So, yesterday afternoon I had my first meeting with the dietitian (not my first ever, but first with this one). I was so nervous about it (especially about being weighed and measured) but it was not so bad and she was really sweet. All in all it was good. Goal weight = 68kgs. Current weight = 85.something kgs (cringe…). BF = 38.1% (even worse…). Meal plan is all about eating low gi and correct portions (especially of carbs, my weakness).
So the plan for this week (suppers) is:
- Mon – Hake fillet, baby potatoes, steamed veggies
- Tues – Leftovers from mon made into fish cakes, green beans, salad with avo
- Wed – chicken stew with rice (chicken, peppers, mushrooms, onions, etc)
- Thurs – beef stir-fry with rice
- Fri – chicken and tomato pasta
(very long after I promised it…sorry)
This is my ‘new’ training program (designed by C), that is specifically designed around my fibromyalgia. Hopefully I can gym or do boot camp again soon, but for now its mainly walking and stretching.
Anyhoo onto the program:
Monday – stretch and range of motion(AM), Pilates (PM)
Tuesday – stretch-15 min walk at 75%-stretch

Hey guys…
Sorry for the lack of blogging… I know I have seemingly fallen off the face of the earth. (I didn’t buy the way 
) My BFL challenge was going so well, then last week I got sick, and now I’m still not better. And I am having a lot of muscle and joint pain. I am not exercising at the moment at all (except for the daily walking with the puppy) and my eating has been TERRIBLE. Also C and I has decided that I must pause my challenge for now. I WILL come back to it as soon as I am feeling better and can do the exercise without hurting my body.
For the moment I will be doing a yoga and walking based program that C will write for me. And I will be seriously overhauling my eating. I will just be calling this my healthy living plan, because that is what it is
Hopefully a lot more meals and recipes and updates to come!
Have been having internet connectivity issues… 
Its been a rough few days, Cs away, its holy week, work is stressful, etc. So I have not been 100% on plan, but I’m not completely off either, just doing the best I can. Had a biscuit on tues (day 9) and cheese yesterday… Exercise has been abysmal….really struggle to be motivated when I’m alone. I have been taking the puppy for longer walks though.

Meal 1 – low GI wholewheat toast, egg, black coffee
Meal 2 – bran muffin with organic peanut butter
Meal 3 – lean ham and avo sandwich with ricotta
Meal 4 – apple and ham

Meal 6 – oat and chocolate biscuit
Food from day 10:

Meal 3 – slow cooker chicken tomato and green bean stew with mielie pap
Meal 4 – toast and avo
Meal 5 – pasta with ostrich meat balls and tomato and basil sauce, Tbsp (ish) of grated cheddar)
Yesterday was HARD…I really didn’t want to eat what I had packed at work (mainly because it was cold and I really wanted warm food), and the lower body workout was a killer. I slipped up a little with supper, my sister and I ate together, and I had 1/2 a biscuit.
