becbec's road to recovery

[becbec]

Congratulations on the promotion! :clap:

Well done on going to the gym even though you didn't feel like it, I do that and I end up having PBs and I'm always glad I went even though I have to drrraaaggggg my butt there sometimes!!

haha yeah, once i'm there it's always good but it just takes me motivation to walk in the doors!!

decided i'm gonna make the most of being well and stay home tonight so i can go to the gym tomorrow, \:D/

Great news all around - a promotion, and training in the face of an inconsiderate gym - great work :notworthy:

hehe thanks tfb

i've got this sudden surge of motivation.. i might even go twice tomorrow

Looking good with weights and getting there with ya food. How about doing your measurements weekly, it can be a better motivator than the stinky scales as you can see cm's coming off :grin:

[becbec]

so excited to be back into my weights :grin: :grin:

i'm waiting on some of that soy protein powder from sportstrition, hopefully it's not too foul!

was an exception with my anti-inflammatory diet, i love indian food! :pfft:

[teamfatboy]

Don'cha hate those pulsing lunges, they can be brutal :pale:

I'm with BG tho - use girths or skinfolds rather than weight, if you can.

[becbec]

i'm gonna get my body fat tested again in a week or two, i'm guessing it hasn't changed since last time i got it done :oops:

[biggurl27]

haha your dog looks like a pussy cat, looks more like a snuggler than a biter :grin:

[becbec]

haha your dog looks like a pussy cat, looks more like a snuggler than a biter :grin:

haha she's actually a psycho!

just really territorial and protective so she barks a lot at people who visit our house, poor courier man :pfft:

[biggurl27]

She probably just likes to attack Luigi and posties :pfft: Any hoo how was that quiche or are you having that for lunch today? Sounds like a good healthy lunch or dinner option

ah lunges, great exercise. I've decided I'm gonna do 1000 this legs day, anyone wanna join?

btw seems your getting your stuff together, well done girl. A piece of advice from someone with body weight issues; ditch the scales, they wont tell you anything useful. your much better doing wat bg suggested and looking at yourself in the mirror each morning. your weight may not change but as you put in the work your body composition will and this will be visible in the mirror

[runveerun]

Yes scales lie! They are evil!! :twisted: Measurements and seeing how your clothes fit is better.

[becbec]

She probably just likes to attack Luigi and posties :pfft: Any hoo how was that quiche or are you having that for lunch today? Sounds like a good healthy lunch or dinner option

i think i needa add something else to the quiche cause it tastes like arse, might ditch the cottage cheese as i've never been a fan. haha we can't keep my dog at the front door anymore, we keep her in her massive as run that we built for her, it's awesome as!

hehe yeah, i might do that. gonna take measurements on thursday night :shock:

[becbec]

day off from the gym today, decided i'm not doing myself too much good if my muscles still hurt loads, will do a quick 10 min ab workout tonight though. It's such satisfaction to have sore muscles and not sore joints!!

m1: 1/2 serve sculpt, coffee

m2: handfull of raisins, coffee

m3: small piece of gluten free citrus slice (boss wanted me to try it... well rather she asked who wanted the broken bit and i said i'd have it :oops: ) and coffee

m4: 2xpeanut butter on lite bread (rice thingies)

m5: yoghurt

m6: small piece of steak, 1 cup veges

[jesses]

fair nuff. i would say a bit more protein would in your diet would help, dont know how it works in with your joint stuff but meat with every meal is great for bumping up your protein. and of course that will help with muscle recovery
