IT'S BEEN AWHILE.....

I haven't blogged for almost two weeks now. I've been meaning to post up a review of our War Theme Movie Night but I'm still waiting on my other two comrades to let me know their thoughts of Kill Gen. I haven't had any family news to report, but I thought I could let you all know what I'm starting on Monday.

Tonight I pretty much had my last whatever 'I can eat meal' before I start my long months of training. My brother in law, as you all may know as my sister Lucy's husband Taani, is a black belt in Judo and was trained in Japan. His taken the job as our personal trainer - putting Lucy, Boi and myself through six months of fitness program. Each of our program is specifically designed for each of us. Boi's program is to improve his agility for Gridiron aka American Football for this Season and Lucy & I have a program to obviously loose weight and be fit.

My reasons for loosing weight has nothing to do with self consciences, rather I want to have a more healthier lifestyle and live longer. I'm hoping that my smoking would cut down to a ZERO, but I have to play mind games to make myself believe that I don't need it. This week I've been waking up at 5am (a struggle let me tell you!) and walk for 40Min's hitting the hills before I start work. Starting Monday though I have a fitness program and here's how it follows:

MONDAY, WEDNESDAY & FRIDAY
5am
Walk/Jog which involves 1min walking then 100m light jog rotating through out for 30Min's. By the end of two weeks I should be able to jog the whole 30Min's.
Then it's 3 sets of 5 sit ups, 5 push ups and 5 squats - 30secs rest between sit ups, push ups and squats. By the end of the month my reps would of increased and I should be able to do men's push ups when I build more strength in my arms as well as loose the weight.

Afternoon
I walk to Lucy's place and Taani trains me for an hour which involves, steps, boxing and Judo self defense moves.

TUESDAY & THURSDAY
Afternoon
Training with Taani

SATURDAY
5am
Boi, Lucy, Taani and myself hit the beach. Sand Dunes and Swimming

SUNDAY
Rest Day

WHAT I HAVE TO EAT FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS....
Breakfast
Piece of Toast - Vegemite
Piece of Fruit

Lunch
Salad with only a small amount of meat

Dinner
Is after training @ Lucy & Taani's place - Mainly Vegetable Soup

During the two weeks I'm NOT allowed to have any Butter, Oil, Full Cream Milk, Juice, Soft Drinks or Carbohydrates. Went early this morning to the fruit market where you buy in bulks and I can honestly say that my fridge is got nothing but fruit, vegi's and a lot of water. I also have to keep a diary of my work outs done, what I ate, how much sleep I had and be very honest. Taani reads my journals and works out my program for the following week and see allowances for other food I can eat and whether to increase my program or change it. Boi's eating plan involves meat and vegetables, so he can eat a lot of that but no carbohydrates.

Also NO ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION FOR THREE MONTHS! Which means I won't be drinking when I go to the KINGS OF LEON Concert in March!!! :(

I guess my sudden determination to be more healthy was the scary reality that heart problems run in the family (The Tohi Family) and Diabetes Type 2 runs in my mum's family, which you see gives me a higher risk of having both these later on the track. So in order to prevent it, I have to change what I do. It also gives me the chance to spend a lot of time with my siblings and do this as a family - helping to push and encourage each other. Plus this is going to help me with something I'm planning to do in September. But I'll let you know about this WHEN I get accepted. :)(It's make or break time now)

So get in it guys! Get Fit, Live Longer and Enjoy the great things that Life has to offer!!! :)
