Vanilla Muffin Top
So far so good! In all honesty the nagging rebel voice and craving for the negatives of Easter eggs, red vino or one cigarette during the Easter holiday, hasn't been too bad. *Touches head* while saying "touch wood!"
Plenty of green tea and back to a very good balanced diet. No skipping meals or living day after day on veggie homemade soups alone. I think knowing I don't want to let a group of strangers down during this Sahara charity trek helps, added by looking at the 'muffin top' photo above, both are key motivators during the preparation period. If I don't see a positive change by the trek, or indeed after, I'm having abs tattooed to my torso.
Another plus is, at long last I'm starting to enjoy the gym again, instead of that feeling of dread due to getting out of shape and recognising my stamina is the pits. Bad back/hips problems had set me back, further added with working until stupid oclock after normal working hours used as a further excuse, not to face the fact that the level of fitness I had during my Wing Chun Kung Fu days has been long lost :o$
Three days of breaking up cardio work into 3 sections, with intervals between cardio for weights, abs and alerntative days of leg and arm toning and strenghting. Cardio is also not too bad when I break it up and use a variety, rather than the old method and attitude of 30mins on the treadmill, to get that boring horrible section out the way first.
I've posted a picture of my mid section....to encourage the training. I can see the areas that need toning and strength everytime I view it and reflect how it was when fit and positive.
