He is actually a brilliant trainer, we just didn't see eye to eye about the water thing.

I can probably drink 12 cups a day without too much trouble, 16 cups if I pushed myself, and 18 seems impossible.

Look! It's a picture of me :-O

If you need an hour of non peeing, how far out should you stop drinking?

Not what I'm asking at all, but thanks.

I think one of the problems with providing your sources is, you don't always know where you got your information from. I have done a lot of reading on thousands of topics and have lots of snippets of information about a million things. I can feel like it is right, but not know the original source or place I found it. Is…

Actually, I'm a lady, but thanks

That was supposed to say ''I know you can lose weight from your face'' not chin.

I thought ice cream was going to be much worse for me than it is. I can have a nice sized portion for about 150 calories. I haven't gorged on it since I was a kid. Since I haven't eaten it that often since I was a teenager, I am happy with 2-3 tablespoons.

A punnet is a clear plastic container that has a flap that opens at the middle (I think)

Well.... we haven't actually started yet. I only mentioned I wanted to do this today. We only talked about it for a few minutes. I don't know what he has planned. We meet 4 times a week for 1/2 hour. I figured I had time to do something outside of that time.

Lol, clever!

:-O

Do you live with them? how often do they cook for you?

Wow, thats quite fast. My goal is to run 10km by the end of next year. Do they tell you who can get to 10kms in 14 weeks? because I am still somewhat obese.

I should mention, my trainer is going to help me with the 10k. I'm just wondering what kind of stuff I can do outside our sessions, besides running that will help me be a better runner.

He gave me a basic layout of how to set up my food diary, he didn't actually say what foods to eat. This isn't how I'm supposed to eat, I cheated a few times today and kind of had 2 breakfasts (meal 2 was supposed to be a snack), and I should have skipped the chicken roll and lolly cake later on. I went to the movies, and…

As someone with the tendancy to do that, I don't like your idea, because sometimes you read the information or heard it a few years ago, or from someone else so you don't know the original source. You just feel it in your gut.

I'm not sure if I'm meant to have 3 snacks every day. It probably doesn't matter... if I'm not hungry, I won't eat it.

@aggelikik @TavistockToad Well, I'm trying a new food approach with my personal trainer. Theres a way of eating that he recommends, which is 3 meals a day and 3 snacks. You eat sensible portions and every three hours. You eat a fruit/vege with every snack/meal and a protein or 2. You eat half a serve of carbs on non…
