Daily Sugar Management

Going good  so far Fridays was under 38 grams of sugar and 1290 cal carbos = 1442 calories from carbos, a little low but I will be seeing the results
Yoga and Pilates Friday night
Saturday was even better 35 grams of sugar and 1512 cal carbos = 1652 calories total from carbos now you have to add it protein and fat and I am not really counting them... unless they become a problem
Doing yoga after supper - weigh in tomorrow to see if the drastic reduction in sugar can have short term recognizable proof of success.

Fitness test results - dedicated to the next year without sugar

Ran 2.4 km after a warmup almost 20 minutes - and I remember doing the same distance in 7:56.
All those who say I have a lot of work to do just to get it to 12 minutes - say Aye!
Accomplished the muscular portion 25 chin-ups, 50 pushups, 100 bicycle kicks(seated) and 50 step-ups in 8 minutes.

Now this will become my sugar register under the TITLE -  DSM  =Daily Sugar Management I will write two numbers (this is an example only) 200/25 which will be amounts of  carbohydrates/sugar.
All attempts to indicate ASPA - Aspartame or SUCRA - sucralose will be made however I am human ...

Yoga has been added and we have several and various exercises on the go, way too much.
Schedule will be put in tomorrow night - today was a dog walk working on joint mobility and foot plant - FAST;
Focus, alignment, speed, and t..... anyone anyone?

Trail Running and Tabata

Tried something a little different tonight, cooked supper for the family, set my portion aside.
Went trail running, 2.75 km - rolling terrain at a good pace 1 min on; 2 min walk the average
heart was 129bpm and the high was 173bpm.  Added in was the Tabata training - Body Rock style -
thanks so much for those creative and great and challenging workouts,  it was a tremendous bonus Sumo Leg Lifts, pushups, dips, left leg then right leg step ups  all those at various places on the trail run which either had logs or beams etc.

Lastly once at home slow controlled crunches, I think I can still feel my gluts and my lower abs.
Intense!  Then I ate after playing taxi.  Kids - I mean young adults!

Rocked It

Used 20 work to 10 Rest - once again building up to 50/10 once I see some changes in post HR or morning HR - a variety of pushups with the Perfect Pushup, a variety of leg exercises with Eurosport w/10Kg medicine ball and mostly bicycling for abs - all this while on the smaller red Aeromat .
More later maybe tomorrow - have not been feeling great, but it is getting better.

Tuesdays - Tough - Terrible - Results

Did a walk run - felt good, pace was good - distance was okay, more at the bottom end of medium than Hard.
However what made it tough was I body-rocked back at the house, 1 May/12 did my 12 minutes after my run,
wrote down my results for Squat Jump 1/2 Burpee; Alternating superman pushup; tricep dips; and bent knee situps.  Good Tuesday night and good night Tuesday!  We'll see the improvements in 1 month.

May....... I walk, till I run.... to fly

Well April has come and gone and a change in schedule is required, got to find some trails to run on, got to lean out (bodyrockin' this month)   Tues Eve and Sat morn will be H - for hard  there will be only 2 rest 1/2 days Tues am and Fri PM  2 med /4 light and 2 Wii and 2 Pilates - if I can pull it off for a week then another, then another then another you get the idea, bodyrockin' probably in the afternoons 5 out of 7 days each week.

Emphasis will be on taking one workout on at a time - for in the not so distant past, when I consider the whole week my workouts end up WEAK with a hole in the week either; middle or at one end or the other.
Couple of very solid efforts last week remember each work out builds on the last and REST is the most important factor after, stay hydrated stay away from sugar ...... eat well!

Tabata Training Tonight

Gymboss is a great tool once you follow the instructions and set up the timing, intervals work- W to rest - R (there are other timers out there so look around till you get the best deal or the easiest to understand) .
Body rock  TV is cool and motivating and has a different type of push in Tabata training.

To break into it carefully my approach is 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off change exercise, for 8 exercises two times thru - felt great - burning in the lungs, muscles tired etc. As well these leaves me lots of room to improve to get up to 50:10 (W : R)   max repetition effort to come in a few days, LOL.

Yes my doctor said I was good to go as long as I was progressive, stay injury free and.... breathe.......
Will have to add equipment as I go along to add variety, right now I am sticking with a medicine ball - Perfect Pushups and use them with certain exercises  which tonight included; (Squat Jumps; Pushups; Burpees; High Knees(running on the spot); Switch Lunges; Tuck Jumps; Tricep Dips; Any Ab ex - crunches) X 2

HR was good - getting used to the new routine, all done, really done, for tonight!
