Well done Hoobs!!! I bet you feel great after that! So a 10K in MAy but nothing else before that?? It must feel good training for something specific rather than just training.

Ruth, is that called Body Vibe? I've never heard of Les Mills Core, are you sure it's a Les Mills program? Sounds good though, any core work is tough but as you get better at it you'll really see some benefits

The 12 week challenge has been...challenging!!! I am getting used to it now but it has been really hard. The food side of things is getting easier but i'm really missing salt and cheese! Exercise wise I thought would be easier than it is. I've had to modify my cardio training as I was going so hard on the rower that I rubbed off a heap of skin under my coccyx and between my bum cheeks! Ouch! So i'm going to be running instead. I can already see changes although at the moment just looking skinnier which is not what I want My PT is also a bit cranky as he knows my history (long story - but i've been in recovery for anorexia for 4 years) and said to me on Tues if I lose too much weight he will take me off the challenge The thing is I am doing everything he says and I am eating 5-6 meals a day. I think it's from dropping all the alcohol.

Ruth - what do you want to achieve? Is it fat loss, muscle growth, strength, endurance??? I can do programming now so if you let me know when you can train and what times etc I could help you create a plan. I wouldn't be able to tell you actual weights/distances/levels etc but I can tell you how to work it out
