6 Weeks Health Challenge

We recently changed bootcamps for a variety of reasons. Really enjoying the boxing sessions twice a week, its so much more fun than doing the regular push ups, burpees, sit ups routine you inevitably do with every bootcamp.

The new club is called Habourside Fitness


This bootcamp also just kicked off a 6 week challenge. Its quite simple, follow the meal suggestions and diet, make use of the unlimited work out sessions, walk 12,000 steps each day and drink plenty of water. Like I said simple.

Today was the kick off, we had a fitness evaluation and a series of measurements taken this morning.

The Rules (Paleo diet):

  • No Sugar (of any kind)
  • No processed food
  • No Soy (includes tofu)
  • No Dairy (including cheese, yoghurt, milk)
  • No Wheat, grains, oats, white potatoes
So what can we eat?
  • Vegetables
  • Meats, Fish, Eggs
  • Avocado
  • Fish Oils
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (why do people have to say "Extra Virgin" for?)
  • Coconut

The additional challenge this week was a protein only diet for the first 3 days of the week. So no veggies, fruits, plus all the restrictions mentioned above. Was interesting having mutya for breakfast.

We need to pick up a scale to track the progress and Jaime grabbed a pedometer at lunch.

Wish us luck!





ps. doesn't pedometer sound wrong if you pronounce it wrong.
