Good morning to everyone out there. I hope you all had a good Christmas and a good New Year. Mine was very quiet and it was my first official Christmas on my own, so I did go and see my family for a change. My Christmas I did spend with my parents but luckily my brother was there so it was less painful for a change. I cant understand why that time of year has to be so expensive as well, people eat to much, get drunk and act so selfish as well. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy Christmas but it is all about spending money to please people.

So this new year I have decided, yes again, to try and get fitter and try and work out a healthier food plan as well. So with my food I have decided to try and give myself around 2000 calories, give or take. But in that I am trying not to eat fried food, processed food like sliced ham, some cheeses, and some white breads. I have started to have about three to four meals a day and try to make then some what healthy. I am not the sort to stick to salads all the time. I love my meats like chicken, pork, turkey steaks, minced meat and sometimes Tuna.

When I wake up I usually have two cups of coffee in the space of two hours then take a 30-40 minutes walk to the gym. Once at the gym I will do mixed cardio which consists of an elevated walk for about 15 minutes then I do an interval run which may consist of walking for two minutes, then a fast run for a minute. Or I may try average run for three minutes and walk for two minutes and this could take anything from 15-25 minutes. Once done I will do a all over body work out but mix it up over the days. I don’t concentrate in particular parts like legs and abs or back and triceps, I try to do everything. Such as yesterday I did :

   Overhead Press- 60kgs, 70kgs, 75kgs, 75kgs – 8 to 12 reps and 4 sets                                            Bicep Curls – 25kgs, 27.5kgs, 27.5kgs, 30kgs – 8 to 12 reps and 4 sets                                            Bench press- 40kgs, 50kgs, 55kgs, 60kgs – 8 to 12 reps and 4 sets                                                   Seated Abs press – 58.5kgs, 63.5kgs, 67.5kgs, 67.6kgs 8 to 12 reps and 4 sets                                 Pull Downs – 80kgs, 85kgs, 85kgs, 85kgs 8 to 12 reps and 4 sets                                                      Seated leg curl – 31kgs, 38.5kgs, 38.5kgs, 38.5kgs 8 to 12 reps and 4 sets                                       Chest Dips – assisted plate – 6, 6, 6, 5  8 to 12 reps and 4 sets

So today I will do another all over body workout but I will not set down what I should do but will wait and see , when I get there and see what is available. I have done this for a bout three days now and I can already feel a difference already. I have not had any alcohol for about 5 days and I really feel better for it and my waist has started to go as well now. To be honest I am not bothered about my weight as the more I workout the more body fat I will burn and some of the fat will turn into muscle and as we all know muscle is heavier and smaller than the fat. So when I do go to the gym I will do another all over workout and but maybe do it different like just kettle bells or dumbbells, who knows. 

Well if has been a rough couple of days for me, I have come down with a bug. I started feeling tired and having a head that felt like a two week hangover, plus my hearing kept going a little. Then my right eye kept watering like a tap  and then the sniffles came so my right eye and nose ran like a tap. Then when it comes to the evening my eye looked raw red and swollen, plus I felt so drained all the time. I went into work for 07:00 on Monday and I only lasted about an hour and I felt I was sleeping standing up. My colleagues said how rough I looked and to be honest I felt as bad as they said, plus not to mention the sweats. 

So once home I had to have a shower and I was dripping with sweat and it wasn’t warm. I dressed in my slobs and chilled on the sofa watching Hotel Artemis and don’t remember watching any of it, looking at the clock it was around 15:00, Id fallen asleep for about 6 hours and don’t remember anything. That night I chilled in bed watching a film around 20:45 and thought I need to stay awake until about 21:40-22:30 so I could get a good nights sleep. Unfortunately it was around 22:00 I did fall asleep but wide awake by 03:30 ish, and that was it I was done (boohoo).

The lack of sleep has gone on for a couple of nights, at least the sniffles and watering eyes has just about gone. The only thing that remains at the minute is the heavy head and the no energy levels, this means I haven’t been able to manage the gym for nearly a week and now my stomach is bloated and painful. Sods law if its not one thing its another. Because my job is patient orientated I had to have a few days off so I need to see if I am fit for work.

I managed to get the energy to walk into town, by the time I got there I was done in so I stopped for a coffee and tried cool down and stop feeling sweaty. After about 45 minutes I felt like I had cooled down and started to look for Christmas presents. I did not find anything I wanted to get but will have another look tomorrow, plus I need to get my mum something for her Birthday which is on the 10th December as well. What do you get your mum that has everything ?

Well that’s me done for now, yep feeling tired again as I had another night of broken sleep and was awake by 02:30 ish but I did fall back to sleep again around 04:00 and then woke about 08:50. But I still feel so tired and worn out, so I am going to chill on the sofa and watch Hotel Transylvania 3. Yes knowing me I will miss most of it and fall asleep during the film. 

Well take care and be nice to one another, try not to be offended by what people say to you, they are just words.

Hey people how are you all ? I hope you are all well, I can tell you it has not been an exciting week, just mainly work based and nothing exciting happened out side of work. What have you all been up to?

At the moment it is 16/11/2018 and it is 13:07 in the afternoon and it is my day off and I am also having a cheeky glass or two of wine with diet coke. The diet coke added does sweeten the wine up and also tastes nicer as well. I have tried to sort out my diet for when I work out in the gym.  I have ordered 14 containers of high protein meals for the price of 10 which cost me £35 including delivery and each meal is about 300 calories each. They do taste good and I got them from Muscle Foods.

This evening I have a kickboxing session, in the session which is a 1-2-1, I will be learning more on how to teach a class and dealing with difficult students. Soon I will be able to teach my own private classes or group sessions, then I have to decide where I am going to do my classes. These classes are not about fitness, mental focus and working on the movements and techniques, it not about who is better or who has the hardest kick or punch, or punching the hell out of each other. 

I have got a workout frame, with this frame you can do chin ups, dips and legs raises along with press ups and sit ups. It is a great bit of  kit to have but as time goes on I have found I am using it less and less. I need to get my mind set to not just working out in the gym but also at home too. In the past I have done the Insanity workout DVD’s at home but now I live somewhere else I don’t have enough room in my lounge to try the DVD any more. I would be nice to live in a big enough house to do some workouts at home every now and again. Well I start with my diet getting in order then find other ways to work out .

The other day I was in the garden and all of a sudden I heard moaning coming from the house opposite me. I started laughing as the moaning got loader. I had a look around but could not see anything. Tell me the truth who wouldn’t of looked around? Plus the other day I was walking to work and there was a woman getting dressed in her window up stairs and she actually saw me but she carried on, seems she didn’t care anyone seeing her in just a pair of women’s knickers. As I was late for work I carried on walking and the funny thing is a I looked up as I walked of she waved, this did make me laugh. 

As I said there has not been a lot happening to me lately, is it I am lonely and sad or I just need to get out more? Comments wont offend, well I hope they wont. Well I am going now and hope you are all well and things are looking up.  I am doing well and the only thing I would like is to become famous, who wouldn’t , I don’t mean rich but just famous for something I do, but not that famous. 

Stay safe people and be good to one another, Don’t let people bother you, and just walk away. 

Good evening folks, I hope you all ok and had a good weekend. Who went out to see a fire works display, hopefully everyone came home ok. 

Well I had a lovely week end, it started on Friday  as it was my day off as was Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday I got up late which was about 10:30 in the morning and felt so good that I slept this long , so when I got up and had breakfast I headed off to the gym. This  consisted of a heavy weights work out with chest, shoulders, back, abbs, legs and dead lifts. The whole work out lasted for about 1 hour and 15 minutes with a 15 minute cardio of 1 minute fast run and then a minute walk . In the evening I went to kickboxing to learn more about teaching people and how to break down the moves and punches and also using the techniques. 

On Saturday I was taken to Cadbury’s World, which was I can tell you ‘amazing’. I can’t remember the last time I went if I ever had been, but I did enjoy myself . I had tones of chocolate, which I don’t tend to eat anyway and by the end of the day I felt sick. I went into the 4D cinema there which was fun, then into the tour around and had more chocolate around the factory. 

There was a huge chocolate spider which was looking delicious. The car looked great and we saw Berty Bassett but I wasn’t brave enough to have a photo taken with him. I know I am a big kid, well I felt like it . The whole day must of lasted about 3-4 hours in all. The only bad thing is it takes about 1 hour 30 minutes. When I got home with the person I was with we had another hot chocolate with no cream but had small marshmallows and after that I really felt sick and sick of chocolate but dam didn’t it taste good.

Sunday I had to kill it at the gym and wasn’t it difficult and a felt so stuffed still and a little bloated too. but to be honest, it not that bad if you have a blow out on rubbish food once in a while surely?.

Well I hope you all have had a great weekend as me. But I did work it off the next day. Well be nice to people. If someone gets in your face and starts to say bad things about you. Try just saying OK or yes that’s right and smile. Remember they are just words and they only have meaning if you give them meaning.  So smile at the person and agree, then the only person that will look silly is the other person.

Stay safe. 

Well people how are you all? I hope you are good.

I have not been up to much as I have had a long week at work, 5 shifts of 12 hours each and over the weekend it can be very long. There has not been a lot going on really, so there is not much to write about this time. I did have a great session in kickboxing learning how to teach and ways of engaging people that appear not to be doing great in a session, this was a real eye opener. 

I started looking for different music to listen to and to chill out to. I have found out I have a great liking for country music. Mainly KANE BROWN, a young man who I think is 24 yrs old and with his voice…..dam killer…..I have watched some of his videos he posts out there too. 

I have gone out to get his music and this is the only one I can get in my town. Believe me when I say it is a great CD. I have watched some of his videos he posts and he seems to be so much for his fans, getting them up on stage in concert. What he did for his mums birthday and he video it was awesome. He seems to be a very humble man and doesn’t seem to be one of those men that has let fame go to his head. His music to me has that feeling of no matter how bad ya day has been it doesn’t matter remember your friends. 

well that’s all I have for now. Did say it was short this time. But I do recommend that you even try listening to his music, my favourite tracks are Heaven, What If, and What’s Mine is Yours.

Remember people be nice to people, no matter what they say to you, at the end of the day what they say are only words. Words only hurt you or offend you if you give meaning to what they say, so don’t give them meaning, they are just words. To many people now days are to easily offended by what people say or do, those people are only offended because they are feeding into what the other person says. Just laugh at them and walk away. 

Stay safe, look after the loved ones and keep real. Remember they are just words. 

LOVE YOU ALL.
