Let me check in.
Last week I changed my diet by reducing my carb intake to about 20% of my diet. Within the week, I have noticed some nice drops in my scale weight. This is a good sign. I don't feel "fat" anymore, and feeling leaner. I'm going to finally give into curiosity tonight and do my measurements, let's see if there are any changes. I have dropped a pants size though - so there is hope.
I have also registered for a 4 week Leg & Glute Challenge. The before photo's were shocking as I am more "bottom heavy". So was a moment of feeling ashamed, and determined to make the change in my legs (which is always the case). My goal for the Leg & Glute Challenge is to increase the strength in my legs, and obviously benefit from a more leaner and shapely thighs. Week 1 complete, and feeling good.
Have registered for my third Triathlon, as well as swimming a mile at Lake Eland in November. Registered and paid, now determined to improve my performance. I've readjusted my training programme a bit to include more strength training, as well as longer cardio sessions. I'm still battling with fasted cardio in the mornings, as I am just too tired to get out of bed. Feels like there is just not enough hours in the day to fit everything in. But will get there eventually.
My lifestyle habits have definitely improved, where I'm easily resisting temptation over weekends and enjoying the healthier options. Take out is extremely expensive when you're eating clean!!! Learning the art of eating before I go to any event, saving me the painful urge to indulge in the little yummies!
