6 pack revolution

[Texaco Shirley]

Caterpillars sounds familiar. I keep calling things by their Jillian name and only realise when MrTex is staring at me blankly

[Topcat]

You must be properly ripped and exhausted.

Also, how do you find the time to do anything else?!

[Texaco Shirley]

It was a good job I was made redundant tbh

[Topcat]

Its properly impressive, mind.

[ParisGal]

Isn't inchworm american for caterpillar any way?

[Disco]

No idea. Jillian Michaels - an american - calls them caterpillars though.

[ParisGal]

Aww I only know of her from you lot talking about her on here and had supposed she was a Brit

[Topcat]

She is not even human, let alone a Brit.

[lazzbo]

[Texaco Shirley]

She is not even human, let alone a Brit.

[H1ppychick]

I like this, because it implies Brit is a higher tier of human-ness

[Texaco Shirley]

Note to self: 50 tricep dips hurt.

[Disco]

My triceps are killing me from my sesh yesterday and at the time I couldn't even manage 15 of them

[Topcat]

I can 100% guarantee you that I wouldn't be able to do one.

[Disco]

I've had to take some wine to ease the DOMS in my triceps and upper body in general.

[Texaco Shirley]

Sadly instead of wine there are 70 press ups in my immediate future.

[Disco]

Are you planning to tackle that in one fell swoop?

What's today's menu?

[Texaco Shirley]

I’m doing a set of 20, then 10 followed by 40 reverse lunge to high knee. Repeat the press ups and then another 30 lunges.

Today’s menu:

Fake Eton mess (strawberries with Greek yoghurt and pistachios)
Cottage cheese and avocado with pomegranate seeds on rice cakes
Meal replacement smoothie
Falafel with baba ganoush
Chicken pesto salad
Something else - can’t remember off the top of my head

[Disco]

Such a lovely way to spend a Friday evening

That all sounds very nice. Are you still finding it hard going with the prep and clean up all the food entails?

[Texaco Shirley]

The daily exercise bit sounds a lot but at least doesn’t take long

We’ve sort of got the food under control now. MrTex is in charge of making snacks and I do meals. We both get 1 cheat. He makes double of the bedtime snack so it’s ready for the next morning too and we have one meal replacement smoothie. I think a lot of people are batch cooking at weekends but I’d hate eating the same thing every day.
