Never Give Up NEW PICS on p.311

Goes to show I shouldnt speed read

It's cool, I've been quite cagey talking about it anyway! Move on and up that's what I say...

thats the spirit!!!

Lots of nice food still but I'm gonna weigh myself tomorrow regardless. I've moved house now so I'm hoping onwards and upwards, plus there's no nice food places nearby so I'm safe from nipping out for a nice snack!

Today I was going to go kickboxing but moved ex instead and did 5 flights of stairs, with 6 van loads of stuff including beds and sofa's so feel that was a sufficient workout.

Today I've eaten (may as well be honest)
07.30 6 squares of Dairy Milk
10.00 1 sausage roll
13.30 1 low fat prawn mayo sandwich on granary
18.30 30g wholemeal pasta, tsp sunflower spread, 25g low fat cheddar

Going to have a massive cook up tomorrow for the rest of the week, may well try Kitty's curry recipie as it sounds ideal. How long do you think cauliflower would keep in it?

40kgs 12 reps, 2 sets

Couldn't manage cardio my legs wouldn't stop shaking!


Had a semi-clean eating day of:
08.30 3 egg whites, 1 yolk, 25g half fat cheddar
11.30 1 scoop whey protein, 200ml skimmed milk
13.30 100g cottage cheese
14.40 Haddock frittata see below with 50g broccolli
17.30 100g cottage cheese
20.00 75g chicken, 100g mixed veg
20.30 packet of Highlights butterscotch nibbles (100cals/packet)

My Blog!

Haddock Frittata for 2:

200g haddock
handful sweetcorn
3 whole eggs, 2 yolks
75g half fat grated cheese
handful parsley
small knob of sunflower spread and spray oil to cook

1) Chop the haddock into small pieces, getting rid of any bones.
2) Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper
3) Add in the Haddock and Parsley
4) Heat spread and spray oil in a frying pan until it sizzles then add the mix
5) Cook on medium heat for 2/3 mins
6) Add the cheese on top and place in a pre-heated oven for 15-20mins at 200C
7) Serve with veg and enjoy!

I am guessing although the fat content may be a little high with the cheese and egg yolks, I know for a fact the protein content is somewhere between 35-40g...And it totally filled me up!

As you can see this pic from my builders night out at the weekend, my legs have a good size but I need to get some fat off desperately before I think about competing, am going to start cardio in the mornings at least three times a week now to help...

Very nice legs flick...

Sorry I mean from a bodybuilding perspective, good going with the shape of the legs keep at it...

Who am I trying to kidd, I do mean nice legs Flick, flirt over

Thank you

I think if I posted a photo of leg and glute area in thong your view might differ, but I'll take the compliment as it is!

May ponder that glute idea... I keep trying to kid myself and cover my butt but you can't do that on a BB stage!

TUESDAY (today)

06.40 20 min jog and 30 sit ups

07.00 tsp L-Carnitine, 1 Thermobol capsule
07.30 50g porridge oats, 200ml skimmed milk, scoop whey protein

Taking your body as being your piece of work as oppose to being the female figure..bear with me on this one as there is a question and a reason for the way I am asking..what is your height and your current weight, bf levels...I know we aren't supposed to ask, but I was just curious?

Ok I'm 5ft 4" and currently weigh 9st 7lbs. BMI is 22.9% Bodyfat I'm not sure as I never know if I'm measuring correctly, think it's about 22.1
Why? I'm intrigued...

My Blog!
http://flickfit.wordpress.com

I was curious as to how you were progressing, and it is something that is often discussed by male members, I was trying to make you feel welcome etc.
Also I reckoned from your pic you would have had a much lower bf% I was guessing around the 15% mark....

I think the pic is probably misleading... I carry all of my bodyfat purely on my lower half hips downwards. Upper body is very easy to get into contest shape but there's no symmetry there as I have a LOT of work to do on my legs...

May take callipers to my gym adn get someone there to measure my BF...

I think to get legs in order I'm pretty sure I'll need to be below 8 stone (something that hasn't happened since I was about 13...)

Will post a hideous behind photo then perhaps you'll see what I mean!

Does this demonstrate what I'm up against...?

I am really getting on dangerous ground here..

So here is my honest opinion..For a ladies bum it looks very nice, however I guess from a judges point of veiw they may not be happy with it??? Don't know why, I'm just clutching at straws as to why you may not like it

It certainly doesn't look like any other female glute area lets put it that way... I'm sure for a ladies bum it'll do but there is a lot of fat there that needs to come off and a lot more muscle to go on...

I'll happily remove that pic now...

http://flickfit.wordpress.com

Ok, and good luck with it taking the form you want it too Flick, have you got a date for the next comp yet?

If I could get teh weight off in time I'd happily stick with NABBA South East Toned Figure April 22nd... That being unlikely I'll do BNBF Southern Figure in August...

Good progress flick... keep at it

A little tip I picked up... if you're still hungry try drinking a pint of water, if you don't want to eat anything

  Reflex Nutrition Ltd - "Tomorrow's Nutrition Today"

Easier said than done, though I do try... Water tastes soooo gross. I usually have a cup of caffeine free tea with skimmed milk if hunger pangs strike. Try not to drink anything after 9pm, I have a tiny bladder which is still recovering after 2litres of water every gym session!

Ta for the tip though, drinking is definitely the way to go...

No worries Flick

As you say - easier said than done... I'm bulking till the end of March so it isn't something I'm doing at the moment TBH... will be when cutting starts though at the end of March

Good luck - I'll check in every once in a while to see how you're getting on...

And BTW IMO - there's nothing wrong with your bum

Since Oct'06 I've been bulking... gone from 13st to just over 15st at the minute planning to carry on bulking till the end of March... I keep a record of my training (in a little blue book) and James assists me with my diet.

I suppose thinking about it - I use the little blue book to record my acheivements... I've also used James to assist me with my cut... very happy with the results so far TBH... gone up two shirt sizes since Oct'06.

I think that everything's covered

Just been catching up on your recent posts Flick, all is looking great and well done on the morning cardio. Making me think about getting back into that a little too.

Didn't see your arse picture, but your legs look excellent. I too would have thought you were a lower bf% judging by the pics I've seen. Defo give the calipers a try and see what results you get.
And for the record Zlaty I don't think those questions are off limits, unless a female member points out they'd rather not say. I think it's nice that we can discuss these things, and our goals, openly with you guys on here and get the support.

Flick how long have you been using thermobol, and what do you think so far? I have tried a few times but stopped after a few weeks cos I was too hyper and a little spaced. Not ideal for workdays! Let me know if you think you're getting much use from it.

I'll have a browse anyway, I made my day with my squatting last night

Thanks Lisa, I guess I think it's good that we can discuss things on here looking at the body as the object of your efforts, I just would hate to offend someone, male or female by making a wrong judgement and asking an off limits question

I personally prefer eca or clen for assistance with fat loss... more effective IMO
