Change Right Now

Another good start today. As soon as i woke up the first thing i felt was “Pain”. The soreness from previous day workout was causing that pain and i find it difficult to stretch my hands and walk properly.Anyway the pain is enjoyable, due to the feel that my muscles are building stronger. Today is my Cardio day,so got into my favorite Elliptical Cross Trainer and worked for 30 mins.first time ever I was so motivated that i kept on increasing and reached the maximum intensity available and reduced from there (Refer the photo). I was so focused that my mind started enjoying the whole process of Yes & No fight in myself, and pushed me to do my best. I burned 330 Calories in 30 Mins and i loved it. throughout the session my heart rate was between 160 to 172 which is of 85% to 90% of my maximum heart rate. Ideally i should bring this rate between 70% to 80%,which is advised to be the healthy zone.

After Cardio, i did a 3 Sets of 30 Lbs Barbell Clean and press (Compound Exercise) 12 Reps each.

After reaching home i was really tired, and felt i should take a sick leave and sleep, was lazy for sometime but got ready and headed to work. Today my weight was 127.4kg which is 800 grams less than yesterday’s weight and which made me feel happy.

Food: Breakfast – 2 Chappati and Dal, Lunch – 1 cup veg salad, 1 cup pineapple and apple, evening – 1 orange and 1 apple, Dinner – 1/2 grilled chicken and little Tandoori

Weight: 127.4 Kg, Difference from Yesterday – 800 grams,  Difference from Day 1 – 2.8 Kg

Hi guys, today is one the best and energetic day of my life, started with absolute motivation and straight hit the gym and pushed myself to the best. i feel real happy and energetic. I couldn’t believe that one day of good workout and diet can change so much about how I feel.

Coming back to todays workout, today i was working out for lower body and today after gym my weight was 128.2Kg which is 2 Kg less compare to my weight just 24 hours before. i really don’t understand this pattern, probably water content from body is fleshed out. however i am happy.

Following is the Video:

Food: Breakfast – 2 Chappati and Dal, Lunch – 1 cup veg salad and 1 cup pineapple, evening – 2 Oranges and for Dinner – 2 Cup Soup and Orange

Weight: 128.2 Kg, Difference from Yesterday – 2 Kg,  Difference from Day 1 – 2 Kg

As obvious, this day i am starting a new journey with the additional weight of 2.5 Kgs from last start. Today I weigh 130.2Kgs. This time with little more realization and motivation. So i decided to make today as Day -1 instead of Day -12. I wish myself a Good luck. for the fact that  Gym and Diet is not new to me, i have tried for over 20 times atleast in last 3 years and twice i fairly succeeded. once i have gone done from 127 Kg to 109 kg (lost 18 Kgs in 3 Months, before my wedding ) and the second time i lost around 10 kgs, however at the end i am back to my native weight of 130 kgs

The problem is not with my Diet and Gym, its with my laziness. i sure that the day i fix my health, i will be fine with all the other aspects of my life.

So today is yet another fresh start

 
Food: 1 Orange and 1 Roasted Chicken Sub (Double Meat)
Weight: 130.2 Kg

Last week i was totally out of control, overeaten to the core and all day ended with booze… as a result i was 131.5Kg at the end of Day 11 (28th Jan 2012). First time ever i seen my self above 130Kg, which made feel like a person going to die the next day. i was unable to get sleep, thinking over and over about my health and person i am now. my overall feel for Last three years of my life is not very good, i am very lazy and sluggish, this is mainly due the fact that im bloated in a very short time and added nearly 25Kgs in no time. i need to fix my health else i may Die very soon (Honestly thats what i feel every single day).

Booze is one thing that will make you feel lethargic and makes postpone all your initiatives. So decided to stop drinking anymore till i reach my first goal of 120Kgs. and also decided not to over eat and drink atleast half litre of water just before i eat any meal.

I know i failed myself in this attempt, but i will never going to stop my efforts and action.

I small thing i noticed was, when i over ate on the last weekend (Day 4 and Day 5), i went back to my starting weight, which became very give demotivation for me. so my mind started saying that “whats the big difference if you going to start now or after 2 days also, anyways you gained back the weight you lost”

Anyways this is what i wanted to blog. tomorrow i will start my journey again…

Being Saturday and Sunday it’s a free day… No gym and No diet.

On Saturday : very lazy day I would say, had some works to complete but didn’t do any.

Food: Lunch: rice, dal, spinach, and brinjal fry. For dinner: 2 beer 650 ml, chicken tikka, tawa prawn and naan
Weight : 126.8kg
Difference in weight : +300 grams

On Sunday: yet another lazy day

Food : Branch : white pongal and coconut chutney. Lunch : Biriyani and chicken. Dinner : yet to have but decided to finish it with 3 pegs of rum and some chinese food…

Overall a lazy and relaxing weekend but very bad days with respect to diet and fitness

Hope to fix this from coming week.

On the way I was listening to Tony Robbins audio book about health and internal power, which was real motivator to start the day.Reached gym in 40 mins. Today is the cardio day so i headed straight to elliptical cross trainer and I was working out listening to audio book which made my day with lots motivation and first time ever 30 mins of cardio with good intensity level I was able to do with ease.
