Mexico Monday! 8 Weeks To Go!

Current Weight: 119lbs or 54kg
Gym Sessions: 5
Water Drank: 9 Liters
Clean Meals Eaten: 21
Cheat Meals Eaten: 4

My Oh My, what a week! I feel like this holiday is going to be here before I know it, especially as I'm at the 8 week mark already! This week I have continued to train for the 24 hour endurance bike event coming up in June, I am nervous about that! I suffered an injury whilst at work last week so I am currently writing this post from the sofa with my leg up in the air to get the swelling to go down. A nice lady decided to walk uber close past me and kicked my foot which caused it to roll at a funny angle and sprain my Achilles tendon and because I work in a shop where I am constantly on my feet it could take up to two weeks to heal properly, thanks a lot! 
My mum is away in St. Lucia this week so me and Josh are house sitting, we've seen the pizza guy a lot this week because Papa Johns is so delicious and hard to resist (sorry waistline) 
I'm hoping my foot is better sooner rather than later so I can kick some butt in the gym and get some more training done for the biking event! 
Someone remind me to get my pre-holiday injections in the next two weeks please!

Mexico Monday: 9 Weeks To Go!

Current Weight: 119lbs or 54kg
Gym Sessions: I lost count..
Water Drank: 10 Liters
Clean Meals Eaten: 23
Cheat Meals Eaten: 4

I can't believe I'm at the 9 Week mark already, where has the time gone!? 
Braces are the bane of my life. I got them tightened at the beginning of the week and was on a soft food diet for the first few days, wah! Once I was actually able to chew again I was able to enjoy the nice whole foods of normal meals which was so nice! Gym has been going well this week, feeling a lot better in myself. 
Also, I am now in training for a 24 hour charity bike ride challenge which is taking place next month! ahhh!! 
As I've got to 9 weeks I thought I would do another picture update compared to the first week and how I'm looking now. 

This holiday is speeding around pretty fast so fingers crossed I'll have reached my body aim by July!! 

See you Monday :)

Mexico Monday! 10 Weeks To Go..

Current Weight: 120lbs or 54.4kg
Gym Sessions: Six
(2 x Pre Breakfast Cardio, 2 x Back & Biceps, 1 x Chest & Triceps, 1 x Legs)
Water Drank: 11 liters
Clean Meals Eaten: 20
Cheat Meals Eaten: 3

I'm thinking of re-naming this Mexico Monday on a Tuesday as I never seem to have the time to write up on a Monday after work! I've been really applying myself at the gym over the past couple of weeks and I'm feeling a lot better for it (ask Josh, I am fascinated by my biceps and triceps right now #GunShow) Eating a lot cleaner this last week two minus the weekend trip to Josh's dads for a couple of meals out for special occasions. Next week I am going to give it the beans so when I post up my week 9 picture you might actually be able to tell the difference from week 12! 
I'm still not enjoying drinking so much water that I'm peeing all the time but hey, its for a good reason right?
See you on Monday, like it actually will be Monday next week, Promise!

Mexico Monday! 12 Weeks To Go..

I am aware it is Tuesday today..

Current Weight: 123lbs or 55.7kg
Gym Sessions: Six
(2 x Pre Breakfast Cardio, 2 x Back & Biceps, 1 x Chest & Triceps, 1 x Legs)
Water Drank: 13 Liters
Clean Meals Eaten: 25
Cheat Meals Eaten: 5

Well, as far as countdown weeks go, this one hasn't be the best. There have been a few occasions during the week where the need for the ease of a simple 'cheat' meal has overcome me and I've caved. It can sometimes be difficult to find the time to cook a clean meal after being at work for 9 hours and finishing at 8pm or being stuck in a VW garage by a pushy salesman who was out for all he could get, when you leave at three after not eating since breakfast the motivation to go home and cook a meal is at an all time low, McDonalds here we come!
I'm hoping, despite the slight dietary mishaps, the the 1lb gain is actually muscle. I have been training pretty hard in the gym most of the time and can already see and feel the difference in both my biceps and triceps as well as the shape of my back.
This week I am hoping to up the amount of water I drank in the week as well as lowering the amount of cheat meals!
With 12 weeks to go I'm hoping I will start getting more motivated and get my head in the zone!
We'll see, eh?

Mexico Monday - Intro.

Welcome to my new fitness blog series!
In just over 12 weeks I am heading away on holiday with Josh and his family to Mexico and because we have neglected training and dieting over the last couple of weeks neither of us are looking as good as we could be. I sometimes find myself slightly demotivated to eat clean and train but when you feel the need for a beach bod its kind of important to stick at it. What better way to make sure I stay motivated than to keep you guys updated with my progress each week that way you can see if I've fallen off the train or not!
My week is running from Sunday to Sunday so each Monday, for the next 12 weeks, I will be posting a weekly update on how I am getting on with my diet and how I'm shaping up in preparation for the holiday. Along with this I will include, as part of my Fitness Friday series, either my favourite meal or work out of the week to give anyone who may be interested a few ideas to try out in the future. 

Each week I will list my current weight, number of gym sessions completed & what areas were worked, how much water I drank, the number of clean meals eaten (meals on my diet plan) and number of cheat meals eaten (naughty, non diet related meals) as well as a little ramble on my progression.

Before I start I thought it would be a good idea to give you a sort of "first weigh in" 
Please refrain from any negativity as it takes a lot to put yourself out there, you know as well as I do that confidence is easy to smash, especially for a girl!

So this is me as right now after neglecting to diet and train for a few weeks. 
My current weight is 54.5kg or 121lbs. 
See you on Monday for an update on how I've got on this week!
