Hey everyone!
hope you have all had a fab weekend!
Day #14
I started yesterday with a mug of warm water, slice of lemon and 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar... and a 13 mile run!!
This is the first time I have hit this distance since doing the Cardiff half marathon last October.
The first 6 miles was an absolute dream and I was loving every second of it. After then though I felt every mile! At 10 miles, I thought I was going to pass out, at 11 miles I thought I was going to die, at 12 miles I thought I had died and I hardly remember the last mile... apart from seeing the finish point!
With all that in mind I felt frigging fantastic when I finished and I know that it will just get easier and easier every week.
So I had burned off well over 1300 calories before breakfast so when I got home, it was a lovely bowl of warm porridge!
Quaker 'Big Bowl' oats
250ml almond milk
teaspoon of honey
and a banana
352 CALORIES
It was a quick shower and change for me then off to Cardiff with the ladies!
The plan was to watch the match at my friends house with a few drinks and then off into Cardiff for a drink and a dance, but we ended up staying at my friends place all night.
We grabbed a salad from Morrisons, snacked on crisps and sipped on vodka through the evening.
By 9pm I was bloody shattered and maybe had a few too many vodkas, I can not drink like I used to.
We caught the 9.10 train home and I was all tucked up in bed by 9.30pm - I didn't even go to Pizza factory!
So what was meant to be a bad nutritional day, didn't turn out quite as bad afterall!
Day #15
So Rob has asked me to change my diet completely! I am now on a high protein diet, looking for between 150 - 200g of protein per day.
This is all completely new to me so I have done some research today and made little plans for the week.
I kicked off today at 6am with a Protein shake 21g of protein and 115 calories
BREAKFAST 8AM
It was my usual breakfast today but instead of using 250ml of almond milk, I used 250ml of Soya milk as soya milk is higher in protein.
40g Oats - 5g protein 150 calories
banana - 1.5g protein 120 calories
250ml soya milk - 5g protein 68 calories
11.5g PROTEIN
338 CALORIES
SNACKS 10AM
20g pumpkin seeds - 6g protein 124 calories
LUNCH 12PM
5 slices of beef pastrami - 12.5g protein 80 calories
100g cottage cheese - 9.5g protein 89 calories
22g PROTEIN
169 CALORIES
SNACK 2.30PM
100g Greek yoghurt -10g protein 57 calories
25g cashew nuts - 5g protein 156 calories
I had another Snack at 4.30pm (I've deleted the pic my mistake) a tin of tuna - 25g protein 105 calories
and an egg - 6g protein 70 calories
DINNER 7.30PM
FAKEAWAY FAJITAS
I fried some onions and mushrooms
and added a little tin of tomato puree and a can of chopped tomatoes with some herbs and spices - chilli powder/ paprika/ chilli flakes/ garlic/ salt and pepper and this made up my sauce.
This morning I put a whole chicken in the slow cooker to cook all day, then added it to the sauce once it was done.
I used Lettuce instead of wraps
per portion - 30g protein 280 calories
It was absolutely delicious, and no doubt even nicer than the chicken wraps I'd planned to have, but didn't have in Pizza Factory last night!!
At about 9.30pm tonight I will be having another protein shake at 21g protein and 115 calories
I have drunk 6 pints of water today no tea or coffee.
Today I have felt like I have been constantly eating and on my phone checking out the protein content in things. Like I said, it is brand new to me and I'm sure that over time and with a little planning it will get easier. I struggle to come to terms with the fact I am having a bit more calories than normal but that's just the way this plan works!
I look forward to learning new things and seeing the results in the next few weeks.
My day ends on
157g protein
1449 calories
Enjoy what's left of the weekend, catch you all in the week X
