Day Seventeen

All done again. Still have not gotten into the habit of getting up early and knocking off the exercise, but at least I am getting it all done before a bath and bed. Saw Patrick's post about doing the exercises right. It is the first time I have trained using resistance bands, and I have to say I find them harder to get right than free weights. I find that the right length for curls is a little short for the shoulder davinci, but I have been trying them slow release to get the best burn.

Still haven't got a proper solution to the pull-ups, using the dining table for the incline ones, but find it shifts a bit - which worries me. Don't want the folks coming home to see a pair of legs sticking out under a turned over dining table.

Otherwise, diet is remarkably easy to stick to so far. Ta made brown rice, chicken and tofu stir fry, which was awesome - nice to be back home.

Day Sixteen

Woohoo! I am down to 95.3k, down from my starting weight 98.2kg.

Have been training with James again, which makes it a lot more fun. Also, sticking to the diet, which has changed again. Need to get a better pair of resistance bands, as the ones I have are offering enough resistance.

Just got my week two photo up, no real change in the muffin top, despite the kilos coming off.

Day Fifteen

Bit swamped with travel and work so bit of a break from blogging. But, pleased to say been more consistent with exercise and eating.

Back in Tokes and did today's PCP with James and he is making the regulation munchies now. Vegies and pasta.

Should be able to blog more now am back into regular timezone and work is less crazy.

Day Ten

On the road with my jump rope and digital scale. Actually this is not as tough as I thought, as I have been able to go to the buffet and weigh out the smoked salmon, steamed veggies and whatever else matches my diet. Gradually getting my eye in for how many spoonfuls of cereals in 100 grams, etc.

Also, came across a great app called Tap and Track which helps reinforce the diet and training. Will post my photo asap.

Day Seven

First day on diet and proud of not just sticking to it, but coming up with a pretty good meal. Chicken, pumpkin and tofu cooked in lemon juice and Rosemary with a tiny bit of olive oil served with brown rice.

On down side resistance bands have not arrived, will pick up tomorrow.

Day Seven

Ok, 500 jumps later - done.  Ate my last half meal of chili shrimp and rice and am getting my shopping list together for tomorrow.  I have decided I am going to get a strong wooden pole tape it to a couple of chairs and use that for the incline chin ups.

Just weighed myself Day One was 98.2kg, Day Seven am 96.8kg - headed in the right direction at least ;)

Day Six

Ok, all done again. Though R Achilles is bugging me on the jump rope.

I am going to be on the road again Sunday to Friday, and am worried about how i am going to take a bunch of veggies through customs in carry on bags. On the plus side, I am going to really appreciate the fruit baskets in the hotel rooms.

Day Five

Just knocked off my exercises. Legs ok now. Found a jump rope with digital meter so I don't have to worry about losing count. Still looking for resistance bands and a chin up bar though.

Day Four

Got in my sit-ups and push-ups early before my flight, but man my legs were so sore I could not manage the squats and jump rope.

Going to soak in the tub when I get back Tokes today and try this evening.

Day Two

Just finished the Mumbai Marathon.  I was slow, but at least I burnt around 4059 calories, according to my Nike+ App. 

Need to drop those kilos though, they are weighing me down (literally) and slowing me up.

SWEET!

Dude, Peter is THE MAN!
