6 week 6 pack plan

Day 40. Friday. weigh day #6 the end results.

2011-05-27T02:38:00.000-07:00

So here it is, the big day. The final weigh in.

The goal was to loose 6 kilos of fat in six weeks (really 39 days) and end up with a six pack.

Our theory was simple:
As I began the training with a good amount of muscle mass and training experience our focus was stripping the fat and not building muscle mass (that would take much longer).
The goal was to have a calorie deficit of 1000 kcal a day so my body would burn off more than 158g fat as energy. We also new we needed at least 2g of protein per kilos body weight in order to avoid loss of muscle mass.

The method was pretty straight forward:

Eat 1800 kcal a day of which there must be minimum 160g protein (that accounts for 672 kcal) and preferably 500g vegetables.
Train 12 times a week spread over 6 days. 3 x heavy weight training, 3 x interval training and 6 hours of cardio with a pulse averaging 70-75% VO2 max.
1 rest day a week

6 weeks on I've averaged an intake of 1736 kcal per day and stuck to my training schedule, with only one unplanned rest day.

On the 15th of April I weighed 82 kilos and had a fat % of 21.8 that is 17.9 kilos.

I looked like this.

Today after only 39 days I weigh 75.3 kilos and have a fat % of 15 that is 11.3 kilos. WOW

That means that I have lost 6.6 kilos of pure fat that is 170g per day!!

And here is the picture....

That is pretty amazing if I do say so my self.

I got the definition I was after, I lost more then 6 kilos and you can not deny that is a six pack.

I am extremely happy, the results are way beyond my expectations. Not only 10% over the goal but the end result is excellent.

Here is a picture of all the readings, you can see them all in the blog if you want to check the details.

And here is a close up of todays results.

I'm going to take it easy this weekend, drink a couple of beers and enjoy my self. Then back to training on Monday, I'm going to stick to a softer version of the program to try and remain the weight I am now. I don't want to loose any more weight or even up my muscle mass. I'm going to update the blog in 6 weeks so you can see how I am holding out.

Thanks for reading.

Day 39. Thursday. Special thanks

2011-05-26T09:25:00.000-07:00

It's the last day of the challenge and I can't wait to drink a beer tomorrow night!!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody that has supported me with the program. Thanks to Proteinfabrikken for their great products, Chris Pickering for challenging me on a daily basis, thanks to Patrick Boiken for pushing me, thanks to everybody (and there are so many of you) who has shown there interest and support for the project.
I need to especially thank my wife Rikke. She has been fantastic. From day 1 she jumped at the chance to join in and has even lost a couple of kilos herself. She has put up with buckets of protein powder everywhere, with me being tired all the time, me frying chicken at 6 am in the morning and training for hours in the weekend. Without her support this would not have worked at all. Thank you.

Todays training consisted of the 30-30 intervals followed by 30 min x-trianer and 30 min cardio wave.
Total of 1 hour cardio. No problems.

Hello again.

It's Wednesday and the penultimate training day of the challenge.

On the program today was Patricks weight training program. Changed it up a little, kept the exercises but just super setted everything with stomach exercises to get a real good ab workout. I followed that with 1 hour of outdoor running. It was windy and cold.

Day 37. Tuesday. At home with Elliot.

2011-05-24T11:25:00.000-07:00

Hi everybody.

My son (Elliot) fell off the sofa last night and sprained his ankle (just like his Dad) so I was off work today looking after him as he can't walk enough to be in school. He's going to be fine don't worry.

That's just means that I couldn't train in the morning and that I had to train in the evening when my wife got home. That is actually a blessing. I always find it hard to train Tuesday mornings after playing football late Monday night so today I had the chance to recuperate and train even harder in the evening.

The days training was:
30 min run to SATS Hvidovre followed by 4X5 intervals (4 min high interval, 2 min active break x 5) on the step machine after that I ran home another 30 min cardio.
All in all 90 min cardio.
Just for the record I did not enjoy it at all. I had my football shoes on as my running shoes are still at work (hens the intervals on the stepper not the treadmill), the wind was against me all the way out there, my ipod ran out of battery after 20 min and I rained on the way home. But we're to close to be skipping sessions now.

Hello everyone.

It's Monday and I've been on 10g Proteinfabrikken creatine a day for 14 days now so as from tomorrow I'll be down to 5g.

It's a busy day at work today so that means I need to making an early start.

I started this morning with Patricks weights program plus some extra ab exercises (kneeling crunches super set with windscreen wipers) followed by 45 min cardio. Then I'll work for about 10-11 hours and in the evening finishing up with 1 hour football. I'll sleep well tonight!!
So 105min cardio all in all for the day just a little more spread out than usual.

Day 35. Sunday. The last rest day. Pancake day

2011-05-22T11:29:00.000-07:00

Today was my rest day and I spent it doing home improvements, so very little rest again.

I spoke with the nice people at Proteinfabrikken again as I needed refills. I told them that I was doing well but of course I miss a little something sweet and tasty once in a while. "No problem" they say. "try our protein pancakes."

Low calorie content, high in protein and they taste better then normal pancakes. Just what I need. Thanks Proteinfabrikken. I'm not a body builder and I have no ambition of being one but to be fair these are a body builders dream.

Day 34. Saturday. Blistering pace.

2011-05-21T12:28:00.000-07:00

Hi Everybody.
It's Saturday and I'm doing very well.

After the run yesterday I left my running shoes at work forgetting that I meant to run today. No problem I'll just use these other trainers I have, they'll be fine I thought to my self.

I ran 30 min to SATS Hvidovre. Got on the treadmill and did the 30 sec max speed, 30 second off X 15 intervals. Then I ran the 30 min home.
Half way I thought I felt a slight discomfort on my left big toe, on closer inspection when I got home I have the mother of all blood blisters.

Sorry you had to see that. The picture is pretty pore but believe me it is huge.

As I said I'm doing good now. I enjoyed the run and the intervals today. I'm back on top and full of energy. I'm ready for the finishing sprint. Rest day tomorrow then 4 days of hard work. I will get those 900g off.

Let's look at the days food. I had to run early today so I ate as soon as I woke up to avoid feeling sick.

See you tomorrow.

Day 33. Friday. Weigh day # 5.

2011-05-20T10:03:00.000-07:00

Here it is, it's Friday again. It's weigh day.

Now there is just 6 days left of the program and I'm pretty close. You're going to have to scroll down if you want to see just how close I am.

Today I trained for the last time with my personal trainer Patrick Boiken. It was hard but that is just what I need.
I'm on my own now for the duration and I'm going to hit it as hard as I can to make sure to rip those abbs and squeeze every possible gram of fat out of my body.
After training with Patrick I ran outside for 45 min. That was tough and I felt drained after the weights session but I feel good now.

The food: I'm going to cut back a bit on the calories.1650-1700 kcal is the goal for the last 6 days. Still 160g protein.

25g Proteinfabrikken whey Isolate powder (93 kcal) about 24g protein

1 banana (80 kcal) 1g
100g Strawberries (32 kcal)
100g Pineapple (50 kcal)

Todays total 1669 kcal with 162g protein

So here are the results.......

On the 15th of April I weighed 82 kilos there of 21.8% fat which is 17.9 kilos.
After 1 week 80.7 kilos, 20.3% fat which is 16.4 kilos.
After 2 weeks 80 kilos, 18.4% fat which is 14.7 kilos of fat.
After 3 weeks 79.9 kilos, 17.8% fat which is 14.2 kilos of fat.

After 4 weeks 78.1 kilos, 17% fat which is 13.3 kilos of fat.

After 5 weeks 77.6 kilos, 16.5% fat which is 12.8 kilos of fat.

This week I have lost another 500g of fat. That puts me on a total fat loss of 5.1 kilos in 5 weeks.

Still ahead of schedule but that puts the pressure on a little bit, it's going to go to the wire. Now I really need to knuckle down to loose the last 900g in the next 6 days. No missing training now no matter how tired I am.

Check this picture out. I look a bit of a psycho here, honestly I'm really quite a nice guy.

Now we're starting to see some results. It's also really noticable in my face as well.
The hard work is starting to pay off.
There is still room for improvement, always room for improvement.

Tomorrow is for running and intervals. Hope you have a great weekend.

Day 32. Thursday. Never underestimate the power of sleep.

2011-05-19T10:50:00.000-07:00

Hello again.

Today the blog notched up it's 1000th visit. Thankyou everybody for all the support.

Today is Thursday and It's the penultimate weigh in tomorrow. Last week I was on track and only 1.4 kilos of fat away from my goal. I'm quietly confident.
Today I'm back on top form again.

Never underestimate the power of sleep!! I've had 2 nights with 9-10 hours sleep and now I'm feeling as good as a very good thing.

Today I did the 4x4 intervals on the tredmill (4 min max speed 2 min 8km/h X4) and it felt really good. After that I did 30 min on the X-trainer at a good tempo, 5 min skipping (hard) and then rounded off with 30 min on the cardio wave all in all 65 min cardio. I felt I could do more but I don't want to have to rest again tomorrow.

The food: No slip ups today!! I was 82 kcal over yesterday so today I need to get that back.

Day 31. Wednesday. 1 month in.

2011-05-18T23:59:00.000-07:00

Wednesday the 18th

Feeling better today.
This morning I was feeling pretty flat but as the day went on I picked up a bit. We suspect that I might be a little low on iron. That explains the tiredness and that I look a little pale. I’m going to try to get some iron via some extra vitamin tablets the next couple of days. I hope that works.

Didn’t have the energy to take the boxing class after all but I did….

The normal weights program plus crunches on the swiss ball and dips.
After that I did 20 min on the sofa bike and 20 min on the cardio wave machine. That gives me 40 min cardio I’m going for another 10 hours sleep tonight and I’m counting on being on top form tomorrow.

The food:

I miscalculated today for the first time. I didn’t type in the second portion of protein, the one for 40g (148 kcal), in my little food application on my phone so I’ve been under the impression that I’ve been well under today. Luckily I didn’t go too crazy today so only 82 kcal over. If I had known I would have dropped the banana on the late night snack. I’ll have to be less than 1700 tomorrow.

2011-05-17T10:26:00.000-07:00

Hi everybody.

I've only got 9 days left after today so I really need to make these days count.
Unfortunately today took me by surprise. After 2 hours of training yesterday morning and playing football late last night, today my legs felt like bags of sand. Heavy, wet and dragging behind me.

Needless to say after 15 min intervals on the treadmill I gave up. So I tried cycling. After 15 min cycling I had to give that up too. Much less cardio then planned today but there is nothing I can do about it. What I need now is 10 hours sleep and a fresh start in the morning. I can catch up tomorrow by doing a 90 min boxing class on top of the normal and then sleeping well tomorrow night. That should put me back on track.

Day 29. Monday monday. Hard day but a good day.

2011-05-16T10:38:00.000-07:00

Hello.

It's monday and I'm good and tired today after a short weekend. Even though I feel tired I'm still having a good time with this. It's hard and draining but I feel like I'm learning loads from the experiance and that the result will be well worth it.

I've done the weights program with a couple of changes today:
I super set

Squats with incline press but now I want to press 36k in each hand and I can't get them up on my own (no puns needed thanks!) so that presents a problem.
Corner twists with lunges with my back foot on a bench.
Ring wide grip chins with side raises
Chest press machine (as I felt I didn't get enough out of the incline press on my own) with Hamstring curls
Bench crunches with windsreen wipers (hang from a chin up bar straight legs lifted swing from side to side)

So two more exercises then normal.
After that I did 15 min on the sofa bike, 15 min on the stepper, 15 min on the cardio wave and finish off with 15 min on the cardio bike. 60 min total cardio today. Plus I'm going to play 1 hour of football tonight. Big day for training. Hope I can still train tomorrow morning I still have 1.3 kilos off fat to drop!!

Day 28. Sunday.

2011-05-15T09:37:00.000-07:00

Hello again.

It's Sunday, intervals and cardio today.

I forgot to tell you about the ice cream experience form Friday. As you know I saved up 300 kcal during Friday and rewarded my self Friday night with an almond magnum. After 4 weeks with no sugar, other then what I get from fruit, it was quite a mind blowing experience. It's like nothing else in the world existed in those 5 min it took to eat them, I tasted soooo unbelievably good. I actually felt a bit dizzy after and didn't feel too hungry. Worth it.

Today I ran to SATS Hvidovre with my brother in law Emil, he's a cool guy. It took us about 20 min. There I did 30-30 intervals, 30 sec as fast as I can then 30 sec off for 15 min. Then we ran/ walked home. That took about 30 min.

I'm going to class that as intervals + 30 min cardio.

I really enjoy the high intensity intervals, it really suits me. I like too run fast and I hate endurance training. So with the intervals I get the improved speed and lung capacity I want with out being stuck to a treadmill for 2 hours. Plus working with such a high pulse really gives my metabolism a kick.

Dy 24. Wednesday. Leon discovers an important fact.

2011-05-14T03:51:00.000-07:00

I discovered late last night that I have been using a 3g spoon not a 10g spoon for the creatine. Bollocks! Looking on the bright side this means that I've eaten about 20 kcal less then I thought I had for the last 3 days....... but I also missed out on 3 days muscle growth. Again bollocks.

Today I trained weights again and then ............................

Day 26. Friday the 13th. Its weigh day. #4

2011-05-13T10:29:00.000-07:00

Blogger has been down all day today and they seam to have lost my Wednesday and Thursday entries. I'll get in touch with them and try to get them back asap.

Hi everybody. It’s weigh day…… Can’t “weight” to see how it’s going. (sorry for that!!).

Today was a good training day.

I did the new weights program with my personal trainer Patrick Boiken it went well.

I’m squatting 160 kilos now. That’s more than double my body weight. Quite an improvement.

The program felt really good today, hard but good.
After the weights I did 10 min on the row machine, 10 min on the bike, 10 min on the stepper and then I ran home which took about 30 min so 60 min cardio all together.

And this is where I go crazy!!

I’ve seen to it that I’ve eaten my 6 meals, I’ve got enough protein and I’ve eaten 1522 kcal. So today I’m going to have an ice cream. It might mean that I’m super hungry when I go to bed but Fuck it. I need a treat and guess what?? I’m still under my 1800 kcal. Oh yeah.

The food: Note the complete lack of carbs, fruit or vegetables to make room for 1 magnum! Is it worth it?

25g Proteinfabrikken whey Isolate powder (93 kcal) about 24g protein

10g Proteinfabrikken creatine powder (39 kcal)

Breakfast (400 kcal) = 100g porridge oats and 100g skimmed milk. 17g protein

40g Proteinfabrikken whey Isolate powder (148 kcal) about 38g protein

Lunch (332 kcal) =133g of pork frikadella on 1 piece of rye bread + 27g pro

Main meal split into 3 (500 kcal) =250g pork frikadella + 50g protein

Magnum ice cream (party party) 260 kcal + 3,5g protein

1782 kcal + 159,5g protein.

The results……

Ok everybody, here’s the weeks pic. Starting to get some definition, I’m nearly there. I think the creatine has given me the boost I was looking for in strength but also in muscle tone.

On the 15th of April I weighed 82 kilos there of 21.8% fat which is 17.9 kilos.
After 1 week 80.7 kilos, 20.3% fat which is 16.4 kilos.
After 2 weeks 80 kilos, 18.4% fat which is 14.7 kilos of fat.
After 3 weeks 79.9 kilos, 17.8% fat which is 14.2 kilos of fat.

After 4 weeks I weighed in at 78.1 kilos, 17% fat which is 13.3 kilos of fat

It looks like I have lost 600g of muscle this week, which is strange. We will have to wait until the end of the 6 weeks to see if we think there was a mistake in the initial muscle mass gain but let’s not analyse too much now, we'll do that at the end.

This week I have lost another 900g of fat. That puts me on a total fat loss of 4.6 kilos in 4 weeks god dam it!!!!

I’m 1.4 kilos off my goal. The goal is very much in sight and I’m feeling confident.

I'm off to enjoy my ice cream. As I have to work tomorrow I'll take a rest day. I'll let you know what I end up eating. Have a great weekend.

Day 25. Thursday. Leon burns out.

2011-05-11T22:38:00.000-07:00

Hej everybody.

I'd like to thank everybody for their support so far. Tomorrow it has been 4 weeks and it is crazy how much people ask me about the project. There has been over 750 visits to the blog and everybody is so possitive. Thanks for that. Thanks of course to proteinfabrikken for their support It all makes it so much easier for me to keep it up.

Yeah I hit a wall today. After training until 8.30 pm last night I went home, slept and started training again at 8.30 am this morning. Not so smart.

I attempted the 4x4 Intervals but couldn't keep up. After 2 sets I decided to drop it and go for a run. I ran for 30 min to SATS Parken, when I got there I sat my self on a bike and cycled for 30 min. After that I attempted to run back to SATS Nørrebro. Nope. No way. I ended up walking all the way.

Total 1747 + 167g protein all good.

Tomorrow is weigh in day and i'm nervous. I'm starting to look cut, you'll be able to see on the pics but I don't know if I've dropped that much fat. We'll have to wait and see. Have a great night.

Day 23. Tuesday. Unintentionally low calorie day.

2011-05-10T11:22:00.000-07:00

Hi everybody.

I tried the next of Patricks new interval programs on the tread mill today. Now we alternate between the one I did on Saturday, which is 30 seconds on at max speed and 30 seconds break 15 times. The one today is called the 4 X 4. Run 4 min as fast as you can then take 2 min "rest" on 8 km/h repeat 4 times. Total of 24 min on the tread mill.
After that I did 30 min on the x-trainer with my pulse over 75% and then 15 min on the cardio bike. I had to sit down after that.

Today I did the food a bit differently. I took 2 pieces of rye bread and about 6 small chicken fillets with me to work. Instead of having them as a meal or two meals I ate them one by one as I got hungry through out the day. That with my big protein shake lasted me from 9am till about 6pm. This inadvertently put me well under with my total calories for the day, but still plenty of protein. Bonus!

The food:

25g Protein Fabrikken whey Isolate powder (93 kcal) about 24g protein

10g Protein Fabrikken creatine powder (39 kcal)

Breakfast (400 kcal) = 100g porridge oats and 100g skimmed milk. 17g protein.

2 pieces of rye bread (157 kcal) + 2g protein

6 small chicken fillets or about 225g (245 kcal) + 45g protein

During / after training 40g Protein Fabrikken whey Isolate powder (148 kcal) about 37g protein

Main evening meal, wok dish (346 kcal) + 33g protein=
96g carrots (30 kcal)
47g broccoli (16 kcal)
50g asparagus (11 kcal)
7g red chilli pepper (2 kcal)
66g courgette (13 kcal)
48g red pepper (14 kcal)
37g onoin (14 kcal)
165g chicken (181 kcal) 33g protein
bit of curry powder (15 kcal)
table spoon of oil (50 kcal)

Later on I'm going to have a nice 183 kcal snack with 8g protein in it.
200g A38 (80 kcal) + 7g proetin
1 banana (80 kcal) 1g protein
45g blue berries (23 kcal)

Days total 1611 kcal! That's 10% under the goal but still 166g protein. Wow. I bet I'll be hungry tonight.

Day 22. Monday. Ankle still not 100%

2011-05-09T10:54:00.000-07:00

Side lifts on the bench.

That went well. After that I did 65 min spinning on my own. Really high intensity pulse on minimum 75% vo2 max.

Day 20. Saturday. New intervals

2011-05-07T13:34:00.000-07:00

Hi again.

We've introduced some new intervals today to try and keep my metabolism as high as possible.

I'm starting doing 30-30 intervals on the tread mill. 30 seconds sprint as fast as possible and 30 seconds off. Repeat 15 times. I started on 21 km/h and increased the speed to 23 km/t but i felt like I could a little more so next time I'm going to start on 24 km/h see what happens.

Before the intervals I ran to the gym which took about 25 min and after I ran the long way home, about 35 min so 1 hour cardio in total.
I felt the run a lot in my knee today. I need to be careful.

The food:

It's been tough to keep track today, I've been to a birthday dinner. I stayed away from carbs, cake, sugar and alcohol. The quantities are educated guesses for the most part.

25g Protein Fabrikken whey Isolate powder (93 kcal) about 23g protein

10g Protein Fabrikken creatine powder (39 kcal)

Breakfast (400 kcal) = 100g porridge oats and 100g skimmed milk. 17g protein.

Have a great day tomorrow.

Day 19. Weigh in #3, Protein fabrikken and a new weights program.

2011-05-06T10:43:00.000-07:00

It's Friday and I'm half way.

I got some good stuff for you today. Of course the results of the weigh in and the weekly picture. But first.......

As I mentioned previously. I spoke to the nice people at Protein Fabrikken http://www.proteinfabrikken.dk if you want to check it out. They thought my 6 week 6 pack plan was a cool project and wanted to help me reach my goals. After talking to their experts they came good and sent me.....

Whey Isolate protein powder. It's really high quality protein powder that is practically carb free, has really low lactose content and tastes quite nice.

Creatine. This is my secret weapon. Creatine enhances muscle growth by (very basically) binding water in the muscle cells. It's going to give me more definition and more power. This is a 6 pack challenge so I do need to make my muscles bigger. The Danish recommended doses is 3g per day. So that is what I have to recommend, but I am going to take 10g per day for 2 weeks then 5g per day for the last week which is pretty much what they recommend in the rest of the world. Don't taste so great! There is a risk that this might slow my weight loss so we need to keep a close eye on my progress. If I feel that it effects my weight loss I'll drop it after a week.

The PF experts also sent me some daily vitamin tablets and some daily mineral tablets to make sure I get all the good stuff I need. Isn't that nice of them? 2 mineral tabs and 1 vitamin tab per day.

That is what I've got in my corner, let's see what happened today.

It's new program day with Patrick Boiken my personal trainer. We're still going to train the full body 3 times a week but we're going to change up the program to keep provoking growth and strength.

The new program is......

Squats (same as before)
Incline dumbell press
Hamstring resistance exercise (I lie on my stomach, bend my legs up as Patrick sits on my back and pushes my legs towards the ground. I have to hold against.)
Corner twists (same as before)
Ring rotations aka skin the cat. Hang in the olympic rings lift legs all the way over your head and then controlled back to starting position) This is an ab killer.
Walking lunges
Wide grip chin ups in the olympic rings.
Side lifts on the bench. To target the obliques.

We have planned from the start to increase the focusing on the abs during the next 3 weeks.

After all that I used the step machine for 25 min, rowed on the row machine high intensity for 6 min and then 30 min cycling. 1 hour and 1 min of cardio.

The food:

30g Protein Fabrikken whey Isolate powder (111 kcal) about 28g protein

10g Protein Fabrikken creatine powder (39 kcal)

Breakfast (400 kcal) = 100g porridge oats and 100g skimmed milk. 17g protein.

After training 30g Protein Fabrikken whey Isolate powder (111 kcal) about 28g protein

Meal split into 2 (590 kcal) gives me 60g protein=

100g Chic peas (365 kcal) + 20g protein
100g cucumber (12 kcal)
1 carrot (31 kcal)
1 small spring onion (5 kcal)
1 tomato (15 kcal)
140g tinned tuna (162 kcal) + 40g protein

Snack (65 kcal) = 1 apple

Meal (351 kcal) + 40g protein =
1 chicken breast (160 kcal) 30g protein
87g carrot (35 kcal)

116g Broccoli (40 kcal) 3g protein
90 g Green peas (70 kcal) 5g protein
170 g courgette (34 kcal) 2g protein
30g onion (12 kcal)

Late night snack, as always, (80 kcal) + 8g protein
200g A38 (80 kcal) + 8 g protein

Todays total: 1747 kcal 181g protein.

To the results.

On the 15th of April I weighed 82 kilos there of 21.8% fat which is 17.9 kilos.
After 1 week 80.7 kilos, 20.3% fat which is 16.4 kilos.
After 2 weeks 80 kilos, 18.4% fat which is 14.7 kilos of fat.
After 3 weeks 79.9 kilos, 17.8% fat which is 14.2 kilos of fat. So I've lost another 0.5 kilos of fat this week!! 200g of muscle growth and and holding a little extra water then last week.

This puts me on a total fat loss of 3.7 kilos in 3 weeks !!
The pictures aren't great but the difference is really starting to show.

I'm happy because I'm ahead of schedule, but I need to make sure this isn't the start of the slow down. If I loose 0.5 kilos a week for the next 3 weeks I'll end on 5.2 kilos and that isn't good enough.

Let's hope the new weights program gives me a boost, the creatine gives me extra power to train harder and my ankle gets better so I can run a bit more.

Have a great weekend every body. Check the blog again tomorrow.

Day 18. Mind over matter.

2011-05-05T11:24:00.000-07:00

Last night I made a consious decision to not feel shite anymore. And that is exactly what I'm going to do.

Today I've done nearly 2 hours of cardio and had a massage so I'm feeling pretty good rite now.

I started the day with my 3-2-1 intervals, same as ususal. I strapped my ankel up and it didn't bother me too much (until I was finished with the run).
Then I ran 20 min form SATS Nørrebro to SATS Parken. At Sats Parken I did 30 min on the x-trainer then I ran back doing a couple of laps around the park, that took about 35 min. My pulse was over 75% all the way. Pretty effective.

After that I had a massage with Mette from Urban Health http://www.urban-health.dk/ that was great. She fixed my ankle and squeezed a whole load of nasty stuff out of my calfs. Feeling fine. Apparently My lowerback is too tense, that effects my squat technique, but let's not get into that rite now.

Now I'm ready for the weigh in tomorrow. I feel like I didn't give my all at the start of the week so I'm a little bit nervous that that might effect the results. fingers crossed.

Day 17. Wednesday. 10 hours sleep makes a difference.

2011-05-04T12:58:00.000-07:00

Hi again everybody.

Do not under estimate the power of a good nights sleep!!

I'm feeling better today, although my ankle is still hurting.
I still think the diet is hard and I'm constantly thinking about all the food I can't eat, but today is better than yesterday. Not so moody, not so tired. That might have something to do with the 10 hours sleep I got last night. God dam it I needed that.

I trained weights again today.
I could feel the squats in my ankle a lot but I think I should be able to do intervals tomorrow.
My cardio was 1 hour cycling.

All is good. I feel like I've been behind in the cardio this week. After my intervals tomorrow I'm going to see if I can do 90 min cardio.

See you tomorrow.

Day 16. Tuesday. football is bad for you.

Hello again.

The plan today was 1 hours cardio and the 3-2-1 intervals again.

Same as last Tuesday, after playing football Monday night I started the day injured. This time it's my ankle that got hammered. A poorly timed tackle by our buddy Martin and I have to rethink my training for the day, hopefully not for the week!!

Training:

I ran for 30 min, cycled for 45 min and then ran for 20 min. A total of 95 min cardio instead of intervals. I do need to get the pulse up higher then I did today but it should be ok for once.

I'm starting to find this hard now. The first two weeks I ran on my fat deposits and all was good. Now it feels like that is starting to slow down, I can really feel the low carb diet draining my energy. I'm tired again today, but not as moody as I was yesterday. I'm going to bed at 8pm to see if I can freshen up for tomorrow. I'm cooking up some chick peas for tomorrow so tomorrow is going to be a good day.
