My day started out nice and early with a 5am start. Hit the gym for an epic abs and cardio session!! So one week down on my intermittent fasting eating plan and going strong. I seem to feel a difference but when taking some more progress pictures this morning, I felt rather down but hey I won’t allow it to eat at me forever I am just gona keep on keeping on!!!

I then went up stairs to the ab section to train abs for 15min with Shaun – he showed me the ropes today on a few abdominal exercises and shoooweee are my abs feeling tight as I sit here and type this!
We did 4 sets of 3 ab exercises and then I went to do a further 15 min or cardio – I am trying to aim at 1hr cardio every morning, if I train abs as well in the mornings then I will limit my cardio to 45min just due to the fact that I don’t have all the time in the world being a working class girl, I got to get my ass home and showered etc before 8am!

I was “broken” after this cardio session but it felt great! So for the next 6 weeks I am trying to do morning cardio every morning (no less than 4 times per week) and then I have started on a new weight training program which I will follow for the next 6 weeks as well.
6 Week weight training program:
Monday: Biceps and Triceps
Tuesday: Legs
Wednesday: Rest Day (Cardio in the morning)
Thursday: Shoulders, Chest and traps
Friday: Back
Saturday: Rest Day (Cardio in the morning)
Sunday: Cardio, Calves and Abs
Ok so it is now 11:30am and it is time for me to have breakfast, yum yum cannot wait I am starving! Bring on my apple and cinnamon oats J
~ When I’m not hungry I eat. When I’m tired I train. When I feel like giving up I push harder.
