So it begins...

My 6 day detox has begun and it's with none other than my amazing trainer Emma Louise Burrows at Studio ELB. I have to admit I did have a heavy one at the weekend and with a photo shoot coming up with Lowell Mason, I've got to be in tip top shape, so Emma's detox (nutrition plan included) is the best thing to start a new year.

Food prepped and ready to go...
Day 1: Wake up call at 5:45am was not something I looked forward too. But i still dragged my butt out of bed and down the ELB Studio. I must be mad! This morning's workout was difficult but my god I feel so much better now and afterwards I enjoyed a scrumptious, post-workout breakfast smoothie from Gyms Kitchen. Thanks to them, they will be fuelling my breakfasts for the next 6 days. Result! 

Hardcore team post workout.
Today's workout was none other than one of Vivi's metabolic meltdown's; a circuit of different exercises that we had to complete in 40 seconds as hard and as fast as you could! 40 seconds on 30 seconds rest and move to your next station! We did this twice before Emma gave us a little "treat" as she liked to call it. No i can safely say it was no treat, it was doing the circuit for a third time, this time 30 seconds work with only 10 second rest and then move onto the next station! I can tell you that I was sweating and breathing rather heavily after all of this - so it must have done the trick! 

Tomorrow I have a feeling is going to be a mixture of tabata, so more sweat, gust busting exercises that will make me feel revitalised and refreshed - all before 8am. Is there something wrong with this picture? Oh yes there no bed or lie-in involved..

To top my day off even more I had an amazing delivery from Myprotein. They have sent me my bundle from winning The Diet Kitchens Facebook competition. The bundle included a huge bag of Elle True Diet milk chocolate protein, a shaker for my protein, a box of scrummy virtue bars and a tub of Elle Thermopure capsules. I thought Christmas was over but clearly Santa missed a present for me. 

A New Year treat..
I can't wait to try the milk chocolate protein in my morning pancakes, ah who says that eating clean has to be boring. This protein powder is high protein, low carb-perfect for female athletes that want to lean up during fitness season. I have also made another New Years resolution today - to find more interesting ways to cook and eat healthy, clean foods. Watch this space - things could get a bit messy....

Till tomorrow my fitness frieks and another 5:45am start!
