Happy Monday lovely TiUers!
Today's check-in: M1: oatmeal, cinnamon,
apple = delicious (and I don't like oatmeal...), coffee with dairy-free
milk, M2: Cinnabon Smoothie, decaff coffee with semi-skimmed milk, M3: 5
x Black pepper oatcakes, 100g wafer thin turkey, cucumber, tomato,
carrots, pukka detox tea, M5: 2 x lamb loin chops, rocket salad,
beetroot, carrot, spring onion, curly kale. Having my Meal 4 Nakd bar
for dessert :)
Feeling really proud about today because food has been
totally en pointe - no binge in sight!
I have also worked out so hard,
today!
This morning I completed day 2 of week 1, couch to 5k. I did this
on the treadmill at the gym and followed it with 30 mins on the
elliptical and then walked home. This afternoon I did 40 mins of yoga
(Yoga with Adriene on YouTube) then I did the Bikini Body Routine and
the 4th July workout. I've racked up 9 miles towards my #250towedding (brother's wedding in November).
Good times.
Today has been a good day.
Actually, make that Day 4 of the 5 Day Slim Down.
I promise I am not wimping out. I am simply changing from the 7DSD to the 5DSD because
a) Day 6 will be Monday and I have crazy "Monday-is-the-start-of-my-weigh-in-week" OCD
b) Monday will be my first day of the Tone It Up Bikini Series!!!
I am super excited and I promise to do a Bikini Series post soon. And stop laughing - no, I don't think that I will be getting into a bikini this summer (the last time I wore a bikini was 1986; I was three), but it is a START.
So today has been the penultimate day on the Slim Down and I think it has gone rather well.
Here's the food:
Booty Call: Original Meta D
Meal 1: Complan Protein Pancakes
75ml water
Meal 2: Grapefruit
Meal 3: Salmon, Mushrooms, Asparagus, Pukka Tea
Meal 4: Carrot, Red Pepper Hummus, 10 green pitted olives
Meal 5: 2 x Chicken Breasts, Spinach, Green Beans, Carrots, Peas, low-fat raspberry yoghurt with cinnamon, Pukka Tea, 1 litre water
Tomorrow, I need to really amp up with water intake because today I have been pretty lax with that. Hubby and I did go for a walk today, though, we clocked up 5.1km. Hubby introduced me to a new app: Map My Fitness, which you can connect to MyFitnessPal. I quite like the idea and am going to start using it.
Calorie intake for the day 1063 and calories out 438. Total intake: 625
It's not been too bad a day and I'm really excited about starting the Bikini Series on Monday! I am also really excited for weigh-in and measurements on Monday because I'm pretty sure that they will be down... and I really need them to be down.
OK, time for bed, then the final day of the 5DSD.
