Today I trained Legs & Chest, and also, even though I wasn't wanting to, I took part in a Grit session as a colleague wanted me to for his qualification. I did this as I'd previously agreed to, but as my leg sessions are quite fatiguing I didn't have a lot of energy left for Grit but I did it with a smile anyway! It's Christmas soon so it's only going to help me in the long term. 

In the grand scheme of things, in the job I do I'm more than likely to be asked to do a workout than take part in eating cake brought in for someone's birthday. It kinda works out in my favor that way I guess. Although Cake is still a great thing to have in your life :) 

Today's diet was a normal Training day diet as always (this hasn't changed yet from the start as I'm still managing to see results from the original plan, so we aren't needing to change anything) 

7am Soaked oats, chia seeds and strawberries, dark chocolate, egg whites

9am Oats, whey, banana & jam <3 
9.30am Coffee

Trained Legs (squat focus) and Chest, plus cardio as always!

1pm Lean beef mince, baby potatoes, veg, greek yoghurt & fruit

4pm Chicken, sweet potato, veg

8pm Chicken, bown rice, butternut squash & veg

Today was a tiring day after a long weights workout and Grit. All in the name of progress. My goals don't lie in my comfort zone ;)
