Today's FBG: 5.4
Yesterday's food:
B: Huel Black chocolate + 1 raw egg + chopped hazelnuts + cocoa nibs
L: Huel Black chocolate + 1 raw egg + chopped hazelnuts + cocoa nibs
AL: Blueberries, raspberries, pomegranate seeds, Greek yoghurt, protein powder, peanut butter
D: Chinese chilli chicken with aubergines. stir fried broccoli
AD: 3 chocs from the Christmas celebrations tub! 1 Low sugar protein bar



Yesterday's Physical Activity
Steps: ~7,000

Workout:
5 x 5 minute rounds as below, no rest until the end of a 5 minute round, rest for 1 minute and repeat
  • 1 minute alternating snatches (single 16 kg kettlebell)
  • 1 minute alternating clean and press (single 16 kg kettlebell)
  • 1 minute alternating cleans (single 16 kg kettlebell)
  • 2 minutes navy seals
Much easier with a single 16 than having a 16 in each hand throughout, but still some movement and cardio work .. keep the blood sugar down! Weaning myself off the Christmas chocs!
