Feeling very sluggish after 2 days of not doing anything! I worked yesterday and worked up quite a sweat but not the same as a good cardio work out. I am going to try cycling and swimming this weekend as I need to do something to stop me piling on the pounds. Funny thing is, maybe it is mental, but I seem to have lost my appetite which is not a bad thing seeing as I am no longer breast feeding and can't work out to work off the extra calories!
Anyone got any good armchair workouts?!
Happy Blitzing!

Another Spanner in the Works..
Well, my running and training will have to take a back seat for a while. I broke my toe yesterday and walking etc are a bit of a challenge today! I may try swimming tonight and see how that works.
I can still do some arm and core stuff and anything on the ground so I'll have to come up with a routine that is toe-less!

SO SO SO busy...
Morning peeps
Sorry for the lack of activity, I have been SO SO SO busy recently, work has really picked up and I have had very little time to do anything.
I still have 5 pounds to go and have slowed right down but my clothes feel very loose so it is all working!
I am out all day today and tomorrow but I will be back VERY SOON with lots of inspiring and motivational blogging.
HAPPY BLITZING!

The Cleansing Detox
OK....sorry I haven't posted my stats this week but I was thinking now I am nearing the end I would do it every 2 weeks so MONDAY I will post stats. Fingers crossed the plateau has been breached!
The detox was really good - it is more of a cleanser than a fast as you still consume approx 1,400 cals.
You will need:
Brown Rice
Pomegranate Juice
Salad
Almonds
LOTS of water
Brown rice and pomegranate juice are known antioxidants and help flush your system.
The combination will give you all the vitamins and minerals you need for your day, clear your body of toxins and oxidants, and provide you with plenty of energy for your normal routine and a workout.
1. No coffee or tea, or any soft drink. The ONLY liquids that are allowed are the 4 glasses of pomegranate juice and much water as you can drink.
2. If you are a smoker, try to stop for the 24 hours, or if you cannot, limit the cigarettes to as few as possible, and try not to inhale, but smoke the cigarette as you would a cigar.
3. Take a hot shower or bath both in the morning and in the evening, scrubbing the skin with a brush, loofa, or special skin cloth that will stimulate good blood circulation. Also going to a sauna is a wonderful idea. Spend as much time there as possible, taking your food with you.
4. Do not cheat; follow the diet plan. Eat ONLY when you are hungry, not by the clock.
5. Exercise by any means (walking may be the best) for at least 45 minutes during the day. This is very important.
Breakfast
One glass of pomegranate juice, with a handful of the raw almonds. Do not overfill your stomach; when you are about 50% satisfied, stop.
Mid-morning Snack
One bowl of the brown rice, with some natural soya sauce, and some tofu if you feel you need protein. One glass of water. I boiled my rice with some fresh ginger or powdered ginger for a bit of flavour and ginger is good for you.
Lunch
One glass of pomegranate juice and a mixed green salad, as much as you wish. A dressing of virgin olive oil, wine vinegar, and salt may be used.
Mid-Day Snack
One glass of pomegranate juice, with a handful of the raw almonds. Do not overfill your stomach; when you are about 50% satisfied, stop.
Diner
The last glass of pomegranate juice and a large bowl of brown rice. I also mixed salad in with my rice so it wasn't so bland and to give me more food.
I also drank boiled water with a slice of lemon and some cinnamon throughout the day as it is a good cleansing drink. I went for a 6km run and didn't feel weary or lethargic as I was still eating. I did this Tuesday and Thursday last week and I did feel re-energised and cleansed and my milk supply didn't suffer from detoxing.

Re-energised
Well, day 1 of the detox went really well and it was REALLY easy to follow as I was still consuming 1,400 cals. So I am doing it again today and I will let you know the success and then post the details...that is what I am here for...try all these things out and then tell you what works!
I did a 6km run on monday, a 6km run yesterday and I am playing hockey tonight. I am also going to do some yoga and some strength exercises today as with all the running and training I feel like my hamstrings are tight and I am losing some suppleness and flexibility.
I am also going to post some pictures of the progress....EEK! This is the last few weeks and I WILL reach my goal.
How is everyone else getting on?

Detox Detox Detox...
Hello fellow blitzers...
I am giving a detox a go...and should it work I will write all about it. It is not a detox in that I fast and don't eat as I still want to work out and I need the energy to run around after Callum! But it is a detox in that I am eating antioxidant rich foods and drinks. I will still be consuming around 1,400 cals but I am hoping if I follow it for a couple of days it will tip me over the edge of the plateau and then I can reach my goal!
I am all for detoxing in the right arenas but I am not one for starving myself for 24/48 hours.
So watch this space!
