Week 3 & 4 a bust ... ramping it up and changing

I can count on 1 hand how many times I worked out this past 2 weeks. I'm running into a burn out again. I am finding my timing to be the biggest factor. So I have a new plan of action.

0500 (5am) - Circuit training for 1 hour

0700 - Breakfast

0830-1700 (8:30am-5pm) - Work (lunch/dinner around 1400(2pm) at work)

1730-1800 (5:30pm-6pm) - Cardio

2100 (9pm)- Pool

AND ... the cool thing is I have someone meeting up with me at 5:30pm to do the cardio. So I'm looking forward to it!

So basically breaking up my workout into 3 parts during the day. I'm not sure if this will cause burnout quicker throughout the day but I want to test it. Because I know doing the workout in 1 visit burnout happens quick. The mentality is "HAVE TO" instead of "WANT TO". So we'll see what happens.

In regards to food intake. I'm trying something a little different. Breakfast I get the Subway breakfast 6" Flatbread, Ham, White Egg, Pepperjack Cheese, Bell Pepper, Onion, and Jalapeno with a bottle of water. Then usually around 2-3pm I get a footlong club (ham, turkey, roast beef) with all the veggies & mayo/honey mustard that doubles as a lunch & dinner.

So once I re-introduce exercise I expect this alteration to make a difference.

So wish me luck and I'll update ya next week.

Goodbye week 2, Hello week 3

Well week 2 was a total bust! It didn't go at all the way I thought it would. The week started great:

Sunday - Upper body (2 sets of 10) + pool

Monday - Cardio (1 mile @ 4mph) + pool

Tuesday - Abs (2 sets of 10) + pool

And that was it. Something fubar'ed after that and I can't pinpoint it. I know Wednesday for a fact I was tired out of my mind and my intention was to go to bed early at get up at 4:30am and doing the cardio but it just didn't happen. As far as Thursday & Friday goes I have no excuse I could have gone and didn't.

So tonight I begin week 3. This is irregardless of the days missed so that means the sets go up to 3 and I push myself a little harder on the cardio. Not really ready for it but we'll see what happens.

The plus side of food I can say that I am happy for the most part this week the boss brought his lunch, I brought mine so I managed to stay on target for the daily food intake. So I'm happy about that. Yesterday(Saturday) I introduced the HCG drops into the mix that I found online. The only thing is I don't plan on fully following the HCG diet because I disagree with the 500 calorie diet for like a month. So I'll more or less keep my usual intake and keep the drops going to see what happens. A bit of a scientific experiment lol.

Until next time my friends.

Week 1 in review, Week 2 starting

To start this 5 pound weight loss for the week!

I absolutely love the 1st week of working out because its only 1 set of 10. But I held true to my workout regiment and it started last Sunday (26 September) and this is what it looked like:

Sun - Upper body machines (1 set of 10) + pool

Mon - Cardio (1 mile @ 4mph on treadmill) + pool

Tues - Ab machines (1 set of 10) + pool

Wed - Cardio (1 mile @ 4mph on treadmill) + pool

Thu - Strength training (upper & ab machines 1 set of 10) + pool

Fri - Cardio
Sat - Cardio

Friday and Saturday was kind of unique. #1 I didn't get my cardio at the gym. On Friday I we had a new contract to start at work and we had to do the tour at the sites. So we walked for a total of 3 hours between the 2 properties. Then Saturday I took my mom to Six Flags discovery Kingdom and well we were there for 7 hours and I did a TON of walking.

But #2 the other unique thing is Saturday was SUPPOSE to be a day of rest and light stretching and ended up cardio.

So in regards to dieting for the most part I kept my diet on track with what I normally eat. The only thing that changed is Saturday I took in a little more on Breakfast, no lunch, and a big ole 12" sub for dinner. And I think there might've been 1 day where the boss bought something bad and I didn't say go to hell.

So week 2 starts tonight. Ramp up 1 more set of 10 (total of 2). I'll probably keep cardio on the treadmill where it is until my back gets back in shape. Because right now my back hurts walking too much which is from regaining all that weight back. So I gotta recondition it.

So until next Sunday my friends, be well!
