Nikkie- Cardio first thing on a Saturday - you are certainly hooked babe!
My husband is rather chuffed at my commitment to be honest, he is a bit of the possesive type actually and I thought he would not be too happy at the thought of me parading my half naked bod on stage in front of a hall full of strangers however, he knows I would do it with or without his 'blessing'!
I am doing this for me, no body else, not to win (although that would be excellent!) certainly not for other men! i think he realises that standing in my way would be like standing in front of a steam roller (only a bit smaller I hope!)
Hope you can keep up the enthusiasm Nikkie, it is one of the things that will keep you going!!!!

Hi there - thanks Tan, feels good so far!!
Training today then:
50 mins cardio pre brekkie as normal!
Weights:
Seated dumbbell curls x 4 (1 for warm up). reps: 15, 12 x 3. weight: 7.5, 10, 12.5kg x 2
Lying tricep extension x 3. reps 12 x 2, 10. weight: 10, 12.5, 15kg + bar (not sure how much weight that adds - must check!)
Cable curls x 4. reps: 12 x 2, 10, 8. weight: 6,7,8 x 2 on stack (supposed to be in 10kgs - can't be right!!lol)
Single arm pushdowns x 4. reps: 12 x 3, 10. weight: 2, 3, 3, 2 on stack
Concentrated curl (dbs) x 3. reps: 12, 12, 10. weight: 12.5kg

Pushdown m/ch x 3. reps: 12, 10 x 2. weight: 10, 15, 13 on stack - goodness what that's equivalent to!!?
By that stage, my arms were pooped!!! All pumped and dreading the drive home - thank goodness for power steering!!lol. I remember a car without it and a side street parallel park that used to be murder after doing arms!! lmao.
Diet is slightly round the other way today as I have to train in the mornings at the weekend, but the content is exactly the same!! Easy peasey!! lol. People already commenting in the gym this week on some of the changes - I hope this will increase as the weeks roll on! he,he!

Good for you Nikkie, stay focussed and let James guide you through the nutrition side of things - he knows what he's doing! You'll be so pleased when you get to your goal you won't regret any of the sacrifices along the way. Writing your journal will serve as extra motivation. All the best.

Mornn' folks!! . Back to training days again, yesterday was a bit strange, I felt like I hadn't earned my breakfast after no cardio  , al I can say is, it was a good job I filled the majority of my day with visiting my Mum and a good friend!
Hey Chrissie! I even got to wear my shoes for half an hour or so - surprisingly comfortable, felt silly in my combats (tied at my knees!!lol) though, not at all glamourous!!lol.
My mum said ooo, they're nice, for something special?! I nearly cried with laughing - my response: Yes Mum, for the comp blah-de-blah, not for a night out (she thought I was going dancing with my friends) - I confirmed with, not unless we're taking a pole with us!! She's mad sometimes!
Right then - best get my bum on my bike for 60mins (got myself confused James, feel like I've diddled myself out of an hour in total last week - I read your email and could've sworn it said 50 mins, then yesterday I read the plan without skipping the cardio bit 'cos I thought I knew and I noticed it says 60mins  , an hour down on what it should be - bum!!)
Training tonight, as it's Monday and the gym will be full of people feeling guilty for having at least 2 days off and lots of alcohol and take-aways, it's legs day!! That means tomorrow it's hobble about and shuffle day! LMAO!
Hope you all have a fab Monday at work or doing whatever you're doing!

Right then - update!!
Have spoken with James today and it was decided to leave the diet as is for the time being - which is fine. It's been pretty easy to manage on the whole so there's a bonus!!
Made me laugh when he asked if I'd been rumbled by hubby yet!! - no, not yet!! Well, I don't think so anyway!! he, he!!
Training:
60 mins cardio < brekkie
Legs tonight!
Leg Press x 5. Reps: 18, 15 x 3, 12. Weight: 40, 80, 100, 120, 140kgs
SLDL x 3 Reps: 12. Weight: 25, 27.5 x 2 kgs
Lying leg curl x 3 Reps: 12. Weight: 30, 35 x 2 kgs
Seated leg curl x 3 Reps: 15 Weight: 40 x 2, 45 kgs
Squat x 4 Reps: 15 x 2 , 12, 11. Weight: 30, 40, 50 x 2 kgs
Leg extensions x 3 Reps: 15. Weight: 5 plates on stack
Donkey Calf Raises x 3 Reps: 15 Weight: 8, 9, 10 on stack (That hurt!  )
Not bad overall, had to jiggle things around a bit as the gym was busy - Mondays!!
So that's it for today, quite pleased on the whole!!
