    Gonna have to be more organised when working nights, finding that I am eating rubbish if I dont bring in my own stuff. Off to the shops in the morning so... still trying to achieve the goal of getting doen to a size 33" waist by the 15/16th May. Another inch to go so still a long way off to achieving this, so better get the finger out and get organised. Feel more motivated already....

    Went for my assessment today, BF% is down to 31% from 32.9 (originally thought this was 32, as posted before but the chart today said it was 32.9 all right, so the gut of 2% of body fat lost in a month... Main losses inch wise has been arms and tummy... exactly what I was hopeing for... I tried to get the tummy down to 33", but only got it down to 33.50... Happy enough with this.. Got my new program and although I only did two reps of each, I have to say my arms are shaking, may take a bit of getting used to.. Takin the weekend off, sisters big birthday tomorrow, so will be out of action on Sunday....

    Sunday 24th May

    Have been good the last couple of days, went to the gym on Friday, and although I feel I'm putting in the work in the gym, I feel I need to track my food more carefully. I'm off to read all about what calories I should be getting on a daily basis, a deficit to drop the aul body fat. so off I go now... Ok gonna start putting down the amount of calories in everything I eat now. Apparently I need 1900 cal a day which includes 15% deficit.

    Snack before brekkie
    Banana 198
    Apple 78
    Handful of nuts 100

    Brekkie

    Total for the day 1826, pretty much bang on what I should be eating.... Made a big batch of soup this evening and a stirr fry for tomorrow, so food sorted. Was also thinking I wasnt getting enough veg into my diet, so hopefully the soup will boost this for me.....

    seated chest press was a bit ropey and so too was the Lateral pullback. Did a few planks on the vib plate and only managed 40 secs, 40 secs and then 30 secs. Find if I dont do these few weights/exercises for a couple of days I'm just not up to it the next time. I suppose lesson learned is to do them at least twice a week...
