TRAINING UPDATE - NEW PR

Upped my Deadlifts to 60 kg on Saturday. Although I thought my form was not exactly perfect at that load, plenty of rounding of back and shoulders. I suspect this is my max for some time though. Unless I start training this heavy more frequently than once a week, I probably won't see any further increase in loading for months to come.

I hope we get to do squats next Saturday. I want to see where I am now. Suspect around 30 kg to 40 kg back squats.

Note to self - need to improve upper body strength. C'est terrible now....

Started keeping a food and training log to see if it would help me to meet the target fat loss of 2 kg by mid May set by my coach. I am not too stressed about it, but it would be nice to be able to report something positive by the dateline. Well, it seems so far that I am not eating too badly, I just have to start eating less. So....here we go.

A colleague at work came to me for advice on losing weight last week. Unlike some others who had asked me before, she was actually willing to continue listening once I informed her that I took no shortcuts and had no magic pills. I was happy to share (imagine that, me giving nutrition and exercise advice! Me!). I will keep track of her progress with interest. May bring her to bootcamp if she is interested.

I am staring at the container of almonds/peanuts that I have prepared for work. Have to put it away now before I succumb. Mid May.....mid May......
