Drat D I N G O S, but you have my permission to sing while you do it. A chorus of Waltzing Mathilda my dear.

My little Blue car will be buzzing all over the place this week as I see about getting stuff DONE. Need to get lots of walking in again now and beachside is where it's at (I live in a very hilly area and the climbs are a bit extreme for me at this stage - I wasn't allowed to walk the area for at least a few months after birthing my kids).

I managed almost 300 calories today, but got in 45g protein according to MyFitnessPal (thanks to having a protein water for breakfast). I'm going to try half a meal replacement shake tomorrow to keep pushing for at least 60g protein asap.
