Heh. I has a DOMS.

Yep. Them there kettlebell walking lunges really got my hams, glutes and quads yesterday for sure. :o) It'll be interesting to see how I feel after tomorrow's session. I usually ache only after the first time I run through a routine, or if I dramatically increase a weight, but I get the feeling that I've not done lunges for a while now, so this time might be different.

I decided on some porridge for breakfast as it's a cold day and a girl needs -some- variety in her breakfast; oats, water, raisins and a splash of milk, cook for 3 minutes in the microwave, add 1 scoop chocolate and 1 chopped banana. Nom:-


Mid-morning snack was one of those really yummy Dorset Cereals "3 berries and cherries" whole nut and fruit bars and then lunch (spinach, sweet peppers, celery, capers, roasted chicken fillet and lemon juice):-


Beef jerky for an early afternoon snack:-


and then pre-gym snack of an apple and some cashew butter:-


Cardio gym with leg DOMS. Hah. Fun. Or something. Followed by a shake of 1 scoop chocolate in semi-skimmed milk ('cause we don't do skimmed at home :o)).

Dinner was the old favourite of beef chilli topped with vegetable (sweet potato and butternut squash) mash, finished off under the grill with a slice of Leerdammer:-


So warming and comforting. I love it!

Hamstring twang

Damn. So the pain down the back of my left thigh appears to be a hamstring strain. So, in order to make sure I don't do myself any long-term damage -and- I've got a fighting change of training properly soon, I'm laying off running and weight training for a good few days.

Bit of a bugger as it means I get to eat less and it throws out my eating plan for the rest of this week at least. And I've had to reschedule my first PT session with my new trainer for next Friday rather than this Friday. Bah.

I am consoling myself with a skinny caramel macchiato and will aim just to stay within maintenance kcals for the rest of the week rather than any deficit. And this afternoon, I'm booked in for a deep tissue massage to help things on their way to mending. (expect whining about how much that hurts later ;o))
