This week’s aim is to lose 1-2kg from full frontal cardio while keeping a good diet running. i will also try to aim to sleep early and finish my book on nutrition.

To lose my 1-2 KG i am aiming to do cardio 3-4 times a week with at least 3km of running and increasing my slow run from 6km/h to 7-8km/h. Or increase my incline from2.5 to 3 or 4.

I will try to include some core exercise on the odd days but all my cardio this will should include at least 6-8min rowing. I will also aim on trying a new stretch move and keeping my stretch routine constant throughout.

This should do the trick in losing fat and gaining some core muscle.

I will also aquire myself a fat scale from Amazon or Argos. This will depend entirely on the shipping cost on amazon.

I will also try to venture into golds’ gym to see if they provide better equipment and service. But that will rely on parking space availability. I will also try to change my contract from 3months to yearly at fitness first Harrow so that it becomes cheaper on a monthly basis as I am clear now that my new hobby is health and fitness.

Health and fitness has now become my hobby as there is just more to running on treadmill is also understanding your body and what it can do. Its basically a cheap science to study. I read books and try out new things, and if it does not work I disregard it. what more its fun and I am winning on it.

The best part is that its the first time that I am enjoying my body and realise that there is a need for me to lose weight to gain social respect and point as our current society relies on the fitess between us to win. yes, I know it sounds like I’ve given in to it saying yes people on tv governs how we should all look. And it does people with high fat % on them are more likely to get a heart attack then someone with less fat. But I am not looking at the extreme fit people in the world that pukes to get thin. i look up to people who knows what they doing nutritionally and physically.

Well enough said for now, it seems im blabering too much.

Side note

my co-workers at my job found that i was on a strict diet. It sort of went a bit awkward when i explained what I was doing. As they eat a lot, and I explained i was eating 6 meals a day and it got into a little argument. and i was pissed  off when they said i was eating too much or in a weird diet. But i explained. and when i said i tried to keep off sugar and chocolate (which i meant confectionary, sweets) i just got a bit defensive about it, when one of them said you had sugar in your tea, well yeah i do, but its not confectionery or chocolate they stuff  in through the day.

What more they could all use a little of physical activity, they drink, eat a lot. And one of them goes to the gym but eats a lot of food at work. Common, if you were going to go to the gym to get fit and lose some, why not stay away from the fatty foods. She might aswell not go and as she is wasting her money on the gym membership if she is eating that way afterwards.

This is because I am not used to talk about my physical fitness to people and what more what I eat and how eat.

Common that is not there problem, but it ended me speaking out a bit too much as i didn’t want them to get involve in what i do.
