Pre workout fuel..

This area has always caused me problems. For most on my adult life, I have suffered with acid reflux. If you have ever had it you will know how debilitating it is!!

Since counting my calories and cutting done considerably on alcohol, it's been an improvement but pre workout fuel is still a tough one.

I have tried banana's and cereal bars and cereal and all variations really but they all give me shocking heartburn. I have settled on a spoonful of meridian nut butter now. I end up famished after but there are enough calories without the volume to help me through.

Today's choice is hazelnut butter. It has a lovely bitter tang and a vile murky brown look... But it's yummy!! 

  

It's 100% hazelnuts so none of that nasty  palm oil muck!

Anyway, I need to get ready!! 

What gets you out of bed at this stupid hour?

I love not wasting a day, but I've always been a little displeased with the 5am's of the day.. If its a work day anyway.  

When I'm struggling to find the energy to lift my sore and aching self up and out to the gym, I think about the times when I'm injured and I can't go. I make myself remember how annoyed I feel that I can't exercise and I soon pull my finger out!

100 abs workout this morning followed by a boxing session with one of the guys from work. That should finish me off just nicely for the weekend 

This is my current abs workout, courtesy of Liam, my PT's Facebook page. I'm working on managing all the big sets without breaks. It's not pretty.

Happy Friday!
