Your diet looks really similar to mine :)

How are you finding the gap in between lunch and dinner? I always get a food rage so thinking of adding something else in

The weirdest thing is I dont get hungry between lunch and dinner....its weird...although I do drink tea with milk so that can supress it sometimes - but between brekkie and lunch it a different story! Alway at 11, 11.30 start to get hungry. I'd have protein shakes if I could afford to buy the bloody powder this week!

I drink heaps of tea as well, but when i'm at polytech i don't really fancy carrying round lots of tea bags and a bottle of milk :pfft:

Have you looked on bodybuilding.co.nz? they have really cheap protein powder and if you can manage to save up for a bulk lot it's super cheap

10mins high incline fast walk started at 15 (max) and worked down from there the 5 mins HIIT on a 4 incline 15secs 9kph, 45 secs 5.5kph....could manage any more as bad knee was making itself known!

Hey lady, you are doing so well!!! Have a cardio idea for you..

Start incline on 2..walk at speed 6.5ish for 2 minutes, then run 10.5ish for two minutes..(keep bumping the incline up every four minute set) after 15 minute start reversing the incline back down (after every 4 minute set) hope that makes sense...and before you know it your 30minute cardio is over and done with,

And not so much stress on the knee..real high incline can be tough, and you don't want to be put off :)

I hate getting off the thing and my legs are still running!!

What is the problem with your knee?

Had recurrent dislocation when I was younger, had keyhole on it but its still a bit off now and then - although its gotten heaps better over the last few years from me training it. I wear a strap when I'm doing leg work as it just makes me feel better! But the running thing is weird, its totally fine sometime (bear in mind we're talking 20-30secs a go HIIT, not long runs) only managed 3-4 cycles in HIIT yesterday and didnt even bother today as its feelign a bit sore. Bloody stupid thing!

ok so it doesn't track properly all the time... that does suck. I have some issues with my left knee now and so I have to wrap it so my knee tracks straight. Apparently strengthening the medialis helps it track straight...

Ohhhhhh which is the medialis???? Wow I only know about the ITB?? Should study Grey's :)

Totally got that wrong!!! I meant the VMO...which is the medialis, working it hard. Also for everyones amusement It became glaringly apparent why you need a spotter when doing bench presses........could've been very embarrassing but I managed to hide my f*ck-up before anyone noticed.....:)

trapped under the bar were we? Yep that is embarrassing... I have done that before with a considerable weight but I just tipped the damn thing off me... still haven't been back to that gym ha ha ha ha

Yup is was pretty funny......serves me right for getting cocky!!!

So todays workout was short and sweet :

3x 8 Med ball woodchops 4kg

3x 10 Dips assisted 30kg

3x 8 DB lat raise 6kg

3x 6 Pull-up assisted 35kg

3x 6 Cable bicep curl 30kg

3x 8 Tricep pull-down 30k

Trying to up the weight a little on some things and lower the reps.....didn't do any cardio and my mind is all over the show at the minute and could not concentrate and had 4 hours of tattooing to look forward to this arvo - ouch!!! Pics when finished. And its on my back and its not as lean as it should be so even more motivation!!!!

Weds workout (going backwards haha)

3x 10 squats 20kg bar

3x 8 deadlift 25kg

3x 20 leg extension 28kg 10 degrees

3x 8 Leg curls 20kg

3x 8 glute raise 35kg

3x 6 calf raises, 59kg, 65kg, 70kg

Then 20 mins cardio......cant seem to get my weights up on the leg extensions or curls if bugging the f*ck outta me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Need to get a proper cardio HIIT plan going...forgot the one that someone put on here the other day......

Wow havent posted in a while!! Gotta admit I've been boozing a bit lately AND going to the gym all the same, have to move house and tooooooo stressed out!! Wine and Beer is the only answer.....

Today:

3x 6 Bench 27.5kgs - yussss!!!!

3x 8 BB Bent over row 25kg

3x 8 Tricep extension 5kg

3x 21's DB 7kg

Nutirtion - average to be honest but noy gaining anything so once housing stress is sorted I'm back on the wagon!! And what the f*ck is it with landlords charging an arm and a leg for a place I wouldnt let my dog live in!!!???
