My plan is pretty much the same as Martina's... I'm starting out by changing my eating habits for the better, then I'll gradually add in some exercise to help me burn away those pesky calories! ;)

Me too. I'm just trying to eat less junk and eat less in general. I started an online photo food journal to keep me accountable - and so far it seems to be working. Also, will be working out now that I have my job (and gym membership) back.

I eat 6 times a day with fruit or yoghurt as a snack in between meals. I count my calories and exercise with MyFitnessPal.com and so far this month, I've only missed 3 days.
My exercise may seem like a lot, but I'm an endurance freak- always testing myself to see how much further I can push myself (and I love it!): Monday: 25 minute run, 10 minute walk, 25 minutes bike (hill profile, level 8/12), 60 minutes of karate and 60 minutes of kendo. The run will increase over the next two weeks to 30 minutes. Tuesday: upper body weight-lifting, 15 minute run or bike, 90 minutes of aikido. Wednesday: same as Monday. Thursday: lower-body/upper body weight lifting, 15 minute run or bike. (This is one of my "off" days). Friday: 25 minute run, 10 minute walk, 25 minutes bike (hill profile, level 8/12), 60 minutes of low-impact karate (training session with the senior belts where we do techniques and stop and look at what we're doing, discuss it and move on). Saturday: 150 minutes of karate and aikido, maybe a walk with the dog and DH. Sunday: off. I'm not working vigorously at my karate classes, I'd classify it as a moderate workout, something to get the blood pumping, but I reckon my heartrate is going between 60-75% of my max. |

DH was really concerned about me ready to pass out and told me off for weighing the meat I was going to eat. Fair enough, I don't think the plate was nearly full enough (100 grams of beef and a cup of veggies, plus a banana and a 12 oz Cherry Coke as an emergency sugar backup for when my sugar gets really low). So I had a piece of banana bread and a serve of ice cream for dessert; I still feel sleepy- as though I haven't had enough sugar yet. I haven't felt like this in a long time and it really freaks me out when it happens. |
Take care of yourself Mollz .... hope you feel better soon...
.... sorry for some reason I thought you were in Chrischurch ... ... was it cold where you were today .... I don't know what has happened to summer today here in the North Waikato! :)... |
