Plan: Atkins Induction
Stats: 160/130/116 Female 61 inches - 5ft 1"
BF:32.8/19/15
Progress: 68%
Location: UK Christchurch, Dorset
Default Fast as a cheetah, as strong as a Lion

So here is the gym log of the crazy cat lady, at least that's what my friends call me!
Up to today the following has been my routine
monday 1 x spinning 1 x 2 mile run, 30 mins ab's
Tues rest day
Weds 30 mins abdominal conditioning, 2 x spin classes back to back
Thurs body conditioning or body pump
Friday 1 hours personal training plus 2 x spin.
Sat body conditioning & spin
Sunday, rest day

I eat 1000 calories a day on average at induction level. I have tried eating more but I'm just not hungry & find myself feeling bloated and sick from forcing in more food.
I've lost 9lbs in first 2 weeks then nothing for 2 weeks, then 2lbs, then nothing for a while then another pound 2 weeks ago.

I measure and have been losing inches even though no weight.

I've been told that I do too much cardio & too much exercise so my body will want to hold onto fat. That I may be cannibalising my muscles.
So here is my new plan of action for the next 2 week

Monday warm up of spin, followed by 1 mile of alternating 3 mins sprint & 3 mins walk, 20 mins ab's

Tuesday rest day

Wednesday 2 x spin classes back to back

Thursday body pump

Friday personal training which is going to be all weights and ab's, no cardio, Friday evening 2x spin back to back.

I am going to try and force more protein and fat into me & increase my calorie intake, I use the word force as it is going to be hard work.

Here is hoping for the right results
