And I will have:
7.30pm
Small chicken breast, baked, stuffed with
1/4 cup red bell pepper

Not the best day, foodwise, too much fat.

Getting on a flight at 6am in the morning and am planning the food already. Taking a cooler with boxed portions and also including ready made bars/shakes just in case.

Week 2
Got up 4.30am to catch flight to Sydney. Packed a cooler full of food for the next two days (most meals) to take on board. Felt a complete idiot at security as I had also packed a metal fork which obviously had to be confiscated. Didn't fancy eating cottage cheese with my fingers on the plane so had ready made shake and a banana instead. I'm now glad I brought the ready made food with me.
6.30am
Protein Revival Lo Carb Shake
1 banana
9.30am
1 cup cottage cheese
1 apple
2 cups green tea
Meeting postponed til 4pm. Could have slept in and caught the later flight

*Deep disgruntled sigh*
F@#$
I am questioning my commitment to this journey. I reread some of my journal from yesterday and the part where my meeting had been postponed and I said that I could have slept in and got the later flight. Why didn't I say, oh, I could have done some HIIT cardio on an empty stomach before I got the later flight. Didn't even cross my mind at the time.
Also, last night, met my friend (one of the two I have in Australia) and let the diet plan go. Had two vodka martinis (on an empty stomach, have no problem doing that!) then had beef lasagne, salad, french bread and half a chocolate tart. Blew it and it wasn't supposed to be a cheat meal.
Woke up this morning feeling a bit hungover (I can't remember the last time I felt like that after just two drinks). Even thought about embellishing the truth in this log but what's the point of that. Anyway, I need to reread Daisy_Girl's post about sacrifice, commitment etc and keep up with the other girl's logs.
And start again today.
8.00am (At hotel breakfast buffet)
2 poached eggs
1 tomato
1 cup button mushrooms (no fat added)
1/2 cup baked beans
8 prunes
1 liter water, 2 cups green tea
Also got my period. Oh happy day.

Holy shit 
Took those pics and I'm mortified. I am so much bigger than I think I look in the mirror. I am in denial on so many levels. So to add to my personal shame, I will post them in this log:
Warning - not for the faint hearted:
[Will repost later from another host service]
There's nothing like possible public humiliation to keep you on the right track.
