Back onto a regular schedule of exercise, though left the jump rope alone for today as woke up feeling tight in my right Achilles, which is a problem spot for me, so decided to leave it be - going to soak it again in a hot bath tonight and should be good by tomorrow.
Feeling really well after the marathon. Took it easy, as I was worried about my left knee. But all ok and still finished strong at around 4:35 min. Definitely being lighter helped.
Back on diet, and man am I looking forward to this week. As I mentioned in previous posts, there is a great vegetarian buffet restaurant in Hibiya park right where I work. But, I always have to trim back whats on the plate. Not this week - all you can eat veggies for lunch - I like it.
Here is my week 6 photo from Patrick's on Saturday. Muffin top is still hanging in there under the obliques and lower abs, but much less than before, starting to get some hard definition around the external obliques and even the magnus serata. Biceps are ok, but the other muscle groups I am keen to build up, particularly the lats and deltoids are still taking time.
Diet all ok - after my Saturday night carb loading on smoked oyster pasta sauce and fettucine - back to the apples and egg whites. Here is breakfast (bran flakes in boiled low fat mily and strawberries - great for a cold day).
Those strawberries look DELICIOUS!!
ReplyDeleteYour lats are fine man, it's your lower back that worries me.
