Day One

Yesterday I had a successful day on DAY ONE on 17 Day Diet.

I am so motivated to do the next 17 days without failing.

I taught a class last night with interval training, so that was my training for the day as I had hubby home  yesterday - he went for a run as the weather turned out to be good the late afternoon and evening.

Breakfast - Two scrambled eggs, mushroom, cherry tomato's

Lunch - Blueberries and Fage fat free Greek yogurt

Snack - Probiotic Drink

Dinner - Salmon, Steamed veggies and small salad 

4 cups of Green Tea

8 Glasses of water.

I stopped my hormone pills two months ago to go naturally through menopause.

I have noticed a change in my body due to that...and the only Greek yogurt I can find in my town is 6 and 10% fat.....I founds 2% fat and fat free Greek yogurt in Italy which I will eat for the next few days.

I have not been toning as much as before...

I was on holiday from November to January in Cape Town where I didn't do weights besides one or two runs a week...with lots of extra eating.

Then I got home to snow in Germany, so ran a few times on the treadmill and went through a very down emotional patch...

April I went back to Cape Town for 2 weeks...ran once!!

Then went to Abu Dhabi and Dubai and ran 4 times....

So what I am saying is...for the last few months my life has been totally out of routine....

I have been home for 6 weeks and trying to get my routine going again, the weather is terrible, summer has not arrived in Germany and its nearly July...

I still fit comfortably into my clothing....

I do feel I have gained BODY FAT...more than kilo's

I know with being 50 now ( heaven's that number sounds so old )

I have to work a little harder than I did in my 40"s and I am ready to do just that.

The way I see it, isn't necessarily the way you see it.
