    Oooh morning! Off to work in a mo, was at dentist earlier.

    Feb. goals are to lose 4lbs or so and start a new programme in the gym, an intense squat programme to catch up and some interesting accessory lifts. I do not feel that full of enthusiasm, but needs must if I am to even contemplate competing this year (powerlifting). I am also going to split my cals so I eat more on training/more active days (2500) and less on rest days(1600)...on Mondays when I do more cycling I might eat 2000-2250...so the weekly total will be similar to eating constant 2250ish every day. Will try it for a couple of weeks and see if it makes any difference to anything.

    I think the only thing you'll find different doing it that way is that you might expereience larger fluctuations day-to-day, I have had both a fixed intake and a weekly average and that's the only difference I noticed aside from the benefit of not being starving on my very active days.

    No wine make me sad too. It just for now. Drinking wine leads to bad food choice and over indulging.

    Closer than we were yesterday anyway :lol:

    Ooooh what are your NSVs? Sharesies!

    I got nothing at the moment, I have the monthly bloat, I guess there is the positive monthly confirmation that I have not undergone the immaculate conception and I made a delicious Beetroot Hummus that I have for my morning snack today.

    ooh beetroot hummus!! wonderful! :) what are you dipping into it? (I do tend to eat 'normal' hummus with a spoon lol)

    I was asked for swimming technique tips
    I was told I zoomed in swimming when pushing someone along with kick only
    I was asked if I was going to stop losing now - lol, no. But nice to hear.
    I did 2 lengths with 2 bricks - so only using legs underwater. Am getting close to being able to do 50m underwater too - so frickin frackin close lol

    And scale victory of finally breaking to 177 and hitting 50 lost :D waiting for that since Nov.

    Can't believe the number of people who have synched TOM wise over wifi - mental! :D:D

    When I had my brace I used to just eat sandwiches and wraps with a knife and fork.

    I'll have some Halloumi as well, and a bit of salad on the side, here is yesterdays sans hummus.

    my food never looks that tasty! haha. I generally do meat, carrots, peas and if I can be bothered there may be some dipping sauce for meat out of a bottle or maybe some gravy.
