Day 17

Posted: July 21, 2010 in Uncategorized

It’s been an exhausting few days.  My new room mate here is really cool and we’re getting along well so that’s good news, the rest of the new people are well, less then awesome. I managed to burn 3244 calories on Sunday, 5122 on Monday and a massive 6238 calories on Tuesday.  After yesterday’s effort [...]

Day 14

Posted: July 18, 2010 in Uncategorized

So a fair bit has happened in the last few days so I’ll do a quick recap; Thursday was a huge day – I managed to make it to the ‘horse’ (that was the objective of the run along the beach) in about 26 minutes which had me arriving first.  It was fun but quite [...]

Day 10

Posted: July 14, 2010 in Uncategorized

Today I started to notice a change – one of my favourite (read: comfortable) shirts is considerably looser then when I started here so that’s good news.

So the day started at 5:30-5:45 and after a quick shower I had my blood pressure and blood sugar checked which confirmed I was in ketosis, woo! We went off to Hastings which was some kind of park by some kind of water front – god damn it was cold!  We ran around this track [...]

Day 3

Posted: July 7, 2010 in Uncategorized

First up, my head hurts. Today I learned the importance of punctuality.  I was but a few seconds late and Gavin (one of the trainers) was on my back – he separated me from the group and worked me hard.  On the upside it was kind of a free personal training session We started off [...]

The New Me – Day 1

Posted: July 5, 2010 in Uncategorized

So I’ve decided to take a new approach – after losing 52kg and then putting 20 back on and then losing 10 of that (confused much? net result is -40kg) I decided to stop everything and just focus on my health for a few weeks.  As such I’ve joined this program called The New Me which [...]
