The 90 Day Challenge: Milk Log

[Milk]

Didn't end up doing sweet FA for almost two weeks. A real shame because I felt I was making progress. Anyway, got back into it yesterday and today - better luck this time.

My main problem at the moment is the weekends - the routine goes to the pack. Shit keeps coming up, and I actually just want a few quiet ones to stay on track. [/quote]<br />
<br />
Yeah, a problem that everyone seems to have experienced to a degree. I don't think there's anything that can be done about it save for ridiculous martyrdom; there's always someone's farewell, birthday, new job etc to celebrate / commiserate. <br />
<br />
I just decided to let the good times roll. If you have to attend a "do" you might as well cast aside the guilt and go hammer, even if it is twice a weekend  :happy:

[Milk]

Unfortuantely I have stayed away from the gym for about a week due to sickness. Back again today, so trying to get back on the wagon for what seems like the hundreth time. The good news is I have been eating really healthily this week, and have not had ANY alcohol for 14 days. <br />

Yeap, next time i do drink I'll be hitting it like a train - I'll be a cheap date though.<br />
<br />
Really wish I could stop falling off the wagon, the progress RB, Bart, MVJ, etc are making is really impressive.

[Milk]

Back in the saddle again today. Did the entire lower body and abs workout, including cardio. Muscles are sore from yesterday, so really pleased with that too.<br />
Last night I had pasta for dinner, so that probably wasn't good - but I'm sure there are worse things. Anyway, the jury still seems to be out on how bad carbs at night are.

[BartMan]

yeah, my jury out still.  Although, I might try a no carbs at night jag for amonth or so, and see what happens.  Have lost 1kg in the last month or so, which seems out of proportion to the training.  althouhg, my clothes do keep getting bigger, so that is good!!

I suppose if you are just after weight loss it's best to cut it out. When I was really trying to lose weight I cut out carbs at night, and did cardio every morning before breakfast. Went really well.<br />
<br />
Back to the gym this morning and did bi's and back, and even cardio. Well set to have a day off in the weekend now.

[Milk]

Well I certainly made the most of my day off by going completely overboard. Bit of an overkill on the KFC from Friday night through to early this morning. Anyway, was better behaved for the rest of the day.<br />
Went to the gym this afternoon and had a good workout. Wouldn't have made up for the day I had yesterday, but at least I've started the week as I want to carry on.

[Milk]

Gym this morning - leg weights today. Unfortunately didn't get to the cardio, but the leg work out leaves me pretty puffed anyway.

[Milk]

Gym again this morning. This time it was back and bi's - even did 15 minutes cardio at the end. I was a bit down yesterday because I was a kg heavier than I should be, but that has dropped again, must have been one of those daily variances.

[Milk]

I am on a three day programme, and yesterday I did Day 3. I like to have a day off in between, before starting Day One again. So this morning i just did half an hour of cardio. Pretty pleased with my efforts for the last week. Hopefully I can keep it up for another week. Will post a weigh in on Monday. Hopefully I'll be under 78 kgs.

[Milk]

Day one of my programme is always the hardest, and takes the longest. It involves incline bench press, bench press, reverse flys, shoulder press, french press, those arm pull down things, and abs. I did that this morning, and feel pretty good about it. No time for cardio this morning, but I never do with the Day One programme.

[Milk]

My weigh in this morning was 77.4kgs. I don't really think weight is a good indicator, as I'm more interested in cosmetic results. But at least it's a some sort of indicator of where I'm going. It's very hard to see any changes when you see yourself everyday.<br />
<br />
Did lower body weights today - no cardio. Christ it's cold. I can't even believe it. It's very hard to get out of bedl

Keep up the good work Milk, before you know it you will be on a roll.

[Milk]

Cheers RB. I just need to get over that weekly weekend hurdle where I always run out of momentum.<br />
<br />
Back into it this morning - Bi's and Back, and some cardio as well.<br />
<br />
Looks like I might be doing the Half Marathon in Taupo in August. Anyone got any tips?

[Milk]

Ran for 5kms on the treadmill this morning. It was ok - will wait and see how easily I can walk tomorrow. I don't do a lot of running at all, so I imagine I'll have some repercussions.

[Milk]

Legs sweet from the run yesterday. Even did leg weights this morning, and another 5 min run on the treadmill. Looked at some running shoes last night. They are bloody expensive!

[Milk]

Chest, tris and abs this morning. This work out always takes the longest - and is pretty tough. I was pretty larthargic this morning. Still lose momentum in the weekend, so plenty to work on.

[Milk]

Legs and abs this morning, but no cardio. Chest and tris are very sore from yesterday, which is good.

[Milk]

I really wailed on my bis and back this morning. Ran for 15 minutes on the tread mill too. Pretty nacked now.

[Milk]

Did half an hour on the tread mill this morning. Was pretty stuffed. Have a shitload of work to do before I can go anywhere near a half marathon.
