TR vs the future
-
I decided on a couple of New Years resolutions, one being to lose some kegs and get myself into shape and eat better.<br />
<br />
So as at 0800 on 01 January 2012, I weighed 103kg, by the 12th I had dropped to 99kg, and then had a hiccup with some internal issues resulting in my weight yo-yo-ing between 99-100, but the internal issue seems to have resolved itself since Tuesday and today I was 98.9kg, first time in a long time I can recall being under 99kg. <br />
<br />
Diet changes; <br />
<br />
eat breakfast<br />
more fruit/veg<br />
reduce bread consumption<br />
increase tuna/salmon intake<br />
ditch Mocha's at work (I don't drink them elsewhere) <br />
increase water intake<br />
<br />
My target weight is 95kg at this stage, although once I get there I'll see if I want to drop any further.<br />
<br />
Ultimately, I'd also like to lose an inch or 2 from around the middle while toning up a little as well.<br />
<br />
My workout programme is fairly basic at present; I have a bench, about 80kg of weights, a straight bar, a curl bar, a pair of dumbells, a floor to ceiling punch ball, a 10kg medicine ball and a pair of kettle bells (20lb and 15lb) and a swiss ball<br />
<br />
I am just more getting myself back into the routine of doing regular exercise before I look at more specific workouts.<br />
<br />
Is also hard to do a workout when TR Jnr is wanting to join in and get me to show him how to do things <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /><br />
<br />
Probably should take some images too, but I think I'll just do some before after ones <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> -
Top stuff Wayne and first of all well done on getting in to the double digits....a milestone in itself!<br />
<br />
Looks like you have identified some good diet changes there. And a reasonable selection of weights there too which you will be able to put to good use. Add in a bit of cardio (maybe jogging etc) and I reckon you will be on top of your goals in no time. -
Good work bro! having a thread running certainly helps you keep trucking toward your goals.

just finished a pretty good workout, more an anaerobic one, but sweating buckets and feel bloody good.<br />
<br />
weighed in at 98.7kg this morning as well, was thinking I reckon it's been at least 5 years since I have been under 99kg! <br />
<br />
So feeling pretty happy with progress so far, even if I did sneak a small peice of pizza when work got some in this afternoon... -
weigh in yesterday; 98.4kg (and today) <br />
<br />
bit of swimming with my son, then came home and waterblasted the fence clean, then went for a run; 25mins, finish with running up my steep arse hill, surprisingly, felt really good, wasnt as knackered as I thought I'd be, except as it came to the final 300m which is pretty steep! -
good workout yesterday afternoon, sweated loads out in the afternoon heat.<br />
<br />
Weigh in this morning; 98.1kg (-4.9kg) <br />
<br />
day off workout today -
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...
