Yeah Bec, the aim is to lose fat, the 2nd HIIT cardio was supposed to be 30 minutes but I forgot what I was doing and then I miscalculated :oops:

Yeah Beowulf, I learnt the first time with my knee! I've actually been going to the physio for my heel for 16 appts (acc) but it hasn't helped a lot. Can't really afford to go to the podiatrist at Wakefield, to much $$$

It is lol but the most challenging part is not have the $$ to stock up on the high protein nom noms. :D

Speaking of the pets, I bought a flea comb and my boy is not talking to me, infact whenever I walk past him, he hunches over and scowls hahaha. :twisted: He did however claw me for my troubles, little bastard!

Trying to now talk my DH into gaining some muscle :roll: hard road that one coz he much prefers fruits & veggies to meats, he'd happily eat fruit salad 3 times a day. He's often offered me that for dinner with a resounding fk off as an answer lol. Oh well, I'll just keep at it :D

So, I (well my mum) sold a few of my home made soaps \:D/ extra $$ :pfft:

7/2 - cardio walked from Johnsonville to Molesworth Street, took me about 1 hour 40 mins (for someone who detests walking and never does it much, this is an achievement!)

8/2 - Back/biceps + 2 hour walk into work.

Opti suggested a new way of doing my weights so I followed his advice. Found it much better. The reps are 12,8,6,4 & its in kgs unless otherwise noted.

Bentover d/b rows - 7, 8, 9, 11

Underhand pull downs- 24, 24, 30, 36 (lbs - I think)

Hyper xtns - I have now progressed to using weights for this. 2.5, 2.5, 5, 10

Concentration curls - 5, 6, 7, 8

Standing b/b curls - 8, 12, 14, 16

9/2 - nothing had back to backs the whole day and couldn't make it to the gym. :(

10/2 - legs/abs

Squats - progressed to using weights :D b/w, 8, 12, 16 - a2g squats

D/b lunges - 8, 9, 11, 13

Leg curls - 2, 3, 4, 5 (plates - I don't know the weights on them)

Straight leg dead lift - 16, 18, 20, 20 \:D/ PB

Calves - without shoes - 25 (both at once), 15 (1 leg at a time), 20 (both), 30 (both & with shoes). - my calves were burning by the time I finished, I couldn't walk properly \:D/

Crunches - with a 5kg weigh, 4 x 15

Haning leg raises - 12, 12, 4 - I find these really hard coz I can't hold my flubbular mass up! :cry:

11/2 - cardio 1hr 50 min hour walk into work.

Nice work on the PB. How are you going at measuring your failure set? You should be hitting a few more PBs over the next few weeks ... just make sure you are keeping good form.

Looks like a pretty solid week in anycase - well done. Have you done your home-work? :grin:

Nice, I used to do a few of these on the decline bench. Worked up to 35kg of plates before my hernia... maybe a contributing factor? :pfft:

I also tried to bench press the 40kg dumbbells today and failed, then tried to sit up with them... which I failed to do as well (think of a sit up with 80kg on chest) and I don't think it helped my hernia :pfft:

What route do you take? I go down Ngauranga Gorge then along the Hutt Road/Thorndon Quay. I don't know if it's the quickest route though - certainly not the most scenic :lol:

Home work is going well Opti :D I'm doing it in excel because I'm a mong and can't count :grin: Having a hard time trying to balance the calories with everything else. It's like a never ending logic puzzle!!

I walk down Ngauranga as well. Plus at the bottom of the gorge I usually grab 4 or 5 blackberries, not completely ripe so I get a nice pick me up. They're fairly tart so that's good. At least in my head its good :grin:

DRWK possibly :pfft: That's sorta like me thinking I (this was a couple of years ago now) was benching 15kg and I did 25kg coz mental math is not my strong point!! I don't really see how it could help your hernia, maybe if you do it often enough :wink:

Cardio today and I forgot my gym shirt :doh: I'll do a 50 min walk to Spotlight and get DH to get me from there. That way I won't look like a complete idiot walking with a workshirt and my trackies of hehe

My heel really played up on the weekend, it was hard walking anywhere! So I'm going to ask my physio to refer me on.
