Well....what can I say here, apart from that I have been crap for the last two weeks and only been to the gym once. I feel disappointed in my efforts, and I only have myself to blame!

However, I have realised that a 12 week stint is not for me: I need to break it down, and have a planned in rest break, I think. In future, I will plan this in to my training to manage everyone's expectations, and then not look like I am being the crap-ass that I am!

After consideration with the guys on here, I think my next move will be to go on a bit of a cut (probs for 5/6 weeks) and slim down my belly by being strict on myself , and junking the crap (shock therapy is probs the only way I am going to cut the junk, so I will have to do it!) as I don't want to be victim of the late 20s spread, and get a belly growing.... *shudders at the thought*

I am going to need so much willpower in myself though to be able to do it, as I am partial to the cakes anc chocs - not helped by the folks' apparently relentless attitude to buying in this kind of stuff.

What I will need tho is a bit of help/direction in making sure I am eating the good stuff, and that it is healthy and nutritious and not just a simple cut back of stuff. But, I don't really want to be a slave to calorie counting either.
