Hi Liz,

I know how you feel with that one. When it TOTM (like it is now) I want to eat EVERYTHING!!! even my own arm look appetising!!

yeah I think you need a rest day. Something I learnt on my course the other day (that I didn't know before) That the recovery period after exercise is actually more important than the work out (if that makes sense) if you don't allow your muscles to recover properly (especially if they are aching) they will just become exhausted.

I'm aching from last nights session as I haven't been for a while, I'm not going again until friday now. I would go thursday but i'm working all day and night on thurs

Doing good though hun, keep it up.

I'm going to take my measurements from now as well I think, as I don't think weight is completely reliable.

I keep forgetting wot u training to be Hun! Ur a useful contact u can tell us best exercises etc. ;-)
Yes I sort of knew it's best to rest ur muscles that's y we have Wednesday's as a rest day but I cud have it as a diet free day too cos I going a bit stir crazy eating the shakes but I worried I gonna put on! Oo dilemmas n turmoil hate it x I think if I don't have one day off a wk I will come off altoghether n go bak to square one n I dont want that! Not after I can actually fit in my size 12 bikini! I nearly died!

Thanks for the support as ever hun xx

U doin great yourself love, I bet ur active at work anyhoo xx

 

[Nixnax]

Ha I'm not active in work. I will be once i'm qualified though

I have saturdays as my 'lazy diet day' I don't concentrate on it as much. We need some time off or we'll go crazy. I must say that drinking the shakes is getting very boring but it's easier than making sandwiches for work

I need to get some more snacky things on my lunch break. I try to do something each week. the first couple of weeks I had fruit, Then go ahead bars, this week I've had snack a jacks. Hmmmm what to have this week. Any yummy suggestions?

Caribbean cruise sounds lovely. I was supposed to go to Dominican Republic last July but had to cancel it due to leg break. I was so upset but ended up going for christmas instead and I had a great time despite being on crutches. lol Hadn't had a holiday since 2006 so was well needed.

Hi
I have been decisive for a change!

I have decided to not input on MFP on Wednesday's to give me a break inputting calories etc cos I am a bit sick of doing that, also wednesday is day off gym so I have no extra cals for anything!
so I am having Wednesday as my day off that n Saturday is my day off shakes all together cos I gettin very bored x

I will still be trying to b extra good n go gyming! But am gonna try not to worry about it so much!

I have enjoyed an attempt at cooking chicken pesto pasta for tea, nice.

Have had a few too many lil treats today n feel I have got it out of my system!
So going for a jog tomoz lunch then gym after work!

Going to dye my hair now!

Oo I also have lost another inch of my thighs! My thighs r tightening up at last! Yay! ;-)

 

[Nixnax]

Yay on the inch loss, that's amazing liz.

I'm getting a bit frustrated now with myself. I just cant seem to stay on the wagon. Something always comes up. Like last night i ended up having chips with my meal and a bottle and half of wine!!! We had a good study period though and got loads done.
