Week 3: Day 3

Broccoli Soup...

So.. plain old broccoli is starting to get a bit boring! so I bought myself a heap of mushrooms and broccoli and started to make a little 'what ya call it broccoli soup special' lol! Just finished cooking it and then blended it all up in the mixer and put into little portion size tubs for the morning. Fingers crossed it's edible! If it tastes any good tomorrow I'll post you the recipe here.

Had a really good day, I'm feeling really good about myself and I'm feeling so positive about all the new changes in my life... My work pants are getting bigger on me! and also my face feels fresher and I look a lot more 'alert' and healthy!

'Ally' a girl I meet at the gym today who is doing the 10 week challenge ( and also won the last challenge at the gym) commented on my appearance as well.. saying I look more fresh and healthy. This new lifestyle is not only good from the weigh loss perspective but flushing the impurities through my skin with the perspiration... is obviously helping my appearance too :)

Was booked in for a new personal trainer tonight a step up on my training, would like to do 2 personal training sessions a week if I can make it! Tonight I was training with Ryan.. went well.. he introduced some new leg lunges while pressing weights up above your head as you come up.. yip that was hard! lol

Water: 2.5 Liters
Exercise: 10 min fast power walk on the treadmill, 30 min PT session with Ryan.
Work out Energy Level: 8/10
Mood: Determined!
Encouragement: While I was working with Ryan today on the treadmill I got a MASSIVE cramp in the back of my leg.. I thought it best to power on and try to walk it out.. no matter how painful. and it was - but it worked! I feel really good that I was able to push myself through the pain... mind over matter and determination!

Week 2 : Day 7

Hot pants...

While I was at mums place I was trying on some of my old clothes that I had packed away to see if any of them fit me now...

My favorite denim jeans shorts ( but not as short as kylie's hot pants thank goodness! lol) which previously I could not get the zip up... now comfortably fits!

Today it was a bit hard with my diet, especially around people who are eating cake, ice cream and lollies.. hah temptation plus! But I convinced myself that that cake would taste disgusting... and it worked.. I stayed strong! :)

Water: 2.5 Liters
Exercise: -
Work out Energy Level: 4/10
Mood: average
Encouragement: My old jeans

Week 2 : Day 2

Tuesday.

Still adjusting to waking up earlier and coordinating my time so I can catch the 230 bus into work. Started the day with a blend of oats, one small banana, stevia and water. Was quite appetizing, and allot better and easier to eat that traditional porridge!

(Second day of the lean and clean diet program.)

Water: 2 Liters ( trying to get to 3.....!).
Exercise: Sculpt Class, Pure Skip Class + 10 min on Treadmill + Ball exercise.
Work out Energy Level: 9/10.
Mood: Feeling a bit tired.. I think adjusting to the new diet.
Encouragement: Just got a little mention from Pure on their face book page! Feeling pretty good.. and It's good to see others encouraging you and noticing your efforts. :)
