So today does not start off like all my other Groundhog Day mornings, and I attend spinning at my local Crossfit gym/place. Pushed myself more this morning to the point were I had too much tension on my bike and my quads felt like they were going to fall off. Thankfully apart from being told we were not putting enough effort in, the grunting and shouting levels were low so I was not distracted or tempted to kill anyone at that point in time. I whizz off to my usual gym and complete my abs routine and then do a spot of posing practise in the studio. I spot a guy looking at me through the door with a quizzical look on his face as if to say why has she got stripper shoes on at 7:15 am?

I get to work and I am starving, really starving. I then become really busy and miss a meal time and that’s when the starvation, grumpiness, lack of water and overheating from drinking very hot coffee all kicks in. So I double up on meals but this does not calm the situation down. One desk fan later assisted with some deep breathing, lots of coffee and BCAAs in my water, and I am starting to become ‘normal’ again.

I have some urgent matters to complete in the evening so have to cancel my PT session with Mr M and I know I will be in a heap of trouble when I next see him. He has read my message but not responded so that means he is not impressed and I will probably die in my next session with him as punishment for today.

I do manage to get to the gym and manage to push out a good shoulder workout even though the starvation levels at this point are through the roof. I can only complete 20 minutes on the cross trainer due to being starving and knowing that I have one delightful fish and broccoli meal waiting for me at home and that the cross trainer is the most boring cardio machine ever.

I get home and practically inhale my last meal and have to take myself to bed as I start to eye up other food and know that I might start to eat extra food.

So Tuesday, busy which at times took my mind off the starvation. However, even though I was extremely hungry I still had a lot of energy to train as I was pushing the weights this evening. So I truly think the food is working for me. Fingers crossed I start to look a bit leaner
