Lean Challenge Day 2

Hi guys, it's day 2 of my lean challenge. I must say I had a good workout yesterday, I woke up with pains in my back muscles and upper abs and severe pains on my bum, back of my thighs and inner thighs. I almost gave myself an excuse to skip the workout today but I didn't. Instead I decided to do a lighter workout. See below. I know 2 laps is rubbish  but it's better than nothing lol. I wanted to fit in some squats but my bum and thigh muscles were hurting so much so I thought I'll let that booty rest.



I'm getting better with pull ups but I still need a BIT of assistant, just a bit =p. I hope I can do it all by myself after 2 weeks of training.

Last night dinner, I made sure it consisted of protein protein protein and green green green vegetables. I made stir fried turkey breast with aubergine and boiled some choi sum. My dad made some pan fried fish, I skipped that because he used a lot of oil to cook it. No I lied, I had a bite of it because the sauce he made with it looked really good. A bite won't hurt lol. As you may know, Chinese people have rice for dinner almost everyday but I had a bowl of quinoa. XD



Today's breakfast was pretty boring, it consisted of a green smoothie, warm lemon water and a wholemeal bap with 2 egg whites. 


 The green smoothie wasn't very tasty today, no berries to sweeten it up. A handful of kale, 1/4 of cucumber, 1 small green apple, 2 tbsp of aloe vera juice, 1 tbsp of baobab powder and 1/2 cup of water. This is my first time having kale.



For lunch I made a "superfood" salad; green leaves with edamane beans, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, quinoa, cherry tomatoes and feta cheese.


I forgot to take a photo of my dinner tonight. It consisted of quinoa a-gain (I think I'm going to dislike quinoa by the end of this week. In fact I will have bulgar wheat instead tomorrow lol). I made some beef and vegetables stew to go with it. 

Goals for tomorrow
I am planning to do:
- 80 Squats
- 60 leg press
- 30 bridges
- 60 lat pull downs
-20 pull ups
20 dips
- 60 leg raises
- 20 press ups. 
- Maybe 45 mins of spinning....

Do you think that's enough? Can you make some suggestions for me please? Have you got any good quinoa recipes?
