What a murderous day to be on a diet. I think this is the first year I've never had pancakes on pancake day. Gutted :-( Make sure you're enjoying yours for me too - lemon & sugar, nutella & banana..... mmmmm!!! I looked up some "healthy" protein pancakes but to be honest I'd rather not bother, suck it up and say no thank you.
I'm only on day two (part two) and I feel so much better for eating healthy and getting plenty of sleep. I've not been as strict as I usually am, BBQ Beef Hula Hoops got the better of me today. I had wicked cravings for salt which was really odd, its the first time I've craved salt, usually its just sugar. This time round I decided to not deprive myself and went for it and they were so good :-) Perhaps the key to me not falling off the wagon again, and looking like a total idiot I may add, is to satisfy small cravings like that so I don't feel deprived. Just not every day.
Today's workouts were a morning cardio session, - 30 minutes on the stepper. 20 minutes static at level 10 then I couldn't resist but to do the last 10 in intervals of 30 second level 20, 30 second level 7. Gosh it was hard! Tonight I trained arms (biceps and triceps), 4 bicep and 4 tricep exercises and 3 sets to failure each and did a 5 minute sprint at the end just for good measure. My triceps are screaming but reckon I could have worked my biceps harder.
I'm feeling good if not a little impatient, I just wish I was a couple of weeks along the line and seeing noticeable results, but that will come in time. Food is made to take to work tomorrow and I have loaded up my pre workout meal with a bit of extra carbs as its deadlift day..... eeeeekkkkk!!! Big muscle group - back and legs - so fueling up appropriately.
Love
