Week 2 Overview

Week 2 of this round of 12wbt is over so it's time to review.

Monday
According to my 10km workout plan today should have been hill work, however I was
keen to still attend my run group so did an easy 6.2km with them to recover from City2Sea
the previous day.

Dinner was a success as well - I made a vegetarian version of the Feijao recipe using vegetarian sausage instead of bacon.

 

Tuesday

Tuesday ended up being another day of two workouts, as I attended my gym boot camp class then was called to play netball again at short notice - both very enjoyable!

 

This week's menu plan included another of my favourite breakfasts - breakfast crumble with cinnamon yoghurt.

 

 

 

Dinner was a meal from week 1 I didn't get to and very much enjoyed - chargrilled beef with avocado and corn salsa.

 

 

Wednesday

I had a few worries today after leaving my clarinet on the tram and continuing for search for holiday work while trying to confirm the teaching I have for 2014. My weekly yoga class was the perfect workout!

 

I also had the final rehearsal and break up gathering of my flute ensemble, so I made a snack from the 12wbt recipe index to share and avoid all the cakes.

 

Beetroot Dip with Cumin Crisps and Vegetable Crudites

 

Wednesday is weigh in day and I was satisfied with a 200 gram loss after being down over 2kg in Week 1.

 

Thursday
I must admit, Thursday was a bit of a wash out as I woke with a migraine. There was nothing for it but sleep, medication and looking after myself. The closest I came to a workout was walking half a block to a local park for some fresh air. My body obviously needed it though.

Friday
Friday I was back on track though! I really enjoyed getting up early and catching up on some of my recommended workouts for the 10km program - hill runs and a twelve minute time trial - then followed it up my using my biggest squat weight at Body Pump in the afternoon.

 

I also found a new favourite work day lunch alternative - bean, beetroot and ricotta salad. So easy and delicious!

 

 

So, I'm on track to keep working towards my goals for this round. Lessons learnt from the week....

 

* Make sure I have healthy, delicious snacks for both work and social gatherings - they are often better than the biscuits or cake!

* It's ok to have a rest day if that's what my body needs

 

Have a great weekend everyone!
