I was supposed to be training again tonight but I am hurting too badly, so I’m going to save it for tomorrow night instead.

On Weight Loss Resources today, there has been quite a lot of discussion about fat loss and toning.  With that in mind, I thought it might be a good idea to draw your attention to a couple of articles I wrote that cover the subject and dispel the myths.

I’m not a nutritionist or a personal trainer, nor do I profess to be.  I wrote them with information I have learned from reading a wide variety of sources, both in books and on the internet.  It’s just a shame that you have to wade through so much crap to get to the truth of the matter.

Today has been a good day, apart from the sore muscles.

I have booked my flights to Belfast in February for my weekend with my lovely friends Jildo and Stella.  We have tickets to see Lady Gaga on 22nd February and I am so excited!



I also have a huge meet up of internet folk at the start of February to look forward to.  If you remember, our last meet up was our wild weekend in Manchester which was a weekend to remember forever.  This time, there are about 18 of us all meeting up in Birmingham, going for cocktails and a meal and then spending the evening getting ever so slightly pishty.

My weight loss this morning gave me such a boost and helped me to stay on track with my food, even though I have been pretty hungry all day.

I started off the day with a bowl of porridge, made with 50g jumbo oats, 300ml skimmed milk, 10g shredded coconut, scoop chocolate whey and topped with pecans.


My mid-morning snack was 100g lean ham and a babybel light.  I don’t normally eat a lot of ham because it’s not the best source of protein but the chicken I had left to defrost in the fridge overnight wasn’t thawed out properly.


Lunch was a wholemeal pitta bread filled with tuna and kidney beans.  A random combination but the beans were in the fridge waiting to be used and I didn’t want to waste them.  It was actually really lovely.  I did take a photograph but it came out pretty crap so I’m not going to bother posting it.

I didn’t eat an afternoon snack as I was a busy bee so I practically wolfed down my dinner, which was amazing.

Chicken & vegetable skewers – marinated chicken with red pepper, green pepper, courgette, red onion, mushroom and cherry tomatoes, served with spiced potato wedges.


Nutritional breakdown for the day:

Calories: 1640
Protein: 140g (34.7%)
Carbs: 130g (30.5%)
Fat: 62g (34.8%)
Fibre: 22g
F&V: 5

Drinks: 1.4L water, 8 cups green tea

Exercise: None – too sore :(

I’m thinking I need to increase my calorie allowance a bit as I am starting to get pretty hungry.  WLR is only giving me 1618 which just isn’t enough!  I might try adding on an extra 100 calories from tomorrow.
