Ive done it again. Ive managed to lose an inch or so. This is slightly blighted by the fact that I appear to have put on an inch round my hips, but weight shifts or something right? I haven't been to the gym yet today so haven't weighed myself. That will be edited in shortly.

I've pretty recently discovered the awesome website/magazine that is Mens Health. Now, I am fully aware that this website is aimed at blokes, but the womens equivalent just isn't as good in my opinion. Its so, well, girly! I want muscles, not massive body builder type muscles, but I want to be a bit more than just toned. I want my abs back. I want to see muscle definition. Like I say, I don't want to be some big muscly blokey looking type but I want more than just thin. 

Ive never been skinny, except when I was a kid, I was always athletic. Yeah I was thin, and I was fit, but no way could you have said I was skinny. I didn't want all my bones sticking out, that isn't pretty, Ive never wanted that.

So, now we have established what the body type is that I am after, we can get on with it. And I do say we, as you are supporting me and helping me to achieve what it is I want. And I want to thank you for that.

Anyone that reads this, that comments, that 'tweets' me or says something face to face, I want to thank you. Because you're all helping me along my little journey.

I will be going to the gym shortly, where I take my personalised workout and whack it up a few notches. Ive been running more, the PT said running isn't that good but the fast walking doesn't get my heart rate up like I want it to. And if I don't feel like the workout is helping me, then I wont put as much effort into it. Which sounds weird I know. Actually, its probably about time I get the PT to sort me a new one. I must remember to ask that. 

Enough of thinking out loud. I have a day away from the kids today and I have shitloads to do. First and foremost, the gym. 

Wish me a good workout kids!

(*edit - I added in my current weight too.)
