Fit February KICK-OFF | Fitness Challenge Week 1

Fit February Week 2 | Progress Update, Diet & Workout Plan

Fit February is into its second week and it’s time for the first update!
In this blog, I will share my progress (or lack thereof… You’ll soon find out) during Week 1 of Fit February. What worked and what will I have to adjust to reach my goal over the coming weeks?

On one hand, because of the Fit February challenge, I went to the gym on days when I would’ve otherwise skipped it. I made so many healthier, leaner decisions when it comes to food. Less sweets, fewer snacks, no milk in my coffee, no butter on the bread, stopped eating when I’m no longer hungry (instead of when I can’t physically swallow another bite), no alcohol…

Yet my weight on Saturday morning was 80,2. Down by 100 grams from last week. And if theres any difference in my progress pics, it would be that I look softer this week compared to last week. Not really the results I was looking for in Fit February. It was supposed to be a kick start to a healthy weightloss!

To be honest, I know why. Because even though I ate healthier because of Fit February, I still ate around maintenance. The more intense workouts made me hungrier. So I would have some greek yoghurt with nuts and berries as a snack, maybe a slice of bread with cheese, add feta cheese on my salad… Stuff like that. It all counts.
And when my daily meal deliveries are already providing me with 2000 calories, it adds up too fast. There’s nothing to do, but to get back to the drawing board!

I like to be as flexible as possible, but I’m not afraid to be more strict if necessary. I have a goal of reaching 77 kg., and I won’t let anything stop me! Not food and not even the back pain that’s been bothering me all week!

Fit February Diet Plan – Week 2:

I’ll adjust my diet a bit for the second week:

  • My diet is still pescetarian (I eat seafood, dairy and eggs but no meat)
  • My meal deliveries are now at 1700 calories/day divided into 5 meals + a vegan protein* shake and 3 g. L-glutamine* after every workout.
  • I will be fasting from dinner (usually between 8-10pm) until 10 am the next day.

Sunday-Thursday my meals are prepared and delivered by 77 Veggie. It makes eating the right foods during the busy work week so much easier! If you want to try it for yourself use my code “77VEGGIE5%AMANDA” for 5% off on your monthly meal plan!
