Hey guys, sorry I've not updated for a good few days.
Zed, I fully envisaged it getting harder to shed the last 10lb or so, but I must have a good 24lb or more to shift still!! I think I need to look at diet - don't think I'm eating enough, not compared to when I was religiously tracking everything on fitday for the first 3 months or so of this new lifestyle. Will get back to keeping tabs on myself better and see if we can't start the scales dropping again.
So yesterday;
Shoulders
BB upright row 20kg (44lb) +bar x12 x10 x8
DB overhead press 12kg (26.5lb) x12 x10 x8 Will go heavier next time
Lateral DB raise 8kg (17.5lb) x12 x8
Front DB raise 10kg (22lb) x12 x8
Bent over reverse flye 10kg (22lb) x12 8kg (17.5lb) x10x10

Hiding in the corner of the room with a 'sulk on' after being told off by you Zed - where else would I be!
Haha no I took yesterday as a rest day as I'd lifted morning and night the day before. Just getting the kiddies to bed in a bit then I will hit the gym for chest/back supersets. Want to do a 'just squat' session soon but I best leave that till next week as I'm climbing one of the peaks this weekend as a trial run, the one i'll be doing during the night in september, just to get a feel for it. Apparently it's very craggy and you clamber a lot of it rather than hike! Best not have a sore arse and legs for that so I'll leave the squatting till monday. Will update tonights session later x

So it's nearly the end of July so that means progress pics time - 
Need to take all measurements in the morning and see if much has changed there.
BACK to start with, can def see changes but no where near as much as I'd hoped for by now
First one is March, just as I started out in all this. Second is May's progress, third is from today. So 5 full months since the start - but only 4 months actively training and eating right (most of time!)
If you enlarge the pics - dear lord look at the flubber on the first one - horrific!!!

I enlarged the first and last and looked at them side by side.
Missy, you have made some nice changes. You are noticeable leaner, you don't have that soft look to you anymore. Especially on your shoulders, arms and back, you have definition, and your muscles are coming out. Your arms look so much nicer, you lost fat off of them, they're lovely. And I see a nice waist line too, you must be so excited!!! I hope you show off that nice waist line sometime with a pretty belt over a tunic or cardy.
Well done, and keep up the good work. It is amazing what we can do for ourselves when we put our will in motion

Aw thanks for your kind words Trex. I am pleased yes - can't not be with loosing 3 sizes top and bottom - but still I'd hoped for more!!
I'm excited for what the future 6 months or so will bring, to see where I can take this.
So I trained shoulders this morning, so I've tried to take progress pics showing them better - not very good at this picture/flexing stuff!

Zed - the peaks are Ben Nevis / Snowdon / Scafell Pike
I'm doing Scafell in the morning, 3 hours drive away from me, as it's this one that I'll be doing during the night in a few weeks, so I'm going tomorrow to get a feel for it. It's the shortest but the hardest underfoot apparently.
So anyway Zed - thanks for the flowers (I actually kinda like been shouted at occasionally - but I'll still accept the flowers!!) and yes I definitely know now!!
So did you see my progress pics - can you see any difference in the last 2 months?
