Red face •°¤*(¯`°ÑåtãLî€$°´¯)*¤°• Diary

Well after a bit of time i feel confident enough to start my own diary..

I'm a few weeks into my training and i think i'm doing quite well..

And Since getting myself some much needed guidance from 'TKD Guy' i have made some good progress..

My starting stats were:- on March 4th
Age:26
Height: 5'6
Weight: 177lbs
Body fat: 36% ( i know!!! not good!!)

I started taking T5s and Ephedrine to kick start my weight loss.. (which i have finished using now, i've run out!!) as i'd been inactive for quite some time.. I completely changed my diet, CUT all choc, carbs lowered and increased my protein.. which was a big deal for me.. i have a few MAJOR fobias.. (im strange!!)
then a few weeks in 'TKD Guy' took me under his wing, gave me LOTS of sound advice, Training regime and so forth... and so i started on my New routine...
I started hitting the HIIT hard, combined with 3x weekly Weights..

MON- 30 mins HIIT on rower -Chest, shoulders, Tri's
WEDS- 30 mins HIIT on rower - Legs, Abs
FRI- 30 mins HIIT on rower - Back, Bi's

and at home i have my own Punch bag.. (used to do boxing) and i have a go on that as often as i can, just for a bit of cardio (aggression) workout!!

My first recorded weight lifts were:- (all 3x8 rep sets)
BENCH PRESS- 15kg
INCLINE DB PRESS- 6kg
DB FLYS- 6kg
MILITARY PRESS- 6kg
LATERAL RAISES- 6kg
FRONT RAISES- 6kg
DIPS (weighted)- 45kg
DB KICK BACKS- 6kg
CABLE EXTENSIONS- 25kg
SQUATS- 6kg
LEG PRESS- 50kg
LEG EXTENSIONS- 40kg
HAM' CURLS- 40kg
CALF RAISES (on leg press)- 90kg
DB TOE RAISES- 10kg
SIDE BENDS- 10kg
LAT PULL DOWNS- 30kg
BENT DB ROWS- 6kg
SHRUGS- 9kg
DB CURLS- 8kg
HAMMER CURLS- 8kg
CONCENTRATION CURLS- 8kg
FOREARM CURL (palm up)- 6kg (palm down)- 6kg

and now 5 weeks later im at:-

Weight: 160lbs
Body Fat: 29% (getting there!!)

BENCH PRESS- 25kg
INCLINE DB PRESS- 10kg
DB FLYS- 10kg
MILITARY PRESS- 10kg
LATERAL RAISES- 10kg
FRONT RAISES- 9kg
DIPS (weighted)- 35kg
DB KICK BACKS- 10kg
CABLE EXTENSIONS- 35kg
SQUATS- 12.5kg
LEG PRESS- 100kg
LEG EXTENSIONS- 50kg
HAM' CURLS- 55kg
CALF RAISES (on leg press)- 130kg
DB TOE RAISES- 15kg
SIDE BENDS- 17.5kg
LAT PULL DOWNS- 40kg
BENT DB ROWS- 10kg
SHRUGS- 20kg
DB CURLS- 10kg
HAMMER CURLS- 10kg
CONCENTRATION CURLS- 10kg
FOREARM CURL (palm up)- 8kg (palm down)- 8kg

In 1 weeks time I'm taking my son to London for a Heart operation, so a week away from any form of exercise and i thought when i get back i might kickstart a new regime???

I was thinking
MON- 10 mins HIIT (Rower) - Chest, Shoulders, tri's
TUES- 40 mins HIIT (Rower)
WEDS- 10 mins HIIT (Rower) - Legs, Abs
THURS- 40 mins HIIT (Rower)
FRI- 10 mins HIIT (Rower) - back, Bi's

then at the weekends, just chill or do some bag work??

anyways.. if you got this far into the post.. Thankyou for reading!!

I agree. The weekends are to relax and enjoy life. Kick back and smile because you're going to be fit as hell woman!

Way to go Taekwondo! You created a little monster lol

Nice work on the lifts Natalie! Keep it up!

Hope you keep progressing and you know we're to help you if you ever run into any walls or plateaus! Don't get discouraged now!

Thank you Yeah this will be the hardest thing i've seen him go through, but he's spent more time in hospital than he has out... so i'm getting used to it now.. it's not fair that they have to go through so much at a young age

I always train in the evenings...I like it better actually! (I am not a morning person! ) If you are planning on eating before hand (which is a good thing) you should try to eat around an hour before you plan to workout...If you have to eat closer than that I would recommend a light meal that is high in protein. Good Luck!

In my opinion, training at night isnt such a good idea, becuase its like drinking coffee, cant sleep after it. But, you may be differnt, and I'd suggest eating before the gym so you wont get hunger pains that might offset your workout. Good luck.

I don't see a problem at with that. You could split you're meal, some before and a small portion after. IMO
