12WBT - Day 2 recap

Ok, I'll start my being honest - I'm still drinking diet coke.  But apart from that, my nutrition is going fairly well, although I still need to bump up the protein. 

In terms of exercise, I had a personal training session, didn't burn as many calories as I normally do, but we increased a lot of my weights.  Through one of the 12WBT Sydney facebook groups, met a girl who goes to the same gym as me, so went and tried cycle with her last night.  Not as bad as I thought it would be!  I had always been scared of cycle - as with body attack, considering it one of the "super fit people" classes.  But you adjust your own tension on your bike, and although you should try to keep up with the instructor, it's not the end of the world if you fall behind.  It was a 45 minute class and I  burnt just over 400 calories - thought I would burn more, so will need to work harder in it next week.  Being my first class and not knowing exactly what to expect, I think I took it a bit easy.  My main problem is my tight quad muscles (which both my personal trainer and irish dancing instructor comment on regularly!)  So in cycle/spin class, my legs are killing before my heart rate gets as high as I would like. 

  • Nutrition: 57% calories from carbs; 25.7% from protein; 17.3% from fat
  • Exercise: Burnt 820 calories
  • Calorie deficit: 1428

  1. Hi Kathy,

    I followed your blog through VF.

    I was interested in the 12wbt thing too, but decided it wasn't for me... but you are doing really well! 1.5kgs, whether fluid or not, is still very good for week 1!

    I'm also planning to do the c25k thing too, but again, waiting for a bit, till I am lighter.

    Happy losing!
