Back on track. I waited for about 10 days for this tummy bug to clear up before I went to the pharmacy to get probiotics to sort it out. Started on Tuesday with Lower Body weight training, Thursday morning 45min aerobic session, 30min on elliptical trainer and 15min on exercise bike. This evening (Thursday) I did upper body. I tweaked my program slightly. The last 2 sets I do to failure. The first 4 sets basically primes my muscles for the final 2. Feels great.

Well Friday is here but unfortunately still too weak to exercise. Have to make a visit to the pharmacy because it's been a week now and only a slight improvement. I found some interesting info on advanced nutrition for athletes. I will post it soon.

Still feeling too weak to exercise. This tummy bug has really knocked me for a loop. I hope it doesn't carry on for too long. I miss the workouts and working the plan.

My health is very important especially when it comes to training. I got a tummy bug mid week and couldn't do my workouts because my body was extremely weak. I still managed to meet my 'tube' loss goals, that is, the tube around my stomach. Dropped it down to 91.5cm. I will confirm that tomorrow morning. At 87cm I will switch to muscle building phase. My aim is to toggle between 87cm and 90cm waist line and see how that works out.

Fantabulous...45min of blood sweat and tears, ok maybe thats a bit dramatic but definitely a great work out. I feel that I have been wasting my time with my aerobic sessions all this time until I started to take a militant view and attitude towards bad fats. Why handle it gently when it's out to kill me through heart disease and strokes and a million other fat related problems. Not pussy footing around this enemy anymore.
I have said it before, you are your greatest enemy. I remember reading a...

33 min on the elliptical trainer and I took no prisoners. 12 minutes on the exercise bike, by that time I surrendered willingly lol. Good effective and efficient workout. Blasting this fat from all angles. I have come to discover that you don't mess with fat especially abdominal fat on men and thighs for woman.

Prepared well for this session, good nutrition and sufficient rest. Concentrated on my form for biceps and really blasted the workout. My home gym equipment is ideal for getting a full body work out and I enjoy exercising at home because it saves loads of time. If you are interested and local, I could advise you on what equipment you would require that would suit your physique, budget and space requirements.

At least 5 to 6 small meals per day containing a portion of Carbohydr...

Had a great week with regards to training, nutrition and rest. Stopped taking simply Slim capsules the beginning of the week to see what effect it will have and found that the after effects did linger for a few days. I still believe it's better not to take supplements and to get all nutrition from fresh whole foods. ONE DAY some time in the future. The time it takes to collect it and prepare it is a major factor in anybodies lifestyle. I dropped one centimeter which is fantastic news. I am ju...
