hey guys hope your all doing good... i was thinking about changing my weigh in to fridays if thats ok with all of you.. yo dont have to just stick to monday if you want i dont mind... anyway for this weeks challenge im gonna share with you all what my trainer told me last week...

rule 1) you must drink 2-3 litres of water daily
rule 2) have a multi vitamin with a pint of water half an hour before breakfast
rule 3) you must eat EVERY 2-3 hours
rule 4)you MUST have Protein with every meal includong snacks
rule 5) you must have a non starchy carb with every meal ( Fruit or veg)
rule 6) if you are going to have a starchy carb try have it early in the day or straight after a work out.
rule 7) try stick to the 90% rule
THE 90% RULE IS:
if you are eating every 2-3 hours you will be eating approx 6 times a day..
this adds up to 42 times a week so the 90% rule means you can mess up 4 times that week.... he suggested that i save them 4 times up and use them in one day ...now ladies by messing up he doesnt mean going out and pigging out he means that if i want to have an extra potato or a bar of chocolate to have it just do it in moderation...

Hope this all makes sense ill post examples of my menu for you later...

    I'll give it my best shot, i don't have vitamins to take. (Can't really take tablets)

    How can i make sure i have protein with snacks???

    Fridays sound great.

    i have been having almonds with my snacks... dont worry to much about the vitamin i think he told me that cause i looked a bit run down... he also said to drink 4-5 cups of roberts green tea with lemon and euchinatia (if thats how its spelt) i got a box in tesco for 4 euro ... its a tough one this week but i think it will work... i lost this week from doing it and i was out on the piss all day saturday so i can only imagine what i would of lost...
