my server is down! Well not really, it’s due to the UK not able to connect to the server which is in the US.

Pretty disappointed as I wanted to post about my day…

Well here goes on wordpress.com….

Today I went on site at work, in the freezing and foggy cold!! I walked more than 3 hours straight in the cold. My hands were freezing and I couldn’t even write the measurement we took on site properly.

After I came back to the office I felt really sleepy, I was not too worried. But I started to doze off while talking to someone. Its not that they are boring, I was just somehow really sleepy.

I was gonna go to the gym today, but gave up as I was really dozing off, even while driving.I nearly slept on the wheels on motorway. I just closed my eyes for 1-2 seconds and it felt soo good, i didn’t want to open it. But I had to keep myself awake….

Well I am going to sleep now.., to fill my bodies desire.

here is my new blog

Yesterday i’ve done quite a bit of cardio and core exercise.

This was my programme

• 16min running/interval maxed at 11km/h
• 10min rowing (finally done it, before i could only do around 6min)
• 3 sets of crunches
• 3 sets of twisted situps
• 3 sets of leg raises
• 7min (1mile run)
• stretches

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.

I hope i get enuf time ….

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.

A lot of people seems to be pushing themselves a bit too much and hurt themselves when doing weights. From reading a few article and some past experience a quick way of knowing when you are doing too much weights is understanding your body.

For example you have to see the responce of your body when lifting the weights around your 5th time, if you feel that your are making faces or your body or muscle is shaking drop down a few weight and just increase your rep.

Example:

if you are doing some triceps lifts starting at 25kg, your first 5 lift will seem easy but when you reach the 6th or 7th lift you seem that you are struggling to push it all the way up. You would normally feel a shake on your arm. Drop it down and drop a block of weight down to 21kg and do another 1-2 sets of 8 or 12 depending on what you had planned. I normally plan for 3 sets of  12 but if i feel I can’t do the new weights I go for 3 sets of 12 on a lower weight and 2 more sets of 8. This is good if you want to increase your endurance.

I have been attending gym for 6 months now and it feels great and I have seen results in the first 4 months but when i hit month 5 it went down the drain. In May I have been eating too much due to exams and lack of workout.

For the last 3-5 weeks I have gain a little and hit a plateau where nothing is changing.

I have done some reading and it seems that because of the pause in my routine it has affected my workout programme which affected my weight and diet.
So I have decided to change my routine and to change my gym routine fully.

Before I use to go 2-3 times a week at the gym now I am planning to go for it 3-4 times a week where I will be having cardio days and weight days.

My normal workout use to be:

15min jogging/warmup/sprint at max speed of 10-11 km/h
5min stretch
6min rowing
15min jogging/running/interval training
3 rep crunches
5min stretch

My new programme is based on an article in Men’s Health magazine where the programme is to do workout 5 days a week with cardio on Tuesday, Thursday and weights on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

I will post my new programme soon and post the outcomes of it.

I am B, I am a student on a part-time degree with a wonderful job.

I am starting this blog so that i have somewhere where i can express myself fully without anyone knowing who i really am.

I don’t want to give away to much about myself so that people don’t get offended when i talk about them.
