This week has been the most interesting and the hardest!
Firstly I have to say a massive thanks to Tim Lawson (you can find him on Twitter @timlawsonpt) who has taken the time to educate this fat numpty on what I am doing not only at Boot Camp but also for pointing out the error of my food munching ways!
The fact is although I am eating reasonably healthy I am leaving way too long between my meals and this does not help with my weight loss. I am now eating every 3-4 hours by having a snack between my smaller meals, with things like nuts, seeds and fruit. This will hopefully boost my metabolism so it doesn’t think its starving and store!
I have also cut down on carbs during the day in general and also cut them out altogether after 5pm! Now I thought this would be the hardest thing to do but to be fair its not been as bad as I thought!
Boot Camps are also where you will now find me loitering 3 times a week, soon to be increased to 4! I must be mad!
This week if I am honest Boot Camps have killed me! Monday night consisted of an extra circuit working on legs and after a minute and a half of sumo walking I really did feel like crying, although I wont give Tim the satisfaction of thinking I have cracked … I smile through gritted teeth!!
In the picture it shows my nemesis the tractor tyre its a killer, tyre flipping is something I have only ever come across on World’s Strongest Man .. needless to say with this bad boy I should have buns of steel .. but with such a large amount of flab it may take some time!
Yes at times this week I have been in pain and have felt defeated but hell I am feeling pretty damn good with myself at the minute, more to the point …. I am doing it and nothings going to get in my way!

aww thanks so much Steph xxx
You go girl!!! You are doing so amazingly well honey, keep up the great work :)) xxx
thanks honey, i am shocked i am enjoying it all! x
Wow Jaime! That is impressive – I felt tired just reading your post lol. Keep going my lovely, you are doing brilliantly xxxx
awww thanks Sam xx
Way to go, you. With a name like yours, you really ought to be eating well every night?!!!
Been on a fitness/body journey myself this last year too. Now fitter then I was in my 20s or 30s and getting closer to the body I feel comfortable with. keep it up!
Awww thanks Helen, its quite empowering isnt it to work towards that goal. xx
Wow, you’ve done so well. I’m a grazer, but I try not to eat after 6pm. Good luck this week!
Awww thanks Sandy, I would graze all day long given a chance ! lol x
I thought I’d try not eating after 6pm this week to see if it makes a difference. I tend to snack loads when the kids are in bed and while it’s not doing any harm at the moment I reckon it’ll be better for me if I can get out of the habit.

I’m really impressed with how you’re not only keeping up with boot camp but adding an extra class to the week! You’re an inspiration to us all, well done
awww thanks honey, i just hope its worth it!! lol i am shattered with 3 so 4 might just kill me!

Ooooh what are Boot Camps?
Lauren they are mental, think giant tyre flipping, push ups, squats, sprinting, crunches, lunges and a whole heap of laughs! they are immense x
I’m so pleased Jaime to read that you completed more Boot Camps than you aimed for. Well done with all your achievements this week

Way to go, you are doing amazing. xx
thanks so much, i am hoping all this sweat is making the scales shift! x

I hope it shows on the scales !! x lol
Going too long between meals is probably my biggest problem too. I’ve added a link to you on my list of weight loss stories on my blog. Keep up the good work.
