Bits n bobs.
So far No Junk January hasn't worked out as well as I'd hoped. However, I choose to look at the positives. I have definitely eaten healthier. I do feel like I feel better. A few slip ups does not undo my hard work.
I had a plan to catch up with an old high school friend this week. Unbeknownst to me, she had another old high school mate staying with her. I went all '16 year old excited' when I saw her get out of the car. I almost ran up to her! They were only here for 3 hours but it was awesome. We went through my high school photo album, as well as the year books. Insane shit.
I'd just had some books delivered and they were on the couch. Ange picked one up and we started talking about the Tomorrow When The War Began series. She commented she'd like to get her daughter into reading them. Last night. I ordered the whole set for her. She doesn't know. Can't wait until she gets them!
Yesterday I took bun to the vets. She was desexed earlier in the week so she needed a check up. The vet wasn't good with bunny and bunny got upset. Bunny shed extra allergens and I reacted. Badly. Within an hour my eye was swollen shut. Its still swollen 24 hours later. But at least I can see.

No Junk January
So I went to the pet store and weighed myself on Thursday. Then spent thurs and fri in bed with a migraine. Saturday was a bit full on so on Sunday I went grocery shopping. I spent $130 on fresh food. I pledged to do No Junk January for the remainder of the month.
So Sunday I made fruit salad, prepped veggies for steaming through the week, made a bunch of ready-to-go salads for work and marinated a few bags of lean chicken breast for cooking pretty much straight from the oven.
I also made breakfast muffins. Which are damn yummy but a bit fiddly to make. So i doubled the batch to last longer. Recipe to follow.
After spending the day on the kitchen, i had nothing for dinner and no cooking mojo. So i had lasagne. It was cheesy and greasy and altogether... a bit too much. But its gone now.
Today i did well. Breakfast muffin for brekky. Fruit salad for morning tea, salad for lunch, fruit salad for arvo tea, almonds to nibble on. I had steak out for dinner, but i was ravenous when i got home and it world take too long to cook, so i had an extra snack of white corn tortilla chips and dip.
I know, I know. Tortilla chips? I had them already, they were open and they were there. I thought the basil dip would be ok. Then i checked the label. 34% fat. Fail.
Again. Something I already had.
So dinner was a delicious steak, some oversteamed veggies and mashed sweet potato with abouta tablespoon of butter to bring it together.
And fuck me, but eating healthy today was hard work.
