Another day over and done with. From my blog this morning, you'll see
my weigh in this morning came to an average of 113.2kg, and my body fat
% wasn't measuring. Fingers crossed for tomorrow morning. Diet today
was, as prevously blogged, breaky and lunch low carb, dinner to be a
cheat meal (eat anything.) It went as follows
Breaky - 3 slices of (xmas) ham pan fried as a substitute for bacon, and 2 poached eggs.
Lunch - 1x 185g tin of tuna in oil, a few nuts, and a tea spoon of natural peanut butter.
Dinner - a chicken curry on rice, then a way-to-big bowl of ice cream smothered with ice magic.
I
actually felt sick after dinner from eating too much. Will need to work
on portion control for my cheat days. Again, to wash down all this
food, i've had just over 5 litres of water, a couple cans of diet coke,
and a couple green teas.
My exercise today was more of a
small test. I downloaded an app on to my iPhone called 'RunKeeper.'
It's a free app. I don't buy apps, you can get them for free......except
'Stick Cricket,' everyone must spend the $2 or $3 and get the full
version of this game. Back to the app i downloaded. It said that it can
use the phones built-in GPS to track and record your run distance, and
time, and a few other little things. You can also set music from your
playlist to it. I set it on a very basic run. I wanted to see if it
worked. As i set off out the driveway, with maybe a 20m walk as a
warm-up, i pressed start. A pleasant lady then spoke into my ear saying
"Activity....Run" then a second later, the music from my personal
playlist titled 'run' started blasting though my skull candies (ear
phones for those that don't know.) As i approached the half way mark of
my usual run, my music was interupted by this lady, this time informing
me that i had just run for 5 mins, had completed .99km at a pace of
5.03mins/km. I smiled and kept panting my way around the block. I got to
the bottom of my street, and started walking back towards the house.
This is my warm-down. Again, not long before walking up to the gate, the
lady again informed me of my progress of 10 mins, 2.01km and at a pace
of 5min per km. All in all, i'm extremely happy with my new app for
iPhone, and am looking forward to using it to improve my fitness. Of
course aiming to reduce my pace times. All working towards my goal of
running a 9.0 on the beep test in three weeks.
Will
need to seriously start working on my strength though. Something i never
really had, but have lost partly what i did have. My starting test
resulted in 9 pushups with no rest. I have a couple of push up handles, i
suppose you'd call them, that are meant to make it easier. I don't
believe the pushups are easier at all - I find it harder. However, it
certainly takes all strain off my wrists, which is good with the weight
they are trying to support still.
Tomorrows diet is
easy, not many decisions to make as tomorrow is one of my fast days.
Will only eat tomorrow evening for dinner.
On a different note - Go the Aussies in the cricket. Congrats to both punter and pup, dominating it fellas.
