Mmmm...... so given its the 26th and I am yet to post it brings into question the credibility of this blog. Truth be told I bottled it..... Pictures were not taken, scales were not stood on....blogs were not published.... However the gym has been hit hard and Miss Biel is stuck above my cooker in a bid to motivate me to put down the kitkat and pick up the green beans in a "Do you think Jessica would eat that?!?!?" kinda way....
I suddenly got this fear that by putting it out to the world I was setting myself up for a massive fail so I abandoned the blog and said no more of it to anyone. But sod it, I'm going to give this blogging malarkey a try, even if to just tick one thing off the bucket list and make me feel cool and down with the kids. And if someone enjoys reading my attempts then all the better.
My workouts have been dominated by weight training and I have considerably cut down on my cardio which previously was around 70% of my time spent in the gym. Gaining weight didn't bother me as much as losing tone, that was the real killer! I'm proud of my guns and would rather be the owner of a large tight ass you can bounce a pound coin off than a skinny minnie :-)
So, enough of the emotional blabble...
I have split my workouts over three days
Day 1 - back and biceps
Day 2 - chest & triceps
Day 3 - legs making sure to hit all areas glut, quads, hammys & calves

Day 4 - rest
10 minute light cardio to get the heart pumping before lifting and 20 minutes HIIT (high intensity interval training for my mum) on the treadmill after my weights session, except on legs days. I've also been training with a personal trainer friend once a week to try and shock my workouts and learn something new. I'm prone to staying in a routine, but I know and read over and over again that the body needs a shock to develop.
Shoulders have been purposefully missed out as I have an old niggle that I really need to get seen too.

My diet has been bad! When I'm good I'm very good, but when I'm bad I take the piss! So I'll leave that for another day.
All in all I'm generally happy with the results so far but can do much better. Most importantly its got me back into the gym and back in "the zone" so to speak. If this was a school report I'd give myself a C+ ..... "Kelly has shown great improvement and a willingness to change, if Kelly can concentrate and not become distracted she will do well"
Pictures and weigh in tomorrow..... aaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggghhhhh!!!!!
