Day23

Triple cardio today.
This wasnt on purpose but I had to ride my bike to the bike shop and back at lunch time.
consentrated on my ABS this evening and think i should be doing much more of this. I can feel more muscle developing in this area and I know that as the fat goes i will start to show something of a six pack. It might not be much of one but this will be its first ever outing so I will be happy when it arrives.

One thing im very pleased with my self for is having made two lunches to take to work every day. I have done this without fail since I started and it has made a massive differance to not snacking on bad foods. each meal consists of either tuna chicken or turkay and a salad.

Day 3 of oats for breakfast is suiting me fine. I am having a far smaller portion of this but am not getting hungry before my 11am meal.

All is looking positive. I will be weighing in and measuring my body fat on Friday. I will publish the results Friday night.

Take it easy, not too easy...

Day22

Time is absolutely flying past at the moment.
It really doesnt feel like 22 days in. Its a good job there are a whole
load more days to go because I want to see some big changes and that is
going to take some time.
A good day today for cardio weights and nutrition. One thing I have
changed this week is my breakfast, I have swaped from kellogs bran
flakes to oats. This seems ok and means that i have a warm breakfast
before getting out on my bike.

My shoulder is on the mend and I did three sets of 12 dips tonight.

Last week I went off the rails one night and ate a load of chocolate. I obviously dont want this
to happen again and so on a few occasions I have had a few handfulls of cerial just to get me past the hunger. this has worked well and it is better to have a few extra cals of cerial rather than
hundreds of calories of chocolate.

Below are day22 photos.
Take it easy, not too easy...

Day21

I feel great.
Good nutrition, good cardio, good lifting.

Yesterday I saw a change in my photos for the first time. Also I can feel a differance in my own body fat. This is not a scientific 
measurable but you know when you can feel the differance.

I was able to use a 60kg barbell for 15 minutes today so I made good use and did three sets of 12 reps. My legs went wobley but it was great. I hope to be able to increase the weight in the near future.

My shoulder is still painfull but although I should rest it further, I dont want to loose my routine. I will continue to take it easy on this shoulder.

21 days into my diet and im still putting on weight. is this right???

Take it easy, not too easy.

Day20

Positive, Positive, Positive.

Rest day and also cheat meal day combined, Its been good and although ive taken the pics i dont expect to see any change. As much as I would like to think I was ready for this, its obviouse to me that I am still learning all the way through. Slight changes here and there so that I dont become to comfortable with my diet and fitness at any point.

My photos dont seem to be showing the change in weight that im able to see for my self in the mirror. I think that the camera flash means that the changes arent visable. Perhaps I will experiment with either photoshop levels or put the camera in a differant place.

Take care.

Day19

Today has been an all vegetable soup day with no protein, It doesnt feel to bad but I couldnt lift as much weight tonight. Im looking forward to my breakfast in the morning.

I feel that after a bit of a binge one night last week, im back into my diet and getting on ok. I need to step up my cardio but it seems to have been raining here for the last 3 weeks non stop.

The food recepies are getting a bit tiresome so I think ill change them about a bit.

Take care.

Day18

Its Friday night so just some pics below.

Day17

I didnt get any cardio in today as i needed to take the car to work and tomorrow looks like downpours all day. 
I am going to have to think about this seriously and what I can do to remedy it. 
Getting to a gym will be very difficult but I think it may turn out to be my only option. 
I will investigate further tomorrow.
I guess I will have to take Michaels lead and start getting up really early and get to the gym 
on the way to work.

My shoulder is still playing me up and so ive concentrated on legs and abs again today. Nutrition was far better than yesterday and I resisted the biscuits in the office.

Day 17 photos below. One day you will be able to see a difference.

Take care.

Day16

I am full of chocolate... I know  I know.

A bit of a day off today. Can you believe this? I have been dieting hard for 2 weeks now and I have gained weight. This sounds awful but Ive dropped from 20% to 15.9% body fat, and that is a good thing.

My weight training has become a bit difficult. This is because I have a very limited gym which consists of two 20kg dumbells and a big inflatable ball. I have now maxed out on most exercises and can do loads of reps. What I need to be able to do is up the weights now and bring my reps back down and my weights back up. This is going to take some thought. Ive managed 1 hour of cardio each day this week but tomorrow I have to take the car to work. Hopefully Friday I will be back on my bike.

Think Strong..

Day15

Im really struggling at the moment not to lift up the dumbbells. My shoulder is loads better but i really need to leave it for a few more days. Still did good cardio today and an ab workout.

Riding through town today on my way home, all I could smell was the curry houses and fast food restaurants. It really did smell good but I had to keep going.

Im looking forward to a cheat meal at the weekend. I hope my measurements go well on Friday.

Below are day 15 pics.
Think strong.

Stu.

Day14

Extra cardio and a big workout on legs and ABS tonight. The clock is clicking and I hope I have just raised the bar a little. I need to be inching it up daily in order to achieve my goal. I used my dinner time to get out on my bike but the weather is awful at the moment so im less than inspired. I will keep at it and use the time to my advantage.

I looked through Adams day 1 to day 14 blog and was really shocked at his change in just two weeks. Im seeing why it took him a number of attempts to get his routine just how he wanted it.

Lots of things to do tonight so only a short entry.
