Workout Log 174: Week 24 Review

So today marks another completion to the RTP workout plan as I have now completed the 3rd month(12 week) for the 2nd time.  Woohhooo! =) It also marks 1 week into the 3rd journey/mission and 3 weeks left to get leaner and reach 5% fat. With Christmas just around the corner, this will not be easy. ;-)

Looking at my stats for this week, not much has changed from last week. I have gained 1 pound, and no changes around the waist. Aside from what the numbers show, I am however looking and feeling leaner.  The amount of cardio I had in the passed week has truely tired me out, and at the same time balanced out the amount of unhealthy foods I ate through-out the week.

Going into the weeks forward will not be easy as Christmas is fast approaching where the Christmas cakes, cookies, chocolates and pot luck lunches are yet to come. A very bad time to make any weight loss mission. ;-)

I will definitely try though. =)

Workout Log 173 - All I can eat Crab

Completed cardio and weight training where I worked on calves, back, triceps, abs and chest. As for cardio I spent extra time on the treadmill and burned approximately 350 calories total.

Later in the evening, I enjoyed a belated birthday dinner from the parents, where I stuffed myself with crab doused in butter. Since I knew about this dinner while working out in the afternoon, I stayed on the treadmill for an extra 15 min. run. Overall good day.


Tomorrow is a brand new workout as well as the weekly status review. Looking forward to it. =)

Workout Log 172 / Week 24 - Rest Day

Ahh....Rest day finally. No workout for today. Kept pretty on par with commitments except for sleep which is pretty consistent for every Saturday.

Tomorrow is the last day for weight training and cardio as a combo. Monday will start off fresh with a new workout plan and looking forward to changing the pace as I'm starting to get kinda bored and tired(literally) of this months plan. Plus the new plan will only be 30 to 40 min long instead of an hour. =)

Workout Log 171 / Week 24 - Pizza n' Poker

Completed 20 min HIIT cardio using the treadmill, where I used the itouch to help pass the time as well as changing the pace between running and jogging for the 20 min period.

Later on the evening, I played some poker with a few buds chowing down on a few slices of pizza, wings and 2 beers, marking today as my reward meal day.

Tomorrow is Rest Day and therefore no workout for tomorrow.....  =)

Workout Log 170 / Week 24 - Pigtails and Rice

As a true Trini-Canadian that I am, I still love my food from back home. I was totally craving pigtail and rice and instead of using white rice, I used brown rice.

As for the pigtail, well of course it's fatty, but limited myself to 3 pieces only instead of 6 to 8 pieces that I usually have. I also took off as much fat as I can prior to boiling it. Kinda looks like what is shown below.

So my calorie intake was raised a bit today, but with the intense workout, I think I should be ok. If you have not tried this Trinidad dish before, it tastes a lot better than it sounds. It also tastes a lot better with white rice, but if it's during your workout days, use brown rice to ease up on the calorie intake. I know, I know...It's like getting a Diet Pepsi with a BigMac, but hey- lesser calories the better. Right? =)

Tomorrow is 20 min HIIT Cardio where I'll be spending that time on the treadmill running and jogging. Lookin' forward to it. ;-)

Workout Log 169 / Week 24 - Swingin Like Spidey

Since I'm back in the swing of things, today was a snap....Today I worked chest, biceps, legs, back and abs. Also in between sets, completed a total of 15 min cardio on the treadmill switching from incline speed walk to a brisk run. Overall great workout and lookin forward to tomorrow's workout which will concentrate more on legs and my glutes... =)

Workout Log 168 / Week 24 - Back on Track

Looks like I'm back on track...I completed 45 min cardio on the treadmill and burned approximately 420 calories.....Hmmmm "420" -  my favorite number... ;-) .

While on the treadmill I avoided boredom by watching a movie on the itouch,  changed from a light jog to a run and then later changed to an incline speed walk. By the time I knew it, the 45 min was done...

As for other commitments, I stayed on par with eating and sleeping and looking forward to tomorrows weight training and light cardio.

Back on Track
