Day Three of BFL

It's now day three of the 84 days for the Body For Life program to reinvent my body image and get rid of past bad habbits. It has so far been an interesting experience and the program does seem to have a real impact (well at least on feeling like I am doing something). We had our fitness trainer do all our measurements of muscles and work out our body fat percentage. I was really really suprised because I had a little over 11% body fat which is quite a lot higher than six months ago. But I suppose I can understand this because the last few months we have not been eating well and I have not spent so much time at the gym for one reason or another.

The idea of working out to my own intensity levels is very difficult, because traditionally I have worked towards "weights" rather than intensity. One of the things I have found with this new way of working out is that I actually have to really pile on the weights to reach the intensity level I want to. Maybe this means that I haven't been working out to my full potential for a while? Who knows?

We are trying to make sure that we do keep to the six meal a day, low fat diet and so far we have almost been achieving it, but it is really difficult and especially having to drink up to four litres of water a day! I am forever running off to the toilet because I am having so much water, and that is driving me mad LOL
