Weight – how many times a day do you talk about it?
I lost 3lb last week And I gained it all back again. Was it fat? No, its water. I do weigh myself every week now, as I semi track most of my food, I need to ensure I’m on the right track with building muscle and not gaining too much fat. I check in the […]

Tamsin’s Journey Back From Hospital
Tamsin’s Journey I’m 36, mother of 3 and work full time. I’ve been a regular in the gym for the last couple of years, working hard with a trainer. I managed to keep a relatively good healthy size 12 shape. I also mainly ate “clean”; I avoided wheat, dairy, processed foods, alcohol and sugar. I […]

Week 1 of Prep
So its 21 weeks now until the show. I’ll be honest, I feel like a dick. What am I doing? I don’t look like a bodybuilder. I look like a wannabe and I feel even worse. The guys who compete in the gym are massive, much bigger and fuller muscles than I have, then the […]
Big Things Next Year
Christmas Fat Gain – Who Cares? Merry Christmas all! Just wanted to give a quick post on a few things, the first being about nutrition around this time of year. It’s tough. There’s a shed load of temptation and tasty junk about that we all struggle to resist. The average man consumes 6000kcals on Christmas […]
