technically, we're at the end of week2/beginning of week 3.
however, cos i sucked at being organised when the 12wbt kicked-off, i missed week 1. so i chose to follow the week 1 exercise and nutrition plans during week 2.
so today - february 25 - marks the beginning of week 3. this week, i will focus on doing a mix of both week 2 and week 3's exercise plans. i will mix up the week 2 & 3 nutrition plans too. i don't ever completely follow the nutrition plans, simply because they often include things i don't eat (seafood and pork).
anyway, here's my take on how my first week on the 12wbt went: crapola.
exercise wise i didn't do too bad.
monday i did not want to go to the gym. but i pulled a big JFDI card, went to the gym for an hour of cardio and surprised myself with my calorie burn - 759 calories in 1 hr 12 mins.
tuesday i did a body step class, as well 15 minutes of walking prior to starting the class. surprised myself again with the calorie burn - 838 calories in 1 hr 15 mins.
wednesday i did an hour of cardio at 6am - 672 calories gone there.
i then went back at 9:30am and did an hour of weights - 497 calories.
thursday i walked to the gym, did body pump and walked home again. 4km all up, 1 hr 48 mins of exercise, and 679 calories gone.
and that's where my good streak of exercise ended. friday mornings the little miss and i do swimming lessons for half an hour. i have to get in the water with her as she's not 2 yet. while we're at swimming, the bug is in the gym creche, as swimming lessons are at the same place as my gym. however, by the time i get little miss down to the creche, bug has been there for nearly an hour. the maximum amount of time kids are allowed at the creche is an hour. elba, the carer didn't mind bug being there longer, but i got 20 minutes into my workout and realised bug had been there over an hour and a half. so next week, i think bug will come with me to swimming and sit in the pram with my iPad in it's apptivity case! i didn't get to exercise on saturday. i don't normally, it's my rest day and we go to church. i'd been hoping to go to the gym on sunday, however we had a working bee at bubble's school, which took a bit longer than expected and by the time we got home, the agent was shattered.
at weigh-in on wednesday morning, the scales told me i lost 1.2kg. i really don't know how i managed that, to be honest!! and since breakfast that day, my nutrition went AWOL. i've started using 'my fitness pal' - if you're on there, add me! my username at the moment is mumma_oolala however when i work out how to change it, i will be!! using MFP i've realised a bit more how many calories are in foods i eat. so at weigh-in on wednesday, i'm expecting a gain. big or small, i don't know. obviously hoping for small or nothing at all! but i know that i've stuffed up. i have let my head get in the way of everything, and i will accept whatever numbers happen to appear on that little screen on wednesday morning.
so there is definite room for improvement!! room for improvement in all areas - organisation, nutrition, exercise, everywhere!
and as today is monday, i've not had the best start to the week. didn't go to the gym at 6am, nor did i go at 9:30am! i've had a red bull and a chocolate, simply because i 'felt like it'. and why didn't i exercise? because i 'didn't feel like it'!!!!!! ugh.
i'm going to spend the rest of today getting dinner ready for tonight, and as much stuff ready for tomorrow as i can so as i don't have to do it tonight. big bang theory is on tonight, so must have everything done before i can watch it!! once i get the bubble from school we'll come home for a bit, but then i'll be taking advantage of the creche being open this afternoon, and we'll be going to the gym at 4:30pm.
fingers crossed next week's wrap up is a little bit more positive!
