Oh Good morning you guys how are we all doing it is Wednesday and we’re on week two of my Let’s get fit and healthy journey and you know what I’m enjoying it I feel like it’s it’s given me something to aim towards each week and it’s something a little bit different I
Feel inspired I feel motivated and this is exactly what we wanted I actually went on a run well my second cardio day cuz I’m doing one cardio day a week and I actually went on an outdoor run on Monday and I improved I was quite surprised because on the run I didn’t
Quite feel as if it was going better the first kilometer I consider stopping I don’t know what it is why is the beginning run really hard it’s like your body’s kind of in shock and adapting but I did take some video clips so I’m going to insert
Them now and you guys can see exactly what I got up to on Monday good morning guys it is Monday which means it’s my designated cardio day and and the weather isn’t as nice as last week which doesn’t really help but I’m excited I want to see exactly what I can do this
Week but I’m just going to do the same I’m actually just going to go on a run outside because it’s in between between work and I like to break up my day I don’t like to be sat at my desk all day it makes me really unproductive so I’m
Going to go out go for like a run walk see how I feel try and run for as much as I can and then oh you’re slipping try and run for as much as I can and then when I get TI I’m going to do some
Walking and just do it like that really and we’ll see how we get on but I just got on my train vest these are actually so good I think I said I got sent this but I never used it and it’s great for running and then I’ve put on my hat
Because it makes running so much easier it keeps your hair in place top tip and then I’ve got my trainers these are Hawkers although do you know what they’re very narrow for my feet so I feel like if I to take this seriously I might need to get some different shoes
If you guys have any recommendations then let me know but yeah I’m going to get going I’m going to actually just do a little bit of War outside even though it’s raining but I’m going to get wet anyway so whatever oh my God my legs are on fire from my
Leg work out I have no idea how this going to go but let’s get going 3K in I’m actually D today oh my God my legs ta going to keep going I feel like I’m still p l which is an improvement woohoo she did it my God
18 minutes 4.64 average pace 6 do 57 boom better than last week my hair is actually turn into some sort of Nest oh my goodness look how red I am guys my hair no I actually can’t deal with that know what first kilometer absolutely horrific contempla coming back my legs felt awful
I think this week what I need to do is do my leg day on Friday and not Saturday because otherwise it’s just not enough time to recover if I’m pushing myself in the gym I actually can’t get over this but apart from that it was actually
Looking at my stats a much better run to last Arthur it was actually a much better run compared to last week so look actually I’ll just pop it on the screen but last week I did 30 minutes 4.27 km so I didn’t do 5K I did 4.27 and my
Heart rate on average was 169 and my average pace was 7.02 km this week guys this week she did 32 minutes 16 seconds 4.64 km so slightly longer average pace was 657 which I’m really happy with an average heart rate was 165 so my heart rate’s already come down by 9 Beats from
A minute and I went faster yes I feel good I can’t be the only one but when I get in from a run all I want to do is strip I feel so sweaty and last thing I want to do is stretch as well but Jesus
My quads are on another level I’m going to have a hot bath tonight and just make sure I’m really looking after my body because if you don’t that is when injuri is going to Hur and we don’t want any injuries oh my God my leg is like
Cramping this is like the best cord stretch in the entire world I feel like when I used to cross it I was so on it with my stretching and my foam rolling and now that I’ve kind of turned to like more bodybuilding I just haven’t been at
All that’s okay we can get back into it the pain from this is actually not great this is a pigeon pose and you can really feel it pulling in your knee if you’re a bit tight and it’s not a KNE injury it’s just tightness oh my [Applause]
God and that was my run and stretch session on Monday and I feel good and you know what yesterday which was Tuesday I didn’t feel sore and I think that’s because a it was my second run so I done it before and B I stretched after
And cooled down properly and I warmed up properly as well and I think that’s so important especially if you’re trying mix weight training and cardio you really do have to look after your body otherwise you’re going to be so prone to injury so if you’re also on the same
Journey look after your body this is my message to you but anyways today we are training legs and I thought what a better day than to take you along with me and take you through a full day of eating while trying to be fit and healthy I’m not tracking my macros and
Calories at the moment because I just don’t have the capacity to do that right now we have a lot going on in my family um I don’t know if you guys saw on Instagram but my boyf friend’s mom actually really sadly passed away and it was completely out of nowhere so yeah
January is not been great and it’s still not great to be honest but I feel like this is really helping me to get through it and it’s really nice for me to aim towards something it’s not putting too much pressure on me if you get what I
Mean so yeah we’re going to be going through a full day eating I’ve got a really good day planned actually I was thinking last night about what I could do and what I could show you guys because I wanted it to be interesting and I wanted the foods to be really good
So we’re actually starting off the day with a protein berry smoothie and I went to M&S this morning only the best to get the best produ so let’s make my protein berry smoothie so going in my smoothie this morning is a banana some zero fat Greek yogurt love this one it’s really
Really good it’s actually quite cheap for ESS then we’ve got some milk women’s best fit Pro Way in French vanilla if you know you know got some oats and I’m will be adding in some fresh berries and you know I showed you this pot last week
Honestly this is the best thing ever it keeps your berries so fresh and they just don’t go off so quickly which is brilliant then I make all of my smoothies in this blender cup which is actually for this Meg blender Kieran got this and it is so good but you don’t
Even have to transfer the Smoothie out of the pot once you’ve done it you can just pop on a lid and drink it out there which is really really handy I forgot to say we’re also going to need some Ice And there is my protein ber smoothie cheers guys I would actually normally just drink it out of the blender cup but thought we’ll just be aesthetic early today that is so good you know that the smooth smoothies that you get why does smoothies always taste so much better
When someone else makes them or when you pay for it I don’t know why but this actually tastes really good and that is a great way to start the day you know high protein it’s got carbs in it and it’s going to fuel us for a few hours
And we won’t feel well to I probably will feel hungry you know what I actually really like to have two breakfasts at the moment I don’t know what it is I normally have a shake and then I’ll have a Bagon as well just to kind of make sure I’m getting in enough Calories I saw a um Tik Tok hack the other day and I don’t know when I put my Bagels away right I put them away like this and it basically said if you twist them and push it in it will keep them really fresh I don’t know why I didn’t know
That right it’s a really simple thing but obviously really effective anyways I’m just going to have the second part of my breakfast now I’ve just done a bit of work and I don’t know why I’m just obsessed with this honey at the moment and it’s really good fuel before your
Workouts cuz it’s simple carb so it just keeps you really fueled and I don’t know I’ve just been performing well off it so we’re going to have this and then we’re going to train legs which I’m kind of excited about last week I trained legs on Sunday and then tried to run on
Monday and as you guys know it was kind of hard so I’m going to train legs today on Wednesday and then hopefully train legs again on Friday and then that’ll be my training done for the week but I just I really enjoy only training well only
Working out four times a week I think when it’s summer I might try and do five but what is it about winter and just wanting to hibernate was saying to Kieran this morning all I want to do is when it gets to about half 3 4:00 I just
Want to sit down and sleep and watch TV whereas in the summer I’m so motivated to just keep on doing things all day into the night just so ready for summer guys I want it to be tomorrow I just want to get in my garden I want to go
For a swim I want to make all the garden really nice as well because we’ve got big plans for the garden it needs quite a bit of work doing to it but I feel like it’s going to be really exciting I’m going see for like a child when I
Have this and there we have my second little meal of the day I’m actually enjoying having smaller meals more often you know one thing I always try to do is keep up on my water because it’s so important do you know what if I feel dehydrated I just don’t like I don’t
Think properly and I don’t form properly and also it’s so important for like your skin your hair and everything like I’m quite lucky with my skin because it’s pretty good and with your skin is partly genetics to be honest but I do think that have it’s literally just gone
Everywhere look I do think that having a healthy lifestyle and also drinking lots of water does definitely help oh my God Gym Fit of the day we’ve got women’s best crocked hoodie these are the best things ever the quality is insane I don’t know if you can see this like look
How thick and soft it is it’s the best and I just love how it’s kind of like cinched in here then we’ve got the Define leggings I wear a size medium but look how good the bum is on these it like scrunches up your arm so it makes
You feel like you’ve got bigger glutes than you have and then I’ve just got my balance on which I am actually loving you know so I’m just off the gym a bit later than I wanted to I’m addicted to these at the moment M&S Cherry gums they
Are so good kier’s going to kill me cuz every time I buy these he eats the entire pack but yeah is so good I have actually just texted Kieran because T night guys we are making fake away five gu burgers and I couldn’t be more excited you know when you just
Really fancy a burger that’s exactly what we’re going to be making and he’s quite excited as well so I’m going to show you guys exactly how we make them later I also keep telling him that he needs to buy me something for Valentine’s and I feel like that is true
Isn’t it like K and I don’t really ever celebrate Valentine’s we don’t have a set day as to like when we became official it just kind of happened I don’t know is anyone else like that sometimes I’ve already left out when people are like oh it’s our 3 years and
I actually genuinely don’t have a clue when we got together yeah I feel like we’ve been together 4 years now which is mad I don’t even know if is that my longest relationship I don’t know maybe maybe not I feel like I’m just getting old now I can’t even remember these
Things but anyways Valentine’s plans we don’t have any I’m not even that bothered I feel like Valentine’s is a waste of money and yeah I might just cook pancakes on the pancake Before like Like cu I’m not going to lie that was not the best gym session but it’s fine we got it done I feel like I really need to think about what I’m eating because yesterday I was so busy I honestly didn’t have time to eat and I used to hate it when
People said this because I was like how can you not have time how can you not be hungry but I completely get it now I’m just so busy and sometimes I just don’t have time I’m not the type of person that if I don’t have time that I’ll just
Eat rubbish because I know that also won’t help me so yeah the key is to meal prep to be honest guys but I also now have 20 minutes to make my lunch and I’m going to make something really quick and easy which is probably one of my faade
Things to make when it’s when you haven’t got much time I did actually go to M&S this morning and pick up some new Mayo because well I’m going to make a tuna Crunch Wrap which I love but the other night Kieran made me tuna pasta
And it was was awful like it was so watery and I was like what have you done to this it was just not mayy and I think it’s cuz the Mayo was really lowfat and it just didn’t taste like Mayo so I picked up classic Mayo so I’m hoping this is going to
Taste better because that was not a Vibe but this is actually so easy all you need is a wrap of choice I used these just put them in the microwave for 20 seconds before wrapping tuna I’m going to add sweet corn red pepper and spring onions but you can add whatever veggies
You want I just want it to be crunchy hence the tuna Crunch and then also going to add some ched Cheese we worn lots of black pepper this looks so good and it’s so so colorful you just know that it’s full of all the goodness wrap’s been heated now we’re going to add our cheese that’s probably about 20 G my God this just looks so good key to
A good wrap fold actually I could probably put some more in but I’m scared it’s not going to fold okay so fold the sides in roll tuck tuck tuck tuck tuck camera look at that that’s what I call a perfect wrap I’ve just placed it fold side down
In the air fryer and I’m going to cook it literally for 5 minutes 180 on the air fryer function and go this is kind of hot I left it in a bit long oh that crunch I feel like this is going to be a good one oh my God that looks unreal
Guys and that was so easy to make you don’t even have to air fry it but I just wanted it to be extra crispy I think it’s so important if you’re tracking your Macros and calories to also make sure that you learn to step away from it
Because you need to track your Macros and calories for the rest of your life and I always take breaks and I always kind of go back to it because it’s such a useful tool but then I kind of switched to like just listening to my
Body and my Hunger cues and kind of just mindfully eating which is also a really good skill to I have but it doesn’t come naturally it’s something that you just kind of have like practice and I also feel like if you know the value of foods
And you know what your body needs it’s so much easier whereas if you haven’t checked your Foods before you don’t really know what your body needs you just eat to what you think every day and if you’re trying to reach your goal it’s kind of hard CU you don’t really know so
I’d really recommend tracking if you haven’t before it teaches you a lot but this looks incredible I’m so excited and that was so easy like when people say they can’t cook you can cook that might be the best thing I’m in no normally I use red onion but the spring onion the spring
Onion hits different you know I love that all right I know a going to have have a little snack whilst I sit and do the rest of work for the evening these are the women’s best smart bars and salty they are so good and 20 GS of protein so it’s a really
Good snack good evening everybody so we’re actually going to be making some fake away burgers tonight and I’m really excited are you excited you be making them with me I actually am excited cuz I actually fasted until 4:30 today did you and you got a shoot and then a shoot
Shoot is it a shoot you’re going over to oh yeah yeah I have Yeah so basically I’m going out foron I so we’re just going to well they don’t know we going that but well we’re keeping it tight a little bit I’m not dieting for it
Obviously but I’m just I don’t want to be puffing and now you’re about to eat loads of burgers so I bought these Brios buns from M&S these are the best ones there are 23 calories per bun so at decent amount then we’ve got some 5% beef mints this wasn’t actually too
Badly priced for M you know it was like4 when did you goet today it’s always worth not getting cheap bands in it I know it make sure you get a BRI only 21 calories yeah an onion garlic some burger seasoning I love this one it’s just really quick and easy if you can’t
Bothered too much um burger sauce you that burger sauce yeah this looks I know it looks good doesn’t it yeah yeah I saw that one that looks good and then we’ve got some lighter cheese slices the only thing I don’t have is lettuce but I mean
So you ruin the whole dinner then who needs lettuce are you sure yeah I don’t have name are you sure yeah I ched it out today it was really off anyways let’s get cooking so kierum was actually a chef in his earlier life’s really good chopping so when we cook together and
When you see our videos on Instagram he’s the one doing all the chopping cuz he’s way better than me at chopping when it comes to tasting of foods like when you’ve got like big lumps of pepper and onion food tastes better when it’s chopped better and I’m only really
Starting to realize that over the last year but we especially with Burgers you don’t want massive lumps of onion onion in there yeah it’s not going to taste great so once I’ve peeled it I show okay so all you’re going to do is just pop your mints and onion garlic seasoning
Into a bowl then roll it into I like to say patties patties yeah patties but we want these burger patties to be really thick and I did actually go looking for a burger like squisher today I know but I couldn’t find one you can use anything
Use anything but I do want to buy one and I think I might try and look on Amazon see if we can get one of those I normally add around I’m just going to say like a good tablespoon and then we need a couple garlic cloves smell that
Oh no it smells like that actually smell like s yeah it smells good good this is really good it’s an American burger seasoning so it’s got black pepper garlic and red bell pepper that smell like exactly like 7 for 5 it smells like yeah I know it’s really good I can’t
Can’t remember finger on what it is fancy yeah but you got it I’ve always you don’t get the little small squares I actually I’m going to leave the big bits today cuz we want it nice and thiner don’t we you can go through it make sure
That okay and then actually let’s add an egg cuz otherwise it might be a little bit dry and it won’t bind I actually feel like when you’ve got contacts in makes your eyes a little bit better to onion can you mix that cuz I’ve got long nails on my nails in there
No what is it with mixing stuff and you got long nails on in there I know but I’ve got long nails it okay stuck under there you can’t mix dir Grimes underneath your nails have you got any gloves no just mix it I can’t look at my nail yes she
Can oh I’m not saying it because they they’re precious like Ellie I’m just saying like my nails are probably dirty I’ll do it God tell what I’ve been washing my hands we so much recently that they’re getting so dry and so painful I’m having to like hand cream my
Hands every hour cuz they’re that dry if you saw my hands you’d think I was about 60 70 years old I’m not even going to do it you know the problem we’ve got a scrub down here with the asso one and then we’ve got a new a different one
There to scrub so you scrubbing your hands all the time when you’re washing them you need to wash is that too big yeah you want to squish it right down so you’re going to roll it into bsed to buy the asop soap which was really exp actually it was £30 but it
Did last us three months so I kind of feel like10 a month on soap is not actually so bad I mean it is extortionately price but no but to be honest it just feels so luxurious when you wash your hands so this is 500 mil
How many Ms is a is andrex is that right so is it called andrex what’s it called then SX SX no what’s it called then no it’s like Nivea or something no little1 ones you get to be fair they’re quick let’s start buying son yeah what
I’m just I’m not going to justify the really expensive hand wash there’s no you canic you can’t justify it I’m sorry I shouldn’t have been inside that conversation but it is the best Mellon but it is and this one and this is the hand cream and we’ve had this three
Months and it’s it’s there so we’ve not used any of it yeah true it does last ages guess okay so these are in four even B so we’ve got they’re way too big yeah but we’ve got 500 G of beef mins yes so 250 of Patty no
125 oh four balls yeah you want to do less no it’s fine but that is going to be like on I let’s make it let’s add another burger and then what we going to smash it down then um a bowl a bowl a bowl they are made so we got four balls
We got five balls I forgot about this one here five balls I am eating with Kieran though he does eat a ridiculous amount of food so I’m guess you could to be honest make six burgers out of this but we are going to be adding two
Patties to each and now it’s time to cook the burgers so squish them down a little bit and then when you put them in the pan you can actually squish them down a little bit more oh you’re just going to do it like that okay yeah so
You want them to be really flat we’re thinking like McDonald’s kind of burger flat is that flat enough you want it quite rough that’s what five guys do yeah that’s fine you know what’s worrying is that the date on this cheese is the 31st of May 2024 shows how bad it
Is I probably won’t buy that again actually I think I’ll just T normal cheddar that actually isn’t very good but it does taste really good and it is the cheese that they use so we’re going to allow it for my five guys fway but I’m just going to get the the cheese
Slices out of the wrappers and then when the burgers are cooked we’ll pop the cheese on top and we’ll melt actually we probably won’t need to that CU we put the burgers in boil and it will just melt anyways put the lid on it let it melt straight the burger straight them outelt
Okay and we’re just going to pop the lid on to the cheese apparently there’s a reason as to why we’ already done two bags at time yeah there is what is the reason because if you put too much meat in there at once the Pan’s actually cooler and it lowers the temperature so
It doesn’t cook and actually that’s why when you put loads of chicken in a pan and it goes all like bubbly and doesn’t go crispy yeah it’s like steak you do one steak at a time yeah it’s like new I’m just going to cut the burgers in half and then um lightly
Toasted there’s a bad knif in there fine perfect she looks so good now you could add your lettuce here but obviously I forgot and you could also add any other sauces onions whatever you like in your Burgers when we go to when we do get a Five Guys we
Just get grilled onions and cheese so to be honest with you I don’t even get lettuce oh my goodness how good does that look sitting here I’ll make it on this plate I don’t really feel like a slice of lettuce would have contributed to my daily intake anyway you burned that
One mine kieran’s and there we go there are our Five Guys Bak my Burgers M okay ready feel like I’m to get my M up around this hot that’s the smell I was thinking about the little gens in sauce is it m that tastes so good wow this
Sauce another level rape SE all so that’s a no egg girkin sugar white wine vinegar shots must mustard it’s actually not bad for you Dill ground pepper that makes a burger it yeah te patties is quite hard to eat I was feeling hungry now I don’t know if I regret it why you
Get food out Beyond me how one Burger can fill up anyone really no McDonald’s I’ll have a burger and I’ll be more hungry really M cuz McDonald’s burgers are actually all just full of salt so when you eat it and like the fats that it contains when you eat it actually
Just makes you more hungry but it didn’t know that what there was a full day of eating whilst trying to get fit and healthy and let me tell you I’m really enjoying this journey and also just mindfully eating which I feel like at the moment is the
Best thing for me and again I’m quite enjoying it and it’s going okay and I’m getting used to it so I hope you guys found this useful as always even if I’m tracking or not tracking I always make sure that my meals consist of protein it’s really important because if you
Want to maintain muscle or you want to build muscle and you want to say super full you need to eat your protein I honestly get so many people come to me that are trying to diet and they’re just tracking their calories and it is such a game Cher if you actually track your
Macros so give it a try for sure um but I’ll make sure I put all the recipes and the ingredients and everything like that in the caption below so you guys can also make anything if you want to but thanks so much for watching guys I hope
You enjoyed this video and I’ll see you at the same time next week bye guys
