Its Thursday, YAY! Thursday is a sacred day in the world of Jac. Its my day off :) This one is even sweeter as its followed by a public holiday tomorrow for the Gold Coast Show! This morning I did my usual sparring training 30 minutes, Max Heart Rate 182, (277kCal burn) followed by brunch with the girls (Gluten free wholemeal bread, smoked trout, 2 poached eggs, mushrooms at La Cloche) then some retail therapy. Lunch was a capeseed roll with 200g chicken. Followed by a remedial massage on my shoulders and neck.
Tonight I had a task set for me by Ian. To get to training on-time, even early. Friends who know me well, also know that me and being on time, usually don't mix. Funnily enough at 150kg I was never on time. I can remember being a work from home parent, getting out of bed at 7.30am, for a manic half an hour to get everyone to school. That was a few years ago now, gladly I am usually upno later then 5.30am weekdays, and we leave the house at 7am. Is it Manic? Most of the time..... they are kids, does it ever run smoothly? Always some socks or shoes that decide to run and hide right at that critical time.
Long story short, I got there on time! WOOHOO! Almost beat the trainer. Tonights session was great. More resistance training and boxing, then running. Also lots of laughs, and good chats. WE still ran.... of course!!! My abdominal muscles will claim tomorrow that they had a beating. With close to 100 situps, a few planks, some sit up side kinda boxing with your legs at right angles, and one must never forget the squats. Plus some quick jabs, firm jab crosses, and some kicking. The bags took a beating!! I think its going to hurt tomorrow lol. 49 minutes workout Max heart rate 172 (328kCal burn) I came home to a yummy tuna, tomato, cos lettuce salad. Beautiful!
I had a phone call from my trainer this afternoon, checking up on my Metabolic Jumpstart Day 4. WE discussed a few things which I had highlighted. Firstly, hello eating all 6 food groups. It comes down to portion control, sticking to your targets. Focus, Discipline, and Commitment. News just to hand.....I need to really FOCUS on my nutrition!!! I am training well, burning the calories, and not losing weight. So guess what.... its time to cut the fat, close my mouth, stop popping a little bit of this and a little bit of that in there..... because a little can become a lot real quick! Story of my life. I have been burning the calories, now its time to knuckle down and focus on reaching my nutrition targets.
Whats ahead of me this weekend. Time for weekly weights session tomorrow or Saturday, then we have lots of family coming to visit for the weekend. Next Step Into Life session for me is Sunday (yes Fathers Day lol) Cardiomax - Enduro. Catch you all then :) Tomorrows Blog is a 110% HONEST... every moment FOOD DIARY! Now there is accountability to log in for!
I can feel salad season coming!!! WOOHOOO!!
