Thanks Dad. My eating over the weekend was pretty good too! Not perfect, but not too shabby so I’m happy with that

@JustBcoz really well done on the Updates – proud of you! If you can keep that up most of the time you will really be doing well. Just don’t get down on yourself if you slip up now and again. Just get up and keep trying. Love Dad.

@Craig … peanut butter’s good! Sans jam though hehehe

Yeah, I’m still getting used to eating breakfast and sometimes I just can’t manage, so I go for a protein drink instead. At least that way, I can get something in my stomach without all the bother of preparation and chewing (saves time too.)

Ugh, breakfast sounds as tasty as a wooden plank – peanut butter and jam for the win I tell you!

Totally relating to you B!!!

But can I just say (in a totally non-scissoring way, of course), that I think you are beeeoootiful … tall and gorgeous

Mmk, that aside – because it actually doesn’t matter at all what other people tell you, if you’re miserable with your body, no amount of flattery from other sources is going to change that, hey?

So … what to do then? Well, at the end of the day, it’s all about creating a calorie deficit – calories in vs calories out. My biggest eye opener was keeping a food diary to see EXACTLY what I was eating. You’d be surprised to see how it all adds up. Remember, you have to create a calorie deficit of 3500cals per week to lose just 400gr of fat in those seven days! That’s quite a lot …

Body for Life will always have a special place in my heart – it literally changed my life a few years ago and taught me SO much about nutrition, training, supplements and energy systems (yes, I have all the theory hehehe). I would HIGHLY recommend it to everyone who has clearance from their doctor to start it. And if you’ve done it before, it may just be the ideal way for you to easily kickstart your metabolism again. You’ve probably reached a plateau and need to have a hard look at your diet and switch your exercise routine up.

Please B, if I can help at all, PLEASE let me know. If you want me to take a look at your eating plan or training schedule, just shout, mmk?
