Week 12: Experimenting with diet

This week in my personal training session with Suzy I put the gloves on and spent the session boxing. It was really easy to get the heart rate up and the sweat flowing while boxing and I actually enjoyed it and want to check out a boxing class.

I am doing a little bit of experimenting with my diet this week. I have been eating my carbohydrates in the morning, and then cutting the carbs right back after lunch. It is hard as I love my pasta and rice and seeing the rest of the family eat them at dinner makes me want to eat them too. What makes it easier is that I am eating a larger than usual portion of protein with lots of the veggies that I love such as mushrooms, eggplant and cauliflower. I am looking forward to seeing if this type of eating routine does anything to my weight loss and blood sugar levels.

I have been thinking of what to do when the Transform Your Life program finishes next week. I found out today that I will still have access to the centre, the gym, the pool and all the classes for an extra three weeks, only without the one-on-one personal training sessions. This is great as it will give me an opportunity to see how I go at maintaining the good routines that I have started without the push from my personal trainers. Having said that I feel like that I have developed good relationships with a lot of the gym instructors at the centre and I know that they will continue to encourage me to continue with the journey I have begun.
