Tuesdays Sesh

Hello
Its been too long. Its at least 2 full weeks since i have been working out.
The reason is because there has been 1 or 2 massive changes to my life. 1st i have a new job and 2nd, if i workout on Mondays and Wednesdays, there is a chance i could over run and miss my football. Not good. :-(

I will have to see what the best days to train would be.
So far im on Tuesday, Fridays and possibly Sundays. I say possibly Sundays because it depends how lazy i feel. :-)

Anyway onto today

So onto the workout routine

Easter Mondays Mission

Hi everyone.

I hope that you all had a very nice Easter and that you haven't overdone it with the Easter Eggs?
Once again its a Bank Holiday, meaning I can have a lie in and start my workout earlier than 6pm.
Today we went for a nice walk in the park this afternoon before coming back to do my workout and then having Tea.

Below is what I have eaten today

• Breakfast - Porridge
• Dinner / Lunch - Pea & Ham Soup with 3 slices of bread
• Tea / Dinner - Fish Pie with a small amount of Vegetables

I have decided to give having breakfast a go in the morning as recommended by "Kendo".
I havent had very many snacks today. The snacks I have had has mainly been chocolate but that's meant to be good for you (Apparently)

Anyways my workout for today...

Louiniho's 'Good Friday' Religious Workout

First of all I would like to say, "Happy Good Friday". Its nearly Sunday and apparently chocolate is meant to be good for you! Yay!!

As today is a bank holiday I decided to have a lie in and as a result I only woke up at 11am. I feel all refreshed and raring to go.

Im not going to tweet my session on twitter later today, but instead write this post whilst doing my workout (In the rest period).

Today after waking up at 11am, I got straight to work by painted our utility room with 2 coats of paint on both ceiling and walls. Good workout for my right arm. :-)

As normal I will start with what I have eaten throughout today.

• Breakfast - Skipped Breakfast as I only woke up at 11am
• Dinner / Lunch - Missed dinner due to painting, but snacked on 2 Blackcurrant Nutrigrain bars and 4 Foxes Jam & Cream biscuits. (Best biscuits I have ever tasted in my opinion)
• Tea / Dinner - 2 x Cod Fillets, Baby Potatoes and sweetcorn

Anyway to the workout.

Louiniho's Wednesday Workout!

So to start I will tell you about what i have eaten today

• Breakfast - Skipped Breakfast (I don't normally have a breakfast but that is because I wake up too late)
• Dinner / Lunch - Half a tin of Short Cut Spaghetti, with a tub of carrot sticks, a medium sized tub of fruit and 2 low fat yoghurt's
• After Workout Snack - 2 Blackcurrant Nutrigrain Bars
• Tea / Dinner - 3 Fish Fingers, 3 Potato Waffles and a quarter tin of beans

I don't know much about calories or how much fat content etc is in these foods, but all in all I think I have had a fairly healthy diet today!

The only ones I probably shouldn't have had were the nutrigrain bars but I suppose I'm allowed a treat :-)

Anyway onto the workout session. Just before I go into detail on what I did, can I just say that all of these exercises can be done with or without weights so they can be beneficial for all.

Today was only a quick session as I had Cardio (Football) training at 8pm.

My Schedule as below... Enjoy

My Story So Far!

When i was 16 I left High School and started going to the gym to bulk up a bit.
By the age of 18 I was properly ripped due to working out pretty much everyday for a few hours a day.

As time went by I bought a house with my fiancee and due to finance and commitment to our home I stopped going to the gym and as a result I let myself 'go'

I only really noticed I had let myself 'go' at the end of 2010. It was snowing and I tried to put my walking boot on and 'No word of a lie', my stomach got in the way. :-D

Welcome...

Hi Everyone

Many thanks for visiting my blog!

I have started this blog in the hope I can offer some useful and insightful advice for those wanting to lose some weight or just basically get leaner.

In my posts, I will offer advice on what I have done to get to my current stage.

What I wont do is offer you advice on what you should or shouldnt eat, but will include in my posts what I eat and how it has helped me.
The reason for this is that I understand everyone is different and different things will work for different people.

I can honestly say that I have been doing workouts since the start of the year and have noticed a significant difference, especially on my stomach.

Below i have detailed the days i do fitness work.

• Monday - Workout & Football (Soccer)
• Tuesday - Rest
• Wednesday - Workout & Football (Soccer)
• Thursday - Football (Soccer)
• Friday - Workout
• Saturday - Football (Soccer)
• Sunday - Rest

I have found that if I do this routine for a solid 3 weeks, then have a week off, this gives your muscles adequate time to regenerate.
*It is only the workout which I have a week off as I like Football a bit too much :-)

Everything which I post are my advice and opinions, and how I feel they have helped me.
I do hope you find them interesting, useful and enjoyable and that they start working for you.

Thanks for reading.
