20 minutes HIIT on cycle, HR 150 - 180. Actually put my diet on Fitday today, works out better than I thought. :o 1,177 cals, 141.6g carbs (44%), 99.6g protein (36%), 25.8g fat (20%). Probably need to up the protein a little but I'll see how it goes.

Busy! That's where I've been. ;) Real-life has unfortunately intruded but it's one those things unfortunately. I haven't stopped workoing out but I kept forgetting to post them here (duh).

Damn...I so need to start posting here again. :o Diet has to be altered - this is the third day in a row I've come in under 1000 cals. :mad: I'll chuck in some extra protein and a bit of extra carbs (right now I'm on less than 10% fat so that can stay as it is). Hard leg workout to make up for...

I'm surprised considering how much I eat, but it's usually foods that are nutritionally dense rather than calorifically dense - like fruit and veg. Raw, there's hardly anything to them LOL An apple is 81 calories, 1/2 a grapefruit is 53 calories, a medium carrot is 26 and a cupful of mixed...

Busy day today. Took my two eldest and my sisters two kids to the park, and spent almost three hours playing football, frisbee, running, doing football drills and showing them how to sprint (I think that one tired all of us out LOL), and climbing steep muddy slopes. Also managed to get in about...

Cals kept to around 1000, all clean. Had a great climbing session today, about 2 and a half hours worth, learnt a lot of techniques and I'm surprisingly knackered. :D All in all, a bloody great workout.

Weight on the balls of your feet, in line with your hip and lean forward slightly, lift the knees slightly too as you're coming forward. Let it flow, don't purposely push off your foot when it touches the floor because that will slow you down. Funny what you can learn in a very short space of...

Did an unusual workout for me today, and I'm surprisingly knackered. :D Took Tommy's advice under my belt (he's the ones that's teaching me to climb and belay and stuff), and thought I'd go for a jog outside. I haven't ran in a long time because my knees hate me, but I read the recent issue of...

Diet around 1300 cals, all clean aside from a couple of biccies I had with a cuppa earlier on. :o Lost half a stone over the last two weeks, not all of it fat but it's making me lighter so that's one bonus I guess. I'm getting...streamlined. :) No weights but spent almost three hours at the...

Day 4: No workout today, just couldn't fit it in anywhere, try as I might. :mad: Diet still good. 1. Weetabix, whey. 2. Pineapple, ff natural yogurt, almonds. 3. Shrimp, salad. 4. V.low fat cheese and pickle sandwich (got caught on the hop again dammit). 5. chicken breast, 1/2 red grapefruit...

Day 3: Lower body today, upper body still aching from Monday (although my chest is actually kind of painful lol). No warm-up today, decided to go by the book (literally), but my heart-rate must have hit an easy 150 at times. Bloody felt like it, anyway. Squats 1x12@72.5, 1x10@83.5, 1x8@89...

I decided that it was time for a change so I've taken an entire week off to evaluate exactly what my goals were and where I wanted to be in a couple months time because I was just...coasting. I didn't have a goal, I didn't really know where I was headed so I had a damn good think. Then I...

I was kinding of swearing like a trooper after that... :o Tris today are absolutely KILLING me! I'm okay until I move :p Would do legs today but they're feeling a little off - my hams actually ache, probably all the hills I was running up on Sunday carrying first aid kits LOL

Diet clean so far today, will try to keep it that way. Aiming for around 1600 cals or so. 10 minutes cross-trainer, HR 130-140 Bench 5x5@72.5 1x5@78 1 minute skipping Chin-ups 5x5@40 1 minute jumping jacks Cable rows w/twist 3x15@25 1 minute skipping I think this will be classed as a...

Nutrisport 90+. It's about £12 (roughly $26) for a 1.5kg tub, has 45g protein (whey and casein), 1.4g carbs and fat per serving and one tub usually lasts me about three weeks at two shakes a day. The vanilla one is delicious. :D

LMAO! Only reason I don't is because I HATE looking like a hippo stuffed into a sausage ;) Today went quite well, although I didn't eat early enough before the gym so it was almost like working out on an empty stomach (except my stomach was still pretty full - duh!) 10 minutes cross-trainer...

LOL Baggy will have to do as long as it doesn't get TOO baggy. ;) 10 minutes cross-trainer, HR 130-150 Bench 5x5@72.5 (did try to up the weight to 78 but managed two before racking it and starting again) Chin-ups 5x5@50 Cable row 5x5@70 PR Dips 2x5@35 Decline crunches 3x10 10 minutes bike...

Thanks! I'm not that sore either, surprisingly. Half hour swimming, two mile walk. I had too much to do to get to the gym so I compromised LOL. I'm cutting my cals back down to 1600 to see if there's a difference - I've put on almost two pounds this week and I know damn well it isn't muscle...

90 minutes swimming and spent the rest of the day walking to Oulton Broad through the park and riverside, walking round Oulton Broad and back again (probably about six or seven mile round trip I guess). I'm bloody shattered, but at least the kids enjoyed it. :D

10 minutes cross-trainer, HR 130-150. ATG squat 5x5@89, x1@111, x1@122 PR (well, that's the four month plateau gone, at any rate lol) Leg press 3x12@88 Cable row 3x12@55 10 minutes bike, HR 140-160. Good workout, short of time so had to cut it or I'd have done some pull-ups or something too.
