The Struggle Continues......
-
We're having the wife's lot over for Xmas day and my plan is simple - get involved with the preparation. Nothing makes you feel like eating less than when you're up to your elbows in it.<br />
<br />
The other part of the plan is to keep her mother the hell away from food prep. Silly old moo thinks she's still catering for 50!<br />
<br />
But the odd wine and chocolate may pass my lips. -

102.5kg this morning. Holy shit! That's the lightest I've been since about 1996. This cardio is paying off. A bit wary I maybe burning lean mass as well but the 40/30/30 fit pal plan is working a treat. I'm going to make sure I still lift decent tin twice a week and include a Kettlebell day between my mountain hike and the treadmill.<br />
<br />
My goal of weighing under 100 by Xmas now feels extremely realistic.<br />

Dude it's pretty blustery here today, may I suggest a heavy backpack on your next visit to the nations capital lest you find yourself blowing away ? -
[quote name='BartMan' timestamp='1355101579' post='331820']do you ever do any higer rep stuff RB? Drop sets etc? Your body might enjoy a change?[/quote]<br />
<br />
Agree. RB I know you like deads and hang cleans. Try doing a 50 or 100 reps at one weight (start at something light and build up) for time. <br />
<br />
You will sweat the house down and your body will be on fire. <br />
<br />
Record the time and then a week later try beating the time. <br />
<br />
Over time you can then increase the weight a little and increase speed. <br />
<br />
I'd encourage you to try these bad boys out. -
Not really but I do Kettlebell (45 min programne: 17 x 2 minute sets and bodyweight circuits plus tyres/sleds for higher reps at least twice a week.<br />
<br />
I'm actually enjoying bodyweight stuff more than tin at the moment.<br />
<br />
Tuesday: Tread 45 minutes<br />
Wednesday: TM intervals 20 & BW Circuit.<br />
Thursday: Run 40 minutes. -
I love working out this time of day, especially in the sunshine!
