Another diary thread o0o cool cool keep it up mate. ill post my views after your photo's up..though add a protein shake pre bedtime :)

Only you can make the change mate.. go do it

i would include some more cardio in that mate, prob 20-30 mins after each workout, that will help get your fat levels down

cheers guys ill had some more cardio at the end thanks pics will be on later today or tomorrow morning :)

hello Danny. you saying having your son put you of track scares the poop out of me as we had our 20 week scan today! were having a little girl. so happy. i little dissapointed she will never play 2nd row for england but i'll just have to settle for an olympic gold medealest swimmer!! ;)

''danny you let me down doode i only came online to nite to see if you put your pics up'' he says.

i know mate im sorry! my mrs aint to keen about me putting pics up on the net so ive got to be a bit stealthy about it, just gotta try and get her ou the house, or to bed early! im workin today so crnt get them on but think im gunna send her shopping tomoz so i get a chance to upload them..... but i think it might hurt my wallet. :D

lol she's worried bout what? you might get a female fan club of stalkers?? lol delete you face on photo editer if shes that worried.

If you save the photo's on photobucket there is a option to change the photo to a forum size so it makes it nice and easy..and ill comment on your photo's when im back from collage  ;)

y do you have man love tattoo'd on your back in hebrew? please dont tell me the doode in the shop told you it says something else?

i thought it said fried rice

no its hebrew. and it says roughly translated man love well 'mens love'

it aint hebrew.... its nepalese... i got it done over in nepal.

Danny,

While you do have fat to lose - its not like ur way off and will have trouble achieveing this! Saty positive and use this log as motivation to reach your goals. 2 suggestions I will make is have 50 grams of simple sugars post workout WITH your protein shake. Second do cardio twice daily, 1 pre breakfast, the other session after your workout - BEFORE your PWO shake. Do 35 mins per session, drink ATLEAST 4 litres water daily and thi should really help.

Diet still needs a lot of work though - some pointers for you:

More essential fats
More fibrous green veg
include protein and a small amout of complex carbe eash meal

Hope this helps

PJ

Thanks alot pj ill start doin more cardio and change my diet thanks for the pointers mate. ;D
