My first two days has certainly been a change! The biggest difficulty, unsurprisingly, was going vegetarian. Where I would normally have chicken, I have had egg whites and tuna. I plan on bbqing some salmon on a cedar plank to have available for the rest of the week.
Monday & Tuesday Food log:
Gluten free- super easy for me as there are so many alterntives out there, and my major source of carbohydrates is from vegetables anyways.
Sugar free- a little harder, but I've become aware of how I take little bites of sweets and baked good here and there... I have had to practise some self control here!
Vegetarian - protein shakes are the best and easiest way for me to ensure I get protein, I ate egg whites for breakfast this morning and also have had some tuna on top of a spinach salad.

My workouts: Monday was a light TRX/core workout as my legs were still hurting from the Saturday race. Yesterday was hardcore!! I took part in Boot Camp with D, which was a circuit of 6 exercises, one minute on/one minute rest. We did kettlebell swings, rope slams, bike, box jumps, lunges and push press. I then decided, because it was finally cool enough during the day, to do a hill workout which lasted about 55 minutes. I capped off the day by teaching a 30min spin/core class.
My legs hate me today.
I actually can't stand.
I'm lying on the couch writing this and the foam roller is calling my name.
I don't usually train as much as I did yesterday, but it happened, so I'm telling you.
Anyone else doing a mini challenge? How's it going?
