The Challenge - Day 2, Week 1

Today I feel like all I have done is eat, eat, eat, eat, workout and of course do the usual headless chook runaround.

EXERCISE

I worked through half of my new program - Upper Body! 
It's certainly challenging but that's the way I like it - I just need to push beyond my 'sticking point'.

FOOD

Breakfast @ 8:30am (Running Late)

1/2 cup oats made with water and then 30g of Whey Protein mixed into it - doesn't sound all that nice but believe me it was delicious and incredibly filling.

Lunch @ 2.45pm

6 thin Sundried tomoatoe and basil rice cakes

1/2 cup of cottage cheese

Salad with Balsamic Vinegar Dressing

Was made in the morning hence it being soggy!

Oooh I managed to cut down to 1 sugar - whoo hoo!

GENERAL WELLBEING

I really felt like some chocolate tonight but managed to push aside the cravings by keeping busy and snacking on healthier options, pretty proud of myself for that.

I am sore but that's to be expected and as they say keeping moving is the best option.

I am planning on being in bed by 11pm tonight so that's it from me for another day.

Thanks for the support XOXO
