The 90 Day Challenge: Milk Log
-
I am on a three day programme, and yesterday I did Day 3. I like to have a day off in between, before starting Day One again. So this morning i just did half an hour of cardio. Pretty pleased with my efforts for the last week. Hopefully I can keep it up for another week. Will post a weigh in on Monday. Hopefully I'll be under 78 kgs.

Day one of my programme is always the hardest, and takes the longest. It involves incline bench press, bench press, reverse flys, shoulder press, french press, those arm pull down things, and abs. I did that this morning, and feel pretty good about it. No time for cardio this morning, but I never do with the Day One programme.

My weigh in this morning was 77.4kgs. I don't really think weight is a good indicator, as I'm more interested in cosmetic results. But at least it's a some sort of indicator of where I'm going. It's very hard to see any changes when you see yourself everyday.<br />
<br />
Did lower body weights today - no cardio. Christ it's cold. I can't even believe it. It's very hard to get out of bedl -
Cheers RB. I just need to get over that weekly weekend hurdle where I always run out of momentum.<br />
<br />
Back into it this morning - Bi's and Back, and some cardio as well.<br />
<br />
Looks like I might be doing the Half Marathon in Taupo in August. Anyone got any tips? -

always find it pretty hard to lift weights in the morning, body needs timt to wake up and get sorted - mine at any rate! Good work though, keep on keeping on!<br />

Same here, although I'm used to it now. You can definitely lift more in the afternoon after a day of ingesting carbs, energy etc. Unfortunatley you have to do what you're gonna stick with though, and if I don't go to the gym in the morning I won't go at all. Will probably cut back on the weights a little now that I'm training for this half marathon. Don't know for sure. Cheers for the encouragement! -
It's particularly tough with Winter too - you just want to stay in bed.<br />

Biked to the gym yesterday - that was new. Don't do a lot of biking, and it will take a lot of getting used to. Yesterday I did chest and tris.<br />
<br />
This morning I did legs.<br />
<br />
I think I'm going to get a new programme next week - I've been on this one for a while. -
GYM REASSESSMENT:<br />
<br />
Weight: 76.7kg<br />
Body Fat: 14.05%<br />
<br />
Slight improvement, but nothing to write home about. Have gained 400grams lean muscle mass, so am pretty happy about that at keast.<br />

My goal, starting next week with my programme shows, is to begin training in earnest for this half marathon. I haven't done a lot of running, so it should really shock the system. I want to improve fitness so I can complete the marathon. However, I really just want to use the marathon as motivation to get through my plateau and reduce body fat and improve definition. I have just bought some whey protein, and thermogenic fat burning capsules, so hopefully I can start making some good progress.
