2 weeks and counting..

So it's been 2 whole weeks on my Fit and Fab Challenge and it has definitely been full of excitement!
The first week was amazing, I took my Isotonix OPC3 every morning, drank 2-4L of water a day, upped my protein intake by having hard boiled eggs, homemade fried rice with egg and Vegies and extra hormone free, organic chicken. Plus I made sure to have my chia seeds in the morning for that extra energy kick!
I went to the gym 8 days in a row, doing one day of higher intensity cardio and sometimes weights, then the next day a lower intensity cardio and stretch/relaxation. I had a faint on the 9th day which is due to an ongoing heart/vascular problem, but as soon as I got clearance to get back to low intensity exercise, I was out that afternoon, walking the dog for 1.8km! 
How do I feel: Excited-I can see changes in my muscle tone, flexibility, mood, energy levels and overall happiness already! Tired-I can see that I need to get more support for my body to ensure I can keep moving forward, so will be taking the Isotonix Advanced B, Isotonix Multivitamin, Isotonix Vitamin C and Isotonix Calcium along with adding Magnesium to my water and having a Hydrolyte or two each day to increase my blood pressure (which is quite low), and help my body to function at it's optimal level. Plus I'll be ensuring I have more fruit during meals to keep hydration and natural sugar levels up (plus the natural vitamins and antioxidants!) Scared- After fainting I'm scared to go back to the gym, but I'm going to push through that anyway and prove to myself that I can make it to The Spartan Challenge 2015!!
Optimistic-It's been proven that people who exercise daily are happier, more optimistic and generally have higher quality and enjoyment of life. I believe it!! 
Here are some pics from tonight, I will post proper fortnightly comparison ones next week though, as I did take the week off this week! :-) Excuse the nudy baby, but seriously.. How cute is her butt!!
