Dumbell Matrix & Carb Cycling the Wave

Dumbbell Matrix & Wave

Yesterday was the introduction of the wave, which I have done a couple of times before , but when I did it before I gave in and this time now I know why me and the group are using this for the weight loss, I am not going to give in. It is not as bad as I thought and I am having to think outside of the box when it comes to food. I never thought I would have salad for breakfast, but it was really nice with the eggs and very filling.

I have been to the gym today and done 45 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes on the cross trainer as I am still keeping my fitness up as I have my 10k run in a couple of months, so need to keep it going for that.

I have also done IMT and power circuit today which I really got the heart rate going which was really good, I am also glad to introduce the dumbbell matrix which I really enjoyed last night. so its great to mix all the different training up. I am going to do the IMT later as I enjoy how it stretches out my body in the evening and it also keeps my mind of snacking after dinner too.

So as the third week is going really well and still enjoying the food and training.

Jules & Megan and the support of the online support has been really great.

FOOD is FOOD

Since I have got this in to my head, I feel so much better.

I have had no binges, no secret eating and my relationship with food is just food is for fuel.

Food is fuel, so I want to put the best fuel as possible in my body . Which I intend to do all the empty calories are not going to keep me going, they wont help my body run faster or keep me healthy.

In my mission to get the perfect figure food was the one thing stopping me, but now I have learnt it is the key indigent to help me to the perfect figure I want.

No more food rewards any more, give me a nice bath with candle and bubbles. No more food treats any more, give me new clothes.

On days I struggle with wanting that bit for cake or that extra biscuit, I will read this post to remind me of my goals.

Low day and how to cope

Very low day today.

TOTM today as well so not good, my back is hurting and so is my tummy. I normally would take a couple of pain killers but I know they are not allowed.

I am a strong person and know i wont give into a binge, but all the other factors do not help. I just hope I cant stay strong. Normally time of the month I would binge and secret eat and lie to myself and say its OK, how can you eat until you feel ill and want to be sick and that not effect you. At least now I am a lot more controlled. I know what I am eating and have the self control to say stop, which is a lot different from a few years ago.

Hopefully my clean eating and the elimination diet will help me and realise that food is not a comfort it is fuel for your body to keep it working. I dont need food at the wrong time of month I just need to take care of myself.

How do we all cope at the difficult times of the month. How do you all cope with food and comfort ?

I feel good, so good., lol. :)

Day 3 , of the Elimination Diet & Melt down training.

Going really well, temptation is everywhere, but is not bothering me.

I have done my meltdown exercise twice today and they feel good, with Julie teaching on Thursday I am starting to get the moves down really well, it really does make a difference when you are being taught how to do the moves correctly.

I have eaten really well today, have all my snacks prepared and I never feel hungry as I am eating small and often,

Had a lovely dinner of haddock, prawns and mixed vegetables.

Also nice to not worry about calorie counting and having to weigh my food.

Hope everyone is doing well and the headaches are getting better.

Week 1 of Dax Moy Studio Meltdown training

Hi All,

Just a little update.

Have been all clean since Wednesday and have not given in. Only bad thing is the but the water really helps. Have learnt loads in the last two sessions and really looking forward to next week. Julie is a excellent teacher and training and the assistant trainer is cute to,so a nice view while we are all in pain with the melt down training.

Keys things I have learnt eat clean, eat every 3 hours, protein and carbs with every meal, no processed and try to eat lean or orgainic meats.

I could go on for ages, but getting tired now, so will be hitting the sack shortly.

Hope your all well

New health kick with Dax Moy

Dax Moy
I start the 6 week programme on Tuesday so excited really cant wait. Phoned Julie the head trainer this evening and she really pleased to have me on board.

Will explain more to everyone on Tuesday but what we covered today was the following.

First half of the hour session is food and how food effects us.
Elimination diet explained and discussed.
Then the rest of the 30mins is exercises for maximum results.
Also we will have 40mins routine to do every day and some homework on food and taking care of the body in general.

I have already had my last coffee, sugar free squash and sweetener is going to the back of the cupboard, probably will throw it out next week.

My last alcoholic drink is tomorrow. Drinking does not really bother me, so I know I be fine with not drinking. I think coffee and sugar free squash will be the hardest, but I know it will make me feel better once the craving or the habit goes.

What do you think you would miss most if you had to give it up ?

Fun Thursday

Its nearly Friday people and a long weekend too. Looking forward to chilling out for a few days as my kids will be with their Dad. So I will get some time to do some pampering and maybe a few extra swims. What has everyone got planned.

I have said no to Easter eggs and other half bought me the new twilight film, New Moon which is really good.Check it out if you get a chance.

Today was a good gym session did Shoulders & Legs Strength Training. About 6 miles on the treadmill and a good 30 minutes on cross trainer.

Tomorrow I am very excited to say I am having an assessment at Dax Moy Gym in Islington, very nervous but I am sure I be fine. Wish me luck people.

Check the gym out to it looks so fab.
