Today I’ve done some strength training all around. Here is what I have done:

• 10 min warmup
• 4 sets on lat pullups
• 4 sets on triceps
• 3 sets on triceps+chest pushdowns
• 3 sets on quad
• 3 sets on quad curls
• 4 sets on chest push
• 3min rewarmup
• 3 sets of crunches
• 3 sets of leg raises

It seems that I now need to increase activity on my core and find new techniques, I will try to save up and pay for a personal trainer to teach me some new activities to do to keep me at it for a few weeks so that I don’t get bored.

Today I ate 2/3 of an ice-cream and threw the rest away, I was just craving for one after dinner. So the ice-cream intake just came around 120cal (its the mini magnum with double caramel.

I also started to feel some joint pain, I might get some jointace.

I am also planning on getting a new pair of shoes tomorrow

But in other news:

I have started to get a good hang on my food intake for two weeks now, I have lowered my choco intake aswell as sugar intake. I have replaced them with fruits and other nutrients with fructose.

I did have one little bit of choco and diet coke on Sunday under moderation as I didn’t want to turn like those people who starve themselves silly of life.

Last week I didn’t lose much weight but I did quite well on performance from a quick check up at the weights now compared to what I was doing a few weeks ago.

I am still at 100kg and that did dip down to 98 on Wednesday last week but it got back up by Saturday. While analysing what I was doing, I felt that over done it with a subway.

But now this week I am going to increase my activity to see if there is any change. Below is my programme for this week.

Monday (Cardio + core)

• 10 min jogging running
• 4 sets of 8 Chest at 28 or 21kg
• 3 min jog
• Stretch
• 6 min rowing
• 10min jogging/running
• 3 sets of two core exercise

Tuesdays will be posted on Monday, it will be more of an intensive weight lifting on the upper body.

Wednesday will be full cardio with rowing

• 7 min warmup
• Stretch (full extent)
• 6-10min rowing
• 15min running on an incline of 1 or 2
• 3 sets of two core exercise

Thursday and friday will be posted soon. I will also be posting my daily intake if possible but it would be around the same thing everyday.
