The day after the fast was really tough. It was a low carb day and I just felt so tired and hungry all day. Doing my exercise was a real struggle too, although I felt ok during my cardio run. I think part of it is that I have upped my weights from 3kg to 4kg. I was meant to do both the pyramid and the meltdown once I got home from my weekly group running training session, but my knee started to hurt again during the pyramid do I missed out the lunges on levels 4 and 5 and swapped the meltdown for the new bodyweight workout, an killer but ok for my knees. Not ideal, but don’t want to miss the sessions if possible or miss anything out and switching them around a bit seems to help. I have to admit to having a little carb in the afternoon as I felt so weak and horrible. It must have helped as I felt ok during my cardio. It will slow my results a little but I prefer that to feeling a little dizzy.
Only 11 days to go now until the end of the meltdown challenge so I need to push on and give it my all. Really need to concentrate on all the aspects of the program: sleep, workouts, nutrition, water and supplements. I am better at some things than others.

Gosh, it may have been hard, but it sounds like you’ve done a great job! Well done! I think all these diet and exercise changes are unsettling. Good for you for hanging in there.

I agree, the program will do you no good if you are too dizzy or weak to do the program! But really it sounds like you are on the right track, keep up the great job you are doing.

Sarah, with all your running I am not surprised that you feel weak and tired. I don’t know how you do it, I can’t even think of running right now with the amount of workouts we do! I am glad when I can do some bike cardio or on the cross country machine… and you run! And yes, all those lunges are deadly for knees that aren’t a 100%, I have to be very careful too…
