Ouch my head hurts

Recently i've been told so many things to do with nutrition my head truly hurts. Everything i'm being told contradicts what someone else has said. I just started reading this lean gains thing that my uncle has done and he got amazing results from it but my god it was so confusing i'm not sure i even make sense of it...

So here are some of the contradictions i've been told lately

Eat every three hours to keep your metabolism up, no you don't need to eat that often, don't eat carbs, you have to eat carbs, you shouldn't eat carbs after breakfast, drink protein shakes, protein shakes are bad for you, eat lots of fruit and veg, fruit is bad for you it makes you store fat...

OMG THE LIST GOES ON!! and my head really hurts!

but the thing is all these people are on different diets and while they are just sharing what has worked for them you don't have to listen to everone because what works for one person might not work for another. Find something that works for you. I like to take bits and pieces that i find that work for me and create my own diet plans, i love experimenting with food and i don't like cutting things out all together. I may not eat cake and chocolate every day but if i want it i will eat it, i don't deprive myself I have just learnt to eat in moderation! 

So I don't know what the truth is about this whole nutrition business but here are some things that work for me

It's all about trial and error, finding what fuels you to workout but cuts you enough to see a difference, you don't want to Undo all of your efforts in the gym with a bad diet...well you might want to and that's cool some people go to the gym so that they can eat crap and not get fatter...but think of your insides too!

So if you need something to start you off why not join me on my 5 day challenge starting next Monday? I posted it a couple of days ago but don't worry I'll be posting about it again on Sunday! 

Add me on instagram @myfatscrying and tag me in some pics :)

Ps my head truly hurts after thinking about this post! 

feel the burn three

Hi all!

Welcome to feel the burn three, your hump day workout!

please excuse the squiggly lines, as i've said i'm having to make these on word and when i print screen i sometimes forget to removed the stupid lines...unfortunately i shut it down without saving it!

Anyway, as all feel the burns, it is circuit training...i've changed a few exercises so that you can do it at home with little equipment...

okay so butt blasters...i didn't no what to name this station but it hurt my butt so thats how i came to the decision...

find something to put your feet on so that you are in a declined push up position (hands lower than feet)

then step one leg down, return it and then alternate with the other leg :)

Hope you like your hump day workout!

Don't be afraid to lift heavy

My main goal at the moment is to get stronger, to begin with I was scared I was going to bulk up and look like I was on steroids if I lifted heavy weights but the truth is that as a women you will just tone and define your muscles, you have to be incredible focused to start getting body building type muscles as we girls don't have high testosterone which is the muscle building hormone! 

So I decided to start upping my weights, if you read my post on Monday I spoke about pushing out of our comfort zones! And then in the rig class tonight jan said we were working on technique and lifting heavy PERFECT! So we worked on a deadlift, power clean and clean and press...get your technique right and then up your weights as much as you can do sets of 8-10 but as you get heavier you should be looking to fail around 8. This is a goal I want to work towards, keep practicing do I can hopefully see what my body can actually achieve!

After that I went on to spin! A great way to finish a heavy weights session...I highly recommend trying spin...I have a love hate relationship with it...but it is turning into a bit more love than hate! 

If you live in the sudbury area remember you can pay as you go at zest so if there are any classes you want to try come down and try it out...they also give you your first class free...and as an added bonus for a short time they are offering new members a one off month of £20!!

And to finish off as it is nearing the time I go on holiday I found a workout on Pinterest that you can do anywhere...I plan on doing a workout on the beach :) 

Enjoy!

5 day challenge

A girl i work with always eats branflakes with yoghurt for breakfast and it always looks so nice. I've never been a fan of grown up cereals because they never taste as good as cocopops but needs must and i have been trying to eat cereals that will feel me up. So anyway i went to tesco and thought id give branflakes another try, and while looking at the box i noticed a '5 day challenge'. You are meant to eat branflakes for breakfast for 5 days and apparently you will feel less bloated and feel fuller throughout the day, as someone who is ALWAYS hungry i thought this would be ideal...so i thought id give it a go and then share it with you.

BUT

I decided that i would turn the next 5 days into a challenge to clean up my eating as its been a bit hit and miss lately, but i really need to get back on track as holiday is looming! So i put together this meal plan which is sort of what i will eat on a good day I do usually change up what I eat but for this challenge I thought if keep it simple..i would just like to remind you that I'm not trained in nutrition and only go by what gives me energy to workout but makes me feel good too...so here it is, its very simple, maybe a little boring but its only 5 days!

• I tend to swap the first protein shake to before breakfast as i have it straight after my morning workout also if you find you are just starving or need energy begore an evening workout add in a rice cake with a thin spread of peanut butter.

• Also the three egg whites can be upped if you wish but i can't eat more than three, alternatively have 2 whole eggs rather than just egg white

• If you dont like almond milk just have water, I just loooove almond milk as its so creamy and makes the protein thicker!

So if you want to join me that would be great and don't worry i will post something really exciting to keep you going...

So i thought we will start next monday so you have plenty of time to go shopping, i'm doing the bran flake challenge this week so feel free to join in..i am putting together a workout schedule for you too so that you can do it along side the challenge!

I wrote you a little shopping list too...i'm too good to you aren't i!

Get noisy on social media! I'd love to know if you are planning on trying this with me! So I'm @daniellejade0 on twitter and @myfatscrying on instagram and if you want to email me its my.fats.crying@gmail.com

Also on Sunday I will hope to post a prep video so you can see how I prep for the week :)

Monday madness #2

Here is your monday workout...its a toughie but so good! Make sure you push yourself, if you have access yo heavier weights, try lifting heavier it doesn't matter if you have to drop back down but how can we expect to change if we do what we always do?

So this is part of the monday madness series, which belong to Lloyd. I decided it would be easier to name the workouts the same thing (based on which insturctor came up with them) so that if you prefer a particular style of these workout you can maybe do the series of them when there is enough. 

I hope these printables are okay, unfortunately i no longer have access to photoshop so i am having to do them on word...

Enjoy the workout...you can tweet me to let me know you are doing it @daniellejade0 or if you want to send me a sweaty pic on instagram its @myfatscrying - get social media active people and let me know what you want to see! 

Happy monday!

Whim #6

My Ryan Gosling motivation went down really well last week, infact it is the most viewed post that i have done haha so i thought id continue with this sort of motivation...so i bring you... the god of all men...

CHANNING TATUM

So no excuses...if you need to print this off and take it to the gym with you do so, or stick it on your fridge or snack cupboard because who would want to disappoint that? certainly not me!

We had a BBQ yesterday for my graduation, and i ate far too much food, i think i ate my body weight in crisps (my biggest downfall) so when my alarm went off i hit off and rolled over....but i felt bad and the gym gods wouldn't let me go back to sleep so off i went and i'm glad i did. It was a really good workout, as always (which i shall post later) and i really pushed myself today and lifted heavier than i usually would. and i proved to myself that i can do it, it may take me a little longer to complete the reps but i got there and i saw a progression and i felt really proud of myself. So do something today that you can feel proud of and that reflects what you have been working towards, push out of your comfort zone and you will be amazed with what you can achieve!

Happy Monday

Lots of hardwork and dedication

p.s - god i love a p.s don't i? I'm working on a '5 day clean up' i was hoping to post it yesterday but time got away with me so i shall post it later on and hopefully you will all join me!
