So here we are, the half way mark of this journey of and again, there's not been a great change in measurements. Last week when this happened, I thought "Oh, ok, you know what, it will pick up next week" and now that it hasn't I guess I've been super cranky most of the week. […]

Week 5 Measurements made me want to scratch my head a bit. I've been thoroughly enjoying my training and the diet is no issue. And I have been working extremely hard. I'm now committed to 4 training sessions a week. This is partly because I'm at a level of fitness now that I can add […]

For those who have read my blog, in particular over the last week, you'd have been aware that I've been treading a fine line between training effectively and injuring a recalcitrant shoulder. Now that I'm well into Week 5 of 12, the role of my physiotherapist is going to become even more critical. Not just […]

The weeks seem to be flying by so quickly now. Into a good routine in terms of diet and training, and we're back to our weekly measurements. Week 4 now and there have been quite a few changes that I've noticed. Some of them obvious, some of them I've noticed on reflection of my daily […]

The last 3 or 4 days have been stressful and painful and I seemingly only have myself to blame. During my last one-on-one session with Trainer Dave, I was starting to open up a bit more and become a bit more fluid with my technique that is being drilled in to me (and I have […]

So has my diet and training been paying off? The simple answer is yes! In fact I had a feeling it would, otherwise I would be so disillusioned with the challenge, I'd pack my tail between my legs, grow a mustache and hide out in Puerto Rico until this whole thing blows over. As mentioned […]

So I'm just going to outline the last two one-on-one training session's I've had since the Day 1 Training Camp grind. After my first session I felt horribly exposed, I guess for good reason, but I've pretty much been a perfectionist at everything, so the fact that I am coming unstuck so quickly is frustrating. […]
