Anyway today was definitely the easiest the Shred has been - but I'm not sure if that was because I was doing less today in terms of I wasn't running as well, so I will see how tomorrow feels and if that seems to be going well I will up my weights to the heavier ones (still not heavy - 2lbs - but heavier than my current ones and heavier enough that I notice a difference when using them!)
It supposedly takes 21 times of not doing something to break a habit and 21 times of doing something to make one (or so I've heard), but although I'm only on day 6 I did feel a bit weird not going out for a couch to 5K session today. Not bad or anything, just a bit off.
As well as day 6 of the 30 Day Shred I dug out one of the ancient DVDs I've had kicking around from previous health kicks - a 10 minute solutions pilates DVD. I only did the pilates for flexibility section as one thing I feel with the shred is that you don't get enough of a stretch after it - and due to years of ballet I have really solid legs and I want to make sure I'm stretching out after exercising as I don't want to look really muscley or solid!
I was technically over my calories today but not too much, and I haven't added any of my exercise as I've decided I don't want to eat those calories - I'm doing the exercise to boost my weightlosses, not to be able to eat more, and right now I'm not doing enough exercise that I feel as though I need any additional nutrition. I had a healthy lunch and then a not so healthy dinner, but my plan is to allow myself that on Monday evenings so that the rest of the week I will be able to make healthier choices and know that it's just a case of waiting till Monday before my next 'naughty' meal. Having said that though I am just trying to eat less than 1,200 calories a day - I'm not focussing on types of food, but obviously the healthier the food is the less calories in it therefore the more I can eat per day - so generally I will be trying to make healthy choices.
