The Challenge - Day 2, Week 2

Food / Exercise Diary

FOOD

Today's Food Accomplishment - No more sugar!!

I didn't manage to get to my 1000 calories again (Food minus Exercise) and so tomorrow I am going to try harder to eat more although I have to admitt that I am struggling.  I'm thinking that I may just have to do Protein Shakes - which is better than being in 'starvation mode' and cutting out an exercise day is just not an option for me at this stage!!

I made a stirfry tonight that I didn't really like but then again I've never really been a stirfry fan - Glenn had seconds so that a positive sign.

MAPLE PORK STIRFRY

Serves 4

400g Pork Strips

Garlic

Asian Vegies

(I used frozen packet + Bok Choy and Bean Sprouts)

2 tbs sugar free maple syrup

1 tbs soy sauce

1 tbs oyster sauce

EXERCISE

Today's PT session was High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and let me just say thank christ it was only a short session (plus 15 min warmup on bike) - I think Kerriann was trying to kill me.

First up I hit the treadmill - 1 minute walk @ 5kph and then 30 seconds sprint @ 11kph and then back to a 1 minute recovery @ 5kph and so on over and over again for 20 minutes with the last sprint @ 12kph.

Oh but wait there's more torture - the dreaded Stepper for 15 minutes also at varying intervals ewwww.

To finish off it was Abs (with a medicine ball) - 10 X Crunches, 20 X Russian Twists and a 1 minute plank hold, yep that's right 1 minute and just when I thought it was all over I had to do it again!!

Although the hardest session so far I feel so good about being able to complete it and to push myself to the limits, mind you there is no way I could of achieved it without my awesome trainer - Thanks for trying to kill me Kerriann (lol), Mwah XOXO

OVERALL

I am full, absolutely knackered and to top it off - I have a sore throat, but other than that all is good!

Glenn said that I looked taller today so I am guessing that I am more aware of my posture which is a huge accomplishment.

Mum has been asking me a million questions and voicing her disapproval at a few things which gets on my nerves, but at the same time I know that it wouldn't be her if she didn't - its her way of showing she cares.  We had lunch together today and she was so impressed with my Salad that she asked if I can make her meals too.  I cannot even begin to tell you how much it means to me to have her support and; she gets to loose weigh in the process so its a win win situation.

That's me over and out for another day.  Catch you tomorrow!!
