Doing great with this programme so far: sticking to the meal plan, doing the exercise workouts and feeling like I’m doing myself some real good. Having gone without owning a set of bathroom scales for many years, it was necessary to enter my starting weight when I began. I weighed myself again on Friday and found I’d lost 2.2kg. Although a modest amount, it is encouraging that the needle moved in the direction I wanted it to!
The exercise workouts have not been hard, but they have been making themselves felt with some muscular aches later in the week. The weekend had a pilates session on Saturday and a gentle stretching session on Sunday, which seem to have helped put me to rights. They are only 15 minutes long at this stage, and I’ve been sure to try and fit in extra incidental exercise as well – walking, doing more work around the house etc.
On the meal plan this week there is a good variety.
Breakfasts: Spinach Smoothie, Coconut Chia Bircher, Banana Pancakes (no flour), Cottage Cheese with Sliced Apple/ Berries, Blueberry Yogurt
Lunches: Cottage Cheese and Egg Salad, Zucchini Fritters, Chicken Satay Salad, and leftovers from the Dinners
