    would she call you on it if you suddenly had that glass door frosted?

    and about the masseuse, would you?

    Nope. Good body but not my taste in looks. She is a personal trainer too. Lovely girl though.

    Interesting, 150gms whey sounds a lot but i guess only about 350cals. Im very impressed at the early start and brekkie, damn im in a coma at 6.30 !

    I think you have hit the nail on the head with cutting in that late eating is baaaad. How do you fight the hunger pangs tho? I would be circling the fridge every few minutes like a vulture......

    I put away between 8 and 10 pints of water (minimum) a day. More when training. I also have 2 or 3 cups of white tea(not black tea with milk btw), and one camomile before bed (mild sedative quality as told to me by CJ). By drinking loads it helps keep my hunger at bay.

    Wednesday 23rd July 2008

    0630hrs - usual smoothie - incl. strawberries, blueberries, pomegranate juice, bananas, apples, raspberries, green kamut powder, Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend (containing omega 3,6 and 9 oils), grapefruitseed oil, porridge, soya milk and 40gms whey protein powder).

    1030hrs Shake - 40gms protein powder, 100gms porridge, water, soya milk, 1 banana.

    1330hrs 250gms basmati rice with lemon and coriander prawns

    1700hrs Protein shake - 40gms protein powder, splash of soya milk, water, 1 banana, 100gms Extreme carbs.

    2030hrs Dinner: Cod (line caught) fish cakes with plenty of mixed veg.

    Training: The baby was playing up and the missus was in our gym on the elliptical so I decided to blast out a conditioning routine outside.

    Started with 40 alternate leg squat thrusts, 60 seconds skipping, plank (15 seconds per position, full, 1 leg up, full, other leg up, full, 1 arm up, full, other arm up, full) then 30 crunches. Repeat all x 4 then finished with 3 mins skipping. Could have done more but cut it short as the baby was crying and I was on duty!

    Are you doing much cardio mate? I've been doing about 4 mins of low intensity every day for a while now and I've certainly noticed a difference.

    Do you mean 4 mins or 40 mins?

    I have been terrible with my cardio mate, piss poor. I really need to address it but as like most people I hate doing it as it is so monotonous.

    If 4 mins a day is making noticable difference... i should be fooking arnie by now

    Cardio for me needs to be a game, i need something to make me carry on. I find it hard to meet goals on the strength of "because i have to".

    I'll make it a challenge or give myself something for doing it - if i complete all my cardio for the week, i'll allow something tasty and forbidden as a treat - if i dont do it, slack or just dont make the goal - i dont have it.

    If you can be strict on that, your find out just how bad you want the evil little treats, and just how easy cardio really is - its the boredom and repatative nature that puts people of it.

    If you go and run outside as your cardio then knowing you are 3 miles from home and it's pissing down and freezing cold is usually enough motivation to make you crack on I find.

    when i was training for the marathon during the winter months it was a right task to get motivated but the best thing i used to do was get the missus to drop me off 10 miles away in the car no money or phone early sunday mornings gotta get your own ass back!!

Had a fair bit of manipulation and he told me to avoid any heavy lifting or gardening (???) for a few days. That said I intend to train arms Friday (tomorrow).
