It's been an interesting week. I've felt unbelievably strong all week,which I know is not the main purpose with the tbol but its been so noticable. The rest day on Wednesday was also good for me.
Did chest this morning and tried out the 40kg dumbbells after doing the normal sets and managed three reps. Then did my normal 4 sets of flat bench and then tried a 5th with an extra 10kg on the bar and managed two reps. There was nobody else around because I think with a spotter I might have done a couple more.
The diet is obviously working - some biggish veins are starting to pop up, mainly on my arms but also on my delts and quads. But boy oh boy, is this calorie reduction hard.I've managed to eat clean all week, even turning down a fresh cream scone on Wednesday that a colleague brought to work for her birthday.
Next week will be novel because the school holidays start and I will be getting up at 6.15 and getting to the gym by 7am. So, I'll have trained and done a couple of hours work before my lad wakes up and then the whole day is free. Sounds great but the loss of money will be a pain.
Last night I tried Nick's peanut butter concoction. I told myself not to be such a big girl and get it down, but Nick, if you read this, it was foul. I'll try it again tonight with the coconut. Then again I might treat myself with a bounty instead |
