Mandy's Progress, Week 2...

Time for another update from Mandy & here's what she had to say about the week prior::

Training 
The past couple weeks has gotten harder, but I feel I am getting fitter, so it's working! And I am enjoying it too, it's good time out.
Nutrition
My eating is going pretty well. However I am going to start keeping track of my calories now to make sure I don't stray. Fiona says to limit grains like rice, pasta & bread, have cut back on those. Still have the odd toast for breakfast though, and had a little bit of rice over the weekend with some Thai. However overall going really well. I am also learning to love a range of vegetables which I couldn't stand before. I like roasting eggplant and capsicums stuffed with cherry tomatoes, eggplant, walnuts and feta (This recipe is from the Alive newsletter).
I have cut out coffee and drinking more green tea. The first few days doing this were hard, but now I feel like I am more refreshed and energized after tea instead of coffee.

I am enjoying a small glass of wine with dinner tonight with some fish and roasted veggies. But aiming to have no more than 2 standard drinks per week, I used to drink this (at least) daily, not too long ago.


I still have trouble sleeping some nights, but I am trying my best to make sure I get enough sleep each night.


Feeling good, and exciting for what is to come.


Mandy. 

I am impressed with Mandy's dedication to her nutrition and making changes, which are realistic and achievable, to ensure success and not sabotage.

Until the next update, keep training hard and watch what goes into your mouth, especially important over these colder months!
