My arms are crying today hahaha. And my boyfriend whilst trying to motivate me, decided to coach me and push me to do them, but in doing so I think I hurt my arm a bit but we will have to see when I come to do today's push ups!
Yesterday I managed the 100 lunges quite easily which I was amazed at - thought I'd battle the most with that! Maybe it's because I normally do lunges with 3kg weights, but yesterday I just used my free body weight. The plank was fine, but the pushups - YOH. Crying. ... I only managed 70 out of 100 in the day but I guess you have to start somewhere and maybe by the end I'll be a machine and do 100 in less than an hour as opposed to 70 across the day. LOL. How sad :) Got to start somewhere though!
So yesterday I did:
100 lunges
100 seconds of plank forward and on each side
70 push ups
0.5km swim (took it easy because I didnt want to over do it but also didn't want to give up my swim)
Today besides my arms being sore, my lower back is ever so slightly sore.
My diet yesterday was as follows:
7am - 1 cup coffee 1 sugar fat free milk
9am - 1 cup muesli, 1 scoop meal replacement, 1 cup fat free milk
1 multivitamin, 1500mg vitamin c, omega 3
10.30am - 0.5l water ( I normally have a snack here like an apple but was in a rush to get somewhere)
12 - 2 slices of low gi bread + 1.5tbls sweet chilli sauce + 1 chicken breast
1pm - 0.5L water
2pm - 10 almonds
2.30pm - 1 apple
3pm - 5 pistachio nuts, 10 cranberries + 1 glass water
4pm - 1 slice of low gi bread + 1 tablespoon peanut butter + 1 teaspoon honey + 2 glasses of water
6pm - Swim (0,5km)
9pm - (had to wait for the bf to finish training underwater hockey) Calamari salad (incl tomatoes, pineapple, avo, cucumber) at The Keg (Restaurant food - if you order salad - can't count as fast food!) with some side veg I stole from the bf of mushrooms, creamed spinach and 1 small piece of butternut... and um a coke light - which I remembered only after I'd ordered and received it, was a banned drink (fizzy) but to be fair, it only has 3kj so not too bad but still. I did forego the mint after that comes with the bill ... :)
Lol. This is how I feel. Struggling along - I feel so weak! Remembering how many pushups we used to do at gymnastics, at least 150 in a training session and now I can't even do 70 in a day! Shocking!! But it's okay, it will get better! A challenge isn't something that should be easy, else it isn't a challenge. It has to be something uncomfortable, something that makes you battle and I will get to the end of the month as a success! :)
