Two years later

---

Two years later and I've found myself being out of shape like never before. I have a couple of reasons why though. In November 2008 I was hit by pericarditis and I still haven't recovered completely. Six weeks ago I also had a minor surgery to remove some tissue from my armpit which stopped me from going to the gym. Something I had planned for since beach 2009 is closing in. Now I feel I'm healed enough to start and the goal is to get my squares back!

When?

I will start tomorrow ( start 14/04/2009) and will go at it for 4 weeks. (end 12/05/2009)

Goals?

*To lose 1,5 - 2 kgs of fat in a 4 weeks period.

I will probably end up with about 1 kg of weightloss since i will also gain some muscles during this period.

*Lose 3 cm around my waist.

You will get my measurements and other details tomorrow when I weigh in.

How?

This time i don't have gym card so all will be done with equipment i have at home which is a chin bar, jumping ropes and weights. I will also focus on low impact fat burning exercises like walking, cycling, swimming and jogging. I will also work extra hard on my abs and also back to keep the balance. It will be interesting to see how the result will differ from 2 years ago when I did go to the gym as well and focused on both heavy weightlifting and cardio.

Diet?

I will keep a low carbohydrate diet (no carbs after 3pm) and will consume my daily calories every 3 hour. This means I will eat about 5 times per day. I will also cut down on alcohol, especially beer ;)

Progress?
To keep track of my progress I have have a measuring tape like always. Measuring in a relaxed state. But since last time I also have this: Omron BF500
Now i can keep better track of my body fat percentage and amount of fat free mass. I will measure and weigh in every monday morning.

I will also take photos.

Check in every week starting from tomorrow if your curious about my progress!

Cheers!
