Each day I will be tracking my food and exercise with My Fitness Pal (username: mewmip) and posting calories eaten and exercise done each done on here.
1 June - I've still got it!
45 minutes of strength training - legs, back, chest, triceps, biceps, core, glutes
5km run - 26:53
Food - 1188 calories
Verdict: Very happy with my exercise. Since uni started in March I have only done one long run and one big weights session (hence the 3kg weight gain and clothing size 8 -> 10) and last night I did both. Stuck to my food goal but did succumb to eating two Cadbury Favourites in the evening before I went home from work. I also felt like I just snacked all day because I was bored. I need to reduce the mindless snacking and have a small protein shake after the gym instead (but I couldn't find my protein powder last night).
I'd like to go cold turkey on sugar as I know its the only way I can ween off my addiction. Yesterday was difficult though, I believe the constant yawning and restlessness I was experiencing was due to lack of the sugary treat I am used to. Today will be my first no sugar day, and tonight I'll also be making an effort to find my protein powder before I leave for the gym so it's ready to drink before I go to bed.
I have this miraculous ability to, when I put my mind to it, go full steam ahead with my exercise and eating and drop weight really fast. I've done it oodles of times. I've dropped 4kg in a month more times than I can remember - my body just responds very quickly, especially to weight training. But once I look in the mirror and grin proudly I suddenly allow myself to go back to my old ways. It's like "Oh I've achieved that goal, I no longer need to exercise 6x a week". This is something I'd like to change. I'd like to make this a lifestyle, not just a series of missions to get back to a size 8.
2013 is the year of achievements and that includes getting a kick ass healthy body. My fitness goals are:
Run 10km comfortably
Complete a 5 minute plank (and then keep it up)
30 push ups on my toes
Check out this body. I will work my ass off until I look like this Miranda Kerr style body. Perhaps not the six pack but I want to be toned, taut, and fit. I want people asking me "Wow what did you do to look like that!?"
