Well I sought some information... so looking to change of tactic! With some help and guidance I am looking to focus on strength training and cut down on the cardio. Not going to worry to much on diet, by all means keep it tight, and legs go for it.
Have a set of suppliments that am going to try, hopefully manage a bit more sleep :) and will hopefully update

Consistancy
Argh!
The last few weeks have been hard. I fell off the wagon sadly due to a bad week. However!! There is help and in form of the wonderful husband and his continued motivation and belief in me it's back on the wagon!
Last few days have been good both weight, eating and cardio wise. At no stage have I stopped working out which is important, think I was just getting despondent.
Still onwards and upwards. I have recently stuck up a picture of my hero Oksana Grishina next to my desk for inspiration :)
No pain no gain hey! so keep working it

My confession
Ok! I will have to put my hands up and admit to being a pig!
Yesterday I ate a complete BOX! yes you read that correctly BOX of biscuits, they were South African ones called Zoo biscuits and I originally bought them for my son but ended up eating them after a terrible morning at work.
I really need to beat the monster that causes that, every time I get a bit on the sad side the food comes out. The last couple of months have not been easy with work, exams and death in the family. I just wish I didn't revert to food all the time!
Still on the positive side! I have purchased a turbo trainer for my road bike and have successfully completed a couple of sessions on that. So this week already, I have trained Chest and Tri's (Which are still sore) and a bike session, tonight I am hoping to do a session of H.I.T tonight with a view to do long distance run on the weekend :) Lets see how we go all in all I am hoping for a max of 6 sessions training... aiming for the below 60 drop but hoping yesterdays upset will not ruine my quest.
If it's not sore... you didn't work hard enough!

not going to well!
So last week wasn't too bad but as the week went on it wasn't too good! I only had 2 sessions last week APPAULING! The diet was good then it gor to Friday and it all went out the window.
Think with Stress with work and everything else going on around, it affects things. I seriously need to get back on it. Today is hard after having a lax weekened almost feels like detox because I am reducing my carbs and calories. Then I am off to the gym tonight for an extra week session!
Bike trainer should come this week! cross fingers! and then I can get 2 sessions of cardio in a week in the morning, think that will help a lot as well :)

Still going!
yesturday was a good day with more chicken and rice! and a 50 minute cardio session
however today hasn't been that good but then again it is not TOO bad because I am back down the gym tonight with a back and bicepts workout!!

Ok! Chicken & Rice + some other stuff....
Day 1 of chicken and rice was partly successfully, however I am not body building so I have had to put in some variants to keep going.
Breakfast was porridge, however I am sure this will turn to something else as soon as I get some meal plans together, maybe put in a couple of egg whites in there.
Snack was PhD Whey loss shake with 2 scoops in water,
Lunch you guessed it chicken and rice! and it was bland. Chose to use basmati, 1 because that is all we had and 2 because it is lower in Gi.
Snack 1 scoop PhD in water
Dinner, Chicken in a lovely lentil veg soup, which was really nice (Thank you Joss!!)
Work out:
Chest
3 x 15 Reps Bench Press 10kg
3 x 15 Reps Incline 3kg (don't laugh!)
3 x 15 Reps Decline 5kg
Triceps
3 x 10 reps Bench dips
3 x 30 push downs
no real cardio but I work in London and did a lot of walking yesterday. Weigh in on Sunday so see if any progress following this week and my appalling weigh in previous Sunday of 62.7kg!!!!
Day 2... lets see how well we get on... :)
On a bit of a downer think because of the reduction of food... oh yes and on my second cup of green tea mmmm, however I would recommend tea pigs http://www.teapigs.co.uk/
for green tea, think I will order some day as it is pay day!! my fav being the Jasmin pearls http://www.teapigs.co.uk/product/tea/Green-tea/jasmine+pearls
Feeling good though, aside from being a bit down!
