New number mutha****ah!!!! Whoo! :happy

* Speed rope - 3 x 5 minute rounds
Decided to reduce my speed rope workout, which is usually quite brisk and challenging, to see if I could get a bit ore quality in my heavy bag workout footwork wise.

* Heavy bag - 5 x 5 minute rounds
And indeed it helped. The legs were lighter and had way better movement around the bag. Yes I plan to jack my workout back up in order to increase general fitness, it just felt good to be able to step into the jab a bit better. Still shitty bag workout. Just not as shitty. :thumbsup

* Speed bag - 3 minutes cooldown
It just did my head in today...

* Treadmill - 30 minutes
Pace 10km/h, one half paced break of 2:30 for a total run of 27:30, 2:30 active rest. Guess I made up for the rope and speed bag with an increased jog.

If I don't drop back into the double digits within 3 weeks at this rate I'll be highly surprised. I'll probably slice through about 10kgs with relative ease before my progress stalls and I need to change it up. But for now it's smooth sailing!

Just hooking into a berry & 2% breakfast shake now. Ditched my house-mate's protein because I read the label today... It's ****ing formulated for women! atsch ****s sake I'm tryin' to lose the titties, not grow new ones. :-(

Probably gonna have a rest day tomorrow... 4 days on, 1 day off is okay for now. Plus I'm gonna see the Wu-Tang Clan! RZA, GZA, Raekwon, Inspektah Deck, Cappadonna, Masta Killa and U-God are confirmed! Gonna be ****in' epic!

Decided to dodge the rest day... Reason being that I worked out well yesterday and then went on to do some more good walking and supplemented that with great eating! Healthy breakfast, light lunch, then visited my mother out in Western Sydney. She'd made this ****ing fanstastic casserole with massive chunks of steak and carrot all through it. Threw on a plate with 2 potatoes and green beans... :tired Beats the hell out of my canned garbage dude food.

And so I felt a bit like a kid on christmas morning, hoping the scales gave me a good present.

:happy Another new number mutha****ah!!!

* Speed rope - 5 x 3 minute rounds
Shortly after I started my rope work I noticed two really pretty women on those stepping exercise machines nearby and I heard one of them say "Look how good that guy is at skipping...". I did the best rope session I've done yet.

Ah vanity. Definitely my favourite sin! :thedevil1

* Heavy bag - 5 x 3 minute rounds
The 5 days in a row was definitely taking it's toll by then. Felt extremely sluggish for the rest of my workout, starting with the bag. I am happy however with the amount of torque I'm getting from my torso when I throw a 1, 2. Sensed a real improvement. My transition to the hook still sucks though...

* Speed bag - 5 minutes cool down
Moderate pace.

* Treadmill - 30 minutes
Pace 10km/h, incline 1.5, two half paced breaks of 2:30. Grueling. Terrible. Even my feelings were hurting when I limped off that thing.

Been a pretty good week. Maybe treat myself with a beer or two before the Wu-Tang show tonight! :hey Wu-Tang!

 

They're playing MegaRampage in Melbourne, but that's not coming to Sydney, the Wu are just doing a side show up here. There was practically no ****ing advertising for it, either! We'd known about the Melbourne show for a couple of months and they only announced their Sydney gig a couple of weeks ago!

After a forced rest day due to a hangover I was ready to get back into it. I'd spent the first part of my rest/recovery watching old episodes of south park and drinking healthy smoothies, but it eventually came back up in the form of purple, berry flavoured chunder... Had to go to the Japanese place in the foodcourt for some comfort food... Kara'age on rice with yakidori, did the trick if not a little bit fatty... Drank 2 litres of juice over the course of the day before having white rice with tuna for dinner. Bit of a carby day but could have been worse.

Exciting number but proved to be deceptive (As I suspected it would)... My body still hadn't re-hydrated properly from the pisser 2 nights previous.

* Speed rope - 5 x 3 minute rounds
Somewhat forgiving on myself today. I managed to maintain an overall moderate pace but was a little sparing with the sprint bursts and double unders.

* Heavy bag - 6 x 3 minute rounds
Decent workout today. Throwing a lot of power shots in the early going before relaxing into a bit more of a stick-and-move session. The last round felt pretty good in regards to pace and movement.

* Speed bag - 5 minutes cool down
Moderate pace.

* Treadmill - 30 minutes
Pace 10km/h, 1.5 incline, one half paced break of 2:30 for 27:30 run, 2:30 active rest. One more week at this pace and I'll jack it up.

Given I drank about 5 litres of water (Not exaggerating) I think it's a pretty good number and represents a small loss from my last workout, which is always good for a rest day... I'm hoping that by weeks end (I'll be calculating monday to monday) I'll have lost 2-3kgs.

* Speed rope - 5 x 3 minute rounds
Still a little lenient on myself with the rope today. Have to knock it up a notch next time...

* Treadmill - 30 minutes
Pace 10km/h, incline 1.5, 2 half paced breaks of 2:30 for 25 mintes run 5 minutes active rest. This was not particularly challenging. Might think about increasing the difficulty a little sooner that week 3. Though I am starting to get pains in my left shin, may be time for some new trainers...

* Heavy bag - 5 x 3 minute rounds
I could give a little more to the bag but I was happy with my power combo's and double-jab.

* Speed bag - 3 minutes cool down
It was pissing me off so I only did 3 minutes... :conf

Pretty good number, all thing considered! I'll be pushing my luck if I go too much longer without introducing some variety, but I am quite overweight right now, always suspected I'd get a bit of a weight loss "Rush" to start things off. Solid first week.

Not bad considering I got pissed twice and ate a little junk food... But I'll need to do better in weeks to come. No more ****ing around. Helps that all the good concerts have come and gone, too...

A fat piece of ****! :deal

 

Yeah, my eating can be a bit sporadic. I've made some rough notes here and there mainly when I do something particularly good or bad. I tend to include them in my ramblings rather than in my more viewer-friendly, multi-coloured exercise layouts.

After the NaS/Chali 2na gig last night I get a couple of tiger pies because I was pissed. atsch But I did a pretty good workout that morning and had only eaten a bowl of rice (boiled up 1/3 metric cup) with a small can of tuna... One of my diet staples! Still not ideal though...

(****ity ****ing infernal Melbourne cup day. **** that damn horse race)

Well I spent my rest day eating like an absolute dick. I piled in on a stupid amount of crispy chicken, prawn tempura and tuna salad varieties of sushi, blowing about 3 days worth of refined carbohydrate quota out of the water. I also hydrated on ALDI apple and Mango juice ($1.89 for 2 litres, ALDI ****ing rules). So it was no surprise when I stepped on the scales this morning...

Not a number I was too happy to see, but I could have expected no better from my shitty eating. Still represents a good loss from week 1.

* Speed rope - 5 x 3 minute rounds
Much more honest effort today than other days. Overall a good, challenging rope session...

* Heavy bag - 5 x 3 minute rounds
I'm feeling good about my power combos at the moment, but I think I'm getting some nasty RSI or some **** in my elbows. I noticed it coming on last workout but today it started to get ridiculous. Round 3 onward I really had to take it easy with the hooks and rips. Might need to do some weighted shadowboxing for a week or so... :think

* Speed bag - 5 minutes cool down
Fast to moderate pace.

* Treadmill - 30 minutes
Speed 10km/h, incline 1.5, 2 half paced breaks of 2:30 for 25 minutes run, 5 minues active rest. Sydney is getting it's first taste of ******* summer weather right now and The treadmill workout was an absolute **** fight because of it. Felt sluggish, sweaty and the air was as thick as cream. Would have gladly swapped Rocky Balboa for his icy Russian mountain out of Rocky 4. ****!

* Speed rope - 3 x 3 minute rounds
I must say I am getting a bit tired of jumping that ******* rope. Moderate session.

* Heavy bag - 5 x 3 minute rounds
Volume was good today but took it easy with the power shots due to joint pain in my elbows.

* Speed bag - 5 minutes cool down
Moderate pace.

* Treadmill - 30 minutes
Pace 10km/h for the first 15 minutes followed by 5 minutes at 10.5km.h, 2:30 active rest at 5km/h, 6:30 at 10.5 km/h, last minute 12km/h. Total of 27:30 run 2:30 active rest.

A nice new low after a very disciplined day of eating yesterday. This morning I've had the usual frozen berry smoothie with 2% milk but unfortunately caved to temptation and ate a caramel muffin that one of my house-mates offered me. ****ing enablers! All good, I'll be eating not but boiled rice and Tuna for lunch and dinner. Fingers crossed I can crack below 104 by weeks end...

I made up for my caramel breakfast muffin and then some yesterday, eating 1/3 metric cup of rice (Uncooked state) boiled with a small tin of flavoured tuna for lunch, another small tin of flavoured tuna for a snack... And a smoothie for dinner. :-( That **** wasn't easy. But I got a good pre-workout number...

* Speed rope - 5 x 3 minute rounds
Hectic rope session today. :smoke 2 sprints per round and body cross double-unders to finish each round. Angry workout. Felt awesome!

* Treadmill - 30 minutes
Pace 10.5km/h, incline 1.5, I half paced break of 2:30 for 27:30 run, 2:30 active rest. A good challenging run, I'm lifting the bar in general in regards to cardio at the moment... Getting into the workout "Zone"... Overall my mind is much stronger.

But Unfortunately for me and my zone there were ****ing yoga & kickboxing classes on in the boxing are of my gym all morning! I finished my run and decided to read the paper for the 30-45 minutes it would take for their classes (And seemingly endless cool down stretches) to finish, but I lost my sweat and my warm-up sitting there. My joints went cold and I knew I would have to start from scratch. If there's anything that pisses me off it's

****! I guess it's 10 rounds of heavy bag tomorrow. :barf
I'll have to be better organized and check the timetable next time...

New number mutha****ah!!! Well on course to crack the 1 stone overall weight loss mark by weeks end. And eat that tasty, tasty reward meal. :hat Just finished my breakfast which was a healthy smoothie and a tandoori chicken roll from the Vietnamese bakery... The only bad thing on the roll was a spread of whole egg mayo, other than that it's all chicken breast, thigh and salad. I figure it's okay to feast on something relatively carb dense in the morning...
I did however get it swimming in soy sauce, which is high in sodium, she also put regular salt on it (Which I specifically said I didn't want)... So if my weight reads bigger tomorrow due to water retention I'll take it with a grain of... Salt!!! Bwahahahahhahahahahahhah!!! :rofl I'm ****in' funny!
