Day 19

Friday at last!!! I can look forward to lazing around all weekend reading, my favourite thing to do!

With the weather being really crappy I was feeling like a nice warm lunch so I decided to have some Asian food. I am a huge fan of Simply Asia and just wanted something to chew. As a punishment my meal got to me being medium chilli instead of mild, needless to say I found a cure for a blocked nose. 

My meals for today isn't too bad 

Breakfast:
Herbalife shake with milk

Snack: 
Banana

Lunch: 
Simply Asia Mushroom Roasted Chilli Paste Stir-Fry

Snack: 

I don't think this will be needed as I am still full from lunch :) 

Dinner: 

Butternut soup made with sweet potato thanks to Tam. 

I'm quite looking forward to spending the night with her seen as we haven't had a girly sisters day in a while! 

Omelette

Right so to make my omelette is used

3 eggs
Basil pesto

Cheddar cheese
Feta cheese
Coconut oil
Pepper to taste

1. In a bowl mix eggs, basil pesto and pepper
2. Heat up coconut oil and pour egg mix into pan

I quite like cooking so this is right up my alley!

Where are we?

Ok so I totally lost track of where i was.

I got sick after I started doing my health change and it took me more than a week to get over the nasty infection. On the plus side I did lose 4.8kgs which I am trying to keep off now that i am eating again.

I have recently started a muscle challenge which is so hard but my muscles hurt afterwards which i totally love!

Today would be day 17 of my journey and this is what I ate

Breakfast:
Herbalife Shake

Snack:
2 Provita cookies and coffee (1 canderel)

Lunch:
Mixed salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, feta and lemon juice) mixed with 2 boiled eggs

Snack:
Woolies slimmers choice casava chips

Dinner:
Meat balls with salad and mash sweet potato

Today is my rest day so I wont be exercising tonight  :)

Day 1

Today was day 1, which wasn't very bad.

I have been in bed all day with flu but I still had my shake for breakfast.
I had a banana for lunch and then steamed chicken and 2 cups of veggies with cottage cheese for dinner, Feeling really horrible I have no drive to go exercise, which would be a bad idea seeing as I get out of breath just going to the toilet! 

Here's to hoping this flu and crap cough will get better so I can start doing my exercise :) 

The Chapter Changes

So with my sister getting worse and me getting scared I have decided that I will donate my kidney to help save her. I would do this in a heartbeat but I do have 1 problem, I am overweight! 

We do not know for sure if my kidney will be needed as they might be able to save the 1 she currently has but I will still need to get my arse in gear for in case I am needed. 

I have 2 chicks doing the weight loss with me and we going to be sharing meals and exercise so we not alone. 

I have to be a healthy weight so there wont be any complications during the surgery... that means I will have to be about 66kgs which would make my BMI in the normal weight category. With this it means I will have to loose 30kgs in total (Yikes!!!) 

I have it all planned out. Take my before pictures this weekend, indulge in the wine I have been so craving, have the last bit of take away foods and then it's right down to the nitty gritty. 

Last night i walked on the treadmill for 15 minutes, I thought I was going to die I am so unfit. I see it as I have to start somewhere so I take it as a + for me :)
