Hi Mermaid-
That was a great quote and just remember to take it one day at a time!! Even if you go off track , don't look at it as a failure , just tell yourself you "stumbled" a little bit , and tomorrow is a new day.
Cheating on your diet (just a little bit ) or missing a day or two at the gym is nothing compared to not TRYING at all , because at the end , it is the SUM of ALL the GOOD work you have done that will bring you to your goal.

Day 3
7.00am 6 egg whites (one yolk) scrambled, 1 kiwi
9.30am Whey protein shake made with 1 cup skim milk, 1/2 cup blueberries and 1 tbsp almond butter
Was in a meeting so had to stop for food when the others did - I was so hungry:
1.30pm Sardines, 1 cube feta, spinach salad, cucumbers, cherry toms, eggplant dip
4.30pm 1 1/2 cup vegetarian chili
8.30pm Can tuna, 1/2 cup yams, 1 cup skim milk
2 litres water, 2 cups green tea
1567 cals P44:C31:F26 Fibre 25g
Missed the gym again because of the meeting. I belong to a gym near the office and I work a 1 hour's drive from home. I was expecting to get out at lunchtime a bit more but that's proving harder than I thought. Tonight though, I did go to my bellydancing class. I do it for a bit of a giggle (still got the belly for it but want that to go!) and you do sweat quite a bit. I think the diet won't be as hard as I thought it would (though I haven't hit the weekend yet) but I've got to get my ass in the gym and start lifting.

Day 5
6.30am 1 cup hi bran cereal, 1 cup milk, 4 egg whites scrambled (one yolk)
9.30am 2/3 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1 tbsp almond butter
12.00am 1 small chicken breast, mixed green salad, 1/2 cup avocado
3.30pm Protein shake with 1 cup skim milk
Decided on having a cheat meal so:
7.00pm 3 slices thin crust supreme pizza, 3 small glasses white wine.
I was amazed how I didn't really enjoy it as much as I thought I would.
1879 cals P:34 C:30 F:26 A:11 Fibre 19g
I also had my body fat tested. The guy used sensor thing that he put on the top part of my bicep. Also took my height and weight. Told me that I was at 28%. I have Tanita scales which tell me I'm (average) 35%. I'll post some pics so I can monitor it visually. I'm sure I'm over 30% - I have back fat rolls!

Day 6
Saturday. Decided to go into work, finish up a few things then go to the gym. Was so pissed off because the gym was closed for a weekend town festival so another day I missed. I'm really disappointed with myself for not getting to the gym enough this week and next week will be worse as I am travelling Monday/Tuesday. I know I'm not going to be ble to reach my goals without lifting/cardio. I guess I've got to stop whining and just find a way to do it.
Anyway, had errands to run, got caught up at the mall (waiting for my pants to be fixed) and started to panic because I didn't want to go too long without food. Bought a choc protein bar, not TOO bad, (23g protein) but felt guilty for not eating real food. I've noticed that I'm thinking about food all the time, planning, buying, using fit day and then worrying about it. It's only been a week!
Using this log is good for me though, I didn't realise what a great tool a journal actually is.
8.00am
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup skim milk
1 tsp honey
1 cup egg whites
1 whole egg
11.30am
4 oz canned salmon
2 slices Performax fibre bread
2.30pm
Chocolate Protein Bar
4.30pm
1 cup canned tuna
1/2 avocado
1/4 cup salsa
Not enough water either, only 1 liter so far.
7.30pm
4oz lean beef steak
Spinach salad
1 cup cucumbers
1 cup tomatoes
sprinkling balsalmic vinegar
Another liter water
2 cups green tea

45 mins cardio, walk/jog, empty stomach
8.45am
1 cup hi bran cereal
3/4 cup skim milk
1 cup egg whites, 1 yolk
1/2 liter water
