Yehhhhhhhhh this is new and awkward , I tend to need a bit of enthusiastic support but I need this so here is my accountability battle log

Eggy frittata with onion, tomato, cauliflower, peas, and mushroom

Vegetable soup homemade for lunch...

The husband wants steak and ale pie for tea.... oh dear! !

Fitness: 1 circuit completed, obviously didn't realised quite how shockingly crud I had become since last year pre preg and baby so ive signed up for the 6 week challenge!

Wish this noob luck and if anyone has any recipes for pies/recipes let this mummybear know

Ps whats tge general consensus on body shots for seeing improvement?

Breakfast was a fruit omelette

Lunch was a huge salad with baked fish

Snacks handful at a time in tbe morning and afternoon of cherries from tge tree in my garden

Teatime/supper I was ill and the only thing I could seem to keep down was a tiny bit of pastry... EPIC FAIL! So im back to square one

It was a rest day so I just had a walk as exercise

26/7/2013

Still feeling pretty shocking when I woke up so I had a handful of cherries from the tree in the garden,

For lunch I had a chicken and mushroom sandwich with lettuce as my bread and for tea I had salmon, a few slices of sweet potato and a big salad

I managed to do a BIG work out for me at least, in total;

30 body squats

30 push ups

50 walking lunges (25 each leg)

60 DB Rows (30 each arm)

15 second plank (5, 10, 0)

Considering I couldnt finish the the beginner's workout on Wednesday or even 1 circuit ive definitely found what works, cutting tge reps to finish the work out and then building it up

And I feel fab today (27th)

Keep on rocking it! You're an excellent self-historian

[mummybear]

Thank you so much TheHalfie ive struggled the last few days but I think if I put enough details in I can pick up patterns of what works and what doesn't

[TheHalfie]

That's my thinking too. Are you doing the 6 week challenge as well as this battle log?

[mummybear]

Im doing the 6 week challenge but im finding that im just repeating myself if I do both challenge log as well unless im not quite grasping the point of the challenge log properly?

[TheHalfie]

The way i did is i had a battle log before the challenge started, but i mainly post to the challenge log now that its challenge time. Creatong a picture for your profile and being active on other peoples challenge threadsnis a great way to get people curious about yours too. But i agree, doing both at the same time is a little repetitive

[mummybear]

Ahhhh I get it, it does make sense, I'll keep this as a 'before' challenge start then and switch over to me other one I think ive been reading others I havent commented much and I really need to join an accountabilibuddies group so maybe I can find one on there as well

Weight today 217.75

That's 42-ish lbs lost so far. .... HOWEVER. ..

It was confirmed this morning that I am expecting bambino number 2, which explains the random cravings for cheese and onion flavour crackers again and hot chocolate. ... which when I was pregnant with babybear led to me putting on 5 STONE! !! which is 70lb!!

So obviously I've got to come up with a sustainable eating and exercise plan that will keep me healthy and active....

I have a treadmill, I can do bodyweight workouts and I can eat paleo the only thing is ive already managed to eat a whole box of Sour cream and chive crackers so im going to have to come up with some sort of strategy for cooling with cravings which were pretty full on the first time around :/

But shush, we're not telling anyone else until we're sure everything is alright with bambino
