day 9 - food journal

a cup of hot water and lemon before anything

breakfast – 2 handfuls of cherries

snacks – nuts, nectarine, and an orange

dinner – left over mashed avocado

today has been my first down day.  i actually found myself thinking about chocolate at around 3.30pm.  but i put my music on and forged through.  its only day 9 and i’m not going to cave in.

music is a great way to change your mood, have you ever heard the saying, “music soothes the savage beast?”  it’s true.  music can calm and revitalise us in ways even a lengthy nap can’t.  music holds the power to elevate our moods above our worries, it can also perk us up if we use it with exercise.

here is a list of my favourite music to work out to:

·         beyonce – we run the world

·         nicki minaj – super bass

·         swedish house mafia – save the world (the extended version)

·         david guetta and kid cudi – memories

·         calvin harris – feel so close (benny benassi remix)

·         rhianna and jay-z – talk that talk

·         katy perry – the one that got away

·         rhianna feat. calvin harris – we found love

these pumped-beats keep me going.  today is just one other day.  tomorrow will be much better.
