Pain in the Butt & Body Fat

DAY 2.

Another successful start at 5am this morning - woop woop!!  Onto the dreadmill with my cup of strong "mmmmmm" moccona which gets planted on the windowsill for sips on my walks inbetween the sprints.  Today I sped up and moved my legs at 13.5km with my walks at 6. 

30 minutes, 4.64km, 323 cals according to my York Z16 Machine.

Shower, breakkie of yummy oats, pineapple, protein + a dash of flax then it was mum time.  Organise Linc for school, get Lucy ready and off to the gymmy gym we go.

So today was 'cardio' day in my schedule.  Usually I'll alternate between cycling and running (10 min/10min) then redo it getting 40 mins in, but today decided to do a 600 rep challenge.  First I warmed up doing a light run for 10 mins then found a free spot in the ab area to get cracking.  I had 10 exercises and had to complete 60 reps of each.  Without giving too much away, included in the plan were pressups, tricep dips, jumping lunges and (the evil) burpees.  OMG.  Ow ow ow.  My legs were nearly buckling beneath me, and my triceps were screaming for me to stop.  The breaks I had were just long enough to catch my breath, shake out the pain, maybe say a curse word under my breath before I kept going.  The squats I did yesterday made themselves known as I completed deep lunges that have made my glute muscles extremely sore.  My walk is now rather amusing, so goodness knows how I'll look tomorrow.  Zimmer frame?

Body Fat...yes the calipers measured me up today and I am proud to announce that I have lost 2.18% in 2 weeks which when converted means 1.58kg.  Goodbye fat!  How did I do it...through eating clean, working hard, and being dedicated to my plan!

Coconut Chocolate Brownie
Not by eating bad food, like brownie: which I baked today for Matt & Lincoln.  I had a girlfriend call in just as it had been taken out of the oven who said the house smelt looovely, and asked how I don't eat it.  To me its easy. I just 'switch off' the desire to eat the foods that arent on my plan.  She reckons she still needs to find that switch; and I reckon we all have one.  You just need to want something enough that nothing will stop you.  With all the baking I do, when I have my 'switch off' I dont taste the goods, not a lick of a spoon,  not a crumb!
