Are you undereating and/or overtraining? I read (I think it was in the book The New Rules of Lifting for Women but not 100% sure) that overtraining or not eating enough can sometimes cause sleepless nights.

So by workouts he means days, and they are grouped by the weeks? So workouts 1 and 2 is actually week 1 days 1 and 2? Workouts 3 and 4 is actually week 2 days 3 and 4 etc. That makes more sense now. Still slightly confused by the workouts. Squats for example has at least 4 different variations. Do you just do the first…

I used to be terrible when it came to cooking. One of the reasons was having to eat things several days in a row (then I discovered you can bulk freeze things and not die). The main one though is that I hate washing up with a passion. Having to wash up pots and pans after just really put me off the idea. Then I got a…

Have you considered getting a Jawbone Up instead? I was looking at getting either a Fitbit or a Jawbone. I narrowed it down to a Charge HR or an UP3 and went for a Jawbone UP3 in the end. I was mainly interested in the sleep function which is apparently better than the Fitbit version. A comparison review of the two is…

I've tried Day 1 of the 30 Day Shred. I like her, she don't take no *kitten*. There are modified versions of what she does if you struggle with the "proper" way. Only thing is that it does get boring after a few days, as you are basically watching the same video over and over again. Her videos are on YouTube, but the DVD…

I usually have spinach cooked, but raw I'm sure would be fine. I eat rocket raw (Mmm beef & rocket butties). I might do a meal plan this weekend where I substitute stuff then. I'm guessing it's not the end of the world if I don't follow the plan 100%, just so long as I avoid stuff on the NO list.

Yeah, the granola is the tropical fruits one. A 50g portion is about 224 calories. I was surprised about the banana though, that has been verified at 110 calories. Once the pack runs out I might try the muesli suggestion.

I'm thinking of joining a PiYo class at the gym. Is it something that you can join or will I be totally lost in the class?

I've set up a weight goal and it's allocated me only 1200 calories a day. I somehow pretty much manage to eat my way through all of that for breakfast! All I have is a cup of tea, some granola, natural yogurt, strawberries and a banana. By the time I've had a bite of my lunch it's game over. The only thing I don't seem to…
