Diary: Day 5.

Hello all!

It's been one of those days that has dragged on sooooo much, but you realise you have done quite a lot, which has made me feel quite proud of myself! Gym session this morning which woke me up for the day ahead and I enjoyed it very much!

The feeling after a workout is something different to any other!

I get a real buzz after a workout, especially in the morning when you don't really know what you're doing and the eyes are still puffy from sleeping. I prefer working out in the morning to any other time of day- prepared for what the day will throw at you!

 

 

 

GET UP AND GET OUT.

Food:

• Breakfast: small bowl of Tesco Fruit and Fibre with soya milk
• Lunch: 2 ryvita with tuna, Muller Light yogurt with a sprinkle of dried fruit.
• Dinner: 2 cups of pasta with baked beans and small amount of grated cheese.

I felt severly full after my dinner, but I was unbelievably hungry. The fact that I had quite a hefty workout left me feeling hungrier than I would if exercising in the evening or middle of the day (if I was playing a netball match). I always eat AFTER my workout, as I hate working on a full stomach and you enjoy breakfast more too.

Exercise:

• 15 minutes cross trainer
• 10 minutes rowing
• 10 minutes cycling (intervals)
• 10 minutes stepper
• 4 sets of 13 Bicep curls, 14kg weight.

A very sweaty workout today but it was so good to have a mix-up of exercises, as I don't like running on a machine for an hour (it just bores me!) Rowing is great for a warm up and also a brilliant all-round workout for the body. I would have liked to have done more weight training but wanted to concentrate on the CV!

That's it for today folks, lots of Uni work to be getting on with and an early night is required! Bye for now :)
