chocolate & pb
Peanut butter and chocolate. Together… Why does it do this to me!?!?! I was so strong - so damn regimented with my eating plan - that’s why I haven’t blogged here for so long.
I got sick a while ago - I felt so tired, my limbs were heavy and I was losing weight. I could FEEL my muscles deteriorating every day. I was losing half a kilo daily, and ended up weighing 43kg; I looked like Nicole Richie’s evil sister. I thought I was dying, but doctors did every test you can imagine (i mean that) and told me I wasn’t. I needed to gain weight - my months and months of hard work meant nothing; I had boney arms and hips, and hollow abs - back to square one. I gave in to a long-time fantasy of mine - I ate an entire 375g jar of (natural!) peanut butter using chunks of (sugar free!) chocolate as my spoons. It took over a month to budge the scales. I still eat chocolate and peanut butter every day, but now I’m back to hard training and, although I don’t look too bloody bad, I know my results would be far more spectacular if I could just QUIT !!! 
I plan to put a new pic on my profile shortly, so that should be motivation enough.
My training plan now includes weights, running, (kick)boxing and bootcamp classes. I know I should get into yoga or something for my flexibility and balance, but I’m more of a combat girl.
This weekend I plan to go for a beautiful scenic run in the grounds of the Western Plains Zoo !! It will be great to actually sleep at the zoo accommodation and wake up to do the ‘feed the animals’ tour with the keeper (never mind they’re predicting sub-zero temperatures). I’m already planning my cooler pack contents, probably lots of healthy salads, fruits, veg protein, yoghurt, protein powder, H2O…and Darrell Lea Sugar Free Chocolate and 100%peanuts all-natural peanut butter.
