Confession and Embarrassement

G'day Bloggers..

I had a kettlebell Session with TC today.. Yes I am keen training on New Years day. The training is not the hard part for me.. I can focus on what I am doing and it is over in less than an hour. Kettle bell training is fun and different. I have been doing weights for years but kettlebell has added a new dimension to my fitness.. A lot of Ballistic movement (TC technical talk). I only have to do 5 reps each set but I have to concentrate on form. Surprisingly I really get a great workout from such few reps.. Maybe that is the TC Hardcore secret. I am learning how to get fantastic results doing, which i would have considered before, little work.. It is all about the type and intensity of exercise you do..

Anyway confession time.. I ate Pizza last night.. I know I know. Why Why Why??? I don't know I used to say Pizza was my Kryptonite but since I have been on my eating plan I don't really want it anymore.. Junk food really affects my training and life. I feel sluggish, bloated, fat, tired just all round crappy. It takes me a couple of days to get back to my new normal.. Which is Positive, Energetic, Strong and feeling lean. Guys I am human.

Next thing.. TC took some video of my today.. I will probably post here soon.. I am embarrassed.. When I look at myself in the mirror I don't realise how fat I am. I recommend you get someone to video you and have a look at yourself from the outside..Make it real for yourself. I have improved a lot but being videoed is a real eye opener.. I am more motivated to loose this weight.. If you want motivation to loose weight video yourself.. Really,,,,,, do it.. See yourself from the outside..

G'day

Gday everyone..
This is my blog.. This is also my first Blog.

I little about who I am

I am 41 years old, male, single and work in a government job..
I have been doing weight training for over 20 years now. At one stage I was at a competitive level but never competed..

I have been using the same weights routine for ages but a couple of years ago I started noticing I my lifts were getting less and less an I was experiencing little nagging injuries. But like a good at gym junkie I pressed on. I was also putting on fat but i didn't really care as long as I could still lift heavy things. (Boy I can lie to myself) oh and I hate cardio.

The gym I go has heaps of personal trainers, but frankly, they didn't seem to know what they where doing and there is no way I am taking advice from someone who doesn't know how to lift weights correctly.

I happen to speak to TC one day, who I know call TC Hardcore, and thought he had some great knowledge. We had a lot of similar ideas on training but he was far more researched than I was. He gave me some suggestion on how to improve my training and of course I didn't believe him but I did some research and his ideas where based in sound knowledge. I took them on an saw improvements.

About 5 weeks ago I asked him to help me to achieve my goal of a body transformation. We sat down a made some realistic goals. I want to loose fat but not muscle. I know a lot of people claim they can do this but I can tell you from experience it is not as easy as you may think.

Next TC Hardcore took my measurements so we had a starting point. I get re assessed once a month.. Last Month I lost no weight but reduce my body fat so things are going well.. I didn't loose as much body fat as I wanted but a loss is one step closer to my goal.

Anyway that brings up to now... It is my intention to write my thoughts for the world to see. TC Hardcore will provide you with great info to help you if you decide to follow the journey with me.
