Day 54 - Lean and Strong!

Hello there :)

So this round of 12wbt is coming to a close, and I have decided to give the Lean & Strong program a go next round. Im almost at my goal weight - lost 300g this week so only 500g to go. It really just proves that it is 80% what you put in your mouth (or dont put in your mouth!) and 20% what you put in at the gym. Which for me this round has been very little I have to say... I do 1 - 2 sessions per week on average but have been super pleased that I've managed to get the eating side of it down pat, with a few slips here and there but once again, 80/20 right?

Next round I need to...

  • Do ALL of my workouts, INCLUDING sss
  • Do the weekly challenges
  • Maintain my good eating (soooo looking forward to 1500 cals!)
  • Continue with Sunday food prep for the week - amazing how much time this saves in the week! Who would have thought weighing out portions of yogurt, meat, cheese etc would take so long!
  • Write proper goals
  • Find that willpower muscle and be stronger against temptation
  • Finish the round looking and feeling hot in my bikini!
  • Blog more!!! and take more food pics

Need to finish clearing out the gym / garage and set up my weights & equipment!!!

 

Food:

  • Breakfast - Banana Quinoa Porridge
  • Lunch - Chicken, orange and avocado salad - yum!
  • Snacks - Grande Skinny Caramel Latte, Apple, Natural Yogurt, one bite of boyfriends icecream
  • Dinner - Lamb with herb & feta peas and beetroot puree - would have photographed awesomely with the bright veg!

I also walked the dogs and had a PT session tonight - absolutely smashed!!!!

 

Now for bed....zzzz

Day 36 - I'm baaaack!!! Let's do this...

Hello Bloggersphere :)

It's 36 days since I started my challenge, and this weekend I got back from a 3 week holiday with the boy travelling around our beautiful state, WA. I had SUCH a great time, was well needed (though not perfect timing) and now I'm back refreshed and ready to pick up where I left off. So...

The good... We were quite active on the trip, hiking through gorges and walking around exploring, let alone putting the rooftop tent up and down every day. Plus over the three week period I only put on 500grams, which is pretty impressive as its hard to eat clean on the road.

The bad... I did put on half a kilo. I chose to eat unhealthy foods much of the time, mainly snacks for the long drives... chocolate, lollies, museli bars, cookies, red bull.... the list goes on :( Drank very little water also.

The ugly... We got back on Thursday, and it took me a few days to snap out of holiday mode... we ordered pizza for dinner last night - I would normally only ever eat 2 - 3 slices, last night I ate 4... and felt gross for it.

Monday I'm officially back on the 12wbt bandwagon with clean eating, water, and tracking my cals. Exercise will come later, but it will come this time!!! I am only a couple of kgs from my goal weight - looking forward to smashing it :)
