My sister Alyssa came into London bright and early this morning to join me at Body Step and we had a great workout - managed to trip and fall right on my ass today...that was nice for everyone....but no injuries. After our workout we had a one hour session with Meaghan who is someone I have met at the gym - a fellow mom, a fitness model, eats healthy, great motivator. I had asked Meaghan to do up 3 programs for me to follow - something new that I hadn't done before and she sure came through. She took Alyssa and I through 3 great workouts - we are both feeling rejuvenated and ready to hit the gym again with some new ideas. We have a lower body day, an upper body (shoulders, biceps and triceps day and another upper body day with abs. All sorts of new moves that I haven't done before. She also talked food with us - nothing that we hadn't heard before but sometimes you just have to hear it again from someone else. Some new snack ideas and meal ideas.
I'm going to get back onto protein powder again after a few months away from it. SInce I'm working out so much I need all the nutrients I can get. I've already planned most of my day out tomorrow.
Breakfast will be 3 hard boiled egg whites and a bit of pineapple. Then pilates. After my workout (which I have been skipping out on food wise) I will have a protein shake with an apple. She recommends fruit just in the mornings. I had been pretty much off fruit since doing Rita's program so I will change it up a bit and see what happens. Lunch will be my usual chopped salad with chicken and a sprinkle of quinoa and a tiny sprinkle of sunflower seeds (which is new for me). Snack around 300pm will be greek yogurt, some cold veggies and hummus. She suggested I buy the plain greek yogurt and also a low fat flavoured greek yogurt and combine the two since the plain on its own is quite hard to eat and yet the flavoured is high in sugar so this way its better for you. Still deciding on supper tomorrow night but you get the drift.
So feeling good and ready to start something new and tweaking things as I go along. I love that Alyssa will be doing the same type of eating and the same type of exercise so we can text throughout the days and compare notes.
