Oh dear................
Having a VERY bad weekend!
Was going to hide in MT shadows and not post for a while but PT said I should post.
Was feeling quite good & slim Saturday morning, so I weighed and measured..........
............NO difference! I’ve killed myself for a month for NO difference!!??!!
WHY did I bother?? Every biscuit, every slice of cake I say no to at work, why??
If I’m going to have dis-ordered eating, which BB is, I may-as-well go whole hog? I’m not losing body weight/fat this way?
This resulted in a bender that included ¾ of a bottle of red, 2 magnum’s and a ham sandwich!!!
I then sobered up and compared the photos, also taken sat am, with my 3
rd may photos. Mmmm, Mark & PT reckon they can see definite differences, PT even said if I'd shown him photos and not stats he would've thought we were right on track.
But I’m not so sure, how can there be if there’s no measure difference?
Fair enough no weight difference as with all the stairmaster work etc. I’ve been doing my leg muscles will have got tighter/ denser and will be weighing heavier, but they should be measuring less?
PT reckons you can see that they look harder, but my unreasonable female brain’s being pretty harsh!
Had a pow-wow with him this morning and feel better.
I had just tweaked my diet last week as I was closer to 2000 cals than 1700 for 3wks. So gonna stick with the tweaked diet and see how it goes. Will prob weigh in 2 weeks this time to check I’m on track.
WO’s will now include 2 runs, PT reckons at this stage it’s the best activity for weight/ fat loss. Will keep one stairmaster session to keep glute activation.
Mon – AM Legs PM Spin (45min)
Tues – AM 50min cardio – 10 incline treadmill, 20 stairmaster, 10 bike, 10 incline treadmill.
Wed – AM back n Chest superset WO PM Spin (60min)
Thurs – AM 50min cardio – run/walk
Fri – Arms+Shoulders + tabita sprint set
Sat or Sun – 50min cardio – run/walk

Do I need dextrose post WO? My understanding is that it’s needed to raise insulin levels to enhance protein synthesis/ uptake by muscles? Was having 20g but lowered it to 10g.
Had been having 23g oats pre-WO but feel that was too many cals and maybe body was concentrating digesting carbs when should be working out? Also good time saving not to eat real food at 5.45am.
Would like dinner to be carb free, but I feel MEGA hard done to if I don’t have my rice!? So will try to have some carb free dinners but have calculated rice into macros to allow for having it.
I had had a mini-magnum on my sat pm cheat, but have now bought pepsi max to have as sweet treat. Will try not to have regular so it feels like a treat when I have it.
So a few tweaks, but nothing major as I don’t think I’m far off getting results I want, just surprising how strict and consistent my body needs me to be in order to get the changes I want.
Also found Saturday’s results a bit tough to chew when everyone else is doing so well and even worrying about losing weight too quickly!!??!! Bitches! Hahaha, not really
All comments on diet etc VERY welcome, please?!
