Today is wednesday 16th January 2008 DAY 20
Weight this morning was 14st 2.5lbs (90kgs)
The water from the weekend is off and each week sees a little weight loss.
I am feeling excellent at the moment; positive and energised and training is going very well indeed.
Nytol saw improvements this week when I threw a few poses during a workout which is always nice to hear. I see them myself but its always nice to have it confirmed by someone I respect.
Cardio is going well and i am finding the 60 mins pre meal 1 an absolute breeze.
Next week sees me increasing it to 75 mins with an additional 15 mins after training. Then its 6 weeks to go and at 4 weeks out I'll add another 15 to make it 90 mins. I wont go any higher than this.
I am coming in steadliy and consistently so i see no reason in making drastic changes.
I said to Nytol and Paul today, I really dont feel at all like I am dieting. I firmly believe that this time round I can go the full diet without feeling any different, or that's the hope anyway.
My body is thriving on the food I am feeding it at the moment.
The next few weekends see a lot of travelling. This weekend I am going to Brighton to a friend's wedding and then the weekend after sees me going up to Scotland to lend a hand in Del's gym for the 'official' opening. He asked me a while ago and I jumped at the chance. It will also give me a chance to speak to and meet some of the members and help them out with any advice they need. I may even strip down for a posedown with Del!!!!
The following weeknd its up to Manchester to see Paul B and make the final tweaks for the final 3 weeks. This is where it will either be pedal to the metal or just a nice cruize in; I know which one I'll be hoping for.
I trust Paul implicitly and ever since he has helped me I have had great successes and have no doubt this will be continued this year hopefully at the Arnold as well as the British in October.
So its just keeping on doing what I have been for the last 20 days relentlessly but with a real sense of purpose and real enjoyment at the knowledge that improvements are being seen as the fat slowly but surely comes off.
I would also like to thank everybody for sticking with this thread, its been going on a long, long time now what with the British, then the mini off season and now with this. So thanks for all your support and messages of goodwill, it really does make a huge difference to me and although I haven't met alot of you, I see you all as my friends.
On that note......time to eat.:beer1:
