gawd I love it...

[biggurl27]

Mmmm yummo you're diet looks grand =P~

Yep I do the same, tired or bored and just eat random things for the sake of it, not any more though aye poos :wink:

[samoan_muscle]

Where abouts did you pick up the peanut butter from?

Damn straight

Where abouts did you pick up the peanut butter from?

Ohh, that brand was from overseas SM.

But if its just natural PB you're after.. I emailed some wholesalers a while back looking for some, and apparently you can get the Kaiora Organic PB from these places in AKL:

- Huckleberry farms Green Lane

- Harvest wholefoods Grey lynn

- I E Produce Takapuna

- New Worlds

- Naturally organic Albany

Otherwise, there's the Ceres brand that's usually in the Organic section in Woollies, Foodtown and most health stores :nod:

[deegee]

Haven't looked at your journal in a long time, but looks like you have really come along with the weight, where is that pic taken ? it looks familiar

[poos_n_wees]

Thanks D :grin:

The hill's one of the bridal tracks at Totara Park in Manurewa.

[deegee]

I thought it was I used to run there too, some good tracks still go there sometimes always a hard run to do and I end up walking up some of the stairs !

Friday 11/7

13 weeks, 1 day

TRAINING - Off

CARDIO - Off

Had the cops around after work interviewing everyone on my street wrt the Home Invasion murder that happened recently (that poor woman lived 2 streets away from us!) So that took up most of the free time today that was supposed to be for training and cardio. Arghhh.

DIET - On

M1: 1/4c oats, 1/4c blueberries, 3 EWs, 1 scoop PP, 1 Tblsp flaxseed

M2: 90g tuna lite, apple, 1 tsp PB

M3: 185g chicken, nashi pear, 1 tsp PB (ran outta chicken :evil:)

M5: 200g chicken, 2c veges, 1 Tblsp olive oil

Day was Meh today. STARVING.

I think I may be PMS'ing. With Meal 4, I have this thing where I take my almonds and line them up smallest to biggest on my desk at work, then I eat them one by one. Anyway, I started to eat them today, then a coworker walks by and snaps one up (the biggest one!! :evil:) and eats it.

I swear, I was like ... then I got real pissy, and it carried on throughout the whole day.

The thing is, I only take 10 almonds with me to work 'cos I'd eat all of them if I took more.. and I didn't wanna go to the supermarket just to buy one almond ya know?!

I'm sure I'm starting to sound like a psycho with my OCD habits and weird phantom tingles and itches

[biggurl27]

haha no that is normal and if I took 20 I would eat them. You shouldn't be feeling starving hun, the days you do possibly have a little more fat, 1 tspn of flaxseed or PB and that will get you through it. Other days you will be fine, all depends on what you are training and how you are feeling. However, if it is indeed PMT then your stuffed as you do get hungry eh, well urge to eat. Hang in there, you're not nuts! haha no pun intended hehe

[poos_n_wees]

Thanks gal

I think it is PMS, 'cos Im craving chocolate something wicked.

Damn you estrogen!!!!1111!!

[teamfatboy]

Get yourself a ruler, one of those wooden ones... and then slap anyone who messes with your food upside the head with it!

Ten almonds ain't much, except when there's only nine left
