Genesis Challenge Day 2, Week 1

OMGosh is it really only day 2, I am EXHAUSTED already!  Despite this however I am motivated, determined and committed - nothing is going to stop me from reaching my goals - not even myself (my biggest barrier)!

Today I did my very first 'Genesis' Boxing Class and I have to admitt that I had lots of self doubt floating around in my head about whether I could keep up, was fit enough and blah blah blah, BUT I did it!!  I can remember my first ever boxing class (at the Bacchus Marsh Leisure Centre) and the fact that I segregated myself from the group line because I didn't feel comfortable working out with anyone else except my partner.  Well, that wasn't the case today I well and truly pushed the comfort zone barrier.  I have to add here that if it wasn't for the amazing go get it attitude of Marianne I probably would of decided not to do the class and just worked on the gym floor instead but this amazing woman is fearless and so I figure that I can be too plus safety in numbers always helps ;o)

TODAYS EXERCISE - Total Calories Burnt - 720 calories.

60 minutes of Boxing

10 minutes of Cycling (school run)

Food wise today I once again fell short on my calorie goal - I really do need to work harder on getting the extra protein shake in.  Mentally I am struggling with that if I have the extra shake it will put up my calories which will mean that I may not be able to have my 'late' snack  because it will put me over BUT when I think about it realistically I know that I am doing more damage by having too little calories than by having 50 - 100 more!  So here's me kicking myself up the butt before the girls do it for me.

TODAYS FOOD - Total Calories 1302 calories.

Well thats it from me as it is past my 11pm curfew because it was a school night and I didn't get home until 10pm which meant that I was once again behind the 8 ball so I want to get up bright and early to get back on top again ready for another big day - PT session number 2. 

Oh, that reminds me - I spoke to Steve face to face today about the whole control thing yesterday so I am hoping that tomorrows session will have me begging for mercy - I am really a sucker for punishment hey!

PERSONAL NOTE:  I got out the guitar and played and sang today and even though it wasn't perfect due to still getting over my lung infection, it really put me into a good place - inner peace!
