Declutter Week [Food Diary Mar 31]
No ‘diet/food-related’ theme this week.. I’ve gained a lot of momentum on the sorting through my possessions (for the 100-possession challenge) and have been continuing to “declutter” my stuff; sorting, organizing, reboxing, taking photos of things to sell/giveaway and uploading them to facebook groups and classified ad sites, etc. It’s time-consuming but worth it..one step closer to moving to the Sunshine Coast :).As a result, I haven’t really had time to update blog posts or do the diary much… so this week’s diary is a little more “scaled-down” than normal.. my plan: I purchased the following ingredients (on the 2nd of April, so 3 days into this week’s food diary):
- 1/2 Celery $1.10
- Bunch Kale $3
- Bunch Coriander $1.10
- 1/2 Butternut Pumpkin 85c
- 2 x Lemons 88c
- Bunch of Bananas $1.50
- 1 x Broccoli 58c
- 1 x Plum 51c
- Punnet Cherry Tomatoes $2
- Punnet Strawberries 500g $2.50
- 2 x Granny Smith Apples 70c
- 1 Head Migonet (Red-Leaf) Lettuce $2
- 1 Bunch Muscatel Grapes (Black, with Seeds)
- 1 Bunch Crimson Grapes (Red, Seedless)
- 2 x Avocados $3
- 1 Fresh Coconut $2.50
- 10 x Chicken Tenders $10
- 1 x Medium Tub of Mixed Deli Olives $7
…and I’ll just attempt to make healthy meals from the above. And take photos of each meal but upload the photos when I get to a computer. I wanted to do a juice fast this week but it will have to wait until next week as my body needs food this week.

Another work day..
- Fresh Juice (Carrot, Apple, Lemon, Celery)

Arrived home from work as my sister was about to pull out of driveway to go to KFC.. “coming for a drive?”.. yep.. jumped in, and we had a “carpet picnic” in front of Shrek on TV. 2 Pcs KFC, 1 Large Fries, Potato & Gravy. Can’t wait for my juice fast now.. hopefully can start that on Monday or Wednesday (working Tuesday so a bit hesitant to do a juice fast while working, but I’ll see how I go). Working again tomorrow morning.. craving a magnesium bath but everyone is already asleep, so hopefully can get one tomorrow afternoon. Early night tonight because early morning tomorrow.. and daylight savings adjust, have no idea which way the time goes.
