Lean Challenge Day 3

Hi guys, hope your week has been good so far, if not hakuna Matata lol. Anyways, I want to show you a little progress on my lean challenge today.

As usual I made myself a glass of warm lemon and water and a green smoothie before hitting the gym. Today's green smoothie was so yummy, made it with 1 banana, a handful of kale, 1/2 pomegranate, 1 pear, 1 tbsp of baobab powder, 1 tbsp of chia seeds and 1 cup of water. It was so creamy and sweet. If you're a beginner to green smoothie, add banana it will sweeten it up for you. 


Today's workout was great, not that it isn't usually. I started with 15 minutes warm up on the stair machine or whatever you call it. I love that machine. Then did a whole body workout lifting weights. I said that I'm doing a squat challenge by adding 20 reps everyday and so today I did 80.


It took me about 1 hr 10 mins. I wanted to go spinning after but had a meeting at 1pm so didn't have time.

Below is a little progress. The abs are coming! I may need to do more work on my waist though.


After gym, I made a protein shake with the last scoop of hemp protein powder, 250ml of unsweetened soya milk, a handful of almond nuts and 1 tbsp of baobab powder. For real food, I had bowl of natural plain yoghurt with gojiberries, sunflower seeds, 1/2 pomegranate, granola and honey. 


Didn't really have lunch since I had a meeting at 1pm and didn't finish until 2:30pm. I just had a 9 bar and some fruits when I got to my boyfriend's. When I took a photo of this, my boyfriend told me to stop taking photos of food. Lol 


I know I said I will have bulgar wheat instead of quinoa but decided to not to. For dinner I made quinoa and mixed it with some roast sweet potatoes and feta cheese. It was lovely!!!


My boyfriend is tempting me with some apple toffee crumble for dessert. It's only small though. Shall I or shall I not?
