Fitz_Hulk Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Who am I? I'm 24, female, living in Melbourne, Australia and studying for a BA while working part time. I've tried to get into a habit of fitness and healthy eating many times but I always seem to fall off the wagon. So right now I'm focussing on doing fewer things but doing them really well. THING ONE: LIFTING I have the old Rebel Strength workout ebook and I'm working through the Barbell Battalion, rank 1. I'm focussing on hitting my workouts every time, taking time for warming up and cooling down, and great form while lifting. That's all I'm focussing on right now. Everything else will come with time.

Fitz_Hulk Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 My next thing I'm going to focus on is food, followed by mobility (mostly yoga). I followed Staci's meal prep guide on Monday this past week so I've been eating okay lunches (one day I had it so early with work I had a second lunch, and yesterday my mum took me out for lunch) and I also prepped breakfasts so I've been following that pretty well, too. Slow going, though, because I don't want to push too hard and eat a whole ice cream cake.

Fitz_Hulk Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I also did some accessory stuff yesterday. I want to be able to do a pull up by the end of the year so I'm doing some shoulder and back stuff on Sundays, as well as mobility stuff and core work because I have ongoing back and neck problems, woohoo! Also, I am trying out the whole 4 week challenge deal again this time around. Link's in my signature.
