Today is Sunday 9th December 2007.

Weight this morning was 14st 3lbs.

Feeling full again today and my legs are sore after a good quad and ham workout yesterday morning.

Today is a rest day and I will be taking tomorrow off as well as I feel battered and need a rest. The higher weights and intensity are really hitting the spot but also hitting me hard. I slept in today until 7.15am, the longest for over a year!!!

I now have around 11.5 weeks until the show (where is the time going) and the extra cardio is having a good effect on conditioning and I am slowly chipping away.

Wade came down on thursday to train and after a great back workout took a look and reckoned, as I do, around 6 weeks and I'll be ready. We have the xmas period before but I never normally go wild, just really xmas day and boxing day I will enjoy my roast dinners and then back on a stricter regime come the 27th.

I am hoping that Paul B will come down or I will go up to see him in the next 4 weeks so he can assess and see where I should go from here. Luckily I have a realistic grip where i should be and what I have to do between now and the show but a second opinion and pair of eyes is very important.

My lower back is also pumping up quite significantly when training legs. This always happens when my weight gets to a certain level and intracellular water levels increase.

So things are chugging along nicely at the moment and I am enjoying around 2-3 cheat meals a week at present but still slowly losing.

I took some pics today just after I got up so you can see where I am with 11.5 weeks to go.
