One week in

This week has gone by very slowly, can't believe I've only had two PT sessions and my first was last week!

I've been encouraged to do extra workouts in between the sessions - with running and swimming preferred. I've been doing Body Combat as I find that the most fun workout - however I did do 20 minutes running before a combat class this week.

So, my week consisted of:

SUN - 60 min PT session
TUES - 60 min PT session
THUR - 20 min interval run + Body Combat (60 min)
SUN - 60 min Body Combat

So it's not a bad first week - but it's not as much as I want to do.

My other major improvement needed is my day to day diet. I'm not the most enthusiastic cook in the world, so I just need something simple and easy to follow with my erratic schedule (my job means that no week is ever the same).

I'm going to follow a 6 meal plan - little and often as that fits my appetite rhythm quite well I think. I tend to get full up at main meals very quickly and then snack a lot at other times. I probably won't get it properly going until I move as it just seems better to make a fresh start with that.

I'm going to have these meals

Breakfast - Blueberry Porridge
Bean snack - Beans, tomato & Spinach
Lunch - Turkey Sub
Fruit & Nut - Banana + Walnuts
Dinner - one of spag bol, chicken hotpot, beef stew
Soup - home made soup with barley

My main change would be cooking all my dinners (and the soup) at the beginning of the week so I don't have to do it during the week (always my downfall). I know I get into things and don't follow them through, but I'm hoping the money I'm spending on the PT will help keep me focused.
