Journey to leaness!!

[frogie2001]

OK team well thought I would share and share alike, the journey. I competed about 4 year ago and got pretty lean. so I have a target to get down to that level again, and soon. here is the photo of me in the back ground from about a month ago. yes it was cold going for a swim in the winter!!! Will post up some pics from half way on this nzbb challenge, and of course at the end

Hahah! Need a bit more size first. One day though. :grin:

[frogie2001]

well just to give everyone a progress update. cardio is going well, minimum of 20 min a day, and the weight training is changed around. loads of energy. I scored myself some fate burners, ripped fuel. and they give me a fairly good buzz in the morn, of course this is tied in with far too much coffee.

Well today o got told that I have chubby arms, which aren't hot. So with that in mind I kicked it into gear at the gym. Sweated my arse off. I have also concluded that unless I want to take up a career in wet tshirt competitions I should never wear White shirts at the gym. Did weigh

Myself before loosing 20kg of water to discover I am now 97.4 kg. So not a bad loss. Seeing tony L tomorrow to critique my diet and do a pinch test.

Nothing like a bit of motivation! :wink: Great effort though!

Let us all know how you go!

well another week down and feeling pretty good. had a 6 point pinch test and am around 19%. not bad from the 27% 4 months ago. also now down to 97.5kg. Cardio today 40 minutes of sweat and ACDC.

Fat burners are feeling good, a bit shakey off them in the morning. Although that also might have something to do with the 5 cups of coffee before 1000.

[frogie2001]

the start of another week, with a back day at the gym weighed in at 97kg. Only a 500gm loss, but slow and steady is the key. Saw one of the lads doing squats with 9 plates which put my heavy days in a new perspective.

[frogie2001]

what is it with shit workout days? chest day today, and no matter how hard I thought I was going, I still felt like it was only 80%. compared to my legs day, back and chest is always a let down. hmm. apart from a slack work out diet is going well, feeling hungry. and energy is still up there.

[frogie2001]

well another week or so down and a whole lot of cardio, supplements. and weights to count for it. I weighted myself today (a couple of days early) and i was down another kg for the week. so I am having my self a couple of beers for a friday night to celebrate

[startinfromscratch]

you should journal this mate, sounds like your making good progress!

[frogie2001]

well I think this has turned into my journal, blog, what ever it should be called. weighed myself this evening and now 96.7kg. so another loss to add to the whole target. think that my real target is 85kg. so something tangible to aim for.

[frogie2001]

I hate it when you have your routine interrupted, either due to work or personal it still sucks!. went down to Napier and couldn't make it to the gym, not only that but got dragged out to the pub to "entertain". felt like arse the next day and am still thinking it wasn't worth the effort. hopefully back on track now, so am about to tear into some tuna and vege to get back on track.

[Deburgh]

lol i know that feeling.. in my case damn earthquakes!!

You have got to have a social life too

[frogie2001]

woo hoo, 96.4kg.

so another loss hopefully it was all body fat. time to get a pinch test to check

[frogie2001]

another weekend of forgetting my targets. so my brother had a birthday dinner and the other half made a triple choc baked cheese cake. had to have a bit. that in conjunction with a cold for the last week and the weight jumped back up to 97.8kg. Not taking it to heart . just getting back into it. I have noticed the old mid section is starting to thin down a bit. so seeing is believing and I'm beginning to believe. Wondering when the final photos are due.

[frogie2001]

well another week and another weigh in. 96.8kg. so all in all to date around 10kg lost since I got back from london. doing a pinch test tomorrow so here's hoping the ol' BF has dropped too.

[AgentOrange]

why do you have a journal in the pics section?
