Diet / Exercise plan - any advice?
Hi Guys,
Here is an outline of my meal plans for the next few weeks. I have tried to keep to similar meal formations so that they are quick and simple to make up and keep in the fridge, but at the same time tried to include a few variations so that I don't get too bored. I have not yet worked out the breakdowns of weight ratios or calorific values etc as I don't really want to get bogged down with all of that. I do have a life after all! To put it simply, I have tried to keep my proteins high but keep unnessesary fats low. Lots of fresh fruit and veg (we eat organically anyway) hardest thing for me will be to ensure I have good breakfast as I'm usually in a bit of a rush in the mornings, but aiming to get up half and hour earlier - all part of the new lifestyle.
Some of you may be suprised to see I am lacking in Gym Work-outs, but I have a bit of a hectic lifestyle and have therefore had to fit the exercise around my other commitments e.g. dance classes on Tues and Thurs. so on those days I will be doing a nice little 2k run! To be honest with you, I've never really been a big fan of the gym, so I am starting of with forms of exercise that I do enjoy like. I hope to get into the gym a bit more but at the moment time doesn't really permit. But I will keep you posted.
Any comments welcomed
