So, week 2, any better?! Actually training wise, yes! I decided to start on Tuesday again so my double day fell on a weekend. So Monday was a really good day, even without training I ate really well and stayed within my 1200Kcal, however this was only one of 2 days that I stayed within that bracket. I've been so hungry this week, I don't know whether it's because I'm not drinking any alcohol I've just constantly wanted to stuff my face!
Speaking of which, I have chosen to not drink for the month of September and that is one thing I actually stuck to this week even though I was given 2 opportunities to have a beverage, I didn't I stuck to diet coke or water and I was really proud of myself.
Day 1 Training
Focus T25 - 25 minutes of intense Cardio.
Felt really motivated and worked really hard and felt like it was becoming easier:
Survived!! |
Day 2 Training
Focus T25 - 25 minutes of Total Body CircuitsThis session is so tough, I ended up like this VERY quickly! But I did finish the whole thing even if I did some of the lower impact moves.
Couldn't even get back up from the floor! |
Day 3 TrainingFocus T25 - 25 minutes of Speed 1.0
My favourite workout, I tried really hard and really enjoyed it this time round.
Day 4 Training
This is where it went a bit wrong, I got home from work got changed ready to do T25, Cardio. I did 5 minutes and I just wasn't feeling it, I couldn't focus and wasn't really paying attention, so I just gave up with the intention of doing Friday's on Sat and Sat's Double on Sunday.
Day 5 Training
Focus T25 - 25 minutes of Intense Cardio
I really struggled to find the motivation to do this, I did manage it though but I feel like I need to move the training back to start on Monday so I don't have to do this at the weekend.
I delivered by catalogues so did a good 30 minutes fast paced walk as well.
Day 6 Training
Should have done a double today but I had such a busy day, I just couldn't fit it in. I felt guilty but I just couldn't face it.
Need to try harder next week to ensure I get all the workouts in. Will try and start from Monday so I don't have to do anything other than stretch on Sunday's. Lets see how it goes.
Food
Food was hit and miss this week, I had two really good days where I stayed under my calorie target but the other days messed up my average significantly. One of the days (Saturday) I was craving a McDonalds so I thought if I just have it I can put the need for junk food out of my mind and eat healthy for the rest of the weekend. Unfortunately, my brain doesn't work that way and decided that meant I could eat what I want all weekend :-/ I did have some really good salads though, skipping the chicken/salmon for Feta and Avocado - yum!!
I also found a great way to curb my sweet tooth after eating lunch...
...and only 6Kcal per pot - yummy!!!
Bread had been my demon this week, I have had a loaf of Hovis Seed Sensation at home that I have been working through and I had Fajitas at my Aunts with flour tortillas. I need to reduce that back, maybe go back to shakes or slim fast for breakfast.
