Thought about having a lie in this morning! What ever!! It seems my body clock does not like to sleep in! So was up early...
Breakfast:
Natural low fat yogurt with fresh raspberries and blueberries with a sprinkle of flaked almonds.
Lunch:
A small handful of chopped almonds.
Dinner:
This is a home made enchilada with spicy breast chicken. With green leaf salad and a drizzle of ceaser dressing.
This is what the whole dinner looked like... I had one from the very top. First time I have made this, and well it was not that bad actually. It was really tasty.
Early evening:
Decaf coffee.
Small fruit pot, with strawberry, melon, grapes, apple and orange. Thats a tea spoon, so it only a little pot packed with loads of different fruit.
Exercise:
Went on Trevor (treadmill) and wanted to do the 12% incline training so Jon worked it out and it needed to be set at an incline of 3. So I did the walk at the rate of 4 and an incline of 3... OMG sweat!! I felt this one!!
I was plodding along and swinging my arms and DOH knocked the emergency plug out. I knew what I had done as I had just told Jon, 15 minutes... damn it!! So had to start again and did another 15 minutes. Jon says just to times this one by 2 and that would give my totals.
So I walked a total of just over 2 miles and burned 174 calories! :) And boy do I feel good!
Jon has done some research and found that if I eat a handful of fresh berries ie: raspberries and blueberries this will help me recover. Its something to do with antioxidants, all good things so thought I would give it a go.
Water (ribena) intake: 2 bottles
My thoughts for the day:
What have I done today??? erm... nothing! Seriously nothing! I am a little shocked as I normally get up to something! Odd doing nothing.
And again... looking at what I have eaten, surely I am missing something out? Essential vitamins? I have no clue really... so for the next week I will be writing down what I eat too, to take to the nurse who I see on a Friday. Maybe she can shed some light on where I may be going wrong? Or maybe I am not?!
Hmmm the knickers...well I wore one of the new ones today... all I have been doing all day is pulling them up! Seriously shocked a little that they are too big! So I have gone down... 32, 30, 28, 26, 24, 22... I think a 22 would of fit better! Note to self buy size 22 knickers!! And that is a whopping 6 sizes!!! OMG!!
Jon, my research person! Has found out many benefits if I start to eat half and avocado a day. They are very good, a super food that promotes healthy living and helps keep joints, heart and skin to name a few healthy. So I will be buying some avocado tomorrow!
I did go to sort some 'old' things in the garage... OMG I found an old photo album. Arrrghhh is what I said when I opened it and saw the photos! Its from 2000, photos of me and Han... OMG I look like I am wearing a tent in most of them. I was huge.. the album is over my mums at the moment. So when I get it I will scan some photos in and show you.... I am SO not proud of the way I looked, but I know I will NEVER go back to looking like that EVER. The photos did shock me, and shocked me enough to think I can and am doing this!!
Not that I did not believe that before, looking at the photos has made me realize how bad I want to change.
Wow - your body shape must be really changing now! Keep up the fantastic work!
