REBOOT: Day 1 on the 7 Day Slim Down

Hey Hey!

OK, so I am back in the zone, lovely readers! Yesterday was my 31st birthday, which meant I was NOT on plan. So, today is a reboot and I'm doing Day 1 of the 7 Day Slim Down. 

I have planned out my week ahead of schedule (I really find that planning out my meals and my activities in advance keeps me on track with everything) and I am raring to go.

 This morning, I took my weight again (I've created my own tracker for my weight and measurements) and organised myself. As I said, I'm recovering from neck surgery, so the exercises I can do are limited to things which won't engage my neck. I can, however, walk and do some of the exercises from the Wii Fit plan - so this is what I did this morning! 

Wii Fit 30 minute Booty Call:

• Sun Salutations
• Palm Tree
• Warrior
• Chair
• Half Moon
• Hula Hoop
• Step Basics
• Rhythm Boxing
• Rowing Squats
• Torso & Waist Twists
• Tricep Extensions
• Heading
• Ski Slalom
• Ski Jum (x 2 because the first time was an utter disaster)
• Zazen

My total Booty Call workout time was 31 minutes and I burned 152  calories.

I should note that I had 150ml Fresh Orange Juice this morning before my booty call (66 cals) and I followed up my Booty Call with some MetaD. I drank 500ml throughout my booty call. I really feel quite well. My cheeks are glowing and I feel really good about the day ahead (despite the rain - it IS the UK).

My plan for the remainder of the day:

1. Tone It Up Breakfast Scramble (yummy!)
2. Vacuum the house 
3. Drink my water!
4. Meal 2 (without Stevia) around 2pm
5. Drink my water!
6. Meal 3 around 3pm (I'm running late today)
7. Drink my water!
8. Raise my heart rate again around 4.30pm
9. Drink my water!
10. Meal 4 at around 1730-1800
11. Drink my water!
12. Meal 5 around 1930-2000
13. Drink my water!
14. Shower
15. Sleep

I will check in with you all a little  later in the day... but right now, the scramble is calling my name ;)

Here's to a healthy day, ladies! Let me know how you're getting on!:

Tone it Up, Clare

Hello :)

In case you missed it, my name's Clare and I'm here to Tone it Up! I am overweight, unfit and unhappy. After years of watching the ToneItUp girls Katrina and Karena on their YouTube channel, I've finally gone and purchased their Tone It Up Nutrition Plan.

Tomorrow (actually, today, since I am writing this after midnight) marks Day 1 on the Nutrition Plan and I am more than a little excited. The ToneItUp community seems to be so friendly and so welcoming - I am really looking forward to getting to know my ToneItUp team better!

Last weekend saw me undergo neck surgery - so I am still very much recuperating from that op, but that doesn't mean I can't get my nutrition sorted now and get back into the fitness side as soon as I'm given the nod from the specialists. I will be doing light exercise, things which keep me supple, but that don't engage my neck. Once I've identified what those exercises are, I'll let you know!

I have spent a long time of my life overweight and I did not put all the weight on overnight - I can't expect to lose it overnight either, but I also need something that I can stick to and something that has a great community atmosphere. I want to lose over 100lbs in total, so this is where I'm going to hold myself accountable and track my progress. I hope you'll come along with me for the journey.
