B'fast: Coffee & high protein smoothy

Lunch: leftover ribs and 1 low-carb wrap

Dinner: Pulled chicken on 1 low-carb wraps and Greek yoghurt

Total carbs around 42

What a day. Did 2 gym classes this morning. Started at 8.15am with a aerobics + abs for 1 hr, had 20 minute break with a high protein smoothy and then went on to a kickboxing class for another hour.

I was exhausted but felt great until after my visit to the supermarket to do housewifery stuff. Slowly but surely my body started to seize up. I was absolutely wacked this afternoon .

Stiff as a board, cant move and ache all over. Think I'll be needed my muscle rub tonight

And no-one would believe me if I said that I used to do this 5 days per week! I cant believe how out of condition I am.

Again, a couple of good days and a couple of bad. Six Nations Rugby was a bad day and I seem to be getting the taste for night time chocolate again

Is it all worth it?

Total carbs for the last four days about 300 OMG

You wouldn't be wrong in thinking I wont be weighing myself on Wednesday

Tomorrow however, is my double whammy at the gym. Think I can lose a couple of pounds?

Both days I went without breakfast... Ooops. Never been one to eat first thing in the morning and yes, I know it has to stop.

Had a 3 egg omelet with onions and tomatoes and 1 low carb wrap at lunch today and later this afternoon I had a little chocolate.....sugar free chocolate. 7 carbs in total for that.

Made a delicious beef and broccoli chinese. Everyone enjoyed it although I was really thirsty after. I took photos that I will post tomorrow night.

Another gym visit today. Step plus abs so I must have burned off around 150 calories. Tomorrow is Pilates class. Got to get rid of this darn 2lb gain.

Getting back into the gym is making me feel more healthy although it cant help feeling that being healthy all the time can be pretty boring? Is it just me?

Todays carbs comes to around 50

The week has been going well'ish.... some days have been very good but others very very bad. Take today for instance. Went out for lunch and I ordered a sensible low-carb meal BUT it came with biscuits (savoury scones). I dont normally touch them but it's been so cold and I needed that extra stodge and before I knew it they were gone...

suffice to say, I wont bother counting my carbs this week.

Went to the gym class 3 times: 1 Body Works + Abs, 1 Kickboxing and 1 Pilates

PS...I gained 2lb

Dont know why I bother

B'fast: Half banana and coffee

Lunch: 1 small homemade cookie and coffee Ooops

Snack: 1 packet of low-carb crisps

Dinner: Meatballs with mixed salad and 2 low-carb wraps

Snack: 2 cubes of high cocoa chocolate

Carbs for today about 45

There I go again. Not bringing a low-carb lunch with me and grabbing a cookie on the way out of the office. It was only small though, like 1" round so I am guess'timating that it was around 10carbs for the one cookie. Then I had an appointment and didnt finish until 2.30pm and straight to school for 3pm pickup. At least I had my low-carb crisps.

Well, my body is slowly mending from Monday's gym escapade and tomorrow is Pilates

It may look nice and relaxing but let me tell you, I ache for longer after Pilates than I do after aerobics

HAPPY PANCAKE TUESDAY!!

Hungry day

BUT kept within my carb limit. Need to have 1 very low-carb day to make up for the 3 bad days I had but it's too late. My weigh-in is tomorrow

I have administered muscle rub to the effected areas since my 2 aerobic classes yesterday. The muscle rub got hotter and hotter and I ended up sweating and had to swab myself down and change my nighty

WOW muscle rub really does get hot !

B'fast: Half banana and half slice of wholewheat bread and butter

Snack: 1 low-carb bar

Lunch: Cream cheese and tomatoes on 2 low-carb wraps

Dinner: Homemade pulled pork in BBQ sauce with 2 low-carb wraps

Not such a bad day. Gym visit at 8:15am today and stayed there until 10am

I did 2 aerobic classes. 1 - Bodyworks + Abs and Kickboxing (although I left kickboxing 10 minutes early). I must have burned off about 400 calories between the two AND I felt I should have taken a protein bar with me because my energy levels were low when I finished.

I'm not one of those that feels like you can take on the whole day........well, not yet anyway, but I'll keep it going. My next visit is Wednesday for a respectable Pilates class and maybe I will do little aqua-fit after that. Ja'think I'm doing too much ?

I cant believe I used to go to the gym for 2 hrs Monday to Friday every single week.... If I had an instructor like Lesley McCan I would still be doing that (well, apart from Tuesdays because it's 'meeting day' at work....I miss you Lesley

Yeah Baby!! Bring it on !!

What can I say.....

It all started with the Super Bowl....

Great game and the adverts and lighting (if you watched it) were great entertainment

Apart from 1 gym visit for a Body Works + Abs which was really good, there has been a bout of carbs and lots of them were had by all, really good, tasty and addictive. And it's been down hill ever since....

I will get back up tomorrow morning with a trip to the gym for a Pilates class. I need to spend more time working out and I will force myself to do it.

And I havent put any weight on??!!! Go figure

Apart from a disastrous week with carbs I have some great news...

B'fast: Coffee

Lunch: Broccoli cheese soup and half elephants foot

Dinner: Cup of chicken soup and caesar salad without croutons

Total carbs for today around 48

Only one small blip at lunch time with the pastry but everything else was so low in carbs that it's OK.

Looking forward to Super Bowl tomorrow, although I am in work until 4pm. Plenty of time to get back and start preparing. Fortunately I did the food shop 2 days ago.

I can be organized for one day at least....Cant wait.

I LOVE FOOOOOOD

6 NATIONS SATURDAY

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY

On with my Daily Log...

B'fast: Coffee

Late Lunch: Packet of low-carb crisps and Greek yoghurt

Dinner: Meatballs in pomedoro sauce with 1 low-carb wrap

Snack: Low-carb yoghurt

Total carbs for today about 45

Even though I didn't plan ahead with lunch I had another good low-carb day. Lunch was around 2.30pm. I rarely get it right as I almost never know when I am going to be so busy I dont have time for lunch at lunch time....if that makes any sense

I have had a few people contact me about my book being half price on some website. The interior look of the book will not be as good with regard to picture quality but yes, everything else is the same in that they are the same recipes.
