So after my setback when I hurt myself in the gym (I REALLY should know better, but there we have it), I have taken a bit of a rest and my workout week ran as follows:
Thur - cardio & core workout with 6 KG medicine ball
Fri - rest
Sat - 30 mins cardio intervals
Sun - spot of corrective work on my runner's feet
Mon - 46 mins walk & Gym - weights (hurty ones) and bodu-weight resistance training
Tue - rest
Wed - rest
And here I am:
I know it's a bit dark - I didn't think that one through, sorry. But as you can see - there's a definite improvement from the post booze shot and perhaps even a slight bit of trimming round the sides since last Thursday. Since my workout week was interrupted by my stupidity, I had to ensure my diet was right:
Thur: High protien, High saturated fat, 2.5 litres of water, 1 black coffee
Fri: All good until dinner and you've all seen the picture after that night! Dessert and booze...
Sat: Croissant, Parma Ham, Lamb kofta, carrots (raw) Sri Lankan curry. 1.5 litres of water, 1 black coffee
Sun: Bacon croissant, Roast Beef with all the trimmings, Omelette, Chorizo, Ryevita, 1 black coffee, green tea, 2 litres of water
Mon: parma Ham, Salad with beef, chicken, avocado and cucumber, Chicken breast and raw veg, 1 black coffeee, green tea, 2 litres of water
Tue & Wed - high protien high saturated fat cooked breakfasts, organic peanut butter and banana on ryevita, meat and veg dinner, 2 litres of water, green tea.
YUM! :)

Why raw veg Ell, I know it keeps in more goodness but is there another reason?
ReplyDeleteKeeping the goodness in is what it's all about - but that's not just "coz it's healthy". If you don't get all the nutrients your body needs from each meal then you will begin to crave foods like simple carbs and sugar for an energy boost.
DeleteThe quality of the food you eat and the amount of water you take on are essential considerations to avoid bad food cravings.
How many sit ups are you doing a day? Surely it's about a million?
ReplyDeleteNo sit-ups! I try to use rotation exercises to work my abs, or jacknives with my feet on a swiss ball or suspended in TRX (or similar). I will do one of these things in every gym visit and that is currently 5 per week.
