June 13: exercise: Shred with weights

June 14: My Mum's 70th because I was worried about binging at the do I ended up eating too many freshly baked chocolate granola bars (made for my 16 year old to gain some weight...). Skipped dessert at the do. exercise: Kathy smith
June 15: S day already eaten too much
...hope tomorrow I'm more careful. I swam 32 laps
June 16: The one thing I can say is that I didn't binge but boy did I eat. It was as if I was obsessed with getting all my treats in a 24 hour period. I feel really yucky this morning and added a kilo to my already large number on the scale...exercise: tae bo
June 17: exercise

although I did add seconds..my plate was too small..well I have to watch that type of excuse

June 20: exercise
Food:
June 21: exercise a lot of it. Went to the center of town walked from the central bus-station about 30 min and then back again later on...+ 20 minutes when I went to meet my Mum for lunch. Food: OK but not great choices
June 22: S day kind of let lose on myself in the kitchen. As this is a cooking day I spend most of it in the kitchen and end up tasting and eating far too much. Exercise: Kathy smith
June 23: S day overate far too much.
Exercise: Zumba and Ripped in 30
June 24: Food: ate 4 meals. I tend to have to go in the kitchen straight after work and that's the worst time for me...as I just eat anything in sight.
June 25: Food
Exercise: Ripped in 30 and Tae bo. What works for me is to split the exercise in two. 30 minutes am and 30 minutes pm
June 26: Food: hmm not sure yet as we are out at a Bar Mitzvah tonight...will see what I choose to eat. I split lunch as I was out at a conference about Raw Food and had two of their crackers with spread but an hour later when I was home had an apple and rice cake with pb.
Tried to control myself at the do but I did overeat. I didn't have the meat in the meal but there was lots of food on offer. What I was proud of was ordering a drink that was too sweet it had 7up I don't drink that stuff ever. So I looked at my pretty drink and left it at the table. They had an amazing fruit selection and that was far too much..
June 27: Food: semi ok during the day but then at night
I binged so badly. I was 23 days without a binge and I screwed up big time. At least I binged on healthyish food..nuts and chocolate rice crispies bakes, but I ate so much I couldn't eat till way past lunch the following day
June 28: :oops 15 minutes of walking (got to work early so took a walk around the block) but no other exercise. Food ok. Did eat too much granola at nighttime but no binge
June 29: S day. Grazed and tasted food all day. This is my cooking day so I have made peanut butter, almond butter, paleo banana bread, roasted pumpkin (the first CSA pumpkin this year), chicken breasts for tonight, taco meat for tomorrow, preserved lemons (my kids friends parents have a lemon tree), quinoa and zucinni bake, coconut cream + papaya + pineapple and pineapple juice, 1 tbs honey blended together and set in fridge.
Roasted eggplant (with home made tahini filling), roasted garlic (to add to salads in the week), lettuce and spinach washed, spun and put in bags in the fridge.
Roasted desiccated coconut and roasted pumpkin seeds.
Exercise: Went swimming with my 13 year old and got 32 laps in. It is so
hot here that I was so happy.
I am going to join the July challenge too. What works for me is to be a bit more flexible so I need 3-4 meals a day, no seconds, no snacks, no sweets. sometimes even 5 depending on what I am doing that day.
I want to commit to 5 days of exercise.
I haven't lost any weight this month but I did only binge once which is huge for me.
