This is an example of a perfect day for me. If I stick to this consistently, I lose weight and you can too. But just remember, I’m not perfect. Nobody is. So if you don’t eat exactly like this and workout every day, just remember that I don’t either! As long as you are eating well and exercising consistently and well majority of the time.
6.00am
Wake up, have a glass of water and go for a 1-hour power walk or light jog outside with my boyfriend. Come home and have a good stretch.
8.00am
Breakfast usually consists of a protein smoothie made from 1 scoop protein, ½ banana, 1 cup berries, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon chia seeds and 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter. I usually will also have another 1-2 glasses of water after my workout.
10.30am
Morning snack, usually consisting of something healthy that I have baked or a piece of fruit, plus an extra glass of water. If you like tea, now would be a great time to have it (I personally don’t drink tea or coffee).
1.00pm
Lunch and time to relax. Lunch usually consists of leftovers or a healthy salad. One of my favourites at the moment is chicken and pesto salad. I try to take at least 30-60 minutes off to relax and enjoy my lunch break.
3:30pm
Afternoon snack, usually consisting of boiled eggs, a green omelette, ¼ cup cashews or a protein shake (if I didn’t have one for breakfast). By this stage I have usually had at least 2L of water, if not more.
5:30pm
Workout time! My night-time workout will usually be something intense such as HIIT, cycle class or a high intensity weights circuit. I also do around 10 minutes of ab exercises afterwards.
7:00pm
Dinner, which is usually something such as BBQ steak, sweet potato and steamed green vegetables. Plus an extra glass or two of water.
9:30pm
Getting myself ready for bed, so that I am asleep by 10pm. This usually involves having a shower, tidying up the kitchen and then relaxing with my boyfriend. I always get at least 8 hours of sleep per night.
Overall I always try to do the following during the day:
- 1 high intensity workout
- 1 power walk
- Eat healthy (avoid all junk)
- Eat at least 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of veggies
- Drink 3L of water
- Get 8 hours of sleep
It’s FREE
Hi Rachael! :)
Is your perfect day often your daily? If it is, congratulations! :D
By the way, I’d like to ask you about protein food; actually I’m a vegetarian and it’s not always easy to eat the right amount of protein each day. I’m used to bying vegetarian sausages and steaks but it’s full of salt :/
What can I eat that is rich of protein and easy and fast to cook? (beans are great but so much long to cook for instance).
Thanks.
