Sometimes you can’t say “no”

As you might have guessed, I didn’t resist everything I was tempted with today.  No one is perfect.  Besides, I am allowed a small treat every now and again.

Today I resisted the temptation of the last blueberry muffin from yesterday, and all of the cream cakes which were brought in today.  However, when one of my colleagues offered me some Icelandic candy, I thought “why not, it’s not every day you get offered Icelandic candy…unless you are in Iceland I guess”.  From what I gather, people in Iceland have a thing for chocolate and licorice.  The genius folks there put the two together to give chocolate coated licorice, so I had a small bar.  It was about a third of the size of a regular Mars bar, but so much nicer!

That was my badness for today but, as I said, I resisted the cream cakes.  I’m going well.

So what did I have for food today?  Whilst you’ll be able to guess lunch for this week, breakfast was a little different.  Not much.

Breakfast:

• 1 slice of toast with light butter
• 1 toasted tea cake with light butter
• 1 glass of orange juice

Lunch:

• Tuna-mayo and cucumber sandwich
• Muller light strawberry yogurt
• 2 granny smiths apples
• 1 banana

Dinner:

• Roast beef dinner with lots of veg; cabbage, potato, peas, parsnip and carrots.

I’ve had over 2 litres of water today to keep me hydrated.  There are points through the day when it never seems enough.  Still, I feel good for it!

Despite the heavy dinner today, I still managed to get my workout in.  I managed to hold the first plank for 30 seconds, the other two for around 20 each.  The whole workout is tiring for me, and really raises my heart rate; which is a good thing.  I hope there are results to show for it in 2 weeks time for the weigh-in.

That gives me two weeks to plan a new exercise routine, which leads to today’s question: What exercises, which can be done with no equipment, would you include in a workout for yourself if you had no access to workout equipment?
