G'day mate!!
I've had another great weekend out and about exploring the greatest country in the world - and this weekend took me to Kangaroo Island with my partners folks and granny.
The weather wasn't amazing but the rain held out and we got to see so many cool things e.g. seals, goannas, wild koalas and even a queen bee! Super cool :)
Now that I've completed week 1, I wanted to write about Michelle Bridge's 12WBT. I found the food to be simple and tasty. I was pretty excited to be able to incorporate some bread with my food and found the greatest gluten free loaf since, well sliced bread!! lol daggy ;-)
Yeh, so the meals are simple, you don't feel like you're cutting anything out of your diet and its a great combo of proteins, good carbs and veg. I particularly like the fact that there is a meal plan and exercise plan, its all laied out for me and I don't have to think too much. If I want I can mix up the meals and do swaps and the same with the exercise plan so its good like that. The most exciting thing I have found is that I am finding some of the intermediate workouts easy so I've added extra things or switched to advanced! YEH BOI!
So I found the week to be easy, I did all the workouts and ate so well... but then the weekend came... as usual I wasn't prepared well enough. Since we were having visitors and going away I didn't really have much control over the food, they went shopping while I was at work but were kind enough to buy a heap of veg and fruit. I made some bircher muesli before we left and stressed that I wanted to keep my food simple and healthy - without having to explain I was on a diet to a sports scientist... Anyway, I didn't have access to calorie counters so I had to guess. We had a BBQ and salads most of the time so I thought I was okay... Got home and found out that I had gone waaay over!! The cheese platter and a glass of wine with every meal - yes just one glass - was enough to tip me well over the edge!! Oh and not to mention the grilled eggplant that was drowned in oil (which I didn't find out till later).
Anyway, even though I thought I was okay, I wasn't. Lesson learned. I now know that one premixed Bacardi is around 300 calories and doesn't even taste very good, and that cheese is pure evil! I do NOT need 3 serves of blue cheese no matter how excited my taste buds get.
So this is the start of week 2 and already manipulating the menu, we have only just gotten home (mid day) and about to do the food shopping - so I need to be organised prep and all that lovely stuff that my partner hates! AND my Sunday is now no longer a rest day since I wont be doing anything today but resetting my priorities.
Weigh in is Wednesday so I am freaking out! I lost 1.5kg last week and I am terrified that I will have a gain due to my stupidity over the weekend. Oh well, week 1 lesson learned, now to move on and become sexy hot!
BTW that 1.5kg meant I made it to reward number 1 and I got my HRM - damn do I love that thing!
peace out xx
