Not much to say this week. Energy levels are finally returning so I did an extra HIIT workout. Aerobic fitness has dropped but it’s getting back to where it used to be. 

I noticed mid-week that I’d strayed into high carb low protein – probably due to the cold weather which always makes me crave carbs and sleep. So I’m started making a concerted effort to get my protein levels back up. This is going well. I’m making sure I hit at least 90g protein a day. Still working my way back into the healthy eating groove but slowly getting there. 

Weight-wise: I am down another pound this week. Was hoping for more but clearly my food wasn’t quite right. One more to go before I get back to my lowest weight since I started training again. 

Measurements: waist and lower belly were both down (yay!). Again not as much as I’d hoped for but still good. Down is always good! I think a full body measure will be in order when I get below my previous lowest weight. That may coincide nicely with my anniversary at Lift365. It will be a year later this month!!! How time flies when you’re having fun 😄🏋🏻 

Food: protein levels are up again and I’m doing well on the veg count most days. I’ve reintroduced a little wheat just for variety. Hopefully it will be fine but if my tummy starts complaining then I’ll cut back again. I need to be careful on study days at home as I tend to snack more and walk less. 

All in though I’m making progress again and feel like I’m finally moving out of my recent rut.
