Health and Fitness: Introduction

Hey guys, Im sooo excited I decided to turn my life around and start a health and fitness lifestyle change!
Iv got some pictures of some of the awesome food that I found online. They tasted soooo good. Anyways lets get down to  the nitty gritty of this awesome lifestyle change.

FITNESS:
The first excersize I tried was insanity! BIG MISTAKE, it was too difficult but I had my amazing sister there to motivate me throughout Day 2.

My amazing friend Chi suggested I tried doing 5min intensity workouts and that's exactly what Iv been doing for the first week. Iv also been working on some dance workouts by Scoladondo on Youtube. Absolutely loving the afrobeats!( who knew dancing could be sooo fun ).
I ran yesterday for 40 minutes at intervals it was hard and intense, especially as my right leg kept feeling numb!.
Nonetheless, I felt great after, so it was definitely worth it :).

DIET:
Hmm my diet has changed a good bit no more whites, the junk food is completely gone. I now cook! oh WOW.
I eat fruits a lot, my mum recently bought tons of fruits and we cut them up and froze them in bags, which saves tons more time in preparing frozen fruit and yogurt and smoothies too. It is also great for snacking.

Iv changed from milk chocolate to dark chocolate! which I bought in lidl, I dont eat it often think Iv had 1 square in the past week :). NO MORE JUNK FOR ME.

CHEAT DAYS, these are done once a week, I had two cheat days last week. Although, some might not classify it as a full on cheat days. One day i had a few M&Ms (not a whole bag), and another I had a slice of cake and a loot of soda bread :). Soda bread is good but not too much! Pics below

Oat and banana pancake great for breakie and energy in the morning!

hmm corn cakes, avocado, salmon, pitta bread and pesto, so filling when you add the pitta bread :) great for lunch or dinner.

Hmm my favourite dinner omg this was amazing, beef steak with spices, vegetables and brown spaghetti :) hmm yum yum yum. This meal takes the win!
