After pretty much 3 months of work, I have gotten to a point where my weight in stones starts with a 13 rather than 14. This means I have lost around 14lbs in this 3 month period. Roughly, that will work out at a pace of 1lb per week.…

1 week between workouts. That’s how long the energy sapping cold kept me away from exercise, and it was definitely a challenge.
At various points during the week of no activity, I thought about my lacking ability to exercise, but didn’t have the energy or motivation to do anything with it.…
Don’t you hate it when plans and momentum get disrupted? I am currently on day 6 of suffering with a cold. It’s the kind of cold where my energy has been sapped, meaning that my ability to exercise has been severely limited.…
Just as I was getting comfortable with my exercise routine, I decided to mix things up a bit, and have started to include running into my routine. I know I’m not a natural runner. I find it somewhat boring, and I’m either out of breath, or I’m suffering pain in my legs or have a stitch.…
I’ve previously shared workouts 1 with you, which is located here if you missed it. Today, I’m sharing with you workout number 2.
I do these exercises, in this order. I do 8 reps in each set, and perform 5 sets of each.…
As I’ve mentioned previously, I generally work out with weights, rather than focus on cardio. I find it suits me better, and expect to get faster results this way. Also, I’ll end up with an end result I’m happy with. I have 2 different gym workouts, though they are both full body and therefore overlap with the muscles worked, but just change some of the moves involved.…
Apparently, being in the “healthy” BMI range is a good thing, and somewhere we should all aim to be. Of course, there are exceptions to that rule, and the whole BMI as a form of measurement is also somewhat disputed. Regardless of this, it is commonly agreed that there are health benefits in exercising, eating better, and not being overweight (having a high percentage of fat).…
When I started this journey, I was almost 15 stones (210lbs). I had been hovering around 7lbs lighter than this for a long time, but not really been below this point in a number of years. My journey is not about losing weight, but about changing the shape of my body.…
I’m not a morning person. I am not good at getting up early unless there is a specific reason that I cannot avoid. I wake up at 6am to get ready for my commute to work. I can wake up at 4.30am to get ready to head for an early flight.…
1 month. That’s all it’s taken for me to look forward to working out. It may have been a little less than this, but it’s always hard to pinpoint when a mind-set changes, especially looking back. I’ve read before that if you do something for 30 days, it becomes a new habit, but I don’t think it’s quite as clear-cut as that.…
My workout system could be better. I could follow proven plans online, and probably should. There are lots of options to follow, but what works best to achieve results is what works for you. In that regard, my workout system is awesome.…
