Okay, I've been signed up to this site for months and months, then forgot about it, then remembered it, then had problems logging all food on the food log because I always ate without weighing. So, I thought I'd have a try at keeping a journal here to motivate myself.
About me: I'm female, 36, 5'6", 61kg, 28% body fat
goals are to get under the 60kg mark and to definitely reduce body fat to ideally 22%. I know this will be a lot of hard work, but I'm ready.I've been working out for about 10 years, had 2 kids, had 2 jobs which meant I spent most of last year managing about 1 workout a week. Now I'm down to 1 job, part time, and I've just upped workouts to 4 a week to beast myself before the kids are on the summer hols.
I love weight training, I kinda like cardio, and I avoid classes because they scare me. I much prefer to be in charge of own workout. I aim to burn around 1500 cardio calories a week - as calculated on the gym machines - which I know isn't accurate, but it gives me a goal. I am currently doing a legs/shoulders and arms/chest/back 4 day split working on 3 sets of 8 - the 2nd and 3rd set more likely to be less than 8 reps because I love working to failure.
Hopefully this journal will help me achieve goals - if I remember it's here!!!!!
