Day 3 - Feeling great!

Amazingly, I worked out twice today and I'm feeling great! I got to the gym at 7.50am and did some weights and then hurried home to wolf down brekky, pack my mid morning snack and lunch and then head off to pick up my sis.

Spent most of the day with her and my Mum and even managed to get a bit sunburnt in the backyard! Today was such beautiful weather for a change, thanks Melbourne for finally coming to the party for Spring.

Anyway, my sister now has her date to be induced if the little ones haven't arrived by then. Should only be one more week to go at the most! I cant wait to see my beautiful little nieces.

At 5pm I had a program review at the gym with... let's call her Sally. Sally, who is a marathon running gym instructor, told me that she has also entered the six pack challenge! This chick doesn't appear to have an ounce of fat on her! I'm in trouble...

Sally has written me a new program for upper and lower body workouts. I will start this on Friday with my upper body...I'm really pumped! The last time I lifted weights like this I was 21 and over a six month period, I ended up lifting more weight than some of the blokes! Bring it on!!!

So what did I eat today?

Meal 1 - glass of water
muesli with milk

Meal 2 - glass of water
small apple and handful of nuts

Meal 3 - long mac with a dash of milk*
glass of water
100g grilled chicken with avocado and rocket in 2 slices wholegrain bread (in other words, a sandwich!)

Meal 4 - protein shake (vomit inducing at first but I got used to it)

Meal 5 - glass of water
100g grilled chicken with steamed asparagus and 1 stick of celery with hummus

Meal 6 - glass of water
yoghurt

* So I asked Sally about coffee and she said go for it! It's performance enhancing of course and is also good when you are feeling lethargic from training. She even recommended the odd sugar free red bull! Woo hoo!

Also asked Sally about whether I should have one free day a week where I can eat anything I want. She thought in terms of this competition, one whole day was a bit much. Better to do one meal instead. So I'm looking forward to Sat night now...hello carbohydrate rich, fat laden food and wine!

In case you are interested in my training plan it will be as follows:

Day 1
Upper body weights and 20 mins cardio
Day 2
30 mins cardio
Day 3
Lower body weights and 20 mins cardio
Day 4
30 mins cardio
Day 5
Upper Body weights and 20 mins cardio
Day 6
60 mins cardio
Day 7
Rest...finally!

Then the next week start with lower body weights and alternate accordingly.

Let's hope this plan works and Sally wasn't pulling a number on me so she will win...nah I'm sure she wouldn't do that!

Off for that yoghurt and some beauty sleep now...over and out.
