Told you…JINXED!!
So Week 16 is under way. I’m 3 days in and so far, it’s been going great! Monday was a good day. Loved the number on the weight scale. I am now a mere 3 kg from my original target weight. And yesterday (so on Tuesday), I increased my cardio intensity with my HIIT speeds now hitting 5.8-6.2 (walking speed) and 13.5 (sprinting speed). This is an all time high for me. I’ve never been able to hit those numbers before.
Fun times!!
And of course this week’s picture…
Monday May 26th
Meals of the day
So because I went a little crazy on Sunday with my eating, I was extra good on Monday.
Meal 1: 1 scoop of whey protein, a multivitamin
Snack: Watermelon (1 wedge), 1 apple, 1 low-fat, low-calorie yoghurt
Meal 2: Tuna salad
Gym
Day 1: Back, chest, abs
Steady rate cardio for 10 minutes at speed 9.0 followed by HIIT for the next 20 minutes at speeds 5.7 and 13.0.
Tuesday May 27th
Tuesday was a fun day. First off, it started really well because I hit those high numbers on the treadmill. Secondly, I decided to do that thing I do: Dig in my wardrobe and try on the clothes I have previously not been able to get into. It was a revelation. SO MANY CLOTHES FIT ME NOW! Which gave me the fun idea that when I do get to 55 kg, that will bring the weight loss part of my journey to an end right? I’m thinking, because I painstakingly redid my whole wardrobe over the last year and that cost a little fortune, those clothes deserve to be out there with me in them.
So once I’m done with the weight loss part of what I’m trying to do, I’ll put up a gallery. It might take me a while to do it because I don’t want to do selfies. I will actually need someone to help me with that but I will get to it and I will put up that gallery.
With that said, because I was so good on Monday food wise, I thought, let me keep that up.
Meals of the day
Meal 1: 1 scoop of whey protein, a multivitamin
Snack: Watermelon (1 wedge) 1 low-fat, low-calorie yoghurt
Meal 2: 3 chicken fajitas
So essentially…
Tortillas
+ Chicken
+ Salsa
Healthy eating doesn’t get easier or more delectable than that.
Gym
Day 2: Shoulders, biceps, triceps
Steady rate cardio at speed 9.5 for 10 minutes followed by HIIT for the next 20 minutes at speeds 5.8-6.0 (walking speed) and 13.5 (sprinting speed).
Wednesday May 28th
Which brings us to today. Gym went well. Diet, that’s another story! I ate out and as is the norm, when I eat out, I only have the one meal. I think by now you know what I had for dinner. I’m very predictable like that. What’s the one thing that keeps coming up under my food section week in week out?
That’s right…
SUBWAY!!
Lucky me, the nutritional value of my favorite sub is fair enough. The Chicken Teriyaki sub is actually a low-calorie sub. Otherwise losing weight wouldn’t be happening so efficiently!
And after dinner, I had the brownie from Burger King. I’ve been obsessing about that brownie for so long now. The last time I had it was sometime late March I think. I keep meaning to include it in one of my cheat meals but I never seem to get around to it.
It was so good! The wait was totally worth it.
Isn’t it magnificent?
I know right..
Gym
Steady rate cardio at speeds 8.6, 9.2 and 9.8 for 3x 10 minutes respectively.
