Top 10 Deceptively Unhealthy Foods:
Wrap Sandwiches
These sandwiches can trick you into thinking you’re being healthier because the bread is thinner, but in reality, they are often made in a size that’s large enough for two people.
Try this instead: Have a sandwich on whole-grain or whole-wheat bread. Fill it with lean meats and plenty of fresh veggies.Breakfast @ 10am
Half of a corned beef and eggs sandwich (2 layers).
Lunch @ 11am
Other half of the sandwich.
Gym @ 12pm
1 hour pilates.
45 minutes kickboxing + 15 minutes stretches.
So tiring but felt so good afterwards.
Dinner @ 5.30pm
Bowl of red rice with eggplants, fish and vegetables.

Diet/Fitness Tip of the Day
How To Take Protein Shakes After Workout:
Drink a protein shake within one hour after working out. There is a window of time where the body reaps the most benefit from nutrition post-workout. Ideally, drinking a shake 15 to 30 minutes after a workout allows the body to take up the nutrients at a quicker rate to allow repair and recovery.
Lunch @ 11am
Half bowl of mushroom and corn soup. Small bowl of pumpkins.
Afternoon Tea @ 4pm
Pot of green tea.
Dinner @ 7pm
Mexican Cafe with UN Youth team. Salad and beef mince on rice. I ate 1/2 to 2/3. Incredulously yum!

How to Super Charge Your Morning Walk and Burn More Fat:
Drink a black coffee before you leave
If you want to burn more fat on your morning walk you should drink a cup of black coffee. Isn’t that great news? The bad news – you aren’t allowed to have any milk or sugar. Just coffee and water. Add anything else and you won’t get the benefit.Brunch @ 11am
Corned beef and pickles sandwich (265 cal).
Dinner @ 8.30pm
Bowl of green curry chicken and vegetables with white rice.
Had a loooooooong meeting today for a group presentation tomorrow. After that I have a two weeks break yusss.

How to Make the Most of Your Time on the Elliptical:
Toning your thighs
Pay attention to your feet. Pressing more with your heels will work your hamstrings and booty more, while pressing more with your toes will tone your quads on the front of your thighs. Pedaling backward on the machine is great way to tone your backside — hamstrings and glutes.Tone your glutes
To really target your glutes, work the incline. Do incline intervals increasing the angle for two to three minutes, followed by a similar period with a lower incline.Lunch @ 12pm
Smoked beef sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes.
Afternoon Tea @ 5pm
A few bites of cake.
Dinner @ 6.30pm
Bowl of mince noodles. Small bowl of mung bean soup. Watermelon and peach.
Annnnnd… a slice of chocolate ice cream cake. :P
Although all the sweet foods I ate were in small moderated portions.
