Thanks for the replies. Rose, you hit the nail on the head really in a lot of ways.

I have a good protein powder already - theres always a couple of tubs floating around in our pantry, its just a matter of actually using it again!!

Heres my plan for the next 6 weeks (which I need to be consistant with and not keep changing!!) -

I am able to get to the gym 3 nights a week now so I have decided to do a 3 day split of -

Day 1 - Shoulders, Chest, Triceps

Day 2 - Legs

Day 3 - Back, Biceps

I'm gonna cut down on cardio and add carbs that aren't just fruit into my workout days. I'm gonna make sure I have oats + whey for breakfast each day which should keep me full and not wanting to eat biscuits or chocolate for morning tea!!

I just need to plan ahead more. I'm great at having my daughter organised and ready for each day, I just have to apply the same time to myself!!

Yep its hard enough organising yourself let alone more little people but you'll get into a nice little routine.

Monday 30th March

m2 - Cottage Cheese / Apple

m3 - Chicken / Almonds / Spinach Salad w Feta

Extras - 9 cups Green Tea / 6 sq 70% Dark Choc

Today was a non training day so didn't eat too many carbs, calories were still around the 1300 mark.

I am considering taking Creatine and L Glutamine. Should I take these everyday or only on my weight training days??

[startinfromscratch]

creatines vary, most crea monos (the basic form of creatine) require a loading phase(4 doses a day for 5-7days etc) but generally creatine you take everyday, to keep crea levels high in your body. look up some supp threads on here, the best time to take creatine is widely disputed so read the arguments and decide what you wanna do. Any creatine you buy should have dosing info on it anyway.

glutamine is predominantly for recovery, and again a disputed supp, but most who swear by it just dose regularly like creatine. just dont take at the same time as creatine, from what i understand if you do they have to 'fight' for digestive receptors or something....

hope this helps.
