Who, Where, What, Why and How?

Right everyone you'll have to bare with me on this as it is my first post on my very first blog. I suppose the reason for the title above is to set the scene and give you the reasons for starting this page. Last year I began on a quest to change my body from the fat baloon it had become to something that I felt comfortable looking at in the mirror. I undertook a fantastic program called TNT on the Mens Health website. TNT stood for Targeted Nutrition Tactics and was basically a high fat low carb lifestyle combined with ingenious exercise routines. This initial program lasted 12 weeks and then I progressed on to the advanced sessions that were a further 12 weeks. During this time my body underwent some remarkable changes which I documented through a variety of pages on the Mens Health website. After the end of the TNT advance sessions I then moved on to a book of workouts called New Rules of Lifting (NROL) which were written by the same renowed trainer Mr Alwyn Cosgrove. I continued updating and creating pages on the Mens Health website through the TNT links but as of a few days ago these links and pages have disappeared. So hence the leap to this blog.

I wanted to keep people updated about how the training and exercise coupled with diet can change a body over time. I also found that writting the pages within Mens Health rewarding and theraputic also motivational as well. It is sometimes of great benefit mentally in terms of commitment when something is written down in black and white (or whatever font colour you use) but you know what I mean.

I have kept my progress pictures and original starting position so I will try and get some photos on here soon. As to where I am now I have moved through the various plans within TNT and at plan D which has a carb load day (today actually) with carbs in post and pre workout protien shakes. The rest of the time I eat low carb high fat and protien. At this particular point I'm working on adding more muscle and then by about end of March revert back to a fat loss phase where the type of session/ workout I do will change and the eating plan will adjust to Plan A where there's no reload day or carbs in the pre and post workout protien shakes. It's just high fat and low carb (not no carb). Hopefully I will be able to document my journey with thoughts, etcetra including pictures to get the messages across.
