29/30
A good day. Diet 'bob on' to elfintan-phrase. Half hearted back n bis this morning, was lifting decent enough weight & did all my sets n that, but just wasn't flying like new legs n chest & tri WO's. Can't wait to get new B&B next Fri.
Cardio tomorrow. Off to bed with 1/2 a CNP protein bar & a cuppa to watch a couple episodes of lost.......no plot spoilers please we're only on the 2nd series rmbr, lol!

What's with the bar?????? NO CHEATS!!!!! You are having plenty enouhg food lady....if you get famished, egg whites or whey protein. Flapjacks and are only there for absolute emergency.

Hi fifi - looks like things are going really well ;o))

Just curious - what are your timings for your preWO, postWO and breakfast meals? and how much whey do you use in your PWO shake?, and i assume your rice is weighed after cooking?

Tan how could you think such a thing!??! It was a cnp protein bar which is a lot lower in carbs than a flapjack, I would only have a flapjack as an am snack if I was caught short out shopping on a sat am or something. I need something solid in the pm tho as I like the cuppa, so egg whites would work also, only got 1 bar left anyhoo & not that fond of them, so won't be getting any more! I shud try the egg whites with lemon & sweetener eh? that'd go with T & I did say I've got a box of ProPudding sat there!
Hi Annie, thanx for checking in on me
preWO - 5.45am (cnp whey)
postWO - 7am (cnp propeptide)
Breakii - 8.45am (cnp whey)
20g whey each (well, 1 scoop of the scoops that come with them, approx 20g I think)
Yes rice weight is after cooking, just easier for me to work out.

Friday night was my company’s new year ball at the chancery hotel in London. S’a gorgeous place & the food was fantastic. How the chef managed to cater for 150 & all of us had a really nicely pink medium rare piece of beef, when proceedings ran ocer by half an hour??!?? Very impressive, we struggle to produce it for 2 in our own kitchen!
Didn’t have any nibbles, had 1 glass of champagne & 1 large glass of red. Meal was avocado & tomato salad to start, the beef with a jus (gravy to you & me, lol!) & mash, but only about 2 tblsp which was a relief, I find mash hard to resist & I did have the pudding of chocolate mouse. This is good progress for me as I would normally have had A LOT more to drink & a lot more pre-dinner nibbles.
Sat:
Oat (46g)+egg white omelette (2+1) with spring onions, toms & 30g low fat cheese
Cottage cheese on toast
6 oysters & soup with 70g cooked chicken
Fish n chips - homemade: I had poached haddock Mark had breaded, I had 125g oven chips mark had ?a lot!? With mushy peas.
Cottage cheese on toast

Sun: Did Legs + 30 min cardio
PreWO: 20g whey in water with espresso + 23g oats made with water+dash skim milk&honey
Breakii: 46g oats made with water+dash skim milk&honey+2tblsp seeds + 20g whey in water with espresso
Snack: 100g CC on toast
Dinner: Roast chicken dinner
Snack: 100g CC on toast

So feel quite good about progress in exerting my will power, both on Fri night & also Sat with the fish n chips.
Chest n Tris in the morning & spin pm.

Looks like you are going great guns!  Well done - at this time of year i find spring/summer is a great incentive to get back into shape!

Phew!
Thanks Annie, confirmation I'm on the right path & motivation from a Pro is priceless in my book.
Thank You!

Progress stats & photos this w/e.
Feeling A LOT slimmer at mo, & confident that I might actualli be able to bloody do this this time!
So may even post photos if there's a decent improvement...........even tho far away from where I need to be, progress is the name of the game, eh.
xx

OMYGOD!!!!
I've just died & gone to heaven!
Usually have choc whey/ propeptide with an espresso in pre WO, had vanilla propepetide with espresso in pre spin last night, FM was AMAZING!
It's like I've found the latte that I love but my tummy won't let me have, sooOoo kule!

Hi hififi!

LOL, dont start using more of elfintan's sayings, she doesnt need more encouragement, soon it will be all chesticles and such 
i've never tried pro-dessert, any good?
I have an awful sweet tooth and i've wondered if its cured it for you in the past?

 

HelloOo!
Oooo, you'll love pro-pudding then, it's actualli a bit too sweet for me, I have to mix it with a bit of quark to tart it up, hehe! But hubby's got a really sweet tooth & finds it fine.
xx

no such thing as too sweet, it beats rice cakes and fish during prep i guess!

another quark lover, i'm being hit with that word from 3 different people today lol

seriously, who names a product after a gagging noise?!!

PMSL @ Fifi....we sell them in the gym. Post w/o! I'm a frappe addict!

WooHoo!!! I lost 8lb this month! Well chuffed.
Just goes to show it does work when you stick to the diet 7 days out of 7 rather than 5, hehe!
And that was having a week out with cold, so hopefully with a full month I can do it again.

Thinking about popping along to Monster Gym next Sat for BNBF meet as is only an hour down road.
Be good to meet Annie & some other more like minded folks, don’t want to be only girl tho, have emailed Annie at gym to sus out.

Had phenomenal WO this morning upped leg press from 3x50kg (7 reps) to 1x50, 1x70, 1x90!! (& then 1x50 for 25 reps).  Felt fine aswell! Was holding back as I then move to the power plate & didn’t want to fall off again at end of sess! But will up weights again next week. Upped squat also, but not by anything significant, but it’s an increase non-the-less I guess.

Tan-s’good to know I’ll be able to get my frappe fix when I come to seminar!

You're steaming ahead in the right direction ! Well done !

Thanks Welshy!
I needed a good loss to keep me motivated, really chuffed as is PT David.

WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

hififi


WooHoo!!! I lost 8lb this month! Well chuffed.

Thanks guys.
I needed to last night Tan! But I did, I'm outov bars, so had another cupov 'erbal T & was fine. Pukks T's are REALLY good, particularly, detox, clarity & refresh if you can find it, altho I can't, but ordered it on-line.

Really good going there Fifi :-) Just spot on :-)
