    Turns out I've lost some weight (without actively trying ). This morning all of my school shirts were in the wash except for one which I never wear because it's always been too small for me. So in desperation I put it on and it fits. The only recent change to my lifestyle was changing my Tai Chi class - from one that pretty much only did forms (boring) to another one which does applications and now incorporates contact push hands (which can get pretty rough - they're seriously talking about investing in jigsaw mats).

    So, I've steadily lost about 10kg. But since then have plateaued for 6 months. Trying to shift at least another 5kg to achieve the perfect physical specimen so they keep drooling over me. Any advice appreciated. I DON'T DO TAI CHI.

    35min cardio - usually 6.5km - 7.5km
    50min - 70min weights session (depending on workout selected)
    Home by 8am
    Breaky is usually a bowl of muesli
    Off to work - 830am
    Snacks - almonds
    20 min walk
    12-1230pm - lunch. I am currently on the menu plan from My Muscle Chef. Its fantastic... highly recommend.
    Snacks - almonds
    20 min walk.
    Home - 530 - 6pm
    30 min HITT session
    Dinner 830pm - Again another delicious my muscle chef meal.

    Have been at this for 7 weeks now. Feeling absolutely sensational. Still more to go, but well on the way.

    I usually do some casual boxing routine at home. I have a boxing bag setup with some weights.
    I have also found that I am cutting back on the booze through the week. Hoping to get to only a drink through the week and also I have stopped snacking and choosing the water or fruit option.

    I am currently reading the book "Presto" by Penn Jillette (of Penn and Teller fame). He goes on that Potato for 2 weeks diet that Kevin Smith did after his heart attack. It's an interesting read that he also talks about their performances in Vegas for their magic show.

    A lot of energy goes to powering that super brain of yours.

    I too would lose weight if my diet was potatoes.

    But I read somewhere that it can be a good thing to stabilise body weight for a period followed by some more weight loss and so on.

    Its funny as most of you are trying lose a bit of weight or be more active I'm actually trying to put weight on. So I'll do a bit of a run down on my day.

    11am yoghurt with muesli or cereal
    12pm Gym session followed by 20 mins of cardio
    2:30pm 1 1\2 cups of oats with protein powder
    5:30 Chicken, rice and broccoli (sometimes switch it out for meat and potatoes)
    Off to work
    7pm Protein cookie, apple and carmans protein muesli bar
    9pm 5 eggs and 1 cup of rice
    12am snack of rice cakes with protein spread and some trail mix
    2-2:20am high protein frozen meal usually peanut satay chicken.
    3:30am bed zzz

    one day a week i go crazy and just eat whatever, it;s a bit tedious but ypu gotta feed those muscles I mean it doesn't always go exactly like that as i have 3 children with after school activities but it's close enough.
