2012 Week 1 - review

Ok so last week was half the end of December 2011 and half the beginning of Jan 2012 and all the new routines, new resolutions etc that goes along with that.

I am going to review the week from the day my usual routine started again - i.e back to work on 3rd Jan.
I weighed in at 158.6 & 30.3% Body Fat.

3 Jan
Food - good
lower bod workout - done
40 min cardio - done
4 Jan
Food - clean
Back & Bicep workout complete
40 min cardio done
I am beginning to remember why I love doing this!!
5 Jan

Chest, Shouder, Tricep workout - done
20 mins cardio
Food - clean-ish, had a bottle of beer!

6 Jan weigh in = 156.8 & 29.9, so thats down 1.8lbs
Had a work thing so needed to be in early so no gym today
Food - Ok, but cheat meal night so Fajitas, Doritos, Dips and wine!

 

So all in all not too bad for a start off week!!

 

Week 2:

 

Food:

Still the same targets as last week - 1500 calories per day, except Friday where cheat meal is allowed.

Of that 1500, 100 cals Carbs, 75 cals Protein, 75 cals Fat.

 

Training:

Daily cardio - 40 min session. Bring in HIIT on Wednesdays workout. Also increase treadmill speed from 8.5 kph to 8.8 kph

Weights - 3 day split, Back & Bicep, Lower Body, Chest & shoulders & triceps. Repeated

 

Mindset:

This week I need to continue focussing on the benefits of what I am doing.... 'If I get through this workout the benefits are...' 'If I prep my food tonight the benefits are....'

Also focus on being aware of my food triggers. I was caught out twice last week I don't wanna be caught out again!

 

Holiday:

I am looking forward to my holiday to Borneo and Langkawi... I have ordered some bikini's so when they arrive I am sure they will help me to focus..

 

Competition:

This is on hold for the time being. I didn't get my ass into gear quick enough, so at the moment my focus is still on trying to kick some of this excess weight. I will review this closer to my holiday. I know there is a competition in June (un-natural though) and then another in November (again un-natural). I haven't yet found any dates for the natural competitions.

 

Life:

This is still about trying to get routines sorted, getting used to going to gym again, getting used to prep'ing food etc. I am also trying to follow my own housework timetable which will mean I can get everything done that I need to do over a 4 week period.

Still in the back of my mind that  want to try extra hard for babies. My recent observation is that my sex drive seems to reduce as I am supposed to be ovulating.. hmm. We are also trying to get into the 'routine' of having sex evey other day - keeps us both happy and increasing the chances... we'll see!!
