Chillen | Hey there Mr C!
I am great thanks! Have been feeling really strong over the past few days.... My boxing has really improved recently..... I love NROL and weights that I have incorporated into my routine... ITS AWESOME!!!............
I acheived something new this week as well - not only am I doing pushups "like a man" i.e proper push ups on your toes, but this week I tried doing those special ones where you elbows are tucked in close to your torso!! wow I felt some soreness over the last few days - it seems to work those muscles kindof on your sides under your underarms!
Hope all is going well with you!!
Cheers

| |  helllooooo!..... I had a great and very busy weekend.
I managed to get to the gym yesterday for some HIIT and weights and am up to lifting 12kilos or 26.5 pounds with handweights and the bar so YAY!
I really notice my body temperature shooting through the roof on the day and the day after I do HIIT..... LOVE IT...!!
Food wise did well although I did have a slice of white italian bread on Sat night as you can not eat beef carpaccio (paper thin raw top quality beef with olive oil and lemon juice and parmasan cheese shavings on top YUMMMM) without bread and the restaurant had no whole grain bread but I shouldnt obsess over eating one slice of bread  although it sure sounds as though I am!..... I mean I dont even really have any whole "cheat meals"....
ANYWAY!!! I am travelling interstate for work Tuesday Wednesday so I must fit in two gym sessions as will be missing out on boxing  This will be a little challenging as am catching extremely early and lengthy flights and have two very full on days planned for work but luckily the hotel will have a gym so convenience will make up for me being tired etc....
Hope everyone had a cracker of a weekend and KEEP GOING!!! |

| | | hey! I like your attitude and the way you talk.
your body temp is shooting up? how do you know? do they feel like 'hot flashes?'
you can always fit a workoput in if you want to. It's all about breaking the sweat. Thos pushupos are working for ya, do some planks, and some speed jumping jacks and kick up into a handstand against the wall for press-ups, etc etc etc.
you have flavor!
Keep it up
sweat daily

Anyway....! Lets re-count my progress to date:
22 Jan 2008: 98 kgs: 216.1 pounds
22 Feb 2008: 88kgs: 194 pounds
26 March 2008: 82.2kgs: 181.2 pounds
WOW! thats 15.8 kgs or 34.9 pounds DOWN DOWN DOWNNNNN!!!
I am 22.2 kilos/ 48.9 pounds off from my goal weight. I have 5 months to do this, I WILL DO THIS. 18 weeks to go - I need to lose 1.2 kgs/2.6 pounds per week... This is acheivable.
On another note I pushed myself extremely hard this morning - we did kickboxing and bodyweight work, jump rope, ab work.... I wanted to throw up after class but feel good as I know I pushed myself to the MAX.... Does this make me scary?!?..... |
um..... uh - HOLY SHEEYAT! |

FF |  Thanks FF!
Body Temp: yeah I swear its almost like someone pressess an "on" button, very noticeable "at rest" the day after - like right now sitting at my desk and my whole torso just revs up... like inside my tummy and chest and back and neck, under my arms... just like i have a mini sauna built in.... red hot heat!..... it does come and go... like flashes!..
Re fitting in the workouts whilst away for work, YOU ARE RIGHT ON,  you have to push past the mental barriers and fatigue and just do it.... becuase when you are doing it you forget you are tired and just sit in the concentration of what you are doing!
Thanks for the suggestions re pushups - I do them all (planks are awesome! I love and hate them at the same time!) except for the handstand press up! I cant wait to try it!.... |

It has been stored all winter and the weather keeps teasing me with a couple nice days and then it changes up and snows. Supposed to get 7 inches today.  Warm weather is not far off though. |

| | Ok so I am on the other side of Aus and in Europe this would equate to about 10 countries at least!
After a very long and early flight I had a huge days work at the office and survived a change in time zone... went to my hotel then BURNED IT UP BABY - yes it would have been easier to just go to bed but I smashed the treadmill with HIIT - I was making lots of noise but made it 25 mins with 5 mins warm up and 1 min on and 1 min off and further 4 mins cool down.. I finished off with about 20 mins of weights....
I felt like the workout was quick yet effective... and after that I felt like i could take on the world instead I ate a chicken salad and forced myself to go to bed as had soo much energy......
Tonight will be no different except I might jump on the bike instead as my calf muscles are yelling at me
I hand myself "dork of the year" award.... half way through bench presses I feel like I can lift no more.... then I say to myself in my head "push harder princess"!! (i am sure i saw that somewhere on this forum) |

| | Hi everybody!... (haha dont you just love that I am assuming people are reading this post) ANYWAY Yeah a little update for you all since my last post.
I did do the second "kill me now" HIIT session at the hotel gym on the bike then more weights....
That was Thursday night.... got back on Friday.
Went to the gym on Sat morning and smashed the stepper with a hardcore 25 min HIIT session (this does include 5 mins warmup)..... then went on to do 15 mins of steady cardio - running then did a full body workout and tried out the cable machines which are hard but awsome (you really need to control your movements and I feel like you use more muscles.....
Sunday I was running around like a mad woman meeting up with different sets of friends and doing a marathon shopping session... was exhausted by last night as had to catch up on the time difference and daylight savings has ended  .....
Today I went for a run at lunchtime and felt really good and tonight I will go to the gym for HIIT (prob stepper)..... and weights then tomorrow am back at boxing!..... GO ME - I am nearly into the next size down again and have my weigh in in 8 days so lets see what happens... |
