Morattigirl's Metal

[morattigirl]

Hi people's, about time I got my A into G and started a journal mainly just so I can keep a track of what im doing, so here goes...

I've been back at the gym just over a year now after having a massive break - kids & i guess just life in general...

I've never trained by any programme as such, have always done alot of the classes and every now & then would train on the floor but just do whatever i felt like. This Powerlifting Day coming up is the first time i've actually trained for something and it's pretty awesome.

Hmmm diet... :oops: I have no diet. I pretty much eat whatever I want & just whenever I'm hungary but am normally pretty good. If anything I would say I don't eat enough! I don't measure out food or know how many calories I should be having everyday as I've never really worried about it. Feel free to comment, critique, etc

So stats at mo are:

52kg

5"1 and half

BF 22%

First pic taken in Jan 2010, next lot Aug 2010
