Day 3

First day back at work today on the challenge. Also my first day back in the office for two weeks after helping out in a side role.

I woke up with my calf muscles screaming at me. It seems pushing barrow loads of mud up a hill tend to put some strain on under-prepared muscles. Who knew?

Woke up at 6:30 and set of to the gym for a morning chest workout, then headed home. That was when the nosebleed struck. Haven't had one of those in years and it was pretty annoying, but not that heavy.

Work was an absolute fucking struggle today. I just didn't have much energy, but I still got everything done I needed to, and only needed one coffee to survive.

Day 2

Today I went to volunteer with my friend Paul at Wildlife HQ on the sunshine coast. I have started the sugar withdrawal headache, so that fresh hell was with me most of the day making me a grumpy bitch, but I pushed through it. Usually when there I do quite a lot, but today we just had a light day and then fed the animals. Check out my instagram for the shot of me hand feeding a red panda. Afterwards, I went to the beach and paddled around a bit. Honestly, other than the headache it was a pretty good day, but I only just hit my calorie goal at about 8:30pm. The food situation was easy today, and I didn't spend a cent! Total calories burned: 1000 Calories consumed: 1435 Savings: $20

Day 5

Today was the first one that was a struggle. I only got about 4 hours sleep, and according to my sleep tracker it was shiiiiiiitttttyyyyy sleep anyway. But my alarm woke me up at 5:30am, and rather than hitting snooze I got into my gym gear and went to the gym. Leg day... thou art a heartless bitch. Not as bad as the next two days of muscle soreness will be. I just hope that my legs are okay by Saturday for the pride march. I got home from work with 250 calories left to burn, so I got on the treadmill once again, and ran/walked until I hit my target. I could have stayed on and kept going, but honestly I wasn't feeling it, and was just glad to hit my goal. Savings: $9 . I may have to rethink how I am going to afford to have fun with this budget, but I have some ideas around this, since currently I am including transport costs for work in here.
