Start of second week - never felt so healthy!

I am so enjoying this program so far- have never felt so in control of my lifestyle! Love how there's a daily plan, and we have to nail it daily, no ifs, no buts...I feel so energized!
I've been banging on abt how great I feel and how fantastic that we are on this program that hubby is saying I sound like I'm in a cult...well at least I'm not talking abt it in public ( just yet anyway)...don't want to be "that couple"...

So it's been pretty smooth sailing so far - finally got the food scale yesterday and spent the evening planning and weighing out food portions. The interesting thing is that we're pretty much on the same menu plan as our 8 mth old daughter!
In fact, we were nicking quite a bit of her food last night! This no oil/salt/sugar plan, plenty of vegetables is pretty much what feeding a child calls for...our helper thinks it's hilarious, and that we've gone a little mad. We may well have....I mean, my husband happily tucks into punnets of blueberries now and at dinner on Sat, ordered a salad! That's a first, for sure!

Not much success though in getting the sets done in the morning...just too difficult with a lil one that gets up at the crack of dawn. And frankly, it's too darn hot even at 8am to do much outside. So have been largely doing them in the evening.
Am finding the sit-ups difficult - but that's just me. Confession - have never been able to do a sit-up, never. Weird but true.
The skipping's coming along nicely though..almost doing 120 per round now but have got to find a spot that's not concrete/stone....think I may just have to haul myself to the gym over the next few days.

Ok, so it's only the second week - I'm sure the ramp up will come soon and I'll be singing a different tune then. Telling myself to take it one day at a time, and for now, am enjoying this spate of clean living. Kinda nice!

  1. Isn't it great that you can feed your bubs just what you are eating? Are you doing "baby led weaning"?

  2. Tracey - Yes, nicked her sweet potatoes, lamb loin and fish yesterday. Seriously, other than steaks, we're eating pretty much the same things! Go Sanchez family!
    Baby led weaning...made the mistake of starting her on purees so she's not the best with chunky stuff...catch her gagging a bit lumps she encounters lumps ...hopefully she'll get better.

  3. Perhaps she could join in your sit ups, by sitting on your feet?:)

  5. My bubs loves trying to crawl up my knees while I am doing sit ups. Heaps of fun.

    With the bubs gagging - dont let it worry you so much. Just keep your eyes on her. She will sort through it.
