FIT1 - 30 Days On

Posted on April 29, 2016 at 6:05 PM Comments comments (0)



It's been just about a month since I finished the FIT1, which seems an appropriate time to check in on how things stand.


As a reminder, at the end of the FIT1, I weighed in at 10st 4lbs, which brought me 2lbs under my long term weight target.


I had not quite managed to get the clarity of mind and mental energy levels I was seeking but was cons...

FIT1 - The Review

Posted on March 31, 2016 at 5:25 PM Comments comments (0)

So that's it. After 30 days, my FIT1 journey reaches its end.


Did I lose weight? Did I achieve my goals? Am I a new man? Let's find out.


Goals


It's worth a quick reminder of what I was hoping to achieve. Broadly my goals fell into 3 areas;


Weight - a long term weight target had always been 10st 6lbs. Beyond that, I simply wanted to feel comfortable enough with my overall weight and appearance that the number on the...

FIT1 - Week Three Review

Posted on March 21, 2016 at 11:00 AM Comments comments (0)

The start of week 3 and the end of the 30 days is in sight.


My weight has been fluctuating between 10st 4lbs and 10st 5lbs, either of which puts me below my long term weight target of 10st 6lbs.


More importantly though, for the first time I find myself not caring, in a good way. When I look in the mirror, I can clearly see results; my stomach is flatter, my moobs have gone, even my biceps are showing definition! Bottom line is that this is working and I am ...

FIT1 - Day Three

Posted on March 3, 2016 at 10:05 AM Comments comments (0)

Only a couple of days in and it's hard work so far.


The first day of exercies really clobbered me. Whether it was due to poor warming up and stretching or just lack of use, my leg muscles are really tight to the point that I'm seriously wondering how I'll be able to do this every day.


Elsewhere, I find my mind continually going back to wondering why I am doing this, questioning the value of it all. What is my end goal? That has today been joined by a new wo...

FIT1 - Day One

Weight and measurements


Ideally I would start with a set of measurements to baseline the plan but with three little maniacs running around the house, I ran out of time. Overnight changes are unlikely so I will measure up this evening.


A day one weigh in puts me at 10st 8lbs. That is 1lb over my recent best but 4lbs down on my post-C9 weight. A good starting point then.


Smile For The Camera


Here I am on day o...

FIT1 - What's In The Box?

Posted on February 29, 2016 at 4:05 PM Comments comments (0)



Readers of my Clean 9 blog will be familiar with the basic contents of the FIT1 box but let's take quick look inside.


As before, Aloe Gel forms the basis of the plan. I'll be chugging 120ml of this bad boy each morning to help with digestion, nutrient absoption and lots of other good stuff besides. There are 4 bottles included to see you through the 30 days.

Detox Diaries - FIT1

Posted on February 28, 2016 at 4:35 PM Comments comments (0)


When I embarked on the Clean 9 Challenge in January, I was sceptical. I had done some pre-reading and saw that lots of people reported weight loss but it wasn't sold as a diet plan, rather a cleanse, a way to kick start a healthier you. I wasn't sure what I would get ...
