TR vs the future
-
weigh in today; 97.9kg, legs still suffering from those bloody lunges on Sunday!
-
bit of a blip on the weight loss, 97.5 on Wed, 97.9 yesterday and 97.7 this morning. <br />
<br />
Wed was a rest day, but had a good workout last night.<br />
<br />
Am going to change my exercise programme next week to be more specific whereas to date I have been doing more generic stuff to get into a routine. -
don't weight yourself every day - natural fluctuation. Only weight yourself every day in the week leading up to a competition, and as there will never be a week like that (in the foreseeable future I expect), once a week should be fine! I am loving it, once a month when I go and see diet guru pretty much. Last time plesant surtprise, lighter than I thought I'd be, but then should have known, as the belt is still loose enough to wear on the first notch - usually on 2nd by now!!
-
I am using the next notch in on my belts, which is pretty cool.<br />
<br />
I am quite amazed as to how much your weight fluctuates during the course of a day! -
good workout yesterday, some very sore muscles at the end, although feel surprisingly good today. Back from a 35 minute run, finished with a 100m sprint in the scorching sun, again, feeling very good! <br />
<br />
Get some cravings for some of the foods and drinks I have cut out or reduced, given in a couple of times, but just as a treat... -
haha, yeah thats what I didnt say, in moderation <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> <br />
<br />
still having some internal issues now and then, but otherwise and feeling alot better for the change of diet and increase in exercise. -
cos it is the end of the month, I weighed in this morning, 97.0kg, so 6kg in 31 days, pretty happy with that! <br />
<br />
Another good workout today, with some different exercises, day off tomorrow. -
yeah mate, feel pretty good, as I said even when I am running, I feel great, no where near as knackered as I expected, I assume the better diet is giving me greater energy levels.<br />
<br />
Not sure where the 6kg has gone from though :think:...2 more kg to my initial target, will re-assess once there. -
[quote name='BartMan']the beltometer is the best judge I reckon. [B]Pre xmas I was slipping to second hole, but now well back into first hole[/B]!! Is the belt I had when a fat bastard too, so wraps around past my hip!! My reminder.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Two points to make. <br />
<br />
TR, excellent work so far pal.<br />
<br />
Bart, any idea how dodgy the above looks ? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> -
day off yesterday, not sure I will be able to do anything today and already chomping at the bit because of it!! <br />
<br />
That has to be a good thing! -

As a fellow garage weights enthusiast a word of warning. Don't be stupid like me and think "right I benched/curled/cleaned or whatever yesterday" and try and beat it the next day. Very tempting if the weights are just sitting there. You'll only overtrain and get weaker ! -
with the amount of weight I have (~100kg) I dont think there is much chance of that, more variety of exercises, although you cant beat the core ones (as Bart mentioned on another thread) like Squats, bench etc.<br />
<br />
Pretty happy with the way things are ticking over, just wondering where the 6kg has gone from :think: just need to get past the 6kg hurdle, been hovering around it for about a week now -
changed my workouts since last weekend; shoulders, arms and legs, then chest, back and abs on the other day, also throwing in some calisthenic exercises as well.<br />
<br />
Definately getting a better burn from the muscles than I was doing 1 exercise of each during a workout.<br />
<br />
Even better, today I am 95.8kg, STOKED! 7.5/8 kg target down! <br />
<br />
Have acquired a punch bag, but I need to work out how to hang it so that it doesnt shake the house (garage is under the lounge) too much, Ihave a couple of ideas on dampening the bounce from the bag, but will have to see.
