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.
