3-4-2013: First workout of the month
I have not worked out for the past 3 days. I was giving my job my full attention for that time. I also started shopping for food as I would be preparing most of the food that I will eat. I do not want to be at the mercy of other people especially now that I am more watchful on what I take in. It is not going to be easy but the rewards will be great when I succeed.
Gym Work
30 mins Zumba
1 hour BodyPump
1 hour Sh'Bam
It was a Bodypump day today and it was sandwiched with 2 dance workouts. It was fun. I was a bit late for the Zumba class but I was able to catch up and dance the nice parts. Bodypump today was mix and match and I really had a hard time finishing the biceps and triceps routine. The biceps routine became hard because I used heavy weights (same as my chest and legs). Triceps were hard because I did dips which I have not done for quite a while plus it followed that hard biceps track. All in all, it was a great day at the gym.
Food
Chorizo Sandwich
Torta + Fit 150
Pinaypay (Banana Fritters)/Almonds/Potato Chips
Roast Pork + Salsa
small cone Ice Cream (choco chip cookie flavor)
I practically skipped lunch and for dinner, I cooked Roast Pork. It is not really fatty, it was more protein than fat. I did not eat rice but I had ice cream for dessert.
Supplements
1 Tab Ripped Fuel Extreme
1 Tab Amino Chewables
Energy Drinks

3-1-2013: Fitness Goals for the New Month
It's March already and it is practically the start of summer. I have decided to take the day off to rest and evaluate my fitness goals for the month. Sine I have established a fairly good routine, I felt that it is time to work on specific goals. For this month, it is also about losing weight. I have proven to myself that I can exercise for around 3 hours and I have been diligently going to the gym for months already. I am ready to really give another serious shot to losing weight.
Weight Goal on March 31, 2013: 87.5 Kilos (192.5 lbs)
Exercise Plan:
I will focus on cardio exercises. The classes that I can join in will be BoyJam, BodyCombat, Sh'Bam, Zumba, HardCore. I will limit BodyPump to maximum of once a week. I will start running again. My run routine will be 15 minutes of intervals. Rotex and Bike are also possible exercises. For weights, my cycle will be 40 X 12. I will minimize lifting heavy weights. I may join fun runs. I could target 5k by March 16 and 6k on March 24. I could also do double gym sessions on some days probably T-Th.
Diet Plan:
For March, I will be making most of my meals. As much as possible, I will be the one who will make my own food because if keep on eating outside, I could end up eating more than allowed. For sure, I can also eat out sometimes but it should not be everyday. I could retain my sandwich breakfast but I will be including veggies like lettuce and tomatoes to my sandwich. I could have some nuts or nuttela for snacks. For lunch, it can be sandwich again as I bought some chicken ham. Dinner will be my lightest meal as I will probably just be eating cereal for most of the days. I will try to avoid eating rice the whole month. I will check if indeed rice is a counter weight loss item.
Supplementation and Rehydration:
Ripped Fuel Extreme will be taken at the meal before working out. I will take a tab before most breakfasts and probably some dinners. Amino Chewables will be taken before sleeping everyday. It could be 2 tabs on heavy workout days. Endurance Fuel will be mixed with Gatorade or Powerade for my drinks. I am not so concerned flavor so most of my drinks a bit diluted.
My bottom line this month is really just about my weight. I really want to go way below 200 lbs for me to take on higher goals like strength and muscle building. I want to lose a lot of weight because I want to do longer runs and to focus next on functional fitness. For the past few months, it has been mix and match, and I realized that it is sometimes better to just focus one goal first. Hopefully, I will hit my targets for the month and really start to get fit in the summer season of 2013.
