Fat Burning Zone

So things still aren't going that great with the old kilo situation...BUT...there is a light on the horizon. Even though I gained 3 kilos in the last month (and you could not be more horrified than I am at this!) I have lost 5% of my previous state of fatness. In 3 weeks time there will be another fat measuring fiesta and I want to lose another 5% so it's all about low fat food choices and lots of cardio in the fat burning zone for me now.

Be Aggressive! B-E Aggressive!!

If you are reading the title of this post and have a yearning to step from side to side and clap rhythmically - then Bring It On Funk Soul Sisters! You know exactly what we're talking about!!

I've been playing round with Goals 1,3 & 4 for a month and really getting nowhere. In fact, with Goal 3 I've actually progressed in the wrong direction. Time to do something about it and step up my efforts. So I've started a 12 week programme that my gym offers called Body Revolution. I have an eating plan to follow and I'll have two personal training sessions a week. Plus I'll have to do a whole lot of extra cardio the rest of the time. By the end of the 12 weeks I want to reduce my fat percentage by 5% and I want to be of "average" fitness. Hopefully not too much to ask if I put the work in.

It's going to mean some major lifestyle changes including:
* Going to bed a lot earlier
* Waking up at 6am and exercising in the morning
* Having breakfast
* Having a proper dinner
* Choosing low fat
* Planning and organising my food in advance

Phew! I'm not freaking out. Honest I'm not!! I really want to see some results so I'm going to think like an athlete and pursue this for all it's worth. Be Aggressive! B-E Aggressive is my new motto (and I think Shiny's too but for completely different reasons) so bring it on!!

Moving - but in the wrong direction

Now that I am all about health, it's time to address Goal 4. I will lose 20 kg this year. But first to remove that pesky stray kilo that just popped on last week.



No more coke. No more chocolate. Lots of water. Lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. My body is my temple etc etc.
