So I haven’t been posting on here in a month or two. I have since moved flats (post to come soon), taken part in a 24hr slot car race and decided to not take part in my two running events. I have not lost weight for ages now and it will be my 34th birthday…

Weekly workouts

Exciting times
Well not really, I still haven’t heard from the job I interviewed for last Thursday even though they said I wouldn’t heard before Monday. Well hello it’s now been a week! I also had a rather crap gym session this morning. In better news though I got 87% for my K217 EMA but my crappy…
The parents visit
My parents arrived at 7:30pm on Thursday after a 7 hour coach journey. Why they take the coach and not the train is beyond me. Our plan for the evening was to do nothing, I cooked two different crustless quiches with new potatoes and runner beans which turned out quite nicely. Friday we were off…

10/06 workout
So I did just cardio on the 10th, my legs were still sore from the day before I think it’s best not to do it 2 days in a row. I went on the spin bike for 5 mins then onto the threadmill, ending with some stretches. I’d also done 1 mile before this in…
This is my new gym
Yes I have joined yet another gym, this one however is 2.2 miles from my house so further than I usually go. I representation of what it will look like once the building has been completed (currently a building site). Gym on ground floor with cafe and living accommodation above (I think). Classes are…
Today’s session
Barbell squats: 1 set of 10 without weight then 4 sets of 10 with 5kg each side. I am terrible at squats, I can’t keep my chest up or back straight and my knees tend to go inwards. Today was better but I’m now finding that my upper arms (bicep/deltoid) are really stiff and that…
I think I’m slowly getting there.
So I am down 1kg this week, which is a lot for me. I’m logging everything I eat and staying under calories. With my new phone (Samsung Note 4) both my tracking apps work now – mfp & fitbit so it’s so much easier to log and check throughout the day. My 3rd gym session…
