I started jogging in 2010 to lose weight. Just being able finish a 4km run was a massive achievement for me as I've never been a runner, EVER. I lost about 7kg's which was fantastic but I was still skinny-fat with a bodyfat percentage of 21%. My diet was reasonably clean - no sugar, caffeine or dairy and only the occasional alcoholic beverage. Lots of fruit and vegetables.

January 2012, I started seeing a personal trainer who pointed out that my diet was a bit carb heavy and encouraged me to go "primal". That is lots of meat, high quality sources of fat, lots of vegetables, a small amount of fruit and NO FLOUR OR GRAINS. He also advised me to centre my training around weights and resistance training and swap cardio workouts for HIIT.

Now average between 14-15% bodyfat and weight between 49-51kg.

It is one of the few areas of my life where I am in total control. I love that I can change my body through sheer determination and hard work. It is a great feeling to reach a fitness goal and feel that I've accomplished something great.
