Ok here ara my goals for the next 61 days

Nutritional goals:
I try to eat clean, but somethimes usually the weekends I loose controle. So I am going to be more stright about that stuff.. Also in some days I find myself eating way to litle. So my goal is to eat 5-6 times a day clean eating and also in the weekends

Fitness goals:
I want to lift weights 4x a week and do cardio 3x. And after the each weight lifting workout I will do 20min cardio.

Personal goals:
I will loose 17lbs about 8kg. I don´t have my bodyfat % so I don´t know exacly how much I would like to loose I can get that hopefully tomorrow.

Competetive goals:
I´m still trying to find something that will be going on here during this time, not much about thise things here. The only thing I know about will be around August 18th.


So here are my goals I think it´s all but if I think of anything else I will put it in here

Well now I have to pass the computer to my friend so he can also register for the challange

As the Challenge has gone global with folks in Australia, Switzerland and Iceland and who knows where else, I can see there might be some trouble finding a Competetive Event... we can work on that but in the meantime, focus your energy on the other goals.

Welcome and good on you for getting to the gym.

There's the times when it's really tough to get going... That's when I tell myself I'll just go and do something "light" ...knowing that once I'm there and doing it I'll be doing what I planned, sweating hard, and generally swearing at the stoopid bar.

Are you Icelandic? Or a transplant SomethingElse?

This works for me too "yep just go now and to some light cardio" then I end up doing the workout I was supposed to do

Yes I´m Icelandic

People I know are in Reykjavik. I forget what their last names are now, I know they changed them when they moved

I honestly didnt know Iceland was as small as it is.. wow. I figured it was at least a million people. I will make it there someday.

Nope not in the challenge, I have a log, but no challenge, im pretty happy with my progress so do anything different.

I need to get to Iceland, been a dream of mine since I first saw it on a map when I was a little boy.

Of course now the challenge is to convince the Misses to go.

Got any good pictures of Iceland that I can use as leverage, Adda?

Jim~

PS Best of luck in the next 60 some odd days!

So, I stopped in because I made a note that I was supposed to look for Adda's new and nifty updated lifting schedule. Unfortunately, I might be in the wrong time zone, but I stopped by anyhow.

Have a super spiffy and equally stupendous day!!

Hi Newman

Yes I got a new lifting schedule ok the one I had was 4 days (shoulders, legs, breast and tris, back and bis) and I did that one 3x 12/10/8.

But the new one is only upper and lower (2 days) so I´m supposed to lift one day and cardio the next and then lift, cardio and so on..... The trainer wants me to lift lighter than I have been doing, and 3x15. and after every workout 20min cardio. He sais this is suppose to burn more fat. I´m pretty strong and have muscles but it´s just the fat that I want to get rid of. I will try this for about a month and see how it works out.

What do you think of this?


Well my neutrition has been on track wich I´m verry happy with this is the hard part for me

Wokrouts also on track
