Week 4, Day 2

With each passing day, my level of excitement is just skyrocketing here. I think I’m going to cap the YouTube videos and Googling for a while. This perpetual state of extreme happiness and excitement can’t possibly be healthy for my heart. 😛 😛 😛

Meals of the day

Meal 1: 1 scoop of whey protein, 1 multivitamin (at 16 00)

Snack: 2 Danone Actimel (at 18 00)

Meal 2: Tuna paste with bread biscotti (at 22 00)

week 4, day 2

Gym

Steady rate cardio at speed 8.5 for 10 minutes followed by HIIT for 20 minutes at speeds 5.7 and 11.5-12.0.

Day 2: Shoulders, biceps, triceps

Week 4, Day 1

YAY… My weight is once again below 60 kg! 😀 😀 😀

This is a big moment. Huge actually. No messing about this time. I’m NEVER going to let myself get fat again, bar if and when I someday decide I want a kid. Then again, there is surrogacy! 😛 😛 😛

LOL!!

If you couldn’t tell, I was having a moment there. Moving on..

Next Monday I leave for Rome. I decided that I’m going to do things a little differently this time. Usually when I go on holiday I disappear and I only resurface on the blog once I’m back. But I’m not going to disappear this time. I will keep updating the blog daily. It would be nice to write about my day and tell you guys what I’m up to. It seems like I’m always talking gym and tuna and grilled chicken. It would be nice to talk about more pleasant things for a change. Like did you know Vatican City is actually a country? The world’s smallest country, with its own government, that makes its own laws, that are enforced by its own police, who put people who break them in its own jail. It also has its own bank, prints its own stamps, issues its own license plates AND it has its own top level domain, .va!

I didn’t know any of that! So yeah, the blog is going to get updated everyday and we’ll talk about things other than weight loss. I might throw in a few weight loss details here and there but that’s inevitable if I’m writing about my meals.

And speaking of meals…

Meals of the day

Meal 1: Stir-fried rice noodles (at 17 00)

Snack: Skipped it

Meal 2: 3 bread rolls with sardines (at 21 00)

week 4, day 1

Week 3, Day 7

So I leave for Rome in 7 days! I’m so excited! 😀 😀 😀 I think this trip is going to be one of my best so far. The city seems promising. People rave about the food. And above all else, I’m looking forward to some serious shopping. I can’t wait…

Meals of the day

Meal 1: Tesco’s Frosted Flakes (1 serving) with skimmed milk (at 14 00)

Snack: 1 mango, 2 bananas (at 16 00)

Meal 2: Beef and vegetable stir-fry (at 19 30)
