Week Three this week and have lost 2.5kgs so far! Am pretty excited at the motivation and dedication I have for this 12 week programme. This week will be my first FULL training week, so will be interesting to see the difference that makes on my measurements/weight.
Feeling in control and not having any cravings or stressed feelings about food - I can visualise the end results and am feeling 100% certain that I can achieve this. I am excited about weight training properly again and did an awesome workout for upper body last night. In a couple weeks I might need to get a spotter to help me with the weights so I feel I can really push myself.
Food wise, I am struggling to eat all the calories each day, I really have to force myself because I don't feel hungry (which is the whole point of eating smaller meals regularly) my metabolism is going nuts.

Plodding along.....
Looking forward to this weekend, my back has finally sorted itself out (have to be relatively careful for a bit...) so I am keen to do another upper body workout and a leg workout this weekend. I haven't done bodyjam for two weeks and I am itching to get to do the class tomorrow...
My goal for the next two weeks is to eat super clean and train very hard to really get this fat off me and start increasing the strength. Being super organised in the kitchen helps.

12 week training... commenced!
After many weeks of contemplating training to really change my body - I have taken it upon myself to get the advice and support from Diana Chilaoux doing her 12 week programme to lower body fat and increase muscle.
The preparation is the hardest thing I am finding so far, the food is pretty clean, just takes time preparing it and making sure I have the right measurements for the macronutrients! (Guess who did her nutrition exam yesterday... hee hee).
Last week was week one - I managed to twinge my lower back and was at home for a day and a half from work, went to my physio for acupuncture and release work - does the trick. Really need to focus more than anything on core strength and posture whilst during weight training.
Due to resting my back last week I didn't get any of the weight training done. I did manage a swim and a couple walks - have lost 1.5kgs. So happy with that, shows that even though the nutrition was still being worked out, I was doing something right.
This morning I did upper body and pushed myself, I was a right sweaty mess when I went downstairs to do some treadmill work - love that feeling.
