Did 10 stair sprints yesterday and walked to and from the stairs so it was about 45 minutes of walking and 15-18 minutes of stair sprints. Super hot! Definitely felt the burn by the 10th one!

Today I just went for a 45 minute walk with the doggo! Going to do some glute med strength exercises after work cause the osteopath said my glute med on the left side is incredibly weak and contributing to my hip/back problems! Also my left leg is slightly shorter than my right.. who knew? Haha.

Been super good with my cardio and keeping moving! And exercising the puppy dog. But do need to put some more time into strength, yoga and stretching!

My eating choices have been pretty good since I stocked my fridge and cupboard with healthy foods! It makes it a lot easier to make healthy choices! However, when I go to work it’s a different story! Too many temptations (I’m a nanny so the family have lots of snacks) and I just keep grazing! So need to make some goals around that!

Overall, I’m feeling amazing and happy with the start to my healthy lifestyle! And I’m keen to continue reflecting on and growing my healthy mindset.

Update

So I’ve been a bit slack with my fitness the last few days! Not sure what’s happening but I’m just procrastinating like crazy and doing nothing! My study and my fitness is suffering.

However, I have stuck to my clean eating regime! Super proud of that. I was craving hot and spicy wings from KFC (which I never usually crave) for 3 days. And I kept putting it off. Till finally I decided I would go get some and I made a salad to go with it. Pretty proud of myself for that ☺️ usually when I crave something I just go get it. And usually it’s chocolates or sweets.

I haven’t really been craving chocolate or anything actually. I’ve been having a berry smoothie each day (frozen berries, Greek yoghurt, unsweetened almond milk, [lots of] spinach, and some chia seeds) which I think has curbed that craving! It’s amazing!

So I’ve been waking up and having my overnight oats, then a smoothie around 11/12 (depending on what time I wake up). Then lunch at 2:30 ish because I’ve been on afternoon shifts at the hospital. It’s working really well but afternoon shifts always destroy my productivity :(

My goals this week:

▪️Stretch and do glute med exercise daily

▪️Continue my healthy eating

▪️Go for 2-3 runs

▪️Make a to do list for studying and spend at least 2 hours a day (Monday-Friday) focusing on study. Head to the library if I’m struggling to focus.

So far this month..

I have been pretty laxed. I mean I've gotten up at 5am and gone to yoga a couple of times. But my eating had been so far off point. I've been tempted to weigh myself. Not at home because I've put the scale away and if I don't see the scale I don't think about it much. But at work (I'm a nanny), whenever I use the bathroom there's a scale right there. And hopping on it is just a bad habit I got into. But I've held on to the no weighing! 5th day :) And today, I got my a into gear. I told myself 'no half assing this. I need to put my all into it. I need to get shit done'. It's only 11.30am but already I've accomplished a bit in terms of being on track. I made a chart with all my daily goals and my possible goals (ie yoga, running, RPM, squat challenge etc (choose 1-2 a day)). I got up at 5am for my very first RPM Class. And man oh man is my but sore. Those seats are not very comfortable. And I even had the gel seat. The people in the class were so friendly afterwards (they could tell I was new haha) and the lady said you get used to the seats. Then I did my morning routine before heading to work at taking the girls to dancing. And when I looked in the dancing mirror while the girls were dancing, I realised just how AMAZING my legs are. Like they're not perfect obviously, I still have 20+ kilos to lose. But damn. I'm 6'4 and they're long and starting to get tanned again and I just need to appreciate how awesome they are! Anyway, will keep you guys updated when I can! Thankyou so much to all of my new followers! I've gained so many since I put out my before and after picture and I'm so greatful! Have a wonderful day/night everyone :D x
