So, it seems this is becoming a weekly update on my exploits with this 12 week programme, which is fine. It's the end of the workouts in week 3 for me now, so I'm calling that a wrap. What's happened this week? Three things of note... Eggs, Mr. Smith and flab. In that order.
First. Eggs. I now LOVE my egg whites. That's right, you heard me correctly. For the girl who couldn't find a single way with egg whites that would satisfy her taste buds this is a big statement! This week I discovered Two Chicks egg whites in a carton at Booths supermarket, so I bought the shelf full. Aft managing to finally make the perfect pancake last weekend (by using the right damn frying pan within actual non-stick coating!), I now have another easy way to get my eggs... Mix 3 egg whites with half a scoop of choc or strawb protein powder and a dash of coconut milk, et voila, milk shake! So, icky slimy egg white phobia over. Phew!
Mr. Smith arrived on Thursday! My new Smith machine with incline bench is so amazing, I can now do a whole host of exercises that I wasn't able to this time last week, including unassisted squats, Yey! For anyone interested in the exact contraption that I purchased it's the Marcy SM600 Smith Machine.
Flab? Yes, flab. Around my middle. Where the hell has this come from and when is it planning on leaving? Apparently in phase one of this programme it's not uncommon to feel flabby and big for a while, but this should pass once we get to do some cardio in the next phase, which in my case is just one week away now. I sure hope they're right these people saying this, it's a sick joke if it's not true. Roll on cardio again, I never thought I'd say I missed cardio cos sometimes I'll find any excuse to give it a miss but now I can't wait for it. So much so that I snook in a 6 minute treadmill dance after my leg workout tonight, lol.
I'm all egg whited up and ready for my bed so I'll say night night for now. Sleep is precious. Looking forward to week 4 and beyond!

wow - so much going on in your world! sounds fascinating and frightening - is the idea that you are meant to have the egg whites raw? Like Rocky? Well rock on girl. Can't wait to hear what happens next week.
