Hi guys, its been a while since I posted here but posting a training log here helped me last time. I am at 266lbs and though I am not sure what my bodyfat is, I can tell you that it is over 20%. My goal body fat is 11%. Part of my problems have come from prescription drugs but I have got most of the nasty ones out of the way now, so I am sure the weight will fall off me. Another problem was lifting: I hate to say it, but when you are stuffing your face for energy (and fat even), it can help powerlifts. So this log will run from now until September 20, by which time I should be a fraction under 16 stone (224). I will not be lifting heavy: mostly cardio (running, cross-trainer, skipping, bag work, swimming etc) I'll try to update this everyday. Jazzo Feel free to add in any tips. I know my lifting, but I only know the basics of hardcore cardio training.
Yes, my diet is pristine. I am enjoying a little extra tonight, but my diet consists of the following: Brown rice, tuna, eggs (raw), salmon steak, All Bran Cereal with Full Milk, soup (mainly beef broth, vegetable and Cream of tomato)* red meat on Sundays (lean mince usually) and green veg. Of course, I switch it up every 6 weeks, but the essentials remain the same. I only drink whey when I am lifting heavy. *I always put tuna in my soup
Thank you for the tune Mr Kool. It is appreciated. Today I went for a 5 mile walk, a light swim, and looked for some weightlifting shoes. Yes, I said I would not be lifting, but I need a decent pair for the times I squat and deadlift. Usually I don't wear any shoes when doing these lifts.
Thursday 19th of March. Went for a 2 mile run at 4 am. I felt like I was going to die. This is going to take a while :-( On the plus side, I am back into this whole training thing.
I have severe trouble sleeping so I just didn't go to bed! Still haven't slept, but I will probably collapse sometime soon. Seriously, if I want a reasonable sleeping pattern I need to take handfuls of meds.
Friday 20 March. Target workout: 1 hour on cross trainer in the cardio zone. 5 minute sprint on rowing machine. 5 mile walk. Light swim. Then an ice bath when I get home. Edit: Completed.
Target for Saturday 21st. 10am 1 hour on cross trainer. 5 minute sprint on rowing machine. Circuit training (machines - I'm just getting warmed up). Abdominal work. Swim.
