Day 4

Posted: July 8, 2010 in Uncategorized

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 which was about 2km but at every park bench we’d stop and do a strength exercise (dips, push ups or squats).  After doing two laps I started doing 20m sprints followed by 20m of walking whilst we waited for the others to get back to the bus.

After arriving back at the house I had two boiled eggs with ham that I cooked in the pan – was almost like bacon!  Next up was yard work…lets just say it was muddy.  Very muddy.

In the mud we had to move logs and tyres – there was a “limbo” style obstacle that we had to climb under except it was too low to do the limbo so eventually you had to get on your hands and knees to crawl under it – all through mud!  Thankfully I was wearing a bright orange shirt The New Me supplied Winking smile

After a quick shower it was time for class with Adro Sarnelli about nutrition.

Our next exercise session was based around recovery so it was a lot of stretching followed by one of the hardest things I’ve had to do.  We had to jump in the pool and I think it must have been about 4 or 5 degrees celsius.  After a minute we were able to jump in the spa for a minute then we had to repeat this 7 times.

Our next class was actually watching a DVD – I’m not sure the name of the show but it was a British show and it had a diet swap between an overweight person and an anorexic person.

After watching one episode I actually went up to bed and took a nap (big mistake!) whilst the rest of the group had another class but this time it was a cooking class on Thai food.

After I woke up I still wasn’t that hungry even though the group had saved me a plate so I hit the gym and did 15 minutes on the exercise bike before one of the trainers walked in and asked “Where were you during the cooking class”….

He decided that instead of continuing my exercise routine he’d give me a 1 on 1 personal training session and boy did he make me pay for that hours sleep!  That said I reckon I’d do it again Winking smile

I had some of the dinner but don’t seem to have much of an appetite – I got about half of it down and had a handful of nuts to boost up my calorie intake to 1000 for the day.  I burnt just over 4800 calories today so not too shabby at all.

Tomorrow there’s three high intensity training sessions – I’m a little worried but I’m sure I’ll survive.
