Monday Weigh In

Not a pretty sight this morning... 187lbs... 2lbs away from 189lbs... I never want to see 189lbs on the scale again..The weekend was really good exercise wise but not great food wise... a bit of boredom eating and quite alot of wine AGAIN... Never mind... over it... 

My plan this week is to make sure I get all my exercise in, make sure I am 100% good on my food not drink during the week and just really keep my head down and stay on track. I have been thinking of ways to shake up my food to make sure I can keep on track and lose this extra 5lbs that I am carrying around... I have done alot of reading and thinking and have decided that I am going to try the following... At the moment my workout routine is as follows: 

Mon: Run

Tues: Run

Wed: Rest

Thurs: Run

Fri: Run

Sat: What I want

Sun: Rest

But I actually want to change this and bring back the toning exercises that I did for a while but never actually gave a chance to work.... So I am going to change it to: 

Mon: Run

Tues: Toning

Wed: Run

Thurs: Toning

Fri: Run

Sat: What I want

Sun: Rest

Now on the days that I am doing the toning I am going to incorporate my own style of the 5:2 Diet...at the moment I am not sticking to my calories and feel that if I do a mix of both then I will defo come in on target in regards to my calorie deficit. The toning days I won't be actually burning a huge amount of calories as will be toning instead... so on Tues and Thurs I want to have a recovery protein shake for breakfast after my workout and then have 2 home made juices during the day followed by a light dinner of soup or salad. I have read alot about juicing and I do believe that if used correctly they would be a great benefit to anybodys diet... I know for certain that I don't get enough fruit and veg in my diet so am excited to incorporate it. 

So this is it... the start of me getting tough on myself...becoming serious and taking it to the next level. 14lbs...14 weeks... getting rid of the 5lbs extra and making myself a healthier and better person.
