Steve @herculesgymtelford caught me benching 40kg

Steve @herculesgymtelford caught me benching 40kg for 8 reps tonight, which considering this was my 1RM not that long ago is giving me hope of hitting my goal of 60kg by July. Defo wouldn't be even close to this without the help of various people at Hercules and @nogymrequiredpt - one day I might even grow to enjoy benching 😂

So here we go, this is me today, day one on the pa

So here we go, this is me today, day one on the path to my comp weight category (up to 67.5kg). If you followed my loss progress last year you'll probably notice this dirty bulk went mostly on my hips and boobs. I know which of those will go first 🙄 Starting weight 77kg - my hormones have graced me with a lovely premenstrual boost to that figure 🤦‍♀️ I'm going to check in every Monday because it'll help me stay on track. If you've got any questions btw, I'm happy to answer them. Let's do this shit. 💪

Breakfast in bed. Today is the last day of my dirty bulk. I'm stopping a couple of days early - easier to get my head round starting on a Monday, gives me chance to deal with any hangry/sugar withdrawal symptoms before the weekend, am actually bored of bulking 🤯 - so making the most of today. Next step: get into my weight category before July, without losing strength. 😬

Legs held out for squats, was pretty sure I was going to 💩 myself though (lesson learned: don't eat curry before heavy squats). Now curled up with this ginger floof pretending I haven't got a billion work things to sort. 😴

The funny thing is, it's the LinkedIn photo that's the biggest load of bullshit. You'd never catch me using a Mac 😂 #dollypartonchallenge

Turns out if you don't run for ages, put on 10kg, then immediately launch back into your usual running schedule, your legs don't like it. Immense tightness and crampy arghness in my left leg after just a mile today. Mike @nogymrequiredpt very kindly jabbed his fingers into my leg in all the right places (😭) but it was still tender this evening so skipped club run in favour of a bath and stretches. It best be fixed by tomorrow, I've got squats to do. 😂

Bit behind on my plan to read 52 books this year but that's book 2 done, another from my Christmas stash. Really interesting look at the way women use other women in art and photography.

Apparently complaining that January has been too mild makes it freeze overnight. Took a detour on the way back from the gym this morning to get a picture of the cold, misty River Severn.
