Sunday 7th October

 

Sleep = 8 hours

 

Breakfast

 

8.00
Egg, almond flour and banana pancake with loads of mixed berries. Made enough batter for two but only had time to cook and eat one :(
10g BCAAs

Coaching and a bit of training

11.00
Protein shake

Did 3 hours of coaching at the gym this morning (9-12). Don't normally work Sundays but struggling to fit people in through the week. Gutted to miss hill sprints - looked like a great session competently led by Coach Wully Bully. Can't make the next two weekends either due to work :(

Was nicely warmed up by the time I finished last coaching session so got a quick set of deadlifts in:
10 @ 50kg
10 @ 80kg
5 @ 100kg
AMRAP @ 125kg = 10 reps

13.00
3 Egg muffins freshly baked by Plowhead.

1400
Cottage Pie and 200g mixed veg
Apple

15.30
Handful of nuts and currants

18.30
Was going to leave the pancake batter until tomorrow but the banana was starting to brown and didn't want to see it go to waste so had another pancake with mixed berries and added a blob of almond butter which was certainly a good addition.

Watched TV for the first time since starting the challenge - can't miss The Chase for a great quiz show with a high questions per minute ratio (unlike Who wants To Be a Millionaire where you get about 8 questions in an hour!). Here's one of the questions from The Chase:

What do the Germans call the cartoon character Andy Capp
A) Dick Tingeler
B) Helmut Schuffler
C) Willi Wacker

Can't beat a programme with questions like that. Oh, and if you haven't seen it already check out another great moment below

Tea

21.00
Big portion of Thai Chicken broth. This was delicious and I'll be making it again. Heres what's in it.
800g chicken breast sealed in coconut oil with half a packet of Green Curry Paste (see picture - all natural ingredients and takes the hassle out of making your own paste), thumb sized piece of ginger, 5 garlic cloves, spring onions, 4 green/yellow peppers, 150g broccoli, 150g cabbage, 2 tins coconut milk. Took about half an hour to make and there's a good 4 portions there.

Another hour of TV watching Homeland 9-10pm then straight to bed.
