Getting Ready

I decided to take today as my much needed rest day....

I didn't take one day off during the month of March and as I'm going to be doing The 17 Day Diet plan from Monday....I thought it would be a good idea to REST.

So, for lunch I ate 2 small Rye rolls ( my Friday treat ) and then 2 blocks of dark chocolate...oh I felt like just letting go a little today as I know that as from Monday its 100% or nothing...if I cant give 100% then I might as well not bother.....I'm an all or nothing person...so am feeling the pressure I'm putting on myself, but also keen to get going...

I'm so glad I have Marleen, Sarah, Wanda and a few others from group doing this with me as we will be leaning on each other for support during this time...

I plan to do a daily report on my food menu ~ with counting calories

Log in the training I've done for the day ~ calories burned

( The book recommends 17 mins of training, if fit, 2x a day )

How I'm feeling, my emotions, my struggles, what I'm enjoying about the plan, what I miss

( like my dark chocolate )

I will weigh in on Monday morning and put that in as my starting weight for this plan

I will weigh in each morning and make note with my daily entries, my gains or losses for that day, the week and then the total loss for the 17 days.

I intend to do a photo blog of what I eat on this plan, this will help keep it interesting for me and also for me to put more effort into my meals and to plan a day ahead instead of standing in front of the fridge wondering what I can eat today.

I'm going to take this weekend off from updating this blog

Will be back on Monday

I will be running with the ladies from the neighborhood on Sunday morning and plan to do a run on my own tomorrow late afternoon.

I would like to finish my week off with having run 30km for the week, am currently sitting on 18 km and have 1 class and two Kettlebell workouts under my belt so far.
