Diet Time

Completely went over the top this week, I've had a whole box of chocolate fingers to myself, chinese, chippie, pizza, lasagne etc etc. Full blown out binge for me. Surprisingly haven't put any weight on but my stomach looks huge. Seriously need to look at my diet.

Have ordered some Huel meal replacement drinks, hopefully I can stick to it and just have 1 main meal a day. I am not very good at this dieting thing. Well, better get reading the booklet. Quite pleased with my box of goodies. If you order directly from the site you get a free shaker, measuring cup and a free t-shirt with your first order. Let's hope it fills me up. 😮

Week 2 Fat Loss Journey

Image
Fat Loss Not Weight Loss Notice I have changed my wording. This is to keep me motivated (which today I am not). I have put on 1lb, I think this was probably my Sunday dinner yesterday. But I am hopeful that muscle weighs more than fat and this 1lb is muscle. Who am I kidding? 😂 I am really not motivated today. I feel so tired. I did not sleep well. So, before my workout I looked for some inspirational images to get me going. My workout today was weight training and trying out my abs machine (more on that later). I have only targeted body areas that I don't think are covered fully in my Kettle Bell Workout or where I would like more improvement. This is personal to me and also depends on my own physical ability. My Beginners Weight Training Program 15 reps, 3 sets, 30 minutes with little stops in-between. Bicep Curl Dumbbell Bench Press Dumbbell Hammer Curl Shoulder Shrug Calf Raise Sit Ups on Abs Machine Leg Raises on Abs Machine Full Stretch on Abs Machine O

Injured Lower Back from Kettlebell Swings

Image
So yesterday I started back up with the full kettle bell workout I've been using: 12 reps Kettlebell Deadlift 12 reps Goblet 12 reps Russian Swings 12 reps Around the World 12 reps American Swings X1 set with 8kg kettle bell and X2 sets with 10kg kettle bell. This morning I tried to turn over in bed and had terrible pain in my left lower back. Trying to get out of bed was even more interesting. If it wasn't for the pain, it would have been quite comical. Searching on the internet, it seems likely to be my form and I think I have pinpointed it to swinging too low. Over the course of my research I have found that I should aim the kettle bell on the down move towards my 'zipper' and also (just in case) on the up, stop at 1 'o'clock just in case I am overextending. Today, I will try to complete my workout using my 6kg kettle bell until I get my form right. The 8kg kettle bell that I used yesterday is far too big for kettle bell swings. The handle is quite

Rest Days and a New Week 3

Image
I think I may have overdid it a bit when moving my weights up and the 10kg kettle bell. As a result my hip was playing up a bit. I didn't push it, I had Friday off. Homely events caused me not to do any over the weekend either. Today I was back to it (having had 3 days off). Workout this morning 15 mins: 6kg kettle bell, 15 reps x 1 set 8kg kettle bell, 15 reps x 1 set 10 kg kettle bell, 15 reps x 1 set plus 10 reps of 10kg kettle bell Total swings: 100 This is week 3. The 6kg kettle bell is quite light now. I am using it as a warm up set. The 8kg kettle bell was an impulse buy from Morrisons. It cost £7! there is also a reason for this. The handle is quite large, it is made from moulded plastic, it is the size of a small football and I think it is probably filled with sand. This doesn't really matter though and I found the "Around the World" exercise a bit easier to handle. The 10kg kettle bell wasn't too bad when I first started the set, but toward
