Thanks Kitty, I did :-)
I FINALLY NAILED THE 60KG BENCH!!!! GET IN! THIS ONE'S BEEN BUGGING ME SINCE THE DAY AT MONSTER WHERE CARL WOULDN'T LET ME TRY IT...

WELL DONE YOU on benchpress!!! Thats HEAVY!

yum yum.... I would die for some chocolate right now.... Instead I'm munching on some cottage cheese.
No more chocolate for 8 weeks now arghh!

For Easter, all I wanted was a Quality Street easter egg - the shops ran out so Carl got me a mahoouuuuusive Caramel egg and a box of Quality Street
We shared the chocs last night and I had a beer, then today I trained with Carl and am now enjoying my first easter egg in 3 years, Carl is also enjoying mine, NOT the Guiyan one I bought him...
 
Trained Arms today, then did some pad work, then did some fitness routine stuff, recorded it too for once Purpose behind it was I had a nightmare last night that I was on Britain's Got Talent doing a fitness routine and Simon Cowell was yelling at me saying "What on earth made you think you could do this?", "You were the WORST I've seen today", and various mean things like that... I woke up bawling my eyes out Then I was like, 'What if I can't do this stuff?' so wanted to record where I was to see it for myself... It wasn't that bad at all... Fu** Simon Cowell

We got a Wii!!! And WiiFit

Will be interesting to hear an honest appraisal over the next few weeks as to whether they are really worth having or a bit of a gimmick which migrates toward the cupboard under the stairs. Have been thinking about getting one for my aged parentals.

lol @ the nightmare!

also let me know on the wii fit!

i am really not a computer game person so wonder if this is something i could get into for alternative cardio

My nightmare was horrid!!! None of you should be laughing!!!
 
I think Kitty had a WiiFit for xmas if my memory serves me correctly, you should ask her how she got on with it... I will keep you updated, my shoulder and wrist are already hurting from getting to grips with Mario Olympics

Today Carl took me through his evil leg workout... I'm ashamed to say that when he took me outside to do barbell lunges as my last exercise, in shorts, in the cold, I did one set then stormed off inside and refused to finish, I was exhausted, my form was sh1t and I was freezing and worried about injury...  He took my effing and blinding very well

Then finished up with about 20minutes sretching... Some chick next to me REALLY annoyed me, Carl quietly informed me I would have to stop glaring at people however, in the gym that I'll be working in...
 
I didn't get shaky legs, just burny legs...

Leggies were in agony yesterday... I used the Novosonic massager on them but it scared the cat
 
Decided on a new strategy, am still not ready to give up my weekly cheat yet, I pondered giving it up this weekend just to see what would happen with my weight if I did but by the end of the weekend I was like 'This is silly, I am ENTITLED to A cheat in my off-season, I stay clean ALL WEEK'
So new strategy is thus, I am not having my cheat until Sunday, then it doesn't spiral into a weekend cheat.
 
So last night me and Carl went to PizzaHut and had cheesy garlic bread, nachos, chicken strips, and a medium meditteranean meats pizza - which is an improvement on what normally eat Am back to normal this morning

Is that normal, normal or just normal for Flick??? 
 
Loving the Cheat Strategy.
 
After the week I've just had, I'm soooo going to have to real in my cheat/treat to maybe one of Liz's lush sounding garlic, onion brocolli curry powder thingies (I know, but hey, it's worth a shot!)
 
Interesting, just caught up with the leg issues........

So, just done my first two days at work... It's been hectic :-)

Had my first paying client wanting a programme, and we had a semi-famous pop group in yesterday which was a bit exciting :-D

Today would've been a day off but I did give an hour slot to a lady at 7.30pm so doing nowt til then, maybe some sunshine and a workout about 4.30pm...
 
Trained Chest n Triceps yesterday, ok workout, will have to start training early mornings methinks... :-/

Hope you're enjoying the new job x

Am loving it thanks Tan :-)

Trained Shoulders and Abs prior to work and did 20 mins cardio, 10mins running on treadmill and 10 mins Extreme Zone Training on Stepper :-)
