Shape-Up 2009 general discussion

To everyone who is still in it - well done!!

I'm sure everyone has come a long way in the past 6/7 weeks.

Head down now to the finishing line!!

On the other side...... As a celebration for my 10lb weight loss, ive just had a singapore vermicelli and also a hot scone with jam and cream!!!! hahaha

I love cream teas - I once ate so much in Cornwall I had a whitey on the way out of tea shop

How many weeks left now? 5?

I hope everyone has the nuts to post their after photos - good or bad. 
Mine are going to be unimpressive, not that I havnt changed, more that the change doesn't look very good 

It has to be clotted cream

Carbing up on a hot day is hell.  Metabolism going into overdrive and warming me up and then the sun as well = cooking Papa!

Stand out in the garden and get Mama to hose you down

Just went for a swim in Easton pool - much cooler!  Time for some cous cous now!

Have had a lapse over the past 2 days

Burger King yesterday, plus Bruger and chips earlier in the day
Packet of Foxes Cookies
Maryland Chicken today


On the plus side I think I've lost another 1lb, will find out on monday weigh in

Too much booze yesterday...eaten too much crap over the weekend...but have added 1/2 inch to my arms since starting the shape up

I wish I hadn't have read that - I wondered how my arms were doing........down 1cm 

Still, gut is down to 79cm.

tried and failed to stay in this weekend, couldn't turn down free entry and a free table with drinks at a new club my friend sorted us out with. Ended up at some gazillionaires pad on the palm for an after party, jumping in and out the pool and messing about in the sea till a bout 8am in my pants, how embarassing!

At least you had pants on

Have had a wicked 48 hour carb up - feel much fuller this week - will see how things are on Friday!

Ignore my question in your journal Papa.

I see the advice paid off!

Im gonna up my eating for the final 5 weeks. Strength is increasing fine, but the size needs to catch up!

Right I am deffo out. After the weekend I have had I must have put on about ten stone.

The weekend got out of control.... Back to training after...

2 x singapore vermicelli, spring rolls, Mcdonalds x 2, steak pizza, rice crispies and a load of bread (be it sandwiches, toast or cheese on toast.

Oh and a pretty major session on saturday that finished at 7am on sunday!

Oh do buck up

Should've had a carb-up today but saving it for my bro's stag do next weekend.  Feel flat and fat but hey.  Threw a little extra cardio in at the weekend too.  Really haven't got a clue how I'll be looking at the end but a good change will be made

@Cardifflad, big deal mate, you;ve had a crazy weekend.  You'd been dieting all week so it might have given you metabolism a boost.  Come on bro don't get down, just get 5 mins more cardio done a day this week.
You didn't let me give up last week when I was bitching about wanting to pack in so come on mate!!

Cheers Rack mate. I am afraid that my general lack of motivation, slack attitude and general lack of willpower have me beaten again mate.

I am going to continue to cut but won't be posting any pics, I have made progress but nowhere near as much as I should have.

Sorry peeps. All the best with the rest of it though.
