Day 23-24: Keeping up!

New week and new set of exercises. Pretty exciting! Although clearly things are getting tougher and tougher. I thought it would be easier to get around the PCP duties in the week end but it is not necessarily the case. Somehow I got used to my weekdays pace and in the week ends it actually requires more organization and will. 


The over 1000 jumps are done within more or less 15min I would say.But I think I will switch my rope soon as my arms are still the first part to suffer. I got used to it but probably when we'll have more and more jumps to do I don't want to be stopping every 200-300 jumps to rest the arms rather than work on the cardio. We'll see.
The rest of the workout is going ok. Although the whole new shoulder workout makes clearly my upper arm and shoulder burn. I also realized that for the shoulder workout I do not manage to get my breathing right: I inspire when lifting the arms (when the effort is intense) and expire to release. I am trying to control this but it seems opposite to natural for me on this exercise.


The food part is going ok. Again, a matter of organization but as long as this is fine I do not have any cravings and plus enjoy what I am eating. Funny thing is that now in the morning I am hungry! When I never used to be.


Sunny day here in HK,... let's enjoy !

  1. Ya it's nice to know that cravings can end so quickly. This will be something I'll remember for the rest of my life. I craved food the first night but last night was fine and think tonight will be no prob as well.

    My biggest question is am I getting enough protein? I calculated many times and I need a minimum of 128 g a day for proper body function but today I calculated I had about 80 g. Maybe this is some way to cleanse me. Not too tired but needed a mid day nap and kept yawning all day. Mind you it's cooking hot and when you get where there is arcon it makes you sleepy.

    Noticed some strength in some areas and a lack of strength in other areas, due to no rest or lack of protein maybe.

    Want to get thin so guess this is what is needed.
