Bad month

The last month has been bad. Haven´t done any real exercise at all. Been working loads and been really busy.

This weekend I started getting back into the exercise. Played 3v3 for 2 hours on saturday afternoon and shot 100 freethrows and played 1v1 for 2 hours yesterday (sunday).

I am planning to shoot everyday in the mornings except mondays when the clube is closed.

I am also planning to start doing 2 days of jump training and go back to walking the dog every morning although it is harder to get up now as the clocks have gone back again.

Good start to the week got up really early so it was still really dark so went on the net for a while and started reading about walking with weight vests and how it increases calerific burn and therefore weight loss.

Remembered that I had a weight vest in the loft and went and got it. I decided to give it a try.

I took out half of the weights so that the vest is now 5kgs which makes my weight with the vest 100.4kgs.

I imediately noticed the difference while walking and was dying halfway up the first part of the hill and my legs were really burning, by the end of the walk I was sweating really badly and nearly dying and I was so glad that I had taken the 5kgs out. Every time I picked up the stick to throw I felt my legs burn a bit more.

I waked for 46.25 minutes walking 2 miles and climbing 632ft with an average pace of 24:21/mile.

I have just started the second faze of my training that I was supposed to start last week. I will be doing the following:

2 footed skipping with no weight vest (3x1min)
Squats with 5kg weight vest (3x20)
Pushups no weight vest (3x10)
Stepups 5kg weight vest (3x20)
Plank with no weight vest (3x1min)
Lunges with 5kg weight vest (3x20)
Crunches no weight vest (3x20)
Calf Raises with 5kg weight vest (3x20)
Back Extensions no weight vest (3x20)
Wall Squats with 5kg weight vest (3x1min)

I have also worked out that my rest week (week4) will fall on Carnival here in Brazil and I will be at the beach so that worked out really well.

My weigh in today was 95.4kgs and 29.8% bodyfat

Weigh in this morning wasn´t too bad considering how little exercise I have done this week. I wa 95.4kgs and 32% bodyfat.

I am starting to think that my scales are a little crazy as I have definately trimmed down a lot in the last month and according to my scales I have put on 2% bodyfat.

I can see the difference in my face (lack of chins) and my arms and legs are much more defined. I have also dropped about 2 inches around my waist as all my shorts are falling down if they are not ties up now and before they were fine.

This morning I walked with my dogs and my niece who was staying with us. Walked for 1.01:33 and covered 2.1 miles and climbed 579 ft. My medium pace was slower as my niece only had flip flops which slowed her down a lot.

Was working this afternoon at bought a 600ml bottle of coke and drank it so a bit pissed off with myself.

I am planning to get up earlier tomorrow moring to give me time to double my walk to 4 miles and I am alsogoing to start my training program that I was supposed to start last week.
