I'm back after a bit of a break, looking for some new friends to keep me honest

Why milk of course? Special k and bran flakes (and most cereal for that matter) tastes great with fruit juice, I like to get a few cans of fruit, grapefruit, pineapple, manderin and peach slices work great empty into a Tupperware and top up the juice with some extra orange juice and poor a the juice over my cereal and add…

Feel free to add me!

OK well its not bacon but a much healthier option is to dry fry a slice of nice ham, its not quite as good as bacon but better than that turkey bacon rubish and definitely acceptable. Here in the UK Morrison's sell a nume own brand that is pretty good compared to most bacons, practically no fat at all and still tasty even…

Wholewheat banana pancakes with a little honey and fresh fruit Or Low fat sausage, low fat bacon, half fat mature cheese, dry fried egg in a wholemeal English muffin touch of tomato sauce x 2 for me but i guess 1 would be ok if you want less calories, had to make do with 1 today myself as i had a visitor to share with,…

I don't remember where I read it so I can't point you there but I do remember it being a reliable source I would be happy to quote in a paper. I spent ages looking around at this very sort of thing and came across a study that had results that suggested between 30 and 60 minutes of intense exersize a day was optimal…

I use a mix of maize meal, white and wholemeal flours to make the crust a simple tin of chopped tomatoes a little basil and a splash of balsamic vinegar reduced down for the sauce topped with half fat mature cheddar and grated mozzarella ball which is pretty low fat too, you can add all sorts of proteins and veg too. you…

I've just finished week 6 of insanity the calculation in the nutrition guide put me at 2550 a day and using the one on the Beachbody website put me at 2600 I found I had to up this to 2650-2700 due to hunger and I'm still loosing about 2lb a week which has been consistant .

Wow......what more could be said to someone so beautiful :o)

Just use unflavoured whey protein it tastes great mixed with water or milk and can be added when cooking too I sometimes add it to my bread, waffles, flapjacks, porridge and it nicely thickens up cooking sauces too. The best prices I've found are bulkpowders.co.uk or myprotien.com both are the same price and I suspect the…

The thing with insanity and other home exercise plans is you get out what you put in, the challenge is to push yourself as hard as you can, first work on form making sure you do every exercise completely correctly those little shortcuts that let you do more faster stop the correct muscles being worked properly. Once you…

Its a breakdown of where your calories are coming from carbs/proteins/fats You can adjust the proportions of each on here by going into the goals tab and changing the % of each in your diary which would be an idea as the preset setting on here is far to low in protein for someone doing insanity. It also depends on your…

Lol my cat hides behind the curtain peeking her head round with a look that can be nothing other than WTF!!! Sounds like you are putting in some serious training what sort of calorie intake do you aim for, are you keeping check of your macros at all? I have a fairly active job and worked out my intake needs to be ~ 3100…

I have to agree Shaun t is a great trainer, my son also likes watching me being beasted by him on a daily basis, I ordered Shaun t's fit kids club but it came snapped so still don't know if its any good waiting for a replacement, but before its even arrived its had a positive affect on his attitude to exercise and he can't…

The best way to think of it is that your body burns energy to produce heat if an outside influence cools it, be it a cold drink cold shower or generally colder weather in the winter more fuel will be needed to maintain your body temperature so cold things will increase metabolism :o)

4lbs is awesome, be proud :o)

I'm on day 14, rest day today. !! Feel free to add me we can encourage each other through it. Think i'm addicted to the workouts already :o)

Was in the army for many years if you really are twig like than do think about a high protein diet and strength training before you go, but you don't see many huge guys in the army as its all round fitness and performance that matters and too much bulk will hinder you. Get out and do some running to prepare yourself, if…

I'm from the UK happy to be friends with anyone for help, support, motivation or whatever happy with people seeing my diary it will give ,e more reason to try and keep it looking good :o)
