Spring is at the door….. I cleaned up the garden a bit. Even the sun came out for a while. Daggy and JC made a super light thai chicken curry for lunch… mhh yummy and it had only around I guess 350 calories per plate most of it protein from the chicken breast.
After that I helped a bit in the house and did some work for my web stuff.
Tonight JC’s brings over her friends and of course they have pizza… I hope i can resist, because there is always left overs….

Morning weight was today 106.2 kg/234.10 lbs
And now its time for HIIT, I did not do it in the morning as it is Saturday and we all wanted to sleep a bit longer today.

HIIT done this morning.  Still lots of motivation in me.

We went yesterday to the movies and watched Grand Torinio, nice movie.
And the nachos with cheese tasted yummy:- )  I dont call it “cheat meal”.
Im not on any diet , I just try to have a good nutrition. And once in a while somethink like nachos must be ok.

Bit late today. Was really tired from yesterdays strong upper body workout.  So I did my cardio at 8am, better late and in form. Today I will get the car already back from that crash the other day. I hope will not be so much expensive….

Weight drop to 105.7 kg / 233.02 lbs

This morning I had hard time to get up. Needed 5 minutes to really wake up. Then fixing fast the vitamin drink, runners on, iphone on, and lets start stretching 2-3 minutes. Then doing the HIIT. I did I feel great again. My wife thinks 6:25 am is a bit early when she has off. So she was not very happy when the alarm started …..

4 weeks are completed now

Another day of HIIT cardio in the book. I still feel great.
Tomorrow I completed week 4 into my program.
Still very motivated I hope this time it will stay this way.

I started to use a new application on my iphone.
Its a timer for HIIT intervals. I will get later a link up to this nice software

Morning all, I just did finish my HIIT. I wonder how long I can keep up with this. Today I had record day on the scale. 107 kg/235.89 lbs !

6 cycles done on 30 seconds  3 on 45 secs   puuh

Check this video this what I do, on elliptical or bike and bit different timing. Also I do watch my heart rate and cycle between the bursts slowly.

Today’s HIIT was a killer, i did increase time to 45 second for 1st 2 cycles. Wow really this was hard and it is just 15 seconds more. I need to put some oil on the elliptical makes some funny noises the last days. My wife started to do HIIT as well may be its not made for so much stress.

Really feel great every day since I do AM HIIT. Pushes up my mood for the rest of the day. In the afternoon its weights lifting time for the arms.
