Not much to report on today. Actually that's a total lie, I've been playing with a new coffee grinder and grinding my own beans making some awesome tasting coffee! Work's getting in the way of training at the mo but fortunately after Friday I'll have a little more time available for hitting it hard!
Breakfast: 3 egg omelette, Bacon lardons, cheese, coffee.
Mid morning banana.
Lunch: Beef stew, steamed broccoli and cauliflower.
Mid afternoon apple and coffee.
Dinner: Grilled chicken, lettuce, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes, cheese, spinach.
Hopefully tomorrows update will be riveting, I might even put in my training plan.

Week 3, Let's Rock On!
Had a bit of a late night yesterday so sleep today was not the best, I think I got about 7 hours so was feeling sluggish this morning. Tonight is my first meal out, it's been planned since before the challenge so I'm just going to go in and be as good as I can but try not to restrict myself too much as after the challenge real life is sometimes going to get in the way.
Breakfast: 3 rashers of smoked, 2 fried eggs, 500ml water, 3 omegas and glucosamine.
Lunch: salmon fillet and steamed vegetables. It was great to have some fish properly for the first time during the 30 days.
Dinner: Nothing on the list. I'm afraid tonight was a designated evening out for Chinese, 5 black marks! I'll be better behaved for the rest of the week!

What day are we on?
So I've got some catching up to do, 3 days I think, here goes!
Friday
The next time I have a crappy nights sleep or have a day when I'm feeling beyond sluggish will someone please slap me and tell me to get to the gym!
After yesterday's none training I felt a little lost today. I had a good solid 8 hours sleep and headed into work. After fairly short but productive morning I managed to get down to the box for the open gym. Worked on some double unders and muscle ups of which I managed to get a few out so there's some progression there. After that I did a bear complex OTMEM for 10 minutes. Headed back into work and felt fantastic! I always know that for me when I hit a slight slump for whatever reason getting my body moving always gets me back onto and even keel. I should train more!
Breakfast: Classic 3 egg omelette, bacon lardons, cherry tomatoes, cheese.
Lunch: Beef stew! Thank you Mrs Slow Cooker. Prepared it all yesterday and cooked it over night, delicious. Ingredients of 1kg beef, swede, carrots, sweet potato, onion, garlic, rosemary, lemon zest, stock.
Dinner: Grilled Chicken Salad. Ingredients were 1 grilled chicken breast (obviously) carrot, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, avocado, peppers, cucumber. Had a cheeky kiwi and a pear afterwards!
Saturday
Breakfast: 3 scrambled eggs, 3 rashers bacon.
Competition training was great, I was really pleased with my HSPU's and ring dips. The WOD was horrid! Even though it took me an age to get through I'm glad I did it Rx'd. I know what I've got to work on and that I can fight to get through some tough WOD's regardless!
Lunch: Beef Stew as before with some steamed green beans.
Dinner: Grilled Chicken Salad
Had an opening night event to attend at work and the pull of free booze did not weaken me at all, just a couple of glasses of sparkling water then home to bed for another 8 hours.
Sunday
Breakfast: 3 scrambled eggs, 3 rashers of bacon
Lunch: Homemade garam masala beef burgers X 2, cheese, avocado, bacon, lettuce.
Dinner: Beef Panang Curry, homemade paste with many vegetables, delicious!
I made some pecan, coconut, cocoa and date treats which were awesome. They looked a little bit like balls of poo but despite there less than beautiful aesthetic were very tasty and I think totally allowed!

Only 2/3 to go
Today I woke up feeling like crap! Don't know why, I trained for the first time this week yesterday and felt good, then headed into work which was rather draining. I had a fairly good nights sleep, pretty much spent on 8 hours but felt so sluggish today and I can't figure out why.
Breakfast: traditional 3 egg omelette, pancetta, cherry tomatoes, cheese and a coffee from the French press. I swear I'm goon to try the panalette's on Sunday for some variety but I do love my omelettes in the morning.
Mid morning banana.
Lunch: left over tagine
Mid afternoon apple.
Dinner: Tuna Nicoise.

The 9th and 10th days
Got to catch up on two days worth of food and events again!
Tuesday
I had an extra half hour in bed this morning which was a little disastrous, I just didn't want to get up! Sometimes I wonder if I do need the full 8 hours or to just sleep and let my body to tell when to get the hell up!
Breakfast: The traditional 3 egg omelette with smoked bacon, cheese and spinach, 500ml full fat milk.
Mid morning banana.
Lunch: 3 97% sausages, steamed cauliflower and green beans, roasted aubergine, sweet potato and onion.
Mid afternoon pear.
Dinner: roasted chicken breast, bacon and a salad of cucumber, lettuce and avocado.
Wednesday
Once again the day started with an awesome 3 egg omelette this time with smoked pancetta, cherry tomatoes and cheese.
First training session of the week today was brilliant! Managed to get my muscle up! I haven't got the faintest idea how but somehow I found myself flying through the air and on top of the rings. Then we had a brilliant partner WOD with Martin 'Wully Bully' Wolstencroft (who fell off the wagon big style on Sunday celebrating with the Leeds Rhinos, I said I'd do his burpees with him, idiot that I am!).
Lunch: Protein shake post WOD. Grilled chicken breast, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, carrots and avocado.
For dinner I had my first meal out of the new slow cooker, Lamb Tagine. What a brilliant purchase, this is going to revolutionise my life I feel. I can not believe its taken so long for me to purchase one. The Tagine was delicious if I do say so myself. I had another protein shake for pudding and then here I am writing the blog. I guess it's bedtime now. See you guys tomorrow, sayonara!

Day 8
Sleep seemed to evade me last night and I have woken up feeling really sluggish. I managed to cut out the electronics for a good hour and even read for a while but that didn't seem to help.
Sleep: 7 hours broken.
Breakfast: 3 egg omelette, 1 smoked bacon rasher, spinach, cheese, 500ml semi-skimmed milk, 3 fish oil, 2 glucosamine. I've felt I need slightly more fuel to keep me going in the mornings until snack time, I might add in a protein shake and see how that affects me.
Mid-morning banana.
Lunch: 2 home made garam masala steak burgers, 50g cheese, ratatouille.
Dinner: left over roast chicken, salad of avocado, lettuce, cucumber, peppers.
Post dinner I had a very ripe pear and a banana.
Just got home from work and it won't be long until I'm hitting the sack, fortunately I can start work 30 minutes late tomorrow so hopefully any crap sleep can be recovered!
