Have you ever tried Jarrah's hot chocolates Laura? You can get sachets of the low-fat stuff (only 42 cals & 9g carbs per sachet). Add a tsp of coffee and it tastes (almost lol) like a cafe-made moccacino...

Tomorrow i need to work out a proper training split, 3 or 4 days on. Suggestions/.... also....

Tomorrow begins my 2 month cut!!

Im feeling so gross at the moment. What a change a week of freaking terrible eating makes.

No real goals apart from to be as close to 60kgs as possible and lose the lower body fat. Bring it on. Gym access = sorted although making the switch to morning training is gonna be a bitch haha.

[laurasaur]

just cos i can i will post up my plan here. im lazy. so lazy and so need motivation to reach my goals. i already know how good it feels to be a bit more trim and yet that alone is not enough... slack

consistently at 63.0kgs - get a haircut.. haha for most girls this is a regualar thing, for me its kind of an annual thing lol

consistently at 62.0kgs - american apparel order yay

consistently at 61.0kgs - vic secret order

consistently at 60.0kgs - go real life bikini shopping and buy whatever looks good. haha. im liking these goals!!

Ok thanks for the suggestion I will add a bent over one arm db row to wednesday

cable leg pulls... im not really sure what the proper name is for them.. u stick the cable velcro on your ankle and lift your leg out to the side. I dunno what they actually do but I like them..

[frogie2001]

It works the outer thigh and bum and hip flexors.

I call it the cable pulley thing too.

Day One of cut!

Well I hoped on the scales this morning and I was 67.0!! What the hell dammit haha. Just a few weeks ago I was 64. I guess this shows that you can't just eat chocolate fudge, pumpkin pie, fig tart, custart tart, caramel slice etc ALL DAY!! Haha. Why have I still not learnt this lesson. I have probably ingested over 10,000 calories in the last few days. Ohhh dear.

Anyway I RAN(!!) to work today for the first time ever. Sometimes I ride my bike but running was actually not too bad other than my backpack gave me chaffing and made me look like a dork lol.

Gym tomorrow morning early early I really need to get to bed and be sleeping by 10pm so I am going to aim to be in my room around 9.30 so I can read etc then sleepies. Haven't done an early morning workout in soo long.

Diet for today:

M1: Cottage cheese/Protein pancakes 250cal

M2: Protein bar

M3: Tuna (forgot my salad)

M4: Protein shake

M5: Chicken salad

Ride or run home undecided yet. I really loved running and if I can run home without my backpack I might do that. On a side note as I was running down this hill I could feel the fat on my upper thighs jiggling and it kind of felt burny.. all tingley.. and went really red haha. I like to think I can actually feel the fat like being dissapated.. wishfull thinking I know heheh. Have a good day everyone x

[biggurl27]

:pfft: you sound like me, all I've eaten for the past week is very similar. 3kgs isn't a lot, sometimes your body could be 64kgs am and 67kgs last at night so I wouldn't stress. Nice work on the run with a backpack :wink:

[soundsgood]

hmmmmm Id say your journals gonna get a few more hits with an avatar like that Laura! Checked out your body space, good job so far. That tan makes a big difference :pfft:

Have you thought about using an supplements to help you while cutting? Like Diuretics or thermogenics? Im in the middle of cutting at the moment and am using Animal Cuts. The fat is sliding off. Just an idea :grin:

lol. yes tan makes the most difference haha!! u can hide like 4kgs of fat with a dark tan I reckon I gotta take some pictures tonight, not looking forward to it because I have reaaaally let myself go recently. Sigh. Ah well at least they will make good progress piccies.

I haven't really thought about it because I always figured you needed to get your diet sorted first. But I am tempted, that stuff looks good although I need to research everything in it before I buy I am a bit of a geek like that...
