00:08Good morning. My day starts here. Before I can do anything else, I get this down me.
00:16After my coffee, I'm ready to get up, get downstairs and start making some breakfast.
00:23I am in lockdown on my own and so it's so easy to let the days get away from you
00:28and do
00:29nothing. So I try and list off on my little whiteboard all the things I actually want to
00:34get done in the day and then that kind of helps me stick to some kind of schedule. But I've
00:40not
00:40been keeping a proper routine. As much as I'm sure I'd advise that, it's just so hard. So this helps
00:45me to stick to something. I'm gonna be honest, I cleaned my fridge for this so that when I open
00:53the fridge to show you what I take out for breakfast, it's not a mess. So thank you for
00:58getting me to clean my fridge. But I know that it's, I always find it interesting to see what
01:02people have in. So that. Oh, look at that landing. Incredible. Eggs, berries, cottage cheese.
01:17This is a pretty standard breakfast. I've got Greek yogurt with berries and a little bit of honey.
01:24And that to me is a better way to get sort of a sweeter yogurt rather than just getting the
01:28sugar filled ones. So berries are a really good way to sweeten things up without adding too much sugar.
01:34I've got eggs scrambled with cottage cheese because I like cheesy eggs, but cottage cheese is a little
01:39bit healthier. A mug of hot water because I like it. And a green tea, which I need to take
01:43the tea
01:43bag out of actually. A lot of people think they don't like green tea, but they're just burning
01:47the tea. So if you make sure that you cover the bag in cold water before you put the hot
01:54water in,
01:55you'll probably find all of a sudden you like green tea a whole lot more. As you can see,
01:59I like to keep my breakfast quite high protein, the eggs, the yogurt, the cottage cheese.
02:03And if I have a harder session, I'll probably add a slice of toast or two. But today is a
02:08relatively
02:09light day and I like to feel kind of light when I start training. I don't want to be weighed
02:12down
02:13with too much food. So I'll have my bigger meals later in the day. Right. Time to shower and get
02:17ready
02:18for the first session of the day. I'm going to start warming up. Right.
02:41Okay. That's me warm. I'm pretty much ready to go outside.
02:46Everybody has to adapt at the minute. So I can't do my usual session, but I know that I can
02:50get
02:50something done. So I'm going to get out there, get my session done. I can't bring you with me for
02:53that,
02:54unfortunately. So I'll see you back in here. Okay. That's that done. I've come inside. I'm going to
02:59get a quick snack and a drink and then move on to my strength session. So I keep these right
03:06by the
03:06front door so that they're the first thing that I see when I walk in. And it means if I'm
03:10hungry,
03:10when I come into the house, I'm much more likely to grab something healthy, um, rather than to go
03:15rooting through the cupboards, something unhealthy. So that's a tip. Keep your healthy food on show.
03:21So today's strength session is pretty low intensity. It's an assistance work session
03:26rather than a big lift session. So I'll be doing a little bit of upper body, a little bit of
03:31core,
03:31a little bit of lower body, all mixed in with no great big major heavy lifts to do. This session
03:37is much
03:37more focused on making sure that my body can handle the harder sessions that I do at different times.
03:55Because I don't take many supplements, I try and get everything that I need through food. And the
04:00easiest way to do that is to have a big variety of foods that you include in a week. Um,
04:05so this will
04:06be lunch today. Uh, it'll also be probably lunch tomorrow because that's my probably number one
04:11golden food rule. Always make extra. And then when you're feeling lazy, you're already ready.
04:16I'm done with lunch. It was delicious, if I may say so myself. And now I'm on the mat, ready
04:22for some
04:23yoga. That was just what I needed. My body is now feeling great. I'm going to get a shower and
04:31I'm ready
04:32for an afternoon of relaxing. I'm going to say goodbye to you now because I'm going to put my
04:36phone away for the rest of the day. I'm going to try and have some time away from my screens.
04:40I think
04:41because we're spending so much time indoors at the minute playing for the home team,
04:45it can be tempting to just sit on your phone or sit on your laptop all day, but I'm doing
04:49my best not
04:50to do that. I'm going to pick a book from the shelf behind me, sit down with that and enjoy
04:54and suggest
04:55that you might spend some time doing the same. Thank you for following along and joining me for my day.
