Day 9: the dreaded weigh-in

When I left England back in April 2014, I weighed in at around 52 kilos. I wasn't particularly happy with my weight back then but after hopping on the scales at the gym today I'd kill to have that as my starting point! A year and a quarter's worth of travelling has seen me pile on 3 kilos (55.2 kilos) which I would very much like to shed before my visa is up. I wish I'd weighed myself when I first arrived before I embarked on a vegan and fitness regime - it would be interesting to know whether I've lost anything so far (if so I don't even want to think about what I weighed before!). Anyway, today:

Breakfast - an orange

Lunch - 2 fresh bread rolls (whoops - I discovered vegan butter for the first time) and a sugary tea :(

Afternoon snacks - a handful of cashews and blueberries

Dinner - mango, avocado and macadamia salad. I stumbled across this recipe online yesterday and tweaked it a little by adding blueberries and using spinach leaves instead of whatever weirdo leaves they wanted me to use (rocket or something a bit bleurgh). Been a bit naughty today gorging on fruit and bread but hey ho - still better than pizza and cake!

Activity - cycle to gym, 30 min run, Bodystep class, cycle to work. I don't think I'll be going back to the Bodystep class; I was so busy trying to learn the steps that I don't feel like I got a good workout. The run was good though :) I joined the gym this morning - for some reason I hate running outside but I'm happy on the treadmill, and the classes should be good. Got a couple more to try before I figure out which ones are for me but overall good decision!
