I just realised how fast weight training can put KG on yourself. I dropped 2kg in 2 weeks of cardio, and when I done 1 session of weights I’ve gained 1kg back and the following day i got my 2 weeks worth of weight loss back.

So what I am going to do now is cardio all the way to lose 5kg and do 1 session of weight lifting then cardio another 5kg then do 1 session of weight lifting.

Or i could do light weight just to keep them firm and that is about it.

I’ll have to play around with this so that I can get a perfect programme.

The thing that annoys me about this is that my main goal is to lose weight but as well as tone up. Should I lose the weight and then tone up or do both at the same time and not lose actual weight? my healthy weight is 15kg less than what I am currently.

Today i ran my first 5km straight with little rest as possible with an average of 9km/h

I had my sprints up to 13km/h for at least 1 min and had rests up to 2min.
I’ve also lost quite a bit of weight since i started this new programme of mine 2 weeks ago. I am currently 97kg from 101 which i was 1 week and a bit ago.

I feel great, very healthy and not to tired. It also seems that on the days I do get my rest I feel very down and lack of energy the following day. I think  I’m addicted to training, i just have to go down the gym even for a 30min run or weight, i just feel like i have to.

ill add some more to my training as soon as i get some time.

Overall i like what i have achieved so far in 2 weeks.!!

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.

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
