Thoughts in the week:
I am extremely pleased with the first week to be honest. I am targeting 0.5kg a week so had an amazing week by losing 1.5kg! 8 days without chocolate, bread and alcohol and a very good diet overall. I exercised 6 days out of the 7, which I know won't always be possible because I was quite tired by Friday but I will be giving it a good go!
Friday Nights are my treat nights so this was the only day I went over my calorie target of 1400 kcal but a considerable amount. I really earned my treat this week and I had a Lemon Meringue Pie which tasted extremely good!
The exercise I did was mostly in a circuit format however it was different exercises each time and a weights programme created by Lydia at The Training Shed. I also walked to work 4 our of 5 days, at good pace so I raise my heart rate.
My heart rate monitor has sparked a great excitement in me to see what I burn during workout sessions. I also wore the monitor for a whole day on Friday to see what my resting heart rate currently is and how many calories are burnt. Which was quite interesting and I will add as a separate post.


Below are a set of photos which show my body from all sides so in a few weeks hopefully there will be a clear change for the better! And next week I'll be adding my body fat into the mix once it has been done at The Shed.
