Kinda messed things up today, this a classic "noodle", so swallow any drinks now because I don't want cleaning bills for ruined keyboards.
When I've been doing my weight training I've been taking the supplement Creatine to help with the exercise.
However as I was running out I went and bought some more but couldn't find the one that I had been using so I bought another kind from the same range.
Now, when I opened it up there was no plastic scoop inside and I thought to myself it must have been a packing error so I decided to use a scoop I'd saved from another product.
I made a drink as I normally would have done using the instructions from the earlier product and it was just horrid, full of gritty crystals that hadn't dissolved properly despite a very good shaking, it was like drinking a glass of sandy water.
I looked at the instructions and found out why a scoop wasn't included. I was only supposed to use 1 table spoon of the powder, a scoop from the previous product is most likely about 6 table spoons.
I also found the handy DO NOT EXCEED STATED DOSE warning as well.
Noodle.
I'm fine at the moment but you should always read the instructions.

Noodle. o.O I think you'll be okay... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatine#Health_effects I now have my bike back (following an idiot motorist writing off my back wheel a few weeks ago), so will be getting more decent exercise than I have been. |

I need to hit the gym again, 2 days out isn't good tbh you should be fine, only the muscle bound meatheads really need to go everyday or those with utterly crap cardio health...most gyms say 3-4 times per week for normal folks is enough if you try and get usualy easy exercise in around it like walking and such. |

I go through phases of weight loss a lot due to my eating/drinking habits. I think this time I have to get my act together though and aim for a healthier lifestyle altogether. 2 years ago I was just rocking over 14st and dropped to 11st Last year I went from 13st down to just over 10st As you can see I meet my goals then repeat, but that's not what I want this time. Right now I'm just under 13st and would like to drop back to 11st whilst maintaining a healthier lifestyle. It's going to be tough, but hey that's life  |

Well, so far I'm struggling with this and it's hard not to go back to my usual habits Tomorrow marks the start of my 3 day a week exercise plan, so hoping all goes well and I can up to 4/5 days when possible. For now I am going to stick with 30-45min on an exercise bike with your typical exercises thrown in. I still haven't gotten a proper meal plan set out yet, but hope to have that done for the end of the week. Let's get fit! |

It's me, back again with a belly and 20 chins!  I haven't bothered to weigh myself, but my eating/drinking habits have gotten out out of control once again. The Irn Bru habit is back, alongside £10 of chocolate and energy drinks for breakfast. Tomorrow I am intending on going cold turkey. No chocolate, sweets, crisps or fizzy juice. I can't get on my exercise bike right now, cause it's in the shed and it's mayhem in there! But, I walk/speed walk at work, so that'll do for the time being. I won't be changing my main meals right now, easing myself into this once again! |

I joined Slimming World 8 weeks ago and i've lost a stone which i'm happy about and i'm 2lbs away from my stone and a half award. Come the new year i'm joining my local gym to help even further with my weight loss. I've asked my parents for gym clothes (bottoms, sports bra, trainers etc). I thought if i got it as present then i'm more likely to go and not put it off.

I have to learn how to use the new equipment in the gym, they found some money behind a sofa and have upgraded pretty much most of the machines in the gym.

I recently bought a weighted hula hoop to help me tone my tummy up. It's certainly not easy and it bruises!
