Breaking through barriers

So many would be forgiven for thinking that I have fallen off the wagon again, after not having posted anything in some time. Well, I'm pleased to say that I haven't. Actually if you follow my Facebook or Twitter feeds you would have heard some more (though not much more) from me.

Anyway, I have great news. For the last 4 or so weeks I have been stuck with my weight fluctuating between 117kg and 118kg. This has been a little frustrating to say the least because of all the noticeable improvements I have been making with the personal training sessions Brad has been taking me through. Well no more. I just weighed myself and I came in at 116.3kg. Even better though is the scales give a fat % measurement, which has never gone below 28.5%, this time, 26.5%.

On the movement front

It is also just over a month since I started working with Brad and so we did a bit of a little reassessment of my movement patterns and stability. Long story short (great band by the way if only they would update their website, in case their reading…), the improvements were in credible. Not just being able to do them smoother but the balance and stability, amazing difference.

I'm running again

The last week also saw me go for the first proper run. Using the run/walk approach, I went out with Brad for 45mins. If I'm honest, still a very long way to go, but it was the first time I actually felt like I was running and didn't have any of the aches and pains that I had been having whenever I attempted to job a little bit.

So overall I am feeling quite inspired by the barriers I have broken through in the last week. Yah me!
