No exercise today, i really do need a rest day. I think that run i did yesterday was a bit too far for that time in the morning on an empty stomach - not that i feel bad for it just a bit drained of energy today. As it was i have had a really busy day with work, tomorrow im not working till later in the afternoon so it gives me a good chance to do a weights session followed by some high intensity cardio.

The diet has been good today, heres how it went;

Breakfast - 2 slices wholegrain toast spread with olive oil spread, honey.
Snack - 1 scoop of protein and 1 nutri grain
Lunch - 1 wholemeal pita filled with green salad, tbsp salsa, 8 olives and tine of tuna
Dinner - Steak, baked potatoe, mixed veg
Snack - 300ml low fat natural yoghurt

Good Night Everyone!

Got up today at 6am and got straight out on the road for my morning run on an empty stomach. Felt good and decided to go a bit of a longer route, the run lasted 60 minutes and i ran about 6.8 miles, when i got home i was knackered but at the same time felt great.

The run took more out of me than expected but im sure i will be ok for my exercise tomorrow. The diet has been strong again, im glad ive got more fruit in it again.

Todays Diet;
Breakfast - 1 wholemeal bagel split and toasted spread with light philadelphia and 2 slices of trueky. 1 scoop of protein and 1 scoop of creatine
Lunch - 1 wholemeal pita bread, filled with 1/2 can tuna, 8 pitted olives, green salad. 1 peach
Snack - 1 scoop of protein & 1 apple
Snack - 400ml low fat natural yoghurt
Dinner - small can of beans, small baked potato and green salad

Good Night Everyone!

Ok, im back and doing resuming my blog again. This is thanks to Milly, at least i have one supporter out there - so thank you milly!

Been the best session i have had in years today my fitness is getting better and my injuries are starting to ease off (touch wood). Im going to Newcastle in 2 weeks and im seeing friends i havent seen in a long time so i would like to lose 1 stone by this time in 2 weeks. I have been running in the mornings and will be doing this most days until i go. I am planning on doing a 5.3 mile run early tomorrow morning, i must say it is bloody hard to get up but once you start running theres not many feelings in the world better than this!

My diet has been strong the last few days and it needs to be if im to achieve my mini 2 week goal.

Heres todays diet;
Breakfast - one wholemeal bagel split and toasted spread with extra light philadelphia and 2 slices of turkey breast.
Lunch - 2 wholemeal tortillas, filled with 2 chicken breast, 1 tbsp salsa and green salad
Snack - 1 scoop of protein with 300ml skimmed milk. 1 nutri grain and 1 apple.
Late Snack - 1 scoop of protein made with water.

Im writting this early tonight as im watching the football around my friends house.

Good Night Everyone, thanks Milly.

I have become so busy with work lately that i simply have no time currently to update my blog. I have been exercising as usual, last week was a vintage few days. My motivation to do this blog has drained, when i first started doing it i had hoped that people would ask me questions and generally get involved - but that has not happened (i guess im just too boring)and i feel myself writting to nobody but myself and in that case this blog is wasting my time. Im going to have a little break from it and see how i feel.

If anyone does want to ask me any questions or would like me to continue please message me and i will do.

I woke with good intentions this morning, 4 hours later i was buying a new car! I didnt plan to buy the car it just happened and as a result it took away all my training time. The diet today has been ok, if anything i have not eaten enough. I dont think im drinking enough water leading to me being really tired, along with the hayfever its really compounding the problem.

Todays Diet;
Breakfast - 3 slices of wholegrain toast spread with honey and margarine.
Lunch - 2 wholegrain baps filled with 2 slices low fat cheese and 1 slice of ham
Dinner - 2 wholegrain baps filled with 2 slices low fat cheese and 1 slice of ham
Late Snack - 1 scoop of protein

Not a vintage day but not a disaster. Like i mentioned, i was up and out looking at cars all morning then have been working till 9pm, training time was not realistic for me today.

But well chuffed with the car so it was worth it!!!

A very good day on the diet front but no exercise. I have been working from 6am this morning and the only time i had to go to the gym was 8pm - i was (am) just too tired tonight, been a long day!

Breakfast - 2 shredded wheat 200ml skimmed milk and 2 tbsp dried fruit
Snack - 1 scoop of protein and mixed fruit portion
Lunch - Salmon & Dill sandwich (tesco healthy eating) and pack of rye vita minis

Dinner - 1 steak, green salad, 1/4 tin chopped tomatoes
Snack - 1 scoop protein

Good Night Everyone!

Day 255 was pants, i struggled with the day after the night before!

Day 256

Good Night Everyone

The last few days have caught up with me, im not getting to bed early enough and its really screwing me up. The food in my cupboards is running low and im off out tonight to watch Darts!

I havent trained today and im not going to train on Tuesday. O wednesday i am planning on nailing a very strong 12 weeks, so i will be enjoying some down time in the next few days.

Lunch - Chicken fajhita wraps

Please do not follow this day, it was a bad one, but i have to be honest!

Have been working long hours the last 2 days thus the late blog. Friday was ok and i managed to get in the gym to do my total body session which i am really enjoying. I am thinking i may be able to run next week, the groin is sore but if i take it light it should be ok.

Todays Diet;
Breakfast - 1 Nutri Grain & 1 scoop of protein
Lunch - Breakfast sandwich (tesco)
Snack - 1 scoop of protein
Dinner - *Cheat Meal* Bag of kettle chips whilst watching the legend that is Ricky HATTON!!!
Late Meal - 1 scoop of protein

The last two days have been ok, my mood is ok and i feel that my body is coming along, a bit slower than i envisaged but improving nonetheless. When i started this mission i didnt realise it would be as hard as it has been!

Well done tonight Ricky! Your a true Champ!

Have had a lazy day today, i should have done cardio but talked myself out of it due to my sore groin, but lets be fair i was just lazy and chose the lay in instead! Though my exercise was lazy my diet has been good.

Todays Diet:
Breakfast - 2 slices of wholemeal toast spread with light margarine and honey. 1 scoop of protein
Lunch - Roast beef sandwich (Tesco)
Snack - Chicken salad wrap (Tesco_
Dinner - 2 small chicken breasts and large green salad, 1 boiled egg and 4 cherry tomatoes
Snack - 1 scoop of protein

No carbs after 6 oclock, so my mission has been accomplished today, good job bar the lack of exercise.

Good Night Everyone
