So this week has gone pretty well. I've not felt too limited in food choices as i've allowed myself to eat what i want, within reason. I've really trained hard & have enjoyed that side of "new year new me". The week has looked like this
Monday - 2 Dippy Eggs, 2 toast, Lentil Curry, Chicken Curry, Rice.
Tuesday - Cornflakes, Chicken Curry, Chicken Drumsticks for tea, blueberry & yoghurt
Wednesday - Cornflakes, Spicy Pasta (split over two meals), 6x chicken wings
Thursday - 2 x banana , 6 x chicken drumsticks (grilled)
Friday - Cornflakes, Chicken & rice (wholegrain), chicken wrap & 3 x wings.... 2x McCoys 25g & c4 celebrations at work.... lol
Looking back i can see that i defo need to cut down on the wings/drumsticks & include more veg, but to be honest i didn't prepare too well with first week back at work & other commitments popping up, this week the goal is to continue enjoying the food i eat but adding some more veg in. E.G i know chicken breast is better for me than drumsticks, but i like drumsticks more & it makes it more likely that i will stick with it. 6x wings was when i went out with friends to a dinner, i would normally have had a burger, chips & wings but stuck just to wings & avoided drinks.
Exercise has been pretty good imo;
Monday - Swim - 30 lengths
Tuesday - Chest (dumbbell press, incline dumbbell press, flys) 10 minute run
Wednesday - Legs .... argh (Squats & pushing this 60kg tyre back and forward across the gym floor) 10 minutes run
Thursday - Back (lat pull down, seated row, dead lifts, bent over row, a machine i don't know the name of) 10 minute run
Friday - Swim - 20 lengths & 20 minutes in the jacuzzi
I like the idea of gym every day on my lunch break at work but just shorter sessions, i used to do back & bis, chest & tri's, legs & shoulders but going forward i'm going to try & go more but do less when there so i can fit it in a shorter time. I enjoy swimming & see it more as a way to relax, rather than a chore of going to the gym.
Since last time Billie, my dog, has developed arthritis & therefore the walks are now shorter, also its winter so the bike is away, although i do hope to get back out on sundays for some 30k rides when the weather is nice.
So tl;dr but wanted to write it all down, mainly for me, but if you read it all, feel free to give me some pointers, i think i can see a few areas already just documenting this that i can make small improvements on.
