week 2 Lisa's Melbourne Meltdown

This past week has basically been pretty much a repeat of last week but with more tiredness and hunger setting in. Being a little hungry is a good sign that the diet is working. I certainly don't let myself get to the famished state where I go and eat anything. Like yesterday morning I was awake at 5.30am with a strong hunger pang but instead of having brekky or rolling back to bed, I just had a protein shake and then went back to sleep for another hour sleep. I've also had boiled eggs handy in the fridge too so I have something to snack on at night time.

Have been keeping up my evening cardio as I'm finding I'm not a morning person and evening suits me better. Plus cardio helps stave off the hunger pangs after dinner. But my latest cardio accessory is the new Black Skins.

I haven't used had any type of compression garment before so didn't know what I was in for. The first time I wore it it certainly felt tight and you can see every curve (and er bulge) in all those places I'm trying to lose from. So eventhough I can see every flaw, the Skins have been a good motivation to keep on the diet and cardio so I can shave off the curves more. I'll write more about Skins in New Stuff soon.

Coupled of course with the diet is supplements and I'm taking the basics ie Balance protein powder, recovery stack, glutamine, chromium, multivitamin, CLA, flax oil.

I think I must be the last person in NZ to try the Gaspari SuperPump. I was given a sample and have been giving it a go this week. I had the grape flavour which was quite nice and sour with a little sweetness, about 30min before training. I also threw in some extra Balance Beta Alanine to give me that extra boost.

So far I've had good energy for training and enjoying the better pumps during and after training. With the superpump I didn't feel too hyped up like some of the other pre workout formulas have given me like, instead I feel energized but mellow at the same time.

All the above combination has resulted in another 600gms shaved off my buns and cheeks, so now down to 59kg now. Lets hope the melting continues as its only 4 weeks to Melbourne!

Closest I'll get to a handbag!
Balance just sent me this aqua/blue bag. Pretty eh. Nice pressie for my fat loss but they didn't know that!
