Oh my god!!!! I just got my ass kicked by my personal trainer....
He's taken all my measurements, body fat etc and he's going to put a plan together for me...

I'm hurting already - god help me tomorrow!

We done weight machines, lunges, kettlebells, free weights - then some interval training on the bike.. So hardly any cardio - which is good for a VLCD.

He is also going to put a meal plan together for me - including slim and save products but he thinks I should have more calories but will just add extra chicken, broccoli etc and spread through out the day - so he'll tell me what time to eat each thing.

I love him already

Just had the cottage pie over steam veg - surprisingly nice

Felt like a proper meal!

You're doing great! Personal trainer sounds ace too. Hope you aren't coming down with something nothing worse than being ill and dieting!

I could kick my self - I just gave into temptation and had a cookie in work

I'm not dwelling on it or making it an excuse to have something else... I will have my cottage pie when I get home and drink loads of water in the meantime - just felt like I needed to log on and confess!
