Ok, so I'm 6weeks into my diet and right on track.
I haven't lost any weight but have gone from being a little porker to having a full set of abs.
CARDIO
I always go through a muscle gaining phase when I start my diet, and drop bodyfat as a result. I've just started to do 30mins cardio twice a week, just treadmill walking. I've never had to do much for cardio but this year I'm going to use cardio alot more to get those glutes and hamstrings in.
From next week I'll up the cardio to 30mins and increase it to 3times a week and see how I go.
WEIGHTS
I'm now lifting very heavy for me, along with the muscle growth comes the strength. This is where I get my kicks!
Leg press I'm up to 360kg for 10reps. Bang Bang Bang, the weight will keep increasing now.
I've got about another month of getting stronger and then I will keep that strength throughout my diet. I don't get weaker towards the end, but I force myself to lift a little lighter to protect myself from injury! We can all be a bit more vulnerable to injury towards the end of diet.
DIET
I've also started my carb rotating which my body responds to very well, keeps my muscles full and drops that bodyfat. It's also a great way to judge day by day what effect a certain amount of carbs has on your look.
I've been eating egg whites, turkey, steak and shakes for protein.
Oats, potato and brocolli for carbs
And banana or snaka jaks for after training.
Almonds, egg yolk, steak for fats.
I'm having one cheat day a week but instead of my normal anything goes all day, I'm just doing a meal and desert and some sweet cereal. The previous years when I've dieted I did some serious binge eating on my cheat days and I don't feel the need to do that at the moment. Lets see how I feel another month in.lol Dominos on speed dial???
I'm going to get some progress pics up very soon so you can watch my body change.
If anyone is thinking of competing this year, or just wants to start getting that beach body give me a shout and lets gets cracking.
