Day 8

I'm not seeing as much change as I thought I would :-(
I don't know if it's because I'm exhausted from running around, or if I haven't been eating right lately, or that I haven't been strength training as regularly as I'm supposed to. Something has to change if I'm going to get that beach bod I've been dreaming of.

Day 3

Breakfast: cheese omelette with bacon
Lunch: shredded chicken, tomato salsa, and guacamole
Dinner: leftover mussels, cheese plate, and salami

Workout: finally did some Primal Essential Movements [PEM] and played 25 minutes of Dance Central with hubby ...

My body is killing me!

Day 2

Breakfast - one Scotch egg [cold]

Lunch - Sashimi

Dinner - Mussels in mustard cream sauce & Blue Fish

Observations: my eczema looks a lot better:

And my allergist says I look thinner :-D

Reboot - Day 1

Breakfast: Cheese and Fruit
Lunch: Taco salad with chicken
Dinner: Yook Gae Jung soup

Decided to start another 21-Day Transformation ... but this time with Hubby! He's responsible for following through on all the 21-days of activity that needs to be done. My job is to follow through on the exercise. Bikini season is nearing fast ... must reach Beach Bunny mode!

Sorry

I haven't been in much of a blogging mood ... I'm still in mourning over my cat, who passed away on Monday while I was away at work. It has been a shock for me, and I'm still dealing with the hole she left behind in my life.

I miss you :'(

So lively a month ago ... I can't believe you're gone :'(

Day 13 - Macaroni Grill

Definitely not Primal ... I had a small steak and Bibb salad ... which according to the menu was not gluten-free.

Day 12

Ate at Legal Seafood for the first time. Ordering from the gluten free menu was kinda entertaining.
I didn't know gluten free could look so good.
