Resurrection

Officially started weighing myself from today. Am 76kg. Weighing time is now first thing in the morning, as opposed to previously weighing after gym.

The goal is to lose approx 1kg a week.

I have started Arnel's "16 weeks to six pack abs" workout regime. I have used it off and on in the past, but the last time (May 2012) the furthest I made it was to week 6. It is a high intensity workout plan. It made a real difference to my physique last time. Gets rid of the fat and puts on some muscle. Needless to say, good diet and nutrition go hand-in-hand with any workout program also.

I discovered Arnel's workouts on Youtube a couple years ago. Since then, he's changed them up a bit and has quite a few different programs. They're all free to use.


His old program I'm using on Youtube is:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDCWhw7b-wU

Over the months, I have collected a vast number of short (1-4 min) motivational audio clips (mainly converted from Youtube videos, sports ads, speeches, etc). I have a separate Ipod playlist for them, and they really help out when you're feeling unmotivated and without energy. These help me more than anything else to continue working out and reaching my fitness goals. I will share them in the near future, so keep an eye out.

Time to hit the gym!

The Story So Far.

Having neglected this blog for a while, I feel it's time for a revival.

As of today, December 2012, I am 165 (75kg). That's 10 pounds lighter than my previous post (which was almost a year ago!). This 75kg has been a plateau for a while now, and I either gain or lose a couple pounds every week.

In order to keep this blog consistent, I'm thinking keeping my weekly updates short, and then writing a larger monthly post with my regime strategies, motivation ideas, nutrition, etc.

Onwards!
