Back to it, 12 week challenge

I've been bad! I see that the last post was back in October so any idea that i've been tracking well is completely lost.

Yes i am over the 100, and i'm well ashamed of myself for that. No excuse for any of it.

But as of Saturday i am back on track and working on a new 12 week plan. This was to start 1st of Jan but as i've been particularly bad over xmas i thought it best to start a week early and avoid too much overdoing it at the new year.

so, 12 weeks. I have set myself three goals:
  1. Get back to lowest weight from last time - don't know what i am today but lowest was 96kg. i think i can do this in 4 weeks and i'm taking the 30 day fat loss from TT for this as it has a four day work out which i will feel more comfortable with.
  2. Get below 90kg. this is a great milestone and at 6 kg below the first goal i think it will work well for the four weeks. Buff Dudes and Hot Chicks for this one.
  3. Finally, to be below 85kg at the end. Reformed Meat Heads for that one.

My nutritional plan is firstly no drinking of any kind. not a drop must pass these lips - make the reasons for this clear in many other posts. Secondly it's low carb and low cal. I will stick to three meals a day each of only 500 cal and no carbs. This i will combine with two ESE days per week. I know this is hard but i must be strong. If i hit my goal before the end of the 4 week period i will go onto a more healthy diet but maintain till the beginning of the next goal - this is a blitz process.

I intend to do a lot of additional cardio work, not HIIT because i have that with TT and it will kill you if you do too much. Also not tread mill, bike blah at the gym - four times per week is enough of that place. no, i will just do the walking the streets, playing with the kids, go shopping, clean the car type stuff.

Very important is that i've also given up televison - this will help with the above.

So, today is the end of day two of no carb. i haven't been too strict on the calories so far as i know the low blood sugar affects my moods, also haven't been working out too hard - that starts tomorrow. But come tomorrow i will be low cal, low carb and burning it like crazy. i will also begin a 30 hour ESE after lunch tomorrow. I will take the boy to the beach on Tuesday and not eat till the evening of that day.

I will also post regularly from now on - please if anyone is reading give me some support.
