Pork Souvlaki with homemade tzatziki for dinner. I did want wholemeal pittas but the local was out, so rice or quinoa will go along with that and some lettuce leaves.

No sugar or white flour today

I walk Finn 3.5 miles everyday and my legs were so rubbery and ouchy from yesterday's running workout that it took us over an hour to do it. I recorded the longer time so, YAY?

Lunch because, for me, it's always about the food. So far no refined sugars today.

Greek salad with feta cheese, Kalamata olives, bell peppers, organic herb salad mix with spinach, and broccoli (not Greek, just because I can)

Also, Middle Eastern Chick-Pea and Potato. Greece is next to the Middle East so while the spices are different the ingredients of potato, tomato, and chick-peas is a combination found in Greek food.

You guys are doing awesome! @tangledthread, your meals look and sound delicious! I haven't gone shopping yet for some proper Greek food, but I did have sardines in delicious extra virgin olive oil on some triscuit crackers for lunch, I'm pretty sure that should count!

Today I pushed hard to put a good dent in my minutes, I did circuit training, Pilates, went for a walk with my little boys in the frozen tundra that is the long driveway/road to my house, back and forth, twice, and I also did the arm and squat challenges. For a total of 67 minutes.

I wanted to ask, I don't have a scale but I do weigh in on Sunday afternoons religiously, will that be ok? I don't really want to have a scale around to obsess over.

Hope you're all having a good day!

Sweet, thanks!

@SamandaIndia are you saying that it's possible that you won't be able to eat cheese too? Or the hope is that you can add cheese back to your diet? Either way, I hope that it's figured out you start feeling better. Food intolerance aren't any fun.

@Dex_ sardines in olive oil is about as Greek as it gets. I like the ones in mustard sauce. yum.

I'm not sure if I have done the nutritional challenge or not. I had a slim fast shake this morning. I'm not sure if that is considered to have refined process sugar or not. What do ya'll think.

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a good day! I probably had my most active day ever today. Arm challenge and squat challenge done before work. Spent 3 hours packing a container before I called it quits. Fitbit gave me 138 active minutes for that so that's what I recorded it as. Also had a 90 minute martial arts session tonight. My sensei is not letting up on me at all. Prepping for my first tournament on Saturday! I'm excited yet nervous. Hoping I don’t get punched in the face

That's awesome, good luck in the tournament.
