Laurasaur’s BodyBlog

Well I have a confession. I wasn’t going to tell anyone but I am kind of proud of myself but also want to beat myself with a stick at the same time haha.

Yesterday (thursday,day 11) I wasn’t feeling all that well and I missed my lunch time chicken out all together. I then went home to package up some baking for a friend and ohhh crap I ate some. Ok when I say I ate some I ate like half a slice. This is a good thing, because normally I would have eaten the whole thing. I was like, no, no NO don’t eat it, and then somehow it was just in my mouth having a little mouth orgasm hahaha. Then I quickly finished what I was doing and removed myself from the situation! WIN. Well semi win. Because I didn’t do a laura-binge I just did a normal person half-slice eat.

Then of course I felt really sick and guilty. And then I didn’t eat dinner :/ And then I went for a RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I did cardio. Woah man. It was kind of cool actually although a bit scary running through the area I live in at 9.30pm at night lol. Then I went to bed. So summary of yesterday:

• Did chest workout
• Felt sick
• Missed meals
• Ate 1/2 slice
• Went for a run

Overall a pretty crap day lol. I can’t believe I slipped up already ah well.

Anyway new day today. Did biceps and triceps this morning arms looking a little scary haha.
I have been trying out new protein powders yay - had banana syntha 6 for brekkie and scivation for morning tea. Onehunga Nandos for lunch if I can get some cake decorating stuff before then.

M1: Banana Syntha 6
M2: Chocolate SciVation and Coffee
M3: Nandos chicken 1/4 chicken (breast) no skin
M4: Protein brownie?
M5: Fish?
M6: ew More Protein.

I felt so sick yesterday evening.. not sure what it is. Think its dodgey chicken. Either way I can’t eat my chicken for lunch today :S And I couldnt have my 6th protein shake, and I only had a small amount of fish last night.

Did my workout this morning chest… was ok but definately lacking energy. Did one more push up in each set that last week yay.

This is the first day I have wavered off my diet a bit. No chicken for lunch I just can’t stomach it and will see if I can do a protein shake around 3pm. I think I just possibly need more sleep. On another subject of great self control I made 4 slices (I think you guys call them bars) last night, caramel toffee fudge, mocha caramel nut, and a fruity one I can’t remember the name of.

They look sooooooooo good but I am not going to eat any of them. Nope instead I will package one little bit of each into a box and send to my friend so she can choose which one she wants for Saturday. (When I will still not eat any hehe).

I have to say I can really notice the difference in my hips and tummy at the moment. Must be almost time for some progress pics. And I’d love to have my BF% done again soon.

Sigh.. can someone give me a job where I don’t actually have to work?

Wow I can’t believe its day 10 and I haven’t strayed from my plan… this really is pretty incredible for me… the willpower…its so strong haha!! Its my 3rd no carb day in a row and like last week I am hanging out for Thursday high fat day.. mm..cashews. Although not so much looking forward to my chest workout only because we need more decline benches at my gym!!

It’s funny when I first started this mission into a better me I hated it. I was very moody, grumpy, depressed and generally unhappy. I feel like something has really changed, I have been so happy the last few days! Who knows what exactly it is. That’s not to say its getting any easier to resist the temptation - it’s not - I still have to consciously stop myself from eating bad food - but there is something so extremely satisfying about knowing I am doing the best I can do for my body right now food wise. Likewise with the gym, it’s certainly not any easier to wake up at 6am every morning and get my bum out the door and into the gym - but I just know it has to be done. HAS TO.
Today is my rest day and yep, definitely feeling like I need it. I can barely walk, my Monday (day quads workout was KILLER, I feel completely inflexible and like I should probably being doing some stretching or pilates or something… yeah… maybe next week haha. Like I read someone else saying, day 2 DOMS means you have really pushed hard.

I have been having so much fun doing my protein reviews and I have a very exciting project coming up that will be taking up a lot of time, but I will be going hard on the reviews!! I have a lot more protein coming my way and every protein that gets to my letterbox is getting the full review treatment
