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.
