Changing Times Ahead

I got told this week that I'm back on a 5 day week, I think it was all a big con as the orders never really dropped off and I think it was so they could move the machinery around at work, we'll see! On Friday evening I was at the gym working with Steve and he was asking how I thought we had gone over the last 6 months, I told him how pleased I was with the way we had copletely tuned my body around. My goals were to lose weight, get fit and put muscle on, two of the them have been reached and muscle is getting there. He sais we should really be putting muscle on and less cardio work (which helped with my fitness) So I think we will be changing things around when I'm at the gym next (tomorrow) and start bodybuilding I guess. Whatever, I am really liking the results and feel great to watch this space!

Went to Orlando's Christnening today and it was nice to see the gathering of the family but was really crowded at Angie's. Everything seemed to go well too, which is always a good thing in my book!

A Quick Post

Just thought I'd put a little something on here! Went to gym tonight, had a good workout, Sunday night's workout was great and I can really see results now which are amazing for me. Training tomorrow night with Steve, but nothing else really exciting has happened. We are at Orlando's Christening on Sunday and it is an early start 9.30am then back to Angie's!

Spanner In The Works

I'm trying to be really positive with my outlook on things, gym and life in general. Today at work we have been told that we are going on a 4 day week again starting next week. We've been here before and I'm not worried but it has started all the gyms off at work and that's where I start to feel the mood change. I'll do what I normally do and go to the gym except I'll have to change what I do so that it doesn't interfer with the training wih Steve. I could change the times for the training but I can't guarentee that I will get the Friday off and I won't know till I get home on a Thursday day time.

On a good note, I saw all my abs tonight at the gym for the first time ever and it looked amazing and I want to see them again soon!

Training Going Great

Working out at the gym is going really well, Steve my PT tried me out on his football training workout called Insanity, well a mini version which was really tough and tiring but enjoyable at the same time. It also really pleases me as, 4 months ago I wouldn't have been able to even think about trying it. My shape is changing too and can see visible muscles at last! Here's a photo from today at the gym, well my legs anyhow in my Skins and Five Fingers!

Trying To Be Positive!

There seems to be so much I want to set and achieve this year, my fitness is right up there at the top which I am so surprised about. This time last year I never even thought about being fit but it is amazing how you change. The trouble with me is, I have it all set in my mind, but soon as I get home I just want to stay in, where it is warm and sit in front of the PC all night surfing and playing music. I need to start and get to the gym more regularly although I did get there yesterday (Sunday) and tomorrow is my training night with Steve. He made my night last Friday as he remarked how toned I was looking, I'm getting there!

I need to make changes to my diet too, stop eating so much bread. It is whoelwheat bread I'm eating but lots of it, from sarnies to toast, I even had home made fish cakes and they had breadcrumbs in them too! Also I need to look at my breakfast too, maybe trying to eat eggs, well maybe but I might have to boil them the night before otherwise I just might not have time for them!

Otherwise, I'm really chuffed with how things are going health wise, at this moment I weigh 76.6kg or 12st 2lbs. My fitness is really good although there's always room for improvement. My body shape is slowly changing and yes, there are muscles there too! Roll on summer, vests, tops and shorts, me thinks I'm gonna be posing this summer and why not!

Winter Blues

I can't wait for winter to go and spring to turn up. I tried to go for a ride out yesterday and I turned back home as the wind was so strong, it's bad enough whe you are riding into a head wind but when you are fighting with your bike too, that was enough for me so I turned around and dejectedly came home. I think that may be the only time I've done that!

My training is going well, Worked my chest on Friday and I'm there again tonight. Sometimes I don't feel like going but when I get there I do enjoy it and feel good afterwards. So when I feel like this I have put some photo's for inspiration on my ipod of guys working out and fit bodies, so that I can look and think about why I need to go to the gym, hope it works!

It seems the mouse invasion is over (I hope I'm not speaking too soon), I think I killed about 30 of them since November after the disgusting neighbours of mine moved out. The house was a real mess apparently and even the builder in there has told me of stories of the mice in the house eating through plaster. Vince has sealed the holes under the floor lading into the kitchen so hopefully that is sorted!

Another Update!

My back is aching a little, been a dull ache for a couple of days now. Had my training session with Steve, he stretched my back and it was perfect, not a twinge, nothing! I'm confused to what caused it, he hasn't got much idea either, but I try to explain it to him how it is but I sound like I'm crazy hehehehe! Here is a photo of me and him taken at the gym in November!
