DAY 1 Blog

DAILY UPDATE:
So I made it through day 1! Not too much different from any other week day although I REALLY watched my portion sizes and as such had to fight off a bit of hunger yesterday. Although that's pretty normal after getting back on track after a weekend of having a few too many treats.

MOOD:
Started the day feeling very average as I’d just had too many treats and drinks on the weekend which left me feeling a bit down on Monday morning. I suppose this is what kicked me into gear to tighten things up and make some changes. When I don’t eat really well I feel like crap and it’s just not worth it! By the end of the day I was feeling so much better and I could tell my mood was heaps better as I knew that I was taking the steps needed to get where I wanted to be. Even finished the day off in the outdoor spa relaxing with Cam (don’t worry no drinks were consumed!)

FOOD:
Fantastic, spot on! Well maybe I did have 1 extra cup of tea and a teaspoon of Cam’s Skinny Cow Ice-Cream (bugger they’re not on my plan!) but overall a great day. I was feeling a bit hungry throughout the day but most of it was just habit as I’d just eaten and knew I wasn’t really hungry so I just kept myself occupied and drank LOTS of water. I finished off the day with my yummy Chicken Stirfry (pic above)

TRAINING:
Awesome! 6am Sprint Training, jog to oval (about 13 minutes), stretch then complete 10 sprints from goal post to goal posts with 30 second standing recovery in between. Got my heart rate up to 93% max and it was HARD. Finished off with an easy jog home, all done in about 33 minutes. (even did it with spectators as our local oval has some die hard remote control plane flying people who get up early to fly their little remote control planes, I think there was about six out there. I’m sure they must think I’m a total freak running up and down but I don’t really care!)

Lunch – Rpm Express Class, went with a friend and it was good to catch up although the instructor wasn’t the best and as such I didn’t feel like it was one of my best efforts although still got a good workout in. (I know I shouldn’t blame the instructor but she was quite bad!)

Afternoon – Weights, I’m doing a 2 day split consisting of straight sets, 6-8 reps and big compound movements. Great workout took about 50 minutes.

WATER: About 4L (not exactly sure but I know I was peeing all day, so it must have been lots, he, he)

DRINKS: NONE

TREATS: NONE

One day down and feeling better already! I hope everyone’s week is going well.

Cheers, Hilds
