I'm baaack

I am back and after reading "The real woman's personal trainer" by Sam Murphy, I feel so motivated. I now understand why I should exercise, besides wanting to be slim. I understand what happens to my body during exercise and afterwards. I am my body and my body is me. I need to take care of it and reap the benefits of regular exercise and a balanced diet. I just came back for my interval run and I feel amazing. I have been very agitated lately and moody is not even an adequate description. I need to exercise my lungs. I need to awaken my muscles. I need to stretch those muscles become balanced. I need to feed my body healthy, nurtritious foods and also live life and have fun. I am no longer someone who keeps failing at losing weight, I am now a healthy person who wants to feel great. I have had time off and now is better than tomorrow to start with these permanent changes. My scedule is easy to maintain and cheap. I am not sweating out for hours in a gym, I will be running outside, swimming, cycling outside, kickboxing, walking and climbing stairs at the beach. I want mental clarity and needs to focas on restoring my body to a strong, amazing, healthy body is once was.

My plans for this week:

  • Monday: 30 min outside interval run including hills and uneven ground. 15 minutes of weights
  • Tuesday: 15 laps at pool, 20 min walk on beach, 200 stair climb
  • Wednesday: 40 minute cycle,  15 mins weights.
  • Thursday: kickboxing or 20 lap swim
  • Friday: 30 min outside interval run including hills and uneven ground( morning) and pilates(evening).
  • Weekend: Hike, walk, run, cycle or swim. 1 day rest.
I will be eating a healthy, balanced diet of about 1000 calories a day. I will eat loads of fresh fruit and vegies, lentals, chickpeas, free range eggs and I will try and exclude excess refinded sugar products.
