Day 1 (Sunday, 27 January) was definitely a mixed bag. I completed my first workout on the 30 Day Fitness App, and was pleasantly surprised. It was a very doable medium intensity of 5 minutes followed by a 15-minute freestyle of weights (kettlebell swings, shadow boxing with 1kg weights, bicep curls, planks e.t.c.). I am going for repetition and intensity, 30 seconds on and 30 seconds off at the moment. At this stage, I just want to get into good habits at the start of every day and increase the difficulty slowly over time. Baby steps.
The fitness App taught me the new delight ‘The Superman‘. After the first alarming twang in my not-so-flexible back, I found myself getting into it. I can’t imagine I looked very graceful though. Nadia was looking slightly amused at all the moaning and groaning. It also might have been Sooty climbing all over me that caused the hilarity.
Hit my water target which was great (why is it so hard to drink all that water?), but the food choices could have been better. I love baking, and the weekends are the best time for it so I made so homemade biscuits with huevos rancheros for breakfast. Dinner was slightly better, grilled chicken breast, and sweet potato mash.
Wins: Got off the couch and completed Day 1 of the Fitness App.
Losses: Tasty home-made biscuits…going to have to work on finding healthy baking alternatives that I’ll enjoy.
