Oki doki

An ok performance today! But I can start to feel my muscles adapting to some of my workout routine so I'll have to step it up soon. Now it's tacos time, iiik it could be a trap so I'll have to pay attention to my consumption. Tomorrow it's back to Manchester for a big game on Saturday

Gym session

Went to my spin class yesterday, also worked my arms, abs and ass! Today I feel awesome! A little sore but strong and happy! 681 calories is a good session!! And I have another one this evening! :)

Next stop slimville!

So just leaving work now to go to the gym for a long session today! Going to do a spin class but before I'll do abs, ass and arms! Woohoo also my pre workout drink is whey protein powder (cookies and cream) with some organic 0.1% fat milk!

WEDNESDAY WORKOUT: Ass (wo)man

One of my favourite assets is my butt, I don't have a voluptuous chest region so  I have focused on having a nice, firm, round butt :) Here is some of the moves I love :)

 What You Need: A medium resistance band ($5; spriproducts.com); optional: a set of 5- to 10-pound dumbbells and a chair.

How to Do It: Do 8 to 12 repetitions of each exercise on each side. Do the entire routine twice through 3 times a week on nonconsecutive days. Try the Main Move first. If it's too difficult, do the Make It Easier option. For more of a challenge, try the Make It Harder version.

For Quicker Results: Do 3 sets of 10 to 15 reps every other day, and add 30 to 60 minutes of cardio, such as walking, jogging, or cycling, most days of the week.

		Main Move: Side Leg LiftsLie on right side with legs stacked, right arm bent and head supported on right hand, left hand resting on floor in front of chest for balance. Raise left leg about 2 feet, keeping foot flexed and squeezing butt. Pause, then slowly lower. Complete all reps, then switch sides.
		Make it Harder Double up: Once top leg is lifted, raise bottom leg to meet top leg, pause, and then lower one leg at a time.
		Make it Easier Bend top leg to 90 degrees, and lift with leg bent.

		Main Move: Banded ShuffleStand with feet a few inches apart, and tie elastic band in taut loop around shins, hands extended to front at shoulder level. Step about 3 feet to right, then bend knees and sit back until thighs are almost parallel to floor, keeping knees behind toes. Staying low, step left foot to follow. Take two more shuffle steps to right, then switch directions and repeat.
		Make it Harder Bend knees only 45 degrees, and step out just slightly more than hip-width.
		Make it Easier After stepping with right foot, stand and lift left leg to side for a balance challenge. Repeat toward left, lifting right foot for a side lift.

		Main Move: Balancing SquatBalance on right foot, left knee bent with foot lifted a few inches off floor in front. Keeping back straight, slowly sit back into right leg, bending right knee about 45 degrees. Pause, then press into right heel to stand up. Complete all reps, then switch sides.
		Make it Harder Complete the move holding a dumbbell in each hand.
		Make it Easier Rest left toes on floor and, if needed, use a chair or stool for balance.

		Main Move: Single Leg DeadliftBalance on right foot, with knee soft and hands on hips, left leg lifted behind. With abs tight and back straight, hinge forward from hips, lowering left hand toward right foot. Pull through right leg to return to standing. Do all reps on right leg; switch sides.
		Make it Harder Reach both hands to floor, dumbbell in each hand.
		Make it Easier Rest hand on back of chair for balance.

Food on the brain

I am getting so sick of thinking about food all the time! As I weighed myself and I am doing progress (60's here I come) I want to keep the momentum going but that makes me think of food all the time!

Todays food menu
1 bowl Oat So simple Cinnamon Oatmeal with 0.1% fat Milk = 207 cal
Snack 1 square of chocolate = 30 cal
1 cup of coffee with splash of milk = 15
1 cup of Organic Clipper Tea = 0
1 already made spaghetti Bolognese = arround 500 cal

Today I wont have time to go to the gym, might try to convince my boyfriend that we go for a walk, but if not then Ill only have 448 calories left to eat today if I still want to be in the clear.

Maybe a sallad? and 2 light snacks?

Then comes the question, what to eat tomorrow?

Tuesday Tunes

New on the playlist :)

Monday Funday!

Its Monday! Another day to start my life over! I did well this weekend, worked a game and that is always tricky to keep to eating at the right time and working out. Even if running up and down the stairs is quite good exercise. Today is spin class day, so I am meeting my with my love and we are going to sweat together :)
