Day 1. Midpoint.
Well it's been a difficult day already. But I have been sort of on track with plans..*sigh*
Started the day with a 6 egg scramble with tomatoes, avocado and onion. Discovered I would prefer something with more spice.. haha. Thankfully my husband and kiddo loved it.
Had a cup and a half of black tea with milk and turbinado sugar (down to just 1 small tsp, not my usual 2-3 tsps.)
Broke down and had several pieces of biscotti, and nutella. Need to ensure I have some healthy chocolate treat available for such moments.
Ian has been sweet and frustrating in turns. He made some huge messes. And then just now when I tried to do the 30 min Standing Slim II workout.. he kept wanting my attention. I feel so frustrated.. gah.
The workout. So parts of it were surprisingly easy, so much so I wondered if I was doing it right, and others I just couldn't figure out the move at all. Had no idea what it meant to keep one's core firm(?)..and maybe the countertop I used as my ballet barre isn't the right height?
I did break a sweat, but the challenges with Ian always wanting me to come and be with him, and no proper place to workout had me feeling tense throughout. Grr. Will need to figure this out.
About to prepare a simple butternut/kale/rice meal before leaving for a meeting at 4pm. Hoping my mood improves.

Post-shopping, pre-paration.
I stayed the course at the grocery store. Got plenty of greens, fruits. We have the grains at home. Only thing I didn't pick up was the meat.
Realising I need to figure out meals for the family - particularly our 1.5 yr old toddler as I work this 28 days.
Also wishing I had a 28 to great partner or a bunch of buddies to try this with. If you're interested holla.

Preparations
So I signed up for the online subscription on barre3 last night. And moments ago I purchased the 28 to great kit, which comes with the barre3 ball, and a guide. $30 in the hole.
Preparing my shopping list for meals this week now. A tingle of anticipation! Planning to record measurements and a before pic tonight, and figure out meals and schedule to workout for tomorrow.
Pretty sure preparations are going to help me make it or break it..
