You're doing really well, don't be too hard on yourself! You're putting in the effort and your body does need rest time. Everything in moderation

Hayden*

I was still sick at the start of the week but I think my cold is nearly over!! Monday I didnt do any exercise cos I wasnt feeling well enough to. Tuesday went to the gym for an hour and yesterday did a spinning class and I am not sure what to do this evening!

Thigh: 21.8

I was hoping to see my measurements gone down a bit more because Im going abroad next week for a few days and I have a few days off coming up aswell so gym routine will be hard to keep up with! But Il'l try eat extra healthy!!

Hayden*

I didnt post my measurements from last wk but i did take them i was in France so couldnt log on. Since coming back I didnt do any classes but I got a new workout made out in my gym to follow and I went to the gym Mon, Tues and lastnight I started my weights which i found kinda hard!! Arms were shaky afterwards. I have 6 machines to do 15x3 reps and then floor exercises after 15 mins on rower and 15 mins on crosstrainer. I could only repeat by 2!!

Last wks measurements: This Wks:

Calf:13.8 13.2
Knee:15.2 15
Thigh:21 20.12
Hips:34 33.12
Waist:32 31.12
Arm:10.8 10.8
Wrist:5.4 5.4
Neck:11.3 11.6

Glad to see my trip abroad didnt do too much harm but with bank hol coming up and then halloween routine will be out the window a bit!! and alot of drinking done but Ill try make right choices and not over do it!!

I have signed up to a 6 wk challenge inthe gym also. Must burn so many calories by the end of the 6 wks and every class or gym work done must be monitored by the staff so at least it means ill be doing my work correctly and keep track of diet better!

Hayden*

I only had a chance to go to the gym once this wk due to bank hol and being busy! I did 30 mins spinning class and did my weights programme afterwards. I did 15 reps x 3 of the shoulder press, chest press, leg curl, leg extension, bicep curl, tricep & ab machine. Then onto floor exercises 3 x 15 of sit ups, plank for 30 secs, back exercise, press ups, and then stretches.

Measurements this wk aren't acurate due to time of the month,

Calf:13.8
Knee:14.12
Thigh:20.8
Hips:34
Waist:31.8
Neck:11.4

Can i give some advice???

Just something i would personally do, i wouldnt take measurements as often as that....

Maybe every month.... i just think you will be motivated by the good results if you wait a bit longer in between measurements (im not saying your not motivated!!!)

But keep up the good work!!!!!

Hayden*

I know my measurements arent going down a lot everyweek but still they're not going up either so doing it every Wednesday keeps me on track because its on the back of my mind

Hayden*

I started to get sick of going to the gym so for the last two weeks ive been going for long walks and doing 1 hour long spinning class which is really good and hard all high resistance and then last night i couldnt go to gym cos i couldnt motivate myself went ice skating instead

Hopefully next week ill put in a bit of an effort before the hols!

So its been a year since I started taking my measurements and this is the difference:

was: now:

Calf: 14.1 13.4
Knee: 16 14.11
Thigh: 22.5 20.14
Hips: 37.15 33.4
Waist: 35.14 29
Arm: 11.2 10.4
Neck: 11.3

So its good to see that I have made some bit of difference any ways and that I have gone down not up which was what I was starting to do and my reason for setting up logs.

Iv'e started to get bored with what I was doing in the gym so started looking around for different types of exercise again and i found pole dancing lessons starting well it will be fun and different and is supposed to be very good for toning so il'l see how that goes!!

Over than that the last few weeks I have been just doing hip hop dancing and spinning and kick boxing. And in the evenings i do a bit of my boxing bag bout 5 min - 10 mins i find it really helps to tone up my arms!
