2 weeks on - So far so good!

Afternoon!

2 weeks after Easter and my progression isn't too bad!

My exercise habits are yet to be picked up, but I'm trying my hand and just eating away the fat I stored. It took 2-3 weeks, but I finally shifted 1kg.

I ate cleanly for most of the week, having either half a banana or a small bowl of my gluten free quinoa muesli for breakfast, a protein shake at some point in the day, and a lot of cuppa-soups to keep up my blood pressure. I haven't been drinking nearly enough water to compensate for that yet, so that's part II of my challenge - raising up the water in-take.

I've tried my hand at some more vegetarian options in an attempt to cleanse myself a little and had some alright success!

I made a tofu and greens stirfry:

I made a portion size that was waaay too big - I really need to make sure I start using the medium sized plates (a great tip to watch portion size, for those of you playing at home!)

I also bought a huge pot to make a week's worth of veggie soup! I tried to make it fun by using purple carrots instead of your garden variety orange ones. (See what I did there?)
 


So not only was it fun to look at, it was packed full of nutrients like carrots, celery, onion, capsicum and parnsip! With a shit tonne of garlic of course.

For two weeks, I'm going to try doing a series of body weight exercises to get things moving a little, and try to do a bit more cardio on top of that at least 3 times a week.


Here's to good eating!
