Getting leaner and meaner.

Training going well - enjoying the four day split and I am getting so strong! Have increased by chest press from 20kgs to 30kgs with dumbells... next to increase the bar chest press and cable chestpress.

Single arm row am now doing 12.5kgs dbells each side... from 10kgs.

Feeling stronger in more core, lower back and abs also! My only downfall is my knee playing up, so have cut back on classes and will do more cardio on cross/trainer etc, pool to build up the strength and reduce the swelling.

Eating clean, loving the feeling of eating fresh non processed foods and can notice the difference with my skin, hair and overall feeling of wellbeing. Have experimented and made some tasty high protein muffins, with egg whites, oats and banana, with some vanilla, cinnamon and stevia to flavour. mmm.

Focused!

Focused focused focused. Am eating well, training hard and resting plenty - feeling great! Starting to notice the difference in training now and small definition starting to show (ok I am sure I am the onlyperson who can actually notice it...) overall people are noticing that I am training and slimming down so that is a great motivator.
