Give it a year.
Hopefully I can inspire others to do the same.
Once a week I'll be posting a photo and every now and again, a workout video.
Another tasty, simple but healthy option are Char-grilled Sweet potato’s.
Grab a medium sized Sweet potato and pop it in the over for around 60 minutes (gas mark 6/200 degrees).
Once done, cut-in-half and allow to cool for around 20 minutes then sprinkle with some paprika, salt and pepper and shove it in the grill for around 2 minutes each side.
And there you go, a healthy filling lunch that’ll keep you on the go for a few hours.
As for the mushrooms, I just put a few in a bowl poured some milk over them and put them in the microwave covered for 2 minutes.
I’m gonna be aching tomorrow.. Reduced my rest time so my workout is more consistent. If you don’t already use a stop watch when working out then get into the habit of doings so, this is the one I use: http://www.online-stopwatch.com/full-screen-stopwatch/
So the last 4 or 5 days I’ve been naughty, I ended up going to a restaurant which pretty much says it all, I went out on a Friday night, although I was concious of what I was drinking and only stuck to vodka the whole night.. ok and cocktails.
And on top of that I wasn’t working out.
So all in all it wasn’t very successful but to make up for things, I’ve just gone out a bought a plethora of protein filled foods and vegetables to get back on track.
Sorry body for injecting you with crap. Back to working out and the 6 meals a day plan I think.
There’s a lesson to be learnt from this, which I see a lot of people not taking on with their own fitness plans. If you mess up one week then don’t beat yourself up over it, just get back on track, ok so you may of eaten double what you should of and all of the wrong foods, but there’s no use giving up and carrying on that way, pick yourself up and move on.
Today was pretty successful!
Breakfast - 3tbsp cream of wheat + 4 egg whites + 2c black tea
Snack - 1/2 pear + 5oz canned tuna
Lunch - 5oz canned tuna + 2c lettuce w 1tbsp balsamic vinaigrette + handful of cherry tomatos
Snack - Missed - 3 for 3 I think now.. Fuck you work.
Dinner -…

Make today great. I don’t care if you’ve been binging lately or missing your workouts. Let that end today. Go to bed tonight, proud of yourself. You can do it.

I’m a an idiot..
There’s me thinking this workout routine was INSANELY intense, when it came to me that maybe I wasn’t resting another in between each set…
Basically each day I work a different set of muscles, e.g. first day chest, second say, biceps, third day legs and abs.
There are six exercises each day (3 push and 3 pull), which I do 3 sets of, each time to failure. So as you may of guessed, after doing 1 set to failure and then having only 30 seconds rest and trying to do my second set, I feel dead.
So basically I realized I’ve been making this unnecessarily hard on myself, and from now on I’ll be having around 90 seconds rest.
Tip: For those of you who don’t know what a set is ‘to failure’ it basically means not counting how many reps you do, just that you keep going until you literally can’t lift your arm anymore (much more efficient than just going “it hurts now so I’ll stop.”
Quick update
So far the workout’s going well (other than today but I’ll explain why).
So I’m still aching from yesterday which can only be a good thing of course, but today I managed to take on a cold. I was gonna carry on with my workout but literally just got over one and it was shit.. So instead of my body using half it’s energy to get rid of the cold and half repairing my muscles I thought I’d just get it out of the way asap and get straight back to working out.
In the meantime I’ll still be going along with my diet which is still going well. I’m a lot more hungry compared to usual but I think that’s just due to my body being used to eating a load of crap 24/7 whenever I felt like it.
