Went for run this morning and did my first non stop 10k in an hour so happy with progression from 5k

Feeling it now but worth it.

This really is a good thread.
I�m going for my 10th PT session this afternoon (in just over 3 weeeks) and have decided that tomorrow will be the first �comparison day�. I took some pics and measurements on the day of my first sessions so it will be really interesting to compare. I havn�t actually lost much weight in the last 3 weeks, may 1.5 / 2 kg but my fitness has come on a lot and people have been commenting that i look different.

In November i have decided to really focus in on diet - maybe more specifically calorie deficit. To help with this i have started using Huel... i can already hear the disaproaving groans especially after some of the brilliant advice and insights further up.... but personally i have never had an issue in taking on board calories in this way. I have quite often done detox juicing diets and have gone 5/7 days on 98% juice only and although i love good food as long as i know i�ll be able to have at least one meal a day then i havn�t found it an issue using a substitute.

Some people have gone onto Huel full time but i�m Just going to be using it to regulate my calories so probably 1/2 times a day. Most of the complaints with it come from taste and windy bottoms but i mix mine with frozen fruit and its fine and as yet i havn�t had to issue any weather warnings to the family... so far so good.

Alcohol is my biggest issue, have literally cut my intake in half (more than) since starting to train but i still don�t come in under the 14 unit advisory on a weekly basis and after a Haloween party at the weekend has left us with a tidy drinks surplus its going to be a tough week trying to restrict myself not drinking them all!

Well done to everyone who is trying!

Walking down stairs is an issue for me at the moment

Another one here who has hired a PT. Had a health scare earlier this year... and like others have said, wish I'd done it earlier...

Can always earn more money and its an investment in myself... this is my third week, 3 morning sessions per week before work. My PT is someone who himself lost massive amounts of fat before becoming a PT and it's because of that I went with him.

Birthday In November ... Plan is to continue 3 days a week with him for a year until my next birthday and then switch to once a week and train myself... the thinking is.. a year down the line it will have become a habit and part of my lifestyle...

Genuinely wish you all best of luck with your effort... hope you all meet your goals!!!

And I did 2 exercises only

Brilliant... keep us updated.

I have to remind myself that progress is always not that obvious. I have loads of people ask me if i have lost weight put personally i can�t see anything different, and the scales don�t have a dramatic shift... but with so many people saying it it must be there to see...

I�m really enjoying being able to run up flights of stairs, chase the kids and other bits on Bobs, all without the out of breath panting i used to have.... I also know that even if i have a blow out (like this weekend) i can put the effort in and it not simply go straight to my love handles!!

I don�t actually like exercise.... but i am beginning to appreciate the results.

This time next year Rodney....

Sometimes you might not see results in physical appearance straight away but try measuring yourself. Also you maybe losing fat in places you cant see... Main thing is to keep going... just chip away at it... slowly but surely is the safest way to lose the bad weight... Like yourself I am feeling fitter. I have started playing 5 aside football on the weekends.. one of the guys commented last week that it was the best he'd seen me play... I am the worst player on the pitch and just play for fitness... but that was good to hear...

Good point go by how you feel and look in the mirror not what the number on the scale say. They can be mis leading muscle weighs a lot more than fat!!!

Boondougal · « **Reply #99 on:** October 30, 2017, 07:27:31 PM »

Great points @Yorkershire and @Davehugh, the one month re measure is Wednesday morning. Fingers crossed.

I saw a post yesterday that has been taken down - assume it was against forum rules.

Anyway - its a free 28 week fitness plan - cricket related - I got the email in-time and now have the App and the plan.

I think this will benefit anyone looking to do cricket training and everyone on this thread.

Email info@tenaxperformance.com for your FREE plan.

Made myself a basic Bircher this morning,very tasty and filling-left out the honey and it was slightly too sweet to taste,will reduce the amount of raisins next time.Added a linseed mix too.I imagine there is a lot of scope with messing around with different (healthy) ingredients. Thoroughly recommended!

When CBF is so ingrained in your life you have bat oil in your diet!

Haha! I needed linseed for the wholegrains

Well 10 PT sessions down, an extra 10k calories burnt compared to the month before (I've been doing a few home sessions as well), alcohol more than halved, Yellow / white food (bread, potatoes rice etc) reduced 80%, seriously daily attempts at calorie deficit. Money spent, pain and suffering powered through and today was checkpoint one against my baseline measurements....

No change, zero (well virtually), infact my calf has got bigger (and they were already big) and so has my chest (man boobs) which I guess is why I thought my tummy had shrunk a bit.

Not an ideal start to the day.... and I can't even go and comfort eat to help me through it..... I have a training session this afternoon to get through.
