OK Friday and Saturday were write offs, went out into town Friday and had a big breakfast, then went out Friday night and got wasted, then got invited out for dinner on Saturday, cider, steak, salad and good company. Two great days well worth breaking my diet and exercise plan......so back on the wagon today:)

I believe it's what you do 95% of the time is what matters.

No cardio yesterday, felt like i had a cold coming on, so did not want to push it, on an upshot lost another kilo since last weigh in :)

Cardio today was mowing just over 2000 square meters of lawns with a push mower.......what a killer, rather do an hour on the tread mill. The bock is big but just not big enough to justify the purchase of a ride on:rolleyes:

Changed the weight routine a bit by adding two sets and some extra weights, will be doing four weight sessions this week, two of each workout A and B, as I will be going away next week and will have no access to a gym, so extra volume on the weights this week, and rest up the week after with some cardio (recover and grow).

Good work Mick! :) How are you feeling with all the cardio in there? Is the body responding beautifully? I bet it is.
 
Feeling great at the moment, just got to hold back, as I want to do more, but just need to progress slowly to avoid any injury.

Have dropped 5-6 kg since starting. So not bad at all, and my work pants fit a lot better already. Will stick with this basic idea for a while and go from there.
