Day Three! Tip Preparation

Being in a good routine is one of the keys to diet success. Preparing meals prior and freezing them is really convenient for those moments where you just can't be bothered or if you are super busy. Day Three was one of those days for me. I had work, then physio straight after, followed by a technique session on Snatches with our knowledgeable coach; Jason Hylkema.

Today was a 'rest day' for me training wise however on my rest days I still like to keep moving with the light stuff (hence the technique session). It is important to know when your body needs a rest, because if you over train it can do more harm than good. I don't have set rest days I just know when my body needs it. Due to a minor head cold I have picked up, today I knew I needed a rest.

Despite being tired and craving carbs I had another successful day with my diet. Here it goes...

Breakfast: Steak size of my palm, Fried green veg (1 cup), and 1/4 of an avocado.
Snack: 15 Almonds, 2 Rice thins, 2 Tablespoons cottage cheese.
Lunch: Kumara and Coconut soup (see recipe under the recipe tab), handful of fresh shrimp, and 1 cup of green beans.
Snack: Kiwifruit, 2 tablespoons of stew
Dinner: Steak and Veggie stew (made in the slow cooker this morning). Flavoured with 1 tablespoom cummin, 2 fresh garlic cloves, half a fresh chilli, sweet basil leaves and half a medium kumara.

Here are some photos to share (sorry about the quality of the previous ones, I had been adding them through the blogger App on my phone).
