Well the first week of this challenge is over which means I've been on it for 3 weeks (since I started as soon as I registered). And I must say that I am really REALLY proud of myself and how easy I am finding it. I can honestly say:
Nutrition = 100%
Training =100%
No sneaky pieces of toast or even a single bite of anything! NOTHING! And I can't quite believe that I'm not even wanting any of that stuff. It really is quite remarkable. My food is very simple and since I'm not much into cooking and am an extremely fussy eater, I am so far not worried about eating the same thing over and over again. My daily nutrition goes something like this:
Breakfast: 1/2 cup Oats with 150ml skinny milk and handful of blueberries, coffee, Maxs protein shake about 45mins later (couldn't stomach it at same time as oats)
Morning tea: this is post workout so 15 almonds on cardio day, shake on weights day
Lunch: 120g chicken, 1/2 cup brown rice with a splash of soy, either salad or steamed veg
Afternoon tea: either protein bar, protein cookie or 10 almonds and fruit
Dinner: either beef, chicken or white fish with stir fry or steamed veg or salad
Dessert: 1/2 cup blueberries/raspberries with 1 tbsp yoghurt (sometimes blended to make ice cream - delish!)
Before bed: shake (this annoys me because it makes me go to the toilet in the middle of the night which I never have done before, but its on the plan which means I do it)
And yes, I am anal about measuring and weighing it all out. I don't do ANYTHING by halves! If I'm in this challenge, I'm in it all the way!
My training is also going so well - I can feel myself getting stronger and have increased my weights accordingly. And even my running is coming along! I even think I'm going to bite the bullet this week and start to increase my distance. I am loving my weekly PT session. It pushes me so much further and is also giving me so many ideas of things I can do in the gym - never a minute wasted!
And to top off the week I spent 4 hours clothes shopping today! I normally hate clothes shopping because I can never find what I want and I am normally so critical of how I look that nothing ever looks good on me. Well today was the total opposite! I felt like I could walk into any shop and choose anything and look good in it. I am back to a size 8 and that is so nice after spending the last 12 months either pregnant or post-pregnant and wearing 'fat' clothes! All those women who have been pregnant will know what I'm talking about!
Im also really pleased that all of this is having no effect on my breastfeeding. If anything I think I might be producing more milk than before!
So I am just killing this challenge. Slightly obsessed - absolutely!!! But that's how we roll in my house!
