I've tried this countless times, but never really stuck to it - but really got to get my act together. I'm sick of being the age I am and looking the way I do.

So, background: I'm 31, 13.5 stone, training 7 years. Trying to loose a bit of my gut then plan to bulk up. Have two injuries - lower back (now mostly under control) and neck (only recently stopped giving me bother after injuring it doing military presses last June).

I'm currently following this diet:
Protein : 285 g
Carbs: 100/70g (training/non-training)
Calories : 2850

And my routine looks like this:
Monday: weights (8 reps, 4 sets)
Tuesday: HIIT 10 mins
Wednesday: weights (12 reps, 3 sets)
Thursday: HIIT 15 mins
Friday: circuits - as many reps as possible in 4 exercises x 3
Saturday: HIIT 20 mins

I've lost 1 stone on this (since August) then I stopped the intensity as my neck started getting sore again. Hopefully the fact that it hasn't given me much bother since December is a good sign I won't be hindered by it.

Haven't been to the gym in the past week due to a cold; but going to get back on this tomorrow. Last time I was in the gym I was pushing the same weights I was before my injury - and I'm 1 stone lighter now.

There's some pics in my profile - will take some new ones to mark the start of this log.
