Quote for the week:
"Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough."
Og Mandino
OK Week 5 - I will treat this as a fresh week... no use focusing on my screw ups of last week I need to focus on how to make this better and reach my goal.
This week I WILL follow this diet how it was intended - I won't have any cheat nights only the cheat DAY on saturday. I will also start back up at my gym and start an exercise plan into my weekly schedule. No excuses I need to be strong and say no to any temptations!
Oh and NO Wine this week - I don't really need it and I'm sure I will do better without the extra calories.
Sunday - Day twenty-nine
weight: no weigh in
I ate clean today - who am I kidding I love this food.. look how yum it all looks, much better than the cheat day foods and make me feel sooo much better!
Did 1 hour ice pack on the neck tonight while I watched Jackass 3.

Couldn't believe the scales when I stepped on them this morning... I hope that most of this is water weight. This is week 5 and I truely believe if I followed this properly from the start I would of lost more weight/inches. BUT I have 7 weeks to go and I can make these count!

Feeling much better about the scales this morning - no wine last night but did 100 kettlebell lifts in a row which is much more positive for this diet... Need to keep up all my extra things like water, ice packs and exercise everyday.
This is week 5 and I have read that a lot of women have a good loss on week 5 so - here is hoping it happens to me too ;)

I'm loving my chicken salads so much this week... I could seriously have them for all meals! My breakfast this morning I used egg whites from a carton I found them at Coles in the freezer section, they tasted pretty good - although I might add some veggies with them next time to make them a little more interesting.
Feeling slimmer today clothes are feeling loose - not falling off at all though, but I can tell that my body is changing.

OK my weight is UP again WTF... I've hit a bit of a slow on my weight loss over the last few weeks... only really had good weight loss the first week and the other weeks up and down up and down. I won't give up though... have to not let the numbers on the scales put me off too much. It's cheat day tomorrow I hope I can at least have a better weight in the morning. I will take photos this weekend and post them up on Monday.. I hope I can at least see a visual differance after 5 weeks to keep me motivated.

You can do it! That chicken salad looks so yum... and the chicken/ broccoli/ mushroom stirfry meal from last week looked great too. I had scrambled eggs this morning with a few (5?) bits of semi-sundried tomatoes in it - it was so tasty.
I was bad on Friday night too (if it makes you feel any better). I got drunk and ate MEGA dessert. My first slip-up! And yesterday I was sooo tired - maybe a result of all the shitty food on Saturday??
Let's do it right this week and reap the bennefits. xx
BTW, I don't know how you drink so much water! I feel like I'm drowing with 2L a day.

Thanks Kate - that chicken salad is by far the best thing I have eaten on this diet - I will post some recipies for those two dishes if you are keen ;) yum scrambled egg with sun dried tomato sounds yum! might have to try it.
I felt really bad posting to my blog that I had screwed up last weekend - but I made a pledge from the very begining to be 100% honest. I still feel heaps crap from the weekend... can't wait till I feel normal again!
I LOVE water and always have a 1.5ltr bottle of cold water next to me at my desk, I find drinking water wards of hunger a bit :-)

Oh - and I'm going to start kettlebell-ing this week. Have you been doing those much?

Yeah I have a 12kg kettle bell at home, have done them a bit but not enough to notice the difference... This week I will be adding in exercise - I hope it will make a difference.

I had a terrible Wednesday. I was homesick and miserable and ate refined carbs like a crazy person, and I had three glasses of skim milk (total weakness)!
I have been good since then, but I haven't weighed myself to see where my naughty binge left me. I will weigh in tomorrow morning before my real cheat day begins. *sigh*
Yesterday I drank a whole 3 L of water and felt awesome for it. I'm going to try and keep up my water consumption on my cheat day too... anyway... don't be discouraged about the .9 this morning, eh? This has still been a good week for you - and wait till you do your measurements!! I'm sure it will be good. :)
