Going that extra mile: A fitness update!

2 Replies

Spoon of sugar

For those of you who know me well, and those that don’t, I’ve been following the 5BX Fitness Plan with rowing and weights and other things thrown in 3 times a week for the last year and a half or so.

I drink protein shakes twice a day and on the days I work out (Monday, Tuesday and Friday) I eat eggs for breakfast.

Now I want to get my body fat percentage down further so I’m cutting added sugar out of my diet altogether and cutting down on unnecessary dairy products. The easiest way of doing this is cutting sugar from tea and coffee and milk from tea and coffee. Some people may think that’s boring but I need to work on something to push that extra bit without changing the way I exercise.

I will update soon to let you know how it goes.

You can also buy it for not a lot here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Physical-Fitness-11-minute—day-12-minute-/dp/0140020551/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1334866610&sr=1-1

Remember GDA for men is 2500 calories in total and 2000 for women. That’s including drinks. That is if you’re not already exercising, and is for day-to-day.

For your info a bottle of wine has 500, just to put that into perspective and for those people who don’t eat a lot but go through a bottle or two of wine and wonder why they put on weight. All alcohol has a high sugar level due to the fermentation process.  Then you get things like WKD where they add sugar but that’s another story.

Eat at least 5 fruit and veg a day and aim for 2litres of liquid, make most of it water and orange juice.

That’s all for now, no more excuses!
