Vacation ahead

Oh yeah! I can’t wait to be at the beach, surf a few waves, have sunshine and warm weather. After all the rain and coldness here I’m really really looking forward to this vacation!

A few days ago I had my first strength measurement. I gained a few kilos of strenght almost at every machine

1. row: May 11: 29,4kg – Jun 28: 29,4kg = +0 kg 🙁
2. ab crunch: May 11: 22,7kg – Jun 28: 26,7kg = +4 kg
3. leg curl: May 11: 21,1kg – Jun 28: 29,4kg = +8,3 kg
4. chest press: May 11: 23,9kg – Jun 28: 27,3kg = +3,4 kg
5. back extension: May 11: 31kg – Jun 28: 44,3kg = +13,3 kg
6. leg extension: May 11: 22,9kg – Jun 28: 32,3kg = +9,4 kg
7. lat pull: May 11: 26kg – Jun 28: 32,7kg = +6,7 kg
8. glutaeus: May 11: 16,4kg – Jun 28: 29,1kg = +12,7 kg

How motivating is that to see how you gain muscle?! VERY! I’m kinda happy with my first milestone I set myself, of course my belly fat is still there but I’m pretty sure it will take me months to get rid of that (IF I get rid of it).
I did reach most of the goals I set though:
My goals for each week:

• work out at least 3 times during the week check – mon/tue/thu are my work-out days
• work out 1 or 2 times on the weekend check
• cut down on sweets – not sure if I can check this 😉
• on sundays, go to the gym in the morning before (the big) breakfast check – if I have nothing else planned
• don’t pig out on weekends check
• ride the bike to work as often as possible the days it didn’t rain and where it wasn’t freezing cold I took the bike
• get informed about interval training and pre-/post-workout foods – need to check on the foods
• in the strength circuit, increase weight every week or every two weeks increased
• at the gym after a working day, try to lose all the calories I’ve eaten up until the workout – nope, not possible when I only do strength training

I might take my running shoes and thera-bands with on vacation, maybe.
