Yesterday, I watched a documentary called Food matters on Netflix. Here is the trailer on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4DOQ6Xhqss and the link to the website http://www.foodmatters.tv/. It helped me put things into perspective. I highly recommend it.
Every morning same ritual. Right after waking up and a quick pit stop at the bathroom, I look for my scale. I was very tired this morning, feeling my legs heavy but when I saw that i lost 600g I got energetic and was motivated to head down to the gym. I did my exercises for 30 minutes. I find the push-ups the most difficult part and the one that makes me work the most.
When I was working out with a coach, workout sessions were too difficult and I felt very often dizzy. I started feeling the same at the beginning of PCP and I realized I am pushing myself too much even with the little amount of exercise. So I bought a heart rate watch monitor to track my heart rate and I realized that I feel dizzy when I go over my hate rate zone (160 bpm). Now with the watch, I pace myself to make sure I stay in zone most of the training. According to the watch, today's training burnt 325 Kcal in total (includes I think the natural metabolism).

wow, you are already seeing results after 6 days!
ReplyDeleteHi Karim,
ReplyDeleteWe are all proud of the good work. You should continue this way.
We are amazed by you having lost 1kg in just a few days... To celebrate this, I suggest a good and fatty Mcdonald's :)

Well done Karim. It really does make a differance to your attitude when you see the numbers falling on the scales. I had the same feeling last week. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteAlso- I'm the same with push ups. They are the hardest. i am only doing them with my knees on the floor and they are still a struggle!
