Day 2: My house smells like lamb, mint and garlic!

So day one finished without any major hitches, I managed to get the groceries and eat my proper meals. I also even got off my butt and excersised (excersise is a big deal for me). Although I only made it through half of my watermelon requirement before I had to stop and have something with more calories. Yesterday's lunch was delicious and super pretty looking, so much so that I had to stop and take a photo. 

Today has been pretty run of the mill, breakfast average - stayed full for ages though. Lunch was my favourite so far, it's didn't plate up as prettily as yesterday's but I'm a sucker for lamb. Warm pumpkin with lamb and pomegranate salad, and a tasty little garlic and mint yogurt dressing. Of course because I'm lazy I blended the mint and garlic instead of chopping them and now my whole house smells like lamb, garlic and mint. 

I'm definitely not complaining. 

Day one: good thing I like watermelon

So, first day of 12wbt is shaping up to be extremely interesting. 

(Time for background info I suppose)

My fiancé and I have a very low income to begin with, but over the past couple of weeks have been doing it even tougher than usual with some issues meaning my payments have been suspended and his dodgy boss owing him more than three week of income. This has left us struggling to get by on the meager pittance he gets from his restaurant job. As you can imagine we are behind in most of our bills and there are next to no groceries in the house. 

Back to what I was saying. 

Breakfast this morning was easy enough to do. I had quinoa in the cupboard and everything else in the recipe was basic every day ingredients. Lunch and dinner, well, I have no idea at all how I am going to manage to make them, but I'll give it my best shot. 

The part that has amused me so thoroughly is my prescribed snacks today were some slices of watermelon with a feta cheese and olive mixture. Obvious I don't have the cheese or olives, I did however have a rather large watermelon in the fridge. So I hit google. How much watermelon do I need to eat, over the period of today, to make up my snack allowance you ask? Oh just, you know, a casual 1.16kgs! 

And so it begins.

So this is my introductory post. I haven't used blogger in quite a long time. I believe since about 2010 when I switched to tumblr, but I wanted to start writing again and I want to truly document my experiences of the next step I am taking towards changing my life. 

Since age 17 I have been seriously overweight. Since yesterday I embarked on a journey to change that when I joined the Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation. This blog will be used to document my journey and any subsequent happenings after the program. 

I look forward to sharing my journey with you.
