Just finished 30 minutes of fitness coach, 143 calories down. Apparently that’s my workout numer 30 from the end of May. Not too bad really? But could be a lot better!
On Friday I managed to stick to changing my breakfast for apple juice and I figure I ate about 1,400 calories during the day. It was also test day on fitness coach. For those of you who hear me go on about it and don’t really know what that means, it means I have to measure my biceps, chest/ back size, waist, hips and thighs as well as do some fitness tests. Thankfully I can do the max on the lady press ups and squats so I no longer am killing myself trying to push for the max number they expect you to do. I still hate the 2 minutes of jumping jacks though!
My raised heart rate had come down this time, is that good or bad? It doesn’t tell you. All it says is that I am exercising at 60% of my hearts capacity and it is considered “medium” level exercise? Freaken medium!? They have got to be kidding me! I defy anyone to call 2 minutes of jumping jacks medium exercise, its pure torture!! Good news is my waist is down an inch and ¾’s, my thighs are down ¾’s of an inch and my chest is down 1 and ¼ of an inch! Woohoo. Still no movement on my bicep and hips though doh! Will get to work on them :)
On Saturday I had an apple juice for breakfast to start the day off with fruit. Lunch was some lentil soup with 2 slices of bread. Sadly things took a turn for the worse at this point as I was in a car for a few hours travelling to Cardiff for a U2 gig. I managed to have 2 snack twixes (you know the single ones?) and a fudge bar! Slightly counteracted by the fact we parked approximately one mile from the venue and had to walk to the venue and back after. Dinner was lovely vegetable lasagne. It was weird though, I mean seriously, it came in what I can only call a cereal or soup bowl! Who puts lasagne in a bowl!? They also tried to give me full fat coke! Argh, it isn’t even the calories that get me, I wouldn’t complain to them over that, it’s the taste! I CAN NOT STAND the taste of coke. It makes your teeth feel all funny too! Anyways, all credit to them, they changed it and to a bigger glass too :)
Lots of boogying at the U2 gig (was a REALLY great gig!) so that is more calories gone… but the gig was followed up with another twix and fudge bar ahhhhh.
Today started with a meal deal from boots. Really didn’t taste the best if I am honest, but it was food to eat on the train so I made do. Dinner is 2 sets of sausage sandwiches as I feel really hungry! Now to spend the rest of the day avoiding anymore food with perhaps the exception of snack a jacks.
Hoping I will be motivated to try the Salsa workout from Fitness TV tonight once munchkin is in bed. Fingers crossed.
