The Challenge Begins - Day 1 Week 1

FOOD:

This morning I got up and ran around like a headless chook in order to find the time to be able to make myself a healhty breakfast of Baked Beans (1/2 cup) and Scrambled Eggs (1 egg and 3 egg whites) and it was delicious.  But, due to me not being relaxed enough my band decided to get rid of it. 

I missed my Morning Snack due to being out and about and unprepared.

Lunch was an Energy Bar on the run - which I know wasn't the best option but I figured better than nothing.

While I was cooking dinner I made myself a Banana Smoothie with my Protein Shake and shared it with Glenn who agreed that it was really nice.

I went all out with Dinner and cooked up a Steak (100g) with Ratatoullie, Broccoli (1/2 cup) and Potatoe(120g) topped with Cottage Cheese (1/4 cup) which was a hit.  I have to admitt that I didn't eat the Steak and Ratatouille but the rest was delicious and very filling.

Note:  With Steak and Cheese = 1.5 serves Protein

To finish up my day I had a cup of tea, with a dash of skim milk and 2 sugars.  I was supposed to cut the sugar or replace it with equal but I caved so tomorrow I will switch.

EXERCISE:

Tonights workout was an Impact Fitness Boxing Session which was hard but awesome and I burnt 550 calories which makes it even more worthwhile.

GENERAL WELLBEING:

I still need to get my menu plan done for the week which is a little bit tricky as I'm still finding the nutrition side of things a little bit daunting.  Other than that I am feeling really positive about this whole experience and so glad that I took up the challenge.

Tomorrow I am heading into the Gym to do my new Upper Body workout and so that's it from me for today as I made a promise to be in bed before midnight and time is ticking away.

Day 1 of Week 1 - OVER AND OUT!!  I did it - YAY!!
