Tale as old as time, true as it can be... Okay... so it's just under five weeks until British Classic so figured that fitted rather well with this challenge cycle. Get a waist like Belle I'm running WAAAAY over my weight class at the moment. I'm confident that I can make it back but track calories consistently and honestly to make sure I can get my weight back to within 1-1.5kg of 63kg by the beginning of comp week so I only need to do a light water cut. SW: 66.2kg (16 August). I'll post my weight and calories every day along with a basic macro breakdown. For anyone who wants to follow me on MFP, my username is the same there. Be strong like Beast (or, let's face it... Gaston) This one is pretty self-explanatory. I've got five weeks to go so my training cycle has really ramped up. I'm doing 120-70-125 for sets of five today then upwards for threes and twos in the following weeks. Only one really heavy session per week with three lighter ones. The goal here is to try to minimise stress-outs and to post regular updates AND VIDEOS in my battle log and copying over here. I've been lazy about updating recently and very shy about videos. I'm not looking for feedback on the videos but it does help with my own tracking. I just got put off after people were critiquing my form on Instagram (and have had issues here in the past). Be a Beauty as well as a Beast Firstly, I've been getting into a bad habit of wearing yoga pants to work too often... So that has to stop. Aiming for 4/5 days per week wearing proper work clothes with an allowance for yoga pants on Friday. Secondly, bothering to do my hair and make-up to the point that I feel presentable every day. With an accompanying selfie. I've been too much of a hoodrat of late and it needs to stop! I won't wear make-up every day if I've been getting enough sleep, but need to feel confident putting up an unfiltered selfie! Read like Beauty I'm trying to get back to the habit of reading less embarrassing books (after a swathe of werewolf 18+ romances of late). Open to suggestions for Kindle books to read with a goal of feeding back on at least two books through the challenge. Overall I don't really do overall scoring very well or rewards, but the reward will really be doing well at Nationals!
