I knew that completing Janathon was potentially going to be a tough one for when I signed up. I tried to get some training in over the course of December so that it wouldn’t be a complete shock to my system.
I am really pleased with my efforts so far in addition to juggling work and a rather active son.
I’m injury free but I have to admit to being pretty tired.
So in addition to heading out to the park, playing Guitar Hero and Just Dance 2 with Deaghlan today, I’ve been reviewing what I eat and how that is impacting on this increase in my level of activity.
According to Gary, I eat like a sparrow and I’m a self confessed chocoholic. I think it’s fair to say that I have still been eating a fair amount of junk and I can’t use Christmas as an excuse any longer.
So I’ve spent some time looking though cookbooks and Zest magazines today so I can work out a decent menu plan to keep my energy levels up.
Today’s meal effort was a veggie curry with plenty of sweet potato, spinach and brown rice:
I also made some breakfast bars courtesy of Nigella Express which are full of oats and seeds but I did substitute nuts (none left in the cupboard!!) for some good old Green&Black’s dark chocolate. They taste delicious and are really easy to make.
So Week 2 of Janathon for me is about increasing my mileage and making more of an effort to ensure the food I eat is fuelling this increase in activity rather than hindering it.
