This week has been the absolute worst gym week thus far this year. Being forced to drive to Mississauga and back every single day for job training. Needless to say, was too tired to go to the gym most nights and the diet shit the bed a little bit too. Everyone is allowed to have one bad week though aren't they?
Monday and Tuesday were write offs. Still adjusting to the different sleep patterns I found myself with absolutely no energy to exercise when I had the time to do so.
Wednesday: Managed to squeeze in a 40 minute run and a full, 6 exercise chest routine. Needless to say by the time i got home I was in bed and out!
Thursday: Another 40 minute run followed by a full Arms routine! Maybe this wasn't going to be so hard after all?
Friday: Dead again for whatever reason. Maybe it was the diet for the week but had no energy so went out for beers instead!
so this is how my weekend is shaping up...
Saturday and Sunday: 40 minute runs each day and 70 minutes of weight training each day. Ill get the diet back on track and be super set and ready to go on Monday!
DIET
Not even going to get in what was eaten this week... half of what I normally put in my belly and the other half was just a messy wreck of whatever was available at the time... the Spicy Italian subs at Subway are terribly delicious though...
that's all for now

Whats done is done is done is done is done
Not too much new news to report on these days. I make slight, minor changes to the routine to stave off boredom; attempting to keep things fresh. I've become a master at forced sleeping; working in routines both before and after work no matter the time I'm working. The hydroxycut keeps me going a bit when I get tired hahah.
Guilt has become a driving factor in the routine as well. Everyday I don't go I feel worse and worse.
The diet is down to a regular now. Don't really have to think about what I'm going to eat or worry about when to eat, it's all just been worked in flawlessly
Thats all for now, I'll keep updates as they occour

Ch-ch-ch-ch- Changes
I've been workin out changes to the routine recently. Trying to keep it interesting and also not over do it from day to day. Here's what I have worked out for now
Monday: 40 min run in the morning then 20 min quick jump start run in the evening followed by 70-90 min of weight training
Tuesday: 60 min cardio session
Wednesday: 40 min run in the morning then 20 min quick jump start run in the evening followed by 70-90 min of weight training
Thursday: 60 min cardio session
Friday: 40 min run in the morning then 20 min quick jump start run in the evening followed by 70-90 min of weight training
Saturday and Sunday: 30-40 min cardio a day
I've been trying to keep cardio to 1 hour a day. It's widely accepted that keeping your heart rate elevated in your "target heart rate zone" an hour a day is the peak amount (when your body burns fat best in relation to amount of calories being expended and muscle destroyed) for cardio activity.
Diet has gotten a little easier and simpler to follow. Ive been managing to keep down egg whites but still.
Daily, I usually consume:
4-6 egg whites
3-4 cups of fresh fruit
1-2 lean chicken breasts
60-70 grams of whole grain shredded wheat
150-200ml non fat milk
4-5 cups of veg's.
2-4 scoops of protein powder = 40g protein, 170 Cal's / 2 scoops
and plenty of H2O
Quick Tip: Your body does NOT store protein the same way it stores fats. It's a good idea to spread out your protein intake throughout your entire day and increase it a bit more around your weight training activities to keep you healthy!
That's all for now
