Fresh Starts

OK so after a week of crazy work hours followed by a week of intense illness, gym, running and healthy eating pretty much went out the window. It's safe to say my state of mind and motivation levels haven't been the strongest over the last two months...everything has just been a bit 'meh' BUT despite this and still having a bit of a chesty cough this week, something has changed, clicked over so to speak and I am pumping with determination to make a fresh start: get back on track! I'm sick of feeling ill and dumpy, that and well I have my ten year reunion coming up in less than four weeks.

The best thing to come out of the last two weeks was the fact that any weight I put on, I completely lost last week, but my fitness levels have unfortunately also disappeared. So it was back to the gym yesterday and today. Also time to get back into consistent good eating patterns....that means no chocolate or packet chips from the bar downstairs...Ughhh...the beginning is always so tough!

I'm adding these vitamins/nutrients back into my diet this week as well:

Fresh Sugar Cane Juice -250ml
Coconut Oil - 3 tablespoons
Fish Oil - 6000mg

The fresh sugar cane juice is a newbie, hadn't heard of it before Sunday. Dad just popped by with a two litre bottle of the stuff after running into an old family friend at the local markets who makes it... as you do. Apparently its 'good' for diabetics. I don't know if that is good as in 'brings blood sugars down/helps keep them stable' or good as in 'suitable' as in not too high in sugar, not high GI. I'm trying to research by means of self testing and googling but would love to hear if anyone has tried it or heard anything themselves!
