Alarm goes off - ready for the start of my day which includes walking the dogs (2 labs) for 30 minutes and then getting into my workout - pre shower and breakfast. I unfortunately had a very poor sleep during the night and was not feeling 100% during the dog walk. So - opted to do the workout later this afternoon and went back to bed for another hour. I guess I was worried of losing focus and causing an injury. I have actually been sleeping really well - except last night was a terrible one. I realised the need for a good night's sleep not only for muscle repair - but also to have a good work out.
Food is going good. Lunch are two whole wheat bagels both with mushed avocado: one has a chicken pattie I made up with coriander (made a couple on the weekend and popped them in the freezer) and the other lamb. To make up my vegetable portion I have two peeled carrots are I munch on through lunch.
Breakfast...OK solved the egg dilemma (as in not able to stomach another boiled or fried egg).. I made an egg-flip. I created a sugar-free version (ie I did not add sugar) which was good. Took 200ml of milk from my 300ml allotment, mixed in my whole egg and egg white and then used part of a vanilla bean (pre-ground) for flavour and put all in a blender. I then had a wheat bagel with avocado and tomato.. Finding breakfast the most difficult of my meals but trying different things.
Have heaps of energy - although feeling a tad spaced out. Could be the cold I had coming back.. but not a problem. Suit pants are baggy.. I am the same weight where I weigh myself at the same time every morning. My shirts feel better and I am down one belt size. Long way to go - but onwards and upwards!
Dinner: since the humble potato is PCP friendly - a potato and onion hash brown with protein (aka prawns) on top covered in roasted bell peppers (had in container). Carbs are wheat raisin bread: ate half while cooking - all up it was like 5 slices to meet the carb quota..
PCP master-chef baby.

Cheers on being down one belt size! Good feeling I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteHey Molly - a long way to go.. but noticed that this morning and my normal belt hole renders the belt useless.
ReplyDeleteSo what does that mean, that you're down a belt hole but your weight hasn't changed?
ReplyDeleteKeep it going! You are gonna need a new tailor...
ReplyDeleteMuscle build up / losing fat (around the waist).. although subtle and realising there is still a long way to go - I am seeing a good change. Thanks - Rich
