30 Day Trials - Day 7

Today is the last day of the first week of my trial, and so far it's been pretty easy, although trying to fit everything in can sometimes be a challenge, especially when Hailey's at work all day or away. Today is also Haileys last day at work for 2 weeks, so it should now be even easier to stick to a schedule.

Last night I went to bed at 22:30 which still wasn't early enough, considering how tired I was, but I was up and about at 05:30, 15 minutes early. I put my alarm on 15 minutes earlier because I had a lot to do to this morning and I needed a bit more time. I wrote some posts for my blogs this morning and did some promotional work, then got ready to take Natalie to Nursery.

This morning is the morning after my fast and the first time I had eaten for about 20 hours, I started off with some grapes and then a bowl of cereal. I don't think I feel any benefits from the fast, but to be honest I didn't really expect there to be, I think you need more than 1 day for there to be any benefit. The next time I do a fast I think I will try it for 3 days, I'm not sure when this will be yet.

After work I practised my guitar for 20 minutes before going for a jog, the next time I go for a jog I'm going to try and increase the length of the jogging intervals to 1 minute 30 seconds.

So that's it the first week over and the best thing about it? The extra time I have to work on my blogs and do other projects that I wouldn't normally have time to do because I would be in bed asleep. Hopefully I will start to see the benefits of exercising more as the weeks go by, I've already lost 3 pounds this week and the jogging is getting a bit easier.
