Sorry for the lack of posting guys... I feel like whenever I come here, that's all I say.
I'm trying to squeeze blogging in, but have just been reading others lately, not too focused on my own.
I just made some colour changes to my blog which I'm pretty happy with. Maybe this will inspire me to write more.
I want to try and get here more so I can document things, not just do an overall post of stuff.
So I had my DEXA Scan Mid March, which was so informative. The scan shows how much fat and muscle is on each part of my body, and I then had the consult with Jarrod at Body Compositon . Jarrod discussed nutrition with me, and spoke of me not going under 1500-1650 calories per day, otherwise my body is in starvation mode. He said if i stuck to 1200, i would lose weight, but then plateau, and probably gain. Cue light bulb moment!
He advised me to eat 1600 calorie per day (not being too strict, as some will be less, some more) and burn 1800 calories per week in training. When i saw him, I had just signed up to do boot camp x 2 per week, and x 3 Couch to 5k runs.
I have since cancelled boot camp, due to Master8's soccer on sat morning (too hard to do boot camp before, and wouldn't make it some days) and the weather. Yeah... i know... But i am just not once to do boot camp in the mud and rain. I know that, so to me there is no point paying for it and pretending I'll go, when i won't.I will sign up again in July August, once the weather has improved.
I have also battled tonsillitis twice in the past 5-6 weeks. This has meant feeling like utter crap, being diagnosed with low iron, and now having my daily intake of tablets be 2x multivitamin, 1x iron, 2 x vitamin C. I have a senior citizen pill pox! I am on the mend, however at the moment (TMI coming up..) I have my period and thrush from the antibiotics, as well as today, a headache I can't shake( trying to hydrate and get rid of it) What a barrel of laughs!
Anyway I'm off to do some cleaning, drinks some water, write some work reports and go for a run! Busy but hopefully productive day ahead.
Happy Easter everyone
