It's been so long!
Well, it feels like it anyway. I havent blogged since Thursday (our time) and it's now Monday morning - forever!
GUESS WHAT?
I weighed in... and have lost half a kg (approx 1.1 lbs)! I know it's not a huge amount, but i feel so healthy, happy and motivated right now.
It's amazing what a difference eating well and exercising occasionally can make. I feel like i have so much more energy, and i dont want to sit on the couch. I want to clean and make food and exercise and go out.
The weekends are my biggest weakness - we tend to buy fast food a lot. I guess i've just been making better choices. On Friday night rather than getting fish and chips i made a brown rice & chicken curry. On Saturday for lunch, the boy had a pie from he bakery, and i bought a bagel and made a salmon and cream cheese bagel. Sunday, i had a ham and cheese toasted sandwich (the boy had bacon and eggs on toast) for breakfast, and lunch was chicken breast, avocado and bacon burger from Burger Republic (kind of healthy burgers - here), which is better than having KFC as most of his team had.
Next week i'm going to prepare better food to take to the football. The biggest wrong i had was not eating enough during the day - i had brekkie around 8am, then didnt eat lunch until about 2pm. Naughty!
I went to the gym on Thursday night for about 30 minutes - 20 minutes of couch to 5k and about 10 minutes on the epileptical machine. Saturday morning i did the same.
Tonight i originally planned to do weights with the boy, but something came up and i'm just going to go for a run again. He goes to the gym a couple of times a week to do mainly weights (on top of his football - 2 training sessions and 1 game per week!), so i'm going to try and go and do weights with him.
Fitness plan for the week:
- Gym tonight - 20 minutes couch to 5k, 10 minutes on epileptical machine
- Gym tomorrow - Combat class (woohoo!)
- Gym Thursday - 20 minutes couch to 5k, 10 minutes ep)
- Gym Saturday - hopefully weights with the boy
Food wise - we're eating as per the CSIRO diet. Am eating every 2 1/2 hours - trying to get protein in at every meal.
Happy Monday guys! Hope you have a great week.
Xx
