8.00am Gym
30 mins steady state cardio - on treadmill
~215 cals burned

Homemade oatmeal pancakes - made them again as P tried them yesterday and loved them. I was pleasantly surprised - this will end up being a weekend staple.
1/4 cup blueberries
1 tbsp almond butter
2/3 cup egg whites scrambled
Multi, zinc, flax, sesamax, 2 levorex
750ml water
A larger meal than normal but was starving.

1 cup cottage cheese
1 tbsp cranberry sauce - got a taste for it lately
500ml water
3.00pm
4oz chicken breast
1 tbsp cranberry sauce
500ml water
3.30pm
1 1/2 cups chocolate ice cream - oops - on an impulse
Then quickly took 2 Glucorell-R and 2 Sesamax, 2 levorex
500ml water
7.30pm
4oz beef fillet
1/2 cup asparagus
1 Sesamax, 2 Levorex

Had intended to go back to the gym this afternoon but the heat and malaise took over (hence the ice cream treat). So P and I will drag each other's a$$es tomorrow night for my first lifting session in a few weeks. Oh, this is gonna hurt.

We just got our first snow fall here yesterday. It was light, but I am so not a fan of winter. Believe it or not, 100 degree heat actually sounds good to me right now!!

It was SO hot. Lacking in water, not enough fiber, need to add more veggies.
The gym was harder than I thought so I will not over do it for the first week or so - it feels like I haven't been in months!

Ahhhh, didn't those endorphins kick in!!!!
Back on track! 
I can relate in the way of trying "not to over do it" ...mermaid said:
I've had a bit of the opposite effect, jumped right back in and wanted more more more.
I literally have to check myself often, decrease the weight and then force myself to leave the gym, after starting back up as of late.
I'm sure it will fade as time contraints always pop up ... and soon to be more snow
