Never Give Up NEW PICS on p.311

She actually said I was doing too much and needed more structure to my workouts and body regime.
Because I need to gain width in my back, and perhaps dare I say it, don't need to lose as much weight as I thought I did I guess that'd be the reason. I've just been instructed to intensify my rather wimpy post-workout cardio sessions instead. Need to keep bpm around 145-160 for 20 mins...

Good luck. Shall be interesting to see how you change with your new advice. Make sure you take plenty photos for comparison, it is a great incentive even though it kills oyu to take the before ones (well it does me anyway)

I had to go through the before process in front of the mirror on Saturday...

Am hoping to get to the point where I can be proud of what I see before me... I will take some proper before pics, begrudgingly

Thanks Kitty

21.30 25g Turkey (see story below)

Had a CR*P day y.day...
1) got my nice evening meal boxed up adn ready (Turkey Salad) as I was off to see a friend for heart to heart. Put it down in the hallway and managed to knock it completely upside down so the lid came flying off and my dinner was all over the carpet! So I had to but some chicken from the M&S Foodcourt or be late for my friend... Was fuming.

2) On the way to meet said friend I'm walking down from teh station. Two teen girls start yelling at me (I had my headphones in). I stop turn around and they start being all sweetness and light asking for a cigarette. When I said no they got nasty and asked if I wanted to be bottled. At which point I lost it. They were only 14 with beer in their hands and I was minding my own business. So I said "No, f-off", pushed one, they chucked beer all over me so I punched one in the stomach and walked away with them shouting at me. Felt really shaken. I just don't get angry like that! Then went and met friend with left hand side of my head stinking of beer! And what makes it worse is that I'm off booze at the moment! What is today's youth coming to?!

Legs still aching from Saturday but I'm pleased because that is the hardest I've ever trained...

Another good day IMO... well done Flick

Aching still from Saturday is good IMO... shows you've worked your butt off TBH...

I trained shoulders and back on Friday afternoon and on Saturday and Sunday - it felt like I'd been hit by a bus

Just had a good catch up on your last week or so Flick and you're doing great. Even pre diet-change you were staying on track and doing really well.

As Kitty says it will be interesting to see how the changes affect you. Keep it up girl!

Just weighed in:
9st 4lbs (lost another 1lb in a week -yay!)

I feel like the new eating plan is giving me lots more energy which I'm loving. I'm not however, enjoying wealking around like a granny cos I can't bend my legs!
