I was meant to be bulking, fell off the wagon for a week, and lost 4lbs and a ****load of strength on my lifts. QQ.

Work harder! You'll make it! :biggrin:

Curls 12.5kg 3x7-10
Cable pull down (set 15) 4x7

Cable curls (set 15) 4x7

I'm getting quite fat now and am thinking of going on a long slow cut. if my aim is an athletic but defined body (like pants models) can I still get lean mass gain on a cut?

I'm meant to be cutting/maintaining but when my parents buy sweets and snacks and prepare carb rich meals....

...it does not help! Because I eat everything :frown:

Lacking discipline.

That's the reason I'm not moving back home for summer. Will visit for a week or so. But when I stay there I have little choice of food and my mum constantly nags about me eating more and buying me snacks and crap which just stalls my weight loss.

On c25k, try jogging slower? A lot of people make the mistake of going too fast. Or there's a "pre c25k" that you could do, which is 3 weeks i think and eases you into actual c25k

I think that could be my problem that I tried to go too fast in the beginning.. I will try again tomorrow with slow jogging instead and hopefully I will be able to get through it :smile:

There is? I will look for that tomorrow if I don't get through it again :smile:

Cool-down: 5 minute walk.

Week 2

Today's dinner; braised teriyaki potato, onion and mushrooms. With teriyaki drizzled green beans, mixed peppers and sweet corn. Of course accompanied with a bottle of ice cold water. Made enough for two portions, so will eat the rest later. But this serving was 168 calories, will have the other half in a couple of hours.

Also god dammit :frown:

forgot to add a sprinkle of spring onions on the top. I love spring onions.

1205 calories today and I'm still sticking to my healthy eating plan :smile:

I didn't get much exercise done today though as it was so hot and my internet isn't working properly meaning I couldn't do any YouTube exercise videos but I did walk for about half an hour and then I played Just Dance on Just Sweat mode for 35 minutes so at least I've done something :biggrin:

also jealous of your raisins, I LOVE raisins. But I don't buy them because I just eat them all in one go, cannot help myself when there are raisins around.
