Day 4

Friday 3rd Feb 2012, 9:48 PM

Back at my parents house for the weekend, and managed to us their scales. I weigh 9 Stone, 2 lbs, which is a loss of 4 lbs. Not convinced of this, but then again I have been drinking water like crazy, so maybe its 'water weight' that I have lost. Rest assured I have eaten enough of my parents cooking to replace that loss by tomorrow morning :/

Didn't manage to do the work out DVD today as had lectures in the morning and then was travelling this afternoon. I also managed to leave my DVD in my room at uni, which of course is of little benefit there! However, was running late for my train and had to walk the 2 miles as fast as physically possible, even running most of it (whilst being weighed down with bags of laundry and books etc.) so I was an unflattering sweaty heap by the time I jumped on my train. This did make me feel good, because I really pushed myself, and man did I feel the burn! My legs are so sore tonight, and don't want to cause myself an injury so will take it easy :)

Had some poached chicken for lunch earlier, and for dinner had a jacket potato, spaghetti and two fish fingers. Not the best of dinners in the calorie sense, but this is a luxury meal compared to what I've been eating this last week. Also had two packets of crisps and few naughty biscuits today, so will be going to bed feeling extremely guilty tonight!

As promised here are some killer workout techniques you can do from the comfort of your own home, without having to step foot near a gym. And trust me when I say killer, thought my limbs were going to fall off!

This is called the 'Fire Hydrant' perfect for toning up the hip and thigh area

Sit up's (for women) However I'm sure suitable for men also

Push up's (a simple explanation on how to do them properly!)

I tend to do 30 of the Fire hydrant technique on both sides, 50 sit ups and 50 push ups a day. You can add additional squats and lunges if your legs need toning up too. But I need to remember that this is all pointless unless I've done some decent cardio to burn some fat!
