The Challenge started on the Second of January, and though i was wary of being part of a New years Resolution Making moment, I did join up (its free by the way). Its GREEN and its delicious!!!
They girls at simple green smoothies are fun and ease you into the program by providing a simple and fuss free smoothie. then you get challenged along the way to add more protein and good fats into the recipes.During the course of 30 days ( I am now on day 25) at least 1 serving of Green smoothie is to be consumed.
I had 1 serve as the very first meal for the day, followed by 4-5 other meals. There was no real change to my diet, but I tried to eat as "clean" as possible. My training schedule also remained the same.
Typically My diet looked like this:
Meal #1: Green Smoothie
Meal#2: Rye Toast, poached eggs and avocado
Meal #3: protein and salad or lunch out(Nando's, pizza, pasta or sandwich bar)
Meal #4: Chocolate (leftovers from XMAS
Meal #5:protein and salad
Meal#6: depending on training requirements I would add another 1/2 serve of Green Smoothie
I would say that the diet wasn't exactly clean! but my training helped out a little.
My Training Schedule looks like this:
Monday: Body Attack Class (I instruct)
Tuesday: Rest Day
Wednesday: AM Body Pump (I Instruct), PM cardio
Thursday: AM RPM (I instruct), PM Body Pump (I instruct)
Friday: Body Pump (I instruct)
Saturday: Rest
Sunday: RPM (I instruct) , Free weights upperbody (depending on which body part i feel is lagging)
The Results I have had have been pretty cool. I didn't expect to lose any weight as i was adding to my diet not taking anything out, however to dat I am down 1.5kg. The best part is that I have so much more energy, I am more alert, my hair is noticeably shinier, my skin is luminescent and my eyes are sparkly. These are comments made by other people!
This will be a way of life for me long after the challenge I think!!
