Lets talk about Friday!

So we need to talk. Yep we do, and no messing about here lad. What happened Friday? But what didn't happen Friday? 

Friday's vlog on my You Tube channel can be found here but its what I didn't discuss that I want to talk about here. 

Friday I needed to up the food intake and as mentioned in the vlog its started well and lunch time became a little experiment with noodles and a little thing I touched on also. Hunger!

After the noodles I felt HUNGRY! Feed me hungry, feed me more hungry! Those levels I thought wouldn't return so soon but they did almost as soon as I finished the noodles. Now instead of looking to eat more straight after I drank 2 big classes of water instead - WIN!

The week that was - Week 1 July 9 - 15

So Monday was weigh in day and that's been documented in the earlier post with video to the weigh in and also a walk ramble.

Tuesday 10th

Basically it went to shit around 11 am when I received the builders report on a house I am in the process of purchasing. The main issue and what drove the rest of the days thoughts was the discovery of Borer. The last thing I wanted to see and from there on the day slowly deteriorated. To know more and also see what I was thinking etc check out the video on my You Tube channel  HERE

In regards to food its also mentioned in the vlog, but you can see below that I was over the daily targets and that's down to the 2 pkts of lollies I consumed

So......Nothing logged Wednesday as that was always the plan due to a special day in the works.
But where is the rest of the week you ask...?

Weekend look back - Lengthy post!

Friday was all the buzz, inspiration, motivation of a new start as can be expected. Kicked off well with the new post, logging the breakfast/lunch in MFP and even a 2 km walkies before picking up my daughter from school. 

Normally I stop at the bakery (Best in Aucks) grab a quiche, couple chorizos and maybe a topper etc, today however it was just a roast beef sandwich.
At the halfway point of my walkies I stopped at a usual place and decided to vlog bits on phone (as yet not together and unsure if will post) and where I stopped for lunch. This point has great memories  as this is where my daughter and I would always stop at on our bike rides to grab a bite to eat before continuing the 5-7 km cycle back home. A place where we would talk about anything and everything, give each other shit about things in general and also appreciate where we were. 
Pic taken from stopping of point:

Anyway back on point. School pick up done then the drive (or better crawl) back on motorway to where I am currently holed up and the dinner choice.....McDonald's it ended up being. 

All Aboard

So I find myself here again 4 years since my last post, and how things have changed! 

Life as always is full of twists and turns. The train of life has numerous stops and I decided to get off at the "close off from the world and give up" station. I even found a comfy place to stay and allowed all the positives to unravel as I stayed in the room and closed off.  
I had purchased a few tickets to get back on the train again but as the day to departure arrived I allowed my insecurities and the comforts of the familiar closed in walls from preventing me boarding the train - I think here the lyrics from Hotel California "You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave"

Well I beg to differ! I am checking out and I plan to leave! The only person that can stop me from doing so is me, and I am NOT going to let that happen! I have the ticket and the train is at the platform and guess what???  

Trying to find the alternate route.

I don't know what the f@uk I am doing! I had planned to have a new blog post up last Sunday, and now here I am completely lost, and devoid of the inspiration I so had a few weeks ago.
I had finally found something I could manage, something that would keep me full and rid me of the hungers I so often succumbed to. 

 Lets see if I can make some sense of the happenings lately. Firstly it has been a very long time since my last post, which ended on the high of my Color Run, with all roads ahead for me. Seems I took the wrong road from early February and I'm still trying to find the alternate route.

Basically from the high that was completing the Color Run I plateaued, lost motivation and seemed to slump into the inevitable. But there was one difference, compared to pretty much the year before, and that was I never allowed myself to completely give in. Wasn't going to happen, and I just searched for a new direction to take towards my long term goal.
