Now, Phase Two and My New Goals...so I'm seeing losing the 8 1/2st as the first phase of my mission to become freaking awesome. I've got the initial bulk down. Now, Phase Two will be getting totally fit and toned. I want a flat stomach. I am desperate for a flat stomach. I have the remanents of my apron however, which I think will ultimately mean I will never reach this goal but hey, I can try, right?

I'm considering asking my doctor for a tummy tuck. He might say on your bike but it's worth at least asking. After all, I'm a 22 year old girl with the rest of my life ahead of me, I should not be walking around hampered by this unsightly droop. I'm gonna ask about the bingo wings and boobs while I'm at it! Hehe.

So yeah, anyways, Phase Two: become rock solid. Now, this is why I'm so concerned about what I'm eating and stuff. A is totally in to sports and sports nutrition and has about a million books on the subject but obviously he's not an expert on what vegan fitness freaks eat. He tries to give me advice, like eating more often and in small amounts...hence my habit of eating some little every few hours - I try and go with a main meal every four hours then a stack two hours in between...so 8.00 breakfast, 10.00 snack, 12.00 lunch, 14.00 snack, 17.00 snack (still at work, so meal is impractical but as you'll have seen I keep getting really hungry at 15.30), 20.00 dinner.

So I've posted the whole of what I've eaten since reintroducing food to a couple of fitness websites asking for advice. I'll just wait and see what they say I think.

My New Goals - now, here's the biggie. A and his stupid atheleticness has decided that he wants to do the three peaks challenge and asked if I wanted to do it to. Hell yeah, I said. I've finished the whole "not eating for 8 months" thing, I need a new challenge!! I'd be well up for the training etc. Building stamina, running up hills, walking for hours on end. If it gets me looking freaking hot I'm there. The only problem is, I am being realistic? I am REEEEEALLY gonna be able to climb three mountains in 24 hours? I'm willing to give it a bloody good shot and train etc but being frank, is it too much for me to take on? I don't have a clue. I don't wanna hamper A and be a cry baby. Obviously he's a lot fitter than me and will probably run up the mountains. You can only go as slow as your crappiest person though and I don't wanna be the crappiest one!

So yeah, three peaks challenge...possible new goal.

Bike riding! That's another. I want to start riding a bike. I think my mum used to use my dad's bike, so I want to see if I can get that out of the garage and maybe start pootling around instead of using my car. Go out in to the forest or something. Rock it. Apparently it's good exercise?

I'll have to think of some more but those two are my main plans at the moment.

Other things I wanted to say about The Real World (think of it as The Real World Rules):

I'll be weighing myself on a Tuesday morning from now on. Yesterday I was 10st 4.5lb 26% body fat.

Erm, trying to stay away from sugar, aspartame (google it, I'm sure you'll find sites claims it's satan himself), refined carbs (white bread, white pasta etc), caffeine...basically anything that's overly processed. Wanna keep it whole foods, baby!

Can't think of anything else now. Well, I best get on with my work now. It's already gone 9.00! Oops!

Anyway, if you have any advice, guidance etc lemme know. I need all the help I can get.
