Project Ripped

I need to start off mentioning that I am a bit sore today after the ride yesterday. My knees are sore and I have a few pains in the legs that I can’t identify. I had thought about going for a run but I think that any exercise is out of the question today. I [...]

I awoke this morning to an upset stomach and so decided not to go for the bicycle ride. I thought I might get out later in the day but listening to my body decided to rest completely today and let me body recover.

Having been on a family holiday, and not having a weigh-in last week, I have been looking towards a static physique or a slight improvement. As always the last thing that I want is weight loss that isn’t fat.

As I am now 2/3 of the way through Phase 1 I am hoping to see approximately 2/3 of the progress I might make by the time I finish my first 12 weeks. I have lost 3 lbs. of weight in the last week and I am hoping that this is fat loss and not [...]

This morning when I woke up at about 8:00 am I took my weekly measurements. I am pleased that I am still making progress. This morning I didn’t do my 15 minutes exercise as this is the first of my two rest days to give my legs a chance to recover after 4 weeks of [...]

I managed to wake up at about 8:00 am today when the kids came running in to the bedroom. Keen to find out what progress has been made I got up for measurements. I am pleased that once again I am making progress.
This week my key statistics are:

Weight: 13 st. 5 lbs. (187 lbs.) – [...]

I managed to lie in until about 8:00 am this morning. After that it was time for measurements. I am pleased that I am making progress.
