Macros looking pretty good today🙌🏻 over on fats because of peri peri houmous at lunch #worthit and a tad under on protein as I’d run out of protein yogurt for breakfast.

Back on track

Had to take almost 2 weeks off of the gym to heal my heel. Eased myself back into it yesterday by doing abs and arms as that doesn’t require much standing. About to fully go for it with legs and cardio today though - was going to do full body but my arms are aching so bad from yesterday that I just want to rest them. Wish me luck! Holiday in 9 weeks 🙌🏻

Having an injury suuuucks

Went for a long walk at the weekend and have managed to tear a muscle in the heel of my foot... so now I can’t train until it’s healed. 🤬

Focusing on trying to eat well whilst I’m inactive.

Breakfast: cereal with oat milk

Snack: 1/2 protein flapjack and strawberries

Lunch: salad with a slice of bread and an apple

Dinner: 1/2 margarita pizza from Sainsbury’s

Dessert: 1/2 protein yogurt, dark choc Kit Kat and 6 strawberry laces

All in all not bad, probably totalling around 1,600 kcal. Shouldn’t have had the Kit Kat and laces really but oh well 🤷🏻‍♀️

First session back at it

Did the full body of week 1 cos I felt I should ease myself back into it... still tough though!

Swapped lunges for glute bridges as I can’t lunge without injuring myself and I wanna build that bootay. Then did TRX pull ups instead of push ups cos push ups hurt my wrist... 😂 but they are guides after all so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Food today has consisted of:

Breakfast: cornflakes and a banana

Snack: apple and go ahead bar

Lunch: tomato soup and half a bagel

Dinner: to be decided (probably pasta or salad)

Back on this BBG hype

Holiday in 14 weeks...

I’ve been on and off BBG-ing for a while doing a few of the workouts mixed with some cardio etc, but now I’ve got a summer vacay booked I’m getting fully back on track.

However... I am going to adjust the plan to suit my lifestyle at the mo. I found last time 5-6x a week at the gym was not for me 🙅🏻‍♀️ made me loose so much motivation. I’ve found 3-4x a week works much better for me, that way my body is resting an adequate amount (haven’t had any injuries since cutting back on the sessions) and I’m in a much happier mindset.

My schedule will be something like this-

Monday: legs and cardio workout

Tuesday: abs and arms workout

Wednesday: run/sprints or full body workout

Saturday OR Sunday: run/sprints or full body workout

(Also will be doing some yoga sessions here and there)

Days may chop and change a little depending on my plans for that week but 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know this means I won’t be doing the LISS sessions, but tbh they bored me so much😂 I find a run or some sprints for 25 mins much more entertaining than walking at a slow pace for 50 mins aha.

Starting on the new plan tomorrow after work 💪🏼

Need to hear this, especially after the amount of chocolate and alcohol I've been consuming lately 😂

BBG Update

Sorry for the inactivity (not that anyone reads this blog anyway but oh well)

First leg workout without my knee support completed💪🏼finally feeling strong again! 🎉

I took last week off of training because I was feeling ill for most of the days and didn't want to break myself 😂

Glad to be back at it now though. Week 4 legs and cardio this morning, planning on doing abs and arms tomorrow. Then I'm spending Tuesday to Thursday in Bruges where no workouts will happen 😂 but I'm sure I'll do tonnes of walking/exploring so that can count as LISS. Then I'll do the full body when I'm back on Friday 💪🏼

BBG Week 2: Monday

I'm back after taking a week off of training as I had such a busy week last week there's no way I could have fit all of the workouts in, and also it's done my knee good to have a proper rest and recover from my injury.

Yesterday me and my boyfriend did a 10 mile round trip through Richmond Park (which resulted in a couple of blistered toes thanks to my boots, but was fun nonetheless)

I'm on my walk to work now, but so ready for week 2 legs and cardio this afternoon 💪🏼 still going to be rocking the knee support on leg days to prevent further injury or until it feels 100% when jumping. Let's do this!

BBG Week 1: Thursday

Yesterday after work was 35 mins of LISS however I did take the speed on the treadmill up to 7.0 by the end and the incline to 5% - I know kaylas programme says 6.4 speed and 0% incline, but I get so bored if I find it too easy 😕

Food hasn't been great this week, I've seen a LOT of friends so have been out to eat a few times... but I've always had something that has a dairy or protein, some carbs and greens each time, so not feeling too guilty (except when I'm thinking about the pizza I'm going to demolish on date night tonight 😂😋🍕)

So determined on this fitness journey to not let it get in the way of enjoying good food occasionally with the people I love. Knowing that I've eaten out loads this week is fine, as I normally only go out to eat maybe once a month. This is a rare treat for me and I'm trying to make the somewhat healthier and more filling choice (most of the time) to fuel my body properly💪🏼
