Day 3!!!

Day 3 and I am SO pleased with myself!

Had an exam at 0915 this morning, and because I was relying on public transport for my commute I knew I had to leave with loads of time to spare. Sooooo....got up at 0430, bit of a sleepy head but resolved that I was gonna do my meltdown before my taxi arrived to take me to the station at 0550...and I DID!! Felt sore and was so sure I was going to be weaker, but I felt myself powering through and guess what?! Was +42.5 on day 1!!!! That is pretty much a 20% increase! VERY pleased with myself!

Had a hot bath with salts last night, which felt good. Today the front of my thighs and chest are SERIOUSLY in pain! touching my chest is agony, but been trying to give it a little massage every now which usually helps my gym aches...

Yesterday recap - 4 workouts, cycled for a cardio workout. Didn't get very hungry after breakfast, had a few nuts around 1300 and then a meal at 1630 ish, and that was it for the night.

Today had fine porridge oats made with coconut milk and an egg, with ground flax, fresh blueberries and some coconut oil mixed in after for an exam-energy boost!

Feel pretty good. And it has been REALLY hard pushing myself to do things when I don't want to or making the time for them, but you get to feel so pleased with yourself if you do, so am gonna keep that in mind for the next...ermmm....27 days!

Think I am SEEING the differences already, but not doing any pics or measurig for 7 days...stick to the plan girlfriend!

Over and Out.

MAP Day 2

OK. So to round off from yesterday!

Yesterday I went to Uni to hand in some work and meet with some of my classmates to do some work. This made me realise that I am going to have to think harder if I am gonna get my 4 workouts in each day bearing in mind some days with my commute I need to LEAVE the house at 0600 and get back probably between 1600 and 1900 ish depending on my finish time...and it's 4 hours of travel...hummmm

Yesterday eating went really well.

B- Fine oat porridge with 1 egg and coconut milk, ground flax, half a banana, some coconut oil swirled in when cooked.

L- oatcakes, avocado and Fish

D- 3 slices spelt bread and butter, nearly half a Q in olive oil salt and pepper, and 2 baked Fish. A few roasted cashews and almonds (which I did myself in a little coconut oil and sea salt).

Messed up when I got home as should've done next workout STRAIGHT AWAY, but made dinner and ate and then realised by the time I digest etc, would be getting quite late and pushed for time. So did ICP and Power Circuit back-to-back around 2100, bed about 2240 which is late for me. Took vits. Felt good. Power Circuit was harder than I thought, although I kind of anticipated that in a funny way!

This morn I was SORE! Not to the point where it was disabling, but I had forgotten this kind of post-workout soreness! Felt good.

Weight up 0.6lb but not bothered as it is just Day2 lol, plus am due for my period and that usually comes with a weight increase from water retention which goes after a few days, so was expecting a bigger rise than that actually. But not making anything of it, more interested in a week's results.

Just did my Meltdown workout and was scared that it was going to HURT (which it did) because of the soreness! To my surprise though, was +4.5 overall which made me really pleased as I thought I would literally only be able to do half as much. Pushups were the hardest with sore chest and armpit area muscles. But overall good job me! The naughty voice in my head told me it was too hard half-way through, but I shut the voice up and completed the whole thing anyway! So I am pleased with me. :)

Off to make Brekkie - 3 scrambled eggs, spelt bread and butter and lots of yummy spinach with nutmeg! mm mmm

Rock on Day 2!

MAP Day 1

So today is the start of my 30 day MAP challenge with Dax Moy online

http://www.londonpersonaltrainingstudio.com

Started with what I know as Tabatas workouts, which I have done before and wasn't especially scared of. But 4 rounds....?! I should've been scared! Because that HURT! People have been talking about soreness on the forum by day 2, and I am not even 2 workouts in to Day 1 and can feel the soreness settling in!! Excited and TERRIFIED at the same time for the next 29.75 days and what they have in store! But we love a challenge! So LET'S GO!!

Starting measurements:

10st 13.8lb

30.6% fat

47.9% water

31.6% muscle

2142 BMR

Chest - 99

Waist 79

Arms 28

Hips 102

Thighs 47 (12cm above knee) and 57 (at the juicy part!)

Not especially bothered about my size/measurements. Would like the thighs, hips and bust to not move at all if they'd be so kind! (or maybe get bigger :D ), but would like to tone up the waist and ab areas, as well as the back, and get back the lost definition in my arms and shoulders - I liked that.

And who knows, if I am really good with this and get god results I may need to book a holiday treat to sun-kiss the new bod! teehee....

Now to shower and get my butt to uni....

Over and out.
