another week...

These workouts are getting tough, really needing to push myself to get even 3/4 way thru some of them.

Abs the hardest for me, really really struggling to get out that last set or so of plank, especially after a tough hitout with the rest of the excercises.

The fifth and sixth sets of shoulders and arms also tested my pain barrier, needing to blokc that out and just push thru.

Diet wise need to sharpen up, think like maybe others i take the as much as u want vegs a little too far.

I see everyone seems to be on track.
HK sevens this weekend so massive danger, i better be on gaurd for all threats.

adios amigos !

Day 60

Hope everyone in Japan stays extra safe the next few days, take care guys.

Day59

Looks like everyone is really progressing well with their projects well done gang.

One movie you need to see is "the fighter,"brillaint movie, leaves Rock for deady (big call i know)i found it quite motivating.

Off to the gym after work to push myself once more, getting some weird looks from those around me, and i think my second resistance band is likely to break sometime soon (she has taken a beating of late)

Stay safe all you guys n girls in Japan, I hope things improve for you soon.

DAY 54

Did my workout last night in front of so you think you can dance, what a terrible show, shame my wife loves watching it.

Pumped out all my excercises , really solid burn on those creeps was duck walking around the aprtment like a freak almost in tears, not getting any discomfort in my knees/shins any more which is good, definately feeling stronger down there.

V-sits although getting better are still a struggle to get a balanced/controlled movement.

Diet wise, my wife Sally had helped alot with cooking up bug vats of fresh veges everynight for me with plenty to take to work for the following day (def better than frozen emergency rations i have at work).

Hope everyone is doing well, from the look of all your posts we're all on track!

Back in Hong Kong after a weekend in taipei with my wife. An interesting place,,,reminded my a little of Japan, definately not as chinese as i was expecting.
We got into town late Friday and headed to Shilin night markets, sprwaling retails and food stalls selling anything and everything...sampled a few things as part of last weeks induldgence ..some deep fried salt and pepper prawns and bbq squid , was tasty at the time but woke feeling pretty dodgy...not used to all the salt.

Excercise wise was not ideal, replaced skipping with a run on  and punched out the resistance bands in the tiny hotel room (quite tough)

Ready to pick up pace this week. will get the photos up tonight. have slackened off a bit in all departments needing to pull my socks up and make a fresh push, otherwise i will slid back into my old ways...

second effort  here we come !!

04 march

Back on the blog...its been a while.

Discovered cottage cheese and cous cous and added it to my meals, great suggestion guys.

excercises are going ok, although the plank for a minute is a real stretch to complete.

Off to Taipei this weekend to check out some hot springs...should be good for the tired frame.

check out this link...sad story.
