Shape-Up 2009 general discussion

Neb


Redman...you're shape up bid is dead to me

In my defence... Having not trained for a year and having originally being nearly 17 stone when i did train, im putting the extra weight down to muscle growth... lol

feeling much better  with the cardio if im honest more energy etc I like

Everyone progressing ok? Been reading through more journals and other peoples thread than i thought. Great source of inspiration for me.

Can i just ask a really stupid question here?

If the shape up finishes on monday 27th July but the after photos dont have to be in until sunday 2nd august, cant people just continue there bulking/cutting right up to 2nd august and then post there pics on the last night?

Or are people checking when the pics were taken?

Fi?

Progressing just fine, weight is off a little but fat is dropping off, which is good.  Just about to carb up on Sunday too, with 900g of carbs - around 500g will be simply sugars too - Haribo

Yes that's right.  In the same way that people were given some time before the start of the comp to get their pics taken and post them up, you have a bit of time after the comp finishes to get your photos taken and posted up. So yes technically, you could leave it until the day before to take your pics, but then everyone has this opportunity to do so   .. the leeway is there for those that might be away or on hol etc, gives them a bit of extra time to get organised.

Ok thanks Fi lol

I had a bit of a 2 day bender after my exams. Fair amount of booze and meals out, I need to get off the creatine really to judge my progress re. weight.

Lifts constantly up though.

Stag do. Beverages commenced at 10.30am and finished at 4.45am.

I'm not even going to do a calorific estimation.  

Aaahhh, what's a cheat drink or 14?

This is now becoming a "confess my sins" thread lol!

Let's get back on track this week folks.  My weekend has been rather bad foodwise also, so draw a line under it and move on!

Ah well I may aswell add my confessions Two burger Kings and drinks on Saturday.

Back on it today though, nailing the cardio from now on. I will make the difference I want too.

Just count that as a cheat meal and move on

Must admit I've had a few portions of Lasagne this week for lunch, but if anyone knows Bellinis in Ilkeston then they'll appreciate why, but it was on days where I was doing both weights and cardio to balance it out.

That is what I am doing but it is time I got serious now, Pester me on facebook and threaten/bully me if necessary

Oh yes of course, I can pester, nag and even threaten when necessary!

I need to get my botty into gear as well, 3 months until I go to Cyprus now and I do not wish Greenpeace to trawl for me when I'm out swimming!   huh !

So far so good Ive not let a bad thing pass my lips ,feeling tired tho lol

No worries mate, ive managed to resist temptation with weekend, ton's of BBQ food and beer. It was hard but i managed it

Well done mate!! You know me ha ha. F8cking useless.

I am going to have to make these eight weeks count massively as I have wasted 4 weeks already. Lost some but could have been much more. Let's get it on!!!
