DAY 2

DAILY UPDATE:
Second day down and I'm feeling better already!

MOOD:
Started today much more positive than Monday as I was feeling pretty good after really cleaning up my nutrition and having a great day yesterday. It really proves to me the impact clean eating has on my mood (makes me a much nicer wife!)

FOOD:
Great, no picking or extras. Can happily say I've stuck to my 20 little almonds per day and not one extra. Normally I'm in the almond jar picking throughout the day, although not anymore! I have found I've really had to keep myself busy and fight the urge to add some extras and it really does make a big difference. I'm weighing all my food and it's all been on track. I do find the evenings a bit tough as on weight training days I have no meal after dinner and just having a cup of tea instead. Today as I'm not weight training I get to have my usual post workout shake as an extra evening meal, mmmm can't wait!

TRAINING:
Always great, love my exercise (my happy drug!)
Got up early and completed my Steady State Jog. Just did 45 minutes jogging keeping my heart rate between 75-83%, I found I felt a bit heavy yesterday while running but I feel I could push myself a bit harder. I think on these runs I could happily keep my heart rate around 80% and feel and complete my circuit a bit quicker than usual.

Lunch – WEIGHTS, another sensational workout. I'm really enjoying the simple straight sets and really seeing how heavy I can go. I've also been taking Creabolic Extreme which gives me a bit of a buzz before weights and seems to be helping me improve in the weight department. I might get Cam to help out with a weight routine on the weekend as I find it pushes me that bit harder and sets some new limits I can try and achive on my own.

WATER: Not sure of the actual amount but I couldn't stop going to the toilet so I'm sure it was enough! I've also been having lots of this herbal tea mix I've found and absolutley love. It's a blend of peppermint, green tea and some other things and tastes so nice! I make up a pot and have it sitting on the desk and just keep drinking it.

DRINKS: NONE

TREATS: NONE

So after 2 days I'm feeling so much better and very determined to make it through my 4 week challenge with some big changes! Just testing out our new program to be released soon - 4 WEEK BLITZ!

Have a great day!

Cheers, Hilds

Good stuff Hilds!!Sounds like your back on track! You remind us all that nobody can be perfect even personal trainers!! We all can put to much pressure on ourselves to always be in perfect form all the time but with todays busy life style it really is so unrealistic!!! It's about keeping perspective and encouraging each other and supporting each other to do the best we can and when we get a bit off track, to get back on track and remind ourselves that good nutrition and fitness will help us deal with our busy lives way better!!! P.S. I start my mini challenge tomorrow!
