I'm starting to hit the point where I'm starting to see really nice physical changes in my body. I'm getting leaner, my muscles are shaping up and getting more and more visible as the fat is going. I've only been at it for about two months now and look at my legs!! I've always really liked my legs but there's like no fat...

Only 100g away from getting rid of that ridiculous 1.8kg gain two weeks ago! Very happy about that. Felt so good to see that number on the scales this morning.

The back of the body workout for Phase 2 really seems to kill my back. Tuesday night was pretty agonising. I had to use the combination of painkillers, a massage and heat gel to get the pain to settle down. I still had that screaming at the back of my head during today's workout, I was just so scared to hurt myself again...

I let out quite a few of manly roars during my workout today. :D First day of Phase 2 and it definitely was a lot harder than it looked like. Oh, and typing this is really hurting my arms! As you might think a step up in level also means a step up in difficulty. You are asked to use heavier weights, to...

It was supposed to be my rest day today but it's been so wonderful and sunny for the past three days. I ended up going for a long walk along the seafront, think I was out for about an hour! It's so nice to be so close to the sea, it's so refreshing to walk along the beach and just soak in the...

OK, I don't feel quite as bad anymore after seeing the difference in the pictures. I've clearly toned up so much since I started doing Body Revolution. Still got a long way to go but you know, it's a start! 1st January 2013 - 17th February 2013 ...

I've gotta say, I'm very disappointed with the results so far. :/ I was hoping for a lot more than this. Numbers in brackets is the measurement at the start of Phase 1. Weight: 81,5kg (80,2kg) Arms: 31,5cm (32,5cm) Bust: 105cm (105,5cm) Waist: 78cm (79cm) Belly: 100cm (100cm) Thighs: 61,5cm (62,5cm) And so disappointed with the weight loss too, I wanted to go...

I did it! Phase 1 of BR is now behind me! I feel absolutely fantastic and so proud of myself for getting through it. When I got BR I was a bit worried that I'd give up halfway through, using my back as an exucse. But I didn't. I'm so proud. Having my other half watching me work out has helped too, I've...

Are you fucking kidding me, seriously?! So my body thinks that based on this week's calorie intake I've gained so much weight that I'm back to the reading about four weeks ago? And I can't help but beat myself up about last night - I could've gone for the more healthy options but I didn't. Self discipline was below zero last night and...

I seem to be watching my food more than ever. We went out to Brighton today to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday. We had dinner at JB's American Diner, quite a "standard" American place if you ask me. They only really had burgers + some steak, a few wraps and salads. None of the wraps and salads really tickled my fancy so I went...

So, since Monday I've done the two new workouts. I ache! It actually feels really good to move a bit and feel that post workout ache in my muscles - especially in the abs! Absolutely loving it right now. At least I know I'm doing the workouts right instead of just half assing it. It's a massive step up from the first two...

Hah, screw you last week! Managed to get rid of the +0.5kg I gained last week AND an extra 0.3kg! I think I've finally found a good way of eating and exercising. BR is quite demanding on the body despite being only 30 minutes a day, so I don't feel bad about having a biscuit with my morning coffee and so on. And...

Half way through phase one! Thought that I'd write a little something about the past two weeks in one handy post. The only thing that really hit me during the first workouts was the cardio - even after two weeks my calfs are screaming me to stop bouncing around like a bunny rabbit. It is so intense for calfs alone, other body parts...
