These last two days have been about focusing on my nutrition. Trying to eat at least nine fruit and vegetables a day. It’s about fuelling my body with nutrient rich foods while I introduce regular exercise back into daily living. I confess I did get headaches for the first two days when I started out - I think the result of reducing my caffeine intake. I had been consuming far too much tea and coffee. For me it’s not about eliminating caffeine, but about awareness of how much of it I had been drinking.
Completed a 3km run today. Had the gym to myself for the hour before they closed. I got to choose the fan speeds, channel and music level - awesome! Wore my Polar A3 watch and chest strap to track my heart rate. Discovered the treadmills read my old Polar transmitter - bonus! Pumped my HR up to 177 at highest point. Resting HR in the car was 58. Hopefully the new exercise habits are kick starting my metabolism.
Only 42 days till my 7km run Round The Bays http://www.wellingtonroundthebays.co.nz/. Staying focused, sticking to the plan.
I’ve added a couple of new recipes - check them out. I made Grilled Summer Stone Fruit last night for dessert, it was delicious.
Hope you’re fit and well! Stay positive.
Cheers,
Ali
