The break-up diet

Friday, October 29th, 2010

The breakup diet is always one of the quickest and most effective. When you break up with your significant other you undoubtedly go through different phases. The first will be shock, the second will be desperation, the third will be anger, the fourth will be disappointment, the fifth will be ignorance and the sixth will be realisation. Throughout these phases you will not be hungry. My friend has just broken up with her boyfriend and has lost three pounds in the past three days because she had a muller yogurt all day yesterday and a banana the day before and they had to be force fed to her. This is not fun though and you revert to comfort eating afterwards.

Totally fit.. totally insane

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

Has anyone ever seen Mel B’s Totally Fit DVD? I tried it out a while ago and it almost killed me, honestly I was lying on the floor of my living room crying because I am not totally fit.. apparently. This is the most hardcore workout DVD I have ever done because there is no mix-up of technique, it is seriously minutes and minutes working on the same area of your body. I can cope when you do an all over body workout, hitting different areas for a small amount of time and then moving on to the next, your aerobic ability still gets tested and you are able to carry on. With Mel I was crumpled up in a heap wondering why five minutes of sit-ups are not possible. It turns out everyone else I got to do the DVD felt the same and it went back on the shelf. Mel, you are a machine and I salute you, just don’t make me cry again!

Work hard at working out

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010

I was seeing this guy a few months ago who had a body to die for, seriously you could grate cheese on his abs and he had the best arms I have ever seen. He wasn’t muscley, but lean and built if you know what I mean. I just thought he was very lucky to have good genes as each time I saw him we went out, ate good food, drank quite a bit and had a merry old time. I was jealous of his ability to not do much (he said he went to the gym a couple of times a week and had a jog once a week) and still look like he’d stepped out of a magazine. It was only after about a month that I realised he was at the gym every day and lived on egg white and turkey omelettes with lemon water! What a life!

Don’t break your gym routine

Monday, October 18th, 2010

I’ve been out of the gym for two weeks whilst I was on holiday and went back yesterday to start my routing again. OH MY GOD it hurts to do exercise again after two weeks of being lazy and stuffing my face. I was advised to take some exercise whilst away however it didn’t happen and now my training is suffering! Next time I will be doing at least 50 sit ups a day and going for a run twice a week on holiday. I would strongly recommend that you also do something similar if you are not going to be able to keep a gym regime up for a significant period of time. Gym tonight!

Big portions

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

I’ve just come back from New York and am trying to adjust back to the sizes of portions in the UK. Seriously, I now know why the Americans are generally much more massive than us Brits. You’d think, with the nice weather they have that they would all be out all the time, getting exercise and drinking lots of water while we’re cowering indoors away from the harsh elements of the British environment stuffing our faces with chocolate and Chinese takeaways. But no, the poor guys don’t have a chance, they probably do get out loads but seeing as a portion of chips or onion rings in the US is the size of a three year old child, they have got no hope.
