Re-following since I somehow unfollowed. Congrats on the romantic interest. I will say that I read 'mi novia' as Minerva at first, so please have this congratulatory .gif:

Saturday: Feeling much than Friday, though still very tired. I suspect it may be the relief of being on uni break. Whenever we go on break I get sick (I keep pushing back the sick with "I don't have time to be sick", then when I relax- bam!) I've applied to have this trimester off uni so that I can get fully back on track (and hopefully plan some fitness goals for next challenge). 5-a-day Freggies: still not back on track as well as I would like- too many carby non-veggie options in the house, need to go shopping something awful. Made another veggie stock soup creation with some of the bags of frozen veggies and a potato 3/5. Half hour walk Walked with Mr to the music store to pick up his microphone so he can start streaming video games, glad I had him with me, because I was still very weak and we had to stop so I could rest a couple of times. Still managed the 30mins (around the rests, total was more like 50mins) 30/30mins Plastic free Jul-August I got a glass bottle of gingerbeer, which had plastic lining the metal top. .5/0.

Took Friday off work sick too - Mr had to call it in for me as I had no voice at all. I spent the whole day in bed, only emerging to drink lemon and honey and order pizza. I wish there was a healthy option that would bring me food to my door. Need to work on prepping some 'crisis meals' for the freezer so I have an on-the-spot option. It will have to be able to beat the 20min guarantee of the local pizza place and survive the freezer... 5-a-day freggies not a single freggie. No wonder I felt so lame... 0/5 Half hour walk Home sick from work again, no walking... 0/30mins. Plastic free Jul-August I asked Mr to buy me a can of Lemonade, they had no cans so he bought me a bottle. Once he got home he realised I asked for a can due to plastic, but by then it was too late. 1/0.

How can you tell? I also fried an onion first before I added the stock. Twas delicious Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

5-a-day freggies managed to hit this target again today despite being home sick and not going grocery shopping (I reckon it was the photos that did it). Banana, veggie soup (potato, cauliflower, mushrooms and onion) x2 serves 5/5 Half hour walk Home sick from work today, I have a cough and want to get checked out by the dr before I go back as one of my team is quite pregnant and I don't want to pass on any germs... 0/30mins. Plastic free Jul-August None of the big four. I also forgot that yesterday on my walk home I picked up a bag someone had dropped, so I was actually negative one of zero today = 0/0.

The day I took no food photos is the day I didn't hit 5 freggies... Coincidence? I think not! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The blind man watching him for some reason gave me chills- more so then being challenged by the captain of the guard (obviously Rurik can hold his own there). Yay for story and yay for all those rewards! You're gunna need a bigger backpack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

5-a-day freggies faltered on this one today, had another banana left, but wasn't keen. Banana x3, spinach on my bagel 4/5 (no pics, you guys know what a banana looks like ) br /> Half hour walk walked home from work 50/30mins. Plastic free Jul-August None of the big four 0/0. I made sure to sit at my desk today and my back feels better for it (I'm also following up with work wellbeing about getting a standing desk option out on the floor). TL greeted me this morning with a request for a 'favour', namely doing the two months of overdue stats reporting that he let pile up since I taught him how to do it two months ago (why yes that does mean he hasn't done any by himself). He asked me to email it to him so he could add the bits from his team before sending it to the manager. I sent it to him but ccd the manager in so he knows that I did 90% of it and TL tacked on a bit at the end. I hate drama, but I'm not going to get walked on trying to avoid it either...

Weight is a fickle thing- I had to get rid of the bathroom scales it was too tempting for me to check all the time. I found progress pics really helped for the changes I was looking for (for my it was seeing the change in my belly button, instead of squishing closed and pointing at the floor because of the fat above it, it started to face more to the front and look like a belly button not a line). Seeing as you are going for gains instead is there a measurement you can take as well as weight to see how you're tracking? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Forgot to update last night, had a crummy day and ended up having a unplanned nap at 6pm, really threw off my groove... 5-a-day freggies Stall made 5 despite crumminess, avo on toast, roast carrot, zucchini and sweet tater, apple 5/5 br /> Half hour walk walked home from work 50/30mins. Plastic free Jul-August None of the big four 0/0. I'm getting easily frustrated by the team leader at the moment, I'm sure he's not picking on me particularly and it's just my brain cranking because he got the position and not me... But it feels like picking on when he made me take down all my personal stuff from my desk (one photo of my family, my uni timetable) and then made me move desks to 'shake things up a bit' and put me with what used to be his team (they combined the teams). I asked (told) to be put back on my old desk today because being on that desk aggravated my back pretty badly, we shall see how things progress... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You spent seven HOURS in the saddle?! My buttinski died just hearing about it. Buns of (what's that super light strong stuff they make bikes from? Carbon fibre! I feel you on the tiger balm, perhaps tmi but one time Mr put tiger balm on my back then tried for naked funtimes- shortest preamble and longest cold bath I've ever had.

5-a-day freggies Just made five again today by making up a healthy DnD platter. Apple, 2 carrots, snap peas, strawberries. 5/5 Half hour walk I finished my exam quite early so I went for a nice long walk, 90/30mins. Plastic free Jul-August Only allowed clear plastic water bottles, and your valuables needed to be in a see through ziplock. I had a plastic bottle in the freezer which I was able to use, I borrowed one of the provided zip locks then gave it back at the end. A big risk of using plastic but none in the exam. We had pizza however, and the sides came in a plastic bag 1/0. I finished my exam an hour and a half early and I left no questions blank so I'm hopeful. Because the exam is a 'must pass' task I need to have got 25marks to pass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

5-a-day freggies Just made five again today. Avocado on toast, Apple, spicy mushrooms, a double serve of sweet potato. 5/5 Half hour walk Studying kills this pretty bad, didn't even leave the house :/ 0/30mins. Plastic free Jul-August Didn't leave the house, very easy to hit this goal 0/0. Studying was my focus but it was difficult to stick to- I did the maths and I only need to get 3 marks on the exam to pass the subject, which makes it pretty hard to motivate studying.

5-a-day freggies Just made five today. Mr's mum and sister came to visit and we went out for dinner so I didn't end up batch cooking, although I did pre cook some carrots and zucchini that we're starting to go a bit floppy. Carrot, passion fruit, kiwi fruit, Apple, salad with guac. 5/5 Half hour walk Did two laps of the food street before deciding and I did a bit of walking earlier in the day, unsure of exact times, so counting it as 30/30mins. Plastic free Jul-August Dinner was take away but we managed to come out of it with minimal plastic damage- 2plastic bags to carry the foil boxes home... I'm not counting it as a loss since my mother In law to be took one bag with her and I used the other to line my bin. 0/0. Studying was better today but again I expect bigger and better things tomorrow! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! Somethings come easily plastic free, somethings are super hard! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not big on training specifics, but I like your colour coding yay tables! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

5-a-day freggies My last day of this batch of food prep. Because I wasn't at work I mixed up the order and had subway for lunch (huzzah plastic free takeaway) and 'lunch' for dinner. I need to make sure I meal prep tomorrow since it really makes the difference to, as Sloth puts it, not eat like an asshole. Banana, a mandarin, a pear, carrot, zucchini and capsicum, cauliflower, salad on the sub. 7/5 = RANGERED! Half hour walk Did a dedicated 30mins (timer and all) through the shops looking for a bathroom bin option that wasn't smothered in plastic, I also did a fair bit of untimered walking with the Mr on date lunch- we missed the bus so walked three stops until the next one came along, I estimate 20mins. 50/30mins. My battery was almost flat so I didn't hatch a single egg Plastic free Jul-August Spent a bit of extra time eating date lunch in rather than taking away, specially chose a bin that didn't have a plastic wrapper (the irony of choosing a recycling bin for the bathroom loo rolls that was wrapped in plastic would have been too much for me). While Mr isn't doing plastic free he is supporting me in it and today borrowed my keeper fork to eat his icecream rather than taking a plastic spoon, perhaps I am rubbing off...? 0/0. Studying was practically non existent, I located my textbook from the moving boxes and submitted an assessment piece which was already done, I expect bigger and better things tomorrow!

I love it because it's almost like swearing at work xp the coffee shop peeps always get a kick out of it as well. carrot sticks to the rescue! I always say that I can't cook, but when I pull my finger out and actually try I'm not all that bad, just full of excuses. Freggies always make things fun and colourful too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

5-a-day freggies I had all the same things for lunch as yesterday plus a banana smoothie which means another great big success! Banana, a mandarin, a pear, carrot, zucchini and capsicum, cauliflower, kiwi fruit, passion fruit. 8/5 = RANGERED! Half hour walk Walked home, 49mins. 49/30mins. Not sure if this was way longer or if I caught more Pokemon... Plastic free Jul-August None of the main plastic problems, ate dinner at eat street and requested the cardboard option instead of the plastic plate. It was going super well until I got soup in a bun- for some reason I didn't realise they would give me a plastic spoon *sigh* one for the dilemma bag I guess... 0/0. I have tomorrow off work to study for an exam on Monday, but I'm hoping to still hit all my goals, even without the 'easy' option of walking home (perhaps I'll do a poke walk in the sunshine if I get a bunch of study done early.

I've been training myself not to use produce bags in general, which in turn is reminding me to rinse my freggies before I eat them. I have a couple of produce-ish bags similar to the ones Maigahane mentioned that I made out of some old curtains for small things like mushrooms to keep them under control for the checkout person. I often go through the self-service aisle if I am feeling self conscious because I can take my time. If I'm going through a standard register I put all my bags at the front of my shopping and ask for no plastic when the assistant greets me. As for marinating I usually put it in a casserole dish with a lid and if it's the casserole dish I want to cook it in just set it on a plate and wash it out before putting in the oven (unless I'm cooking it in the sauce). Ziplock bags can also be washed and used again which I have been doing for anything crumbed/shaken in seasoning that the Mr makes- I just wash the ziplock when he's done. Those bags look great, and much more reasonably priced than some others I've seen- a good option for the non-sewers, or as you received them, gifts.

5-a-day freggies success!a mandarin, a pear, carrot, zucchini and capsicum, kiwi fruit, passion fruit. 6/5 Half hour walk Walked home, 45mins. 45/30mins.
