[Hannah]

@Hannah_loulou2 if any one wants to find me ill follow you back too x

This is what 3.2kg down looks like on me. Same outfit. 9 weeks apart. Cheeky flex. Been weight training for 2 years. Been over eating all my life my weight goes up and down. I actually had less body fat this time last year.

Insta tylamorningstar not a fitness page. Mostly heavy music

[Samw]

Nice work you look great

Also I’ve followed you, if you know of a decent heavy music playlist for the gym I’m all ears haha

[Tylax10]

Thanks! I will personally make you one what do you listen to at the moment?

[Samw]

Are you sure thank you very much I’ll message you x

[KJM1984]

Weight training is exactly what I used to call my over eating!

I may have gotten it slightly wrong it seems.

Excellent work by the way, you’re an inspiration too!

[KJM1984]

Oh Slipknot is my go to, the album Slipknot is just perfect for the gym for me. Followed by Iowa.

I’ve tried a mix of Ill Nino, SOAD, Spineshank, and nothing gets me hyped up quite like those early Slipknot albums.

[Tylax10]

I feel this so much weight training literally thank you

[Tylax10]

Agreed. Self titled slipknot never ever gets old especially at the gym! Happy to send over some more heavy recommendations

[KJM1984]

Go for it. I love new music recommendations.

I use Amazon Music for downloading music.

The new Slipknot stuff just doesn’t hit the same, I think it’s just some of the intensity / rawness is gone. Maybe I’m not just giving it a fair bash.

[Tylax10]

That’s fair. The old slipknot is superior though!! will message you!

[KJM1984]

It’s been a bit of a struggle lately.

I have had some long days working in the last couple of ports, 18 hour days. I’ve been getting really rather annoyed with some of the people on board.

There have been a couple of gym sessions, but I’ve been mentally drained.

We go again. Habits and consistency beat motivation.

6.5 weeks left on board.

[Hannah]

I admire your determination through the circumstances of your work
Consistency always beats perfection

[KJM1984]

Thanks Hannah.

I just really need to read this forum and be inspired by you all!

I got into the gym and had an ok session. Not brilliant. Not terrible. Just ok.

One thing I’ve been consistent with is my 10000 steps from 0400 with my 10kg weight vest. Every day at sea.

It’s time for a strong finish to this. And of course to carry on.

How are you getting on?

[Hannah]

Are you on instagram? A few of us have followed eachother then we can also stay supporting eachother a bit beyond the challenge im @hannah_loulou if you have it. Deffinatley helpful being part of a supportive group I totally agree.

Well done for getting into the gym today thats what counts even if it wasnt your best.

Ive got an upper body session this morning after the school run x

[KJM1984]

I’m on Instagram but don’t post on it. I did contemplate at the start of this doing a progress thing, but I really am not one for being in photos!

I think we already follow each other.

Ken.magee.104, there are 103 other Ken Magee’s on there. Or it doesn’t work like that.

I’m going to have to use my 35% discount code soon and do a massive order, the Mrs will be delighted with that I’m sure! Any recommendations for flavours?

Post school run gym is probably my favourite time to go!

Keep going, you’re an inspiration!

[seriouslyfarmy]

I would love to see you win the comp then jump in a dingy to make it back for the photoshoot

[KJM1984]

Ah I’m not in it to win it.

Best I could do is a lifeboat. That won’t get Me very far though!

[Hannah]

Sticky toffee is amazing.

I like the birthday cake one too its really nice and as its a more neutral flavour its good for having with things too so the flavours dont clash. I was excited to try apple strudel but glad I got a sachet to try first as I wasn’t that impressed deffo try get some of the sachets to try

[KJM1984]

I mixed the Apple strudel into some Fage, it was incredible.

Sticky Toffee and Birthday Cake are both on the list to try.

I had 6 or 7 sachets, I can’t remember all the flavours unfortunately. They all went into Fage at some point and some were better than others. Popcorn was a bit meh. Mint chocolate is always a favourite of mine.

Think there was a lemon cheesecake one, and some chocolate mocchachino or something. I’m not a coffee drinker so it was wasted on me.

S’mores and Red Velvet were in there, both were decent.

I think that’s the 7 actually.

I’ll do an order before the end of the month and get an ear bashing from the Mrs!
