Skipping alos same if not worse. I did some skipping. it hurt my lower back.....knee will have effect too....the impact is high....

LOL! Thanks!

It's only fast because I'm still very heavy. There will come a point when it will slow down alot.

Also, I time my carbo intake that only take carbo after exercise. And also upping exercise a bit. I'm a lazy wuss.

Total lost now is about 12.5 kg.

Hey! Its good progress Keep up the good work.

By the way, you mention another pasta brand or something..is it good? whole durum wheat as well? Brand and price? oh and which store(coldstorage/giant..etc etc )

San Remo spaghetti costs about RM3.99 . sometimes they will have promotion where 2 packs are available at a cheaper price.


Syd,

I'll get asparagus soon =P I bought some french beans and brocs. As usual, I'll mix it up alittle. hehe. Preparing some progress pics for now.

yeay today WO on Treadmill:
Walk 3min 4,5,6kmph
HIIT 20min 7-11kmph every other min
Walk 2min 7,6kmph
Tempo 15min 8kmph
Cool 5min 7,6.5,6,5.5,5kmph
=367c 5.96km 45m

There's a lot of pasta brand out there in the market. Best is to read the label. You can compare. Usually, the labels would have 2 nutrition breakdown. One is per serving and another is usually per 100g. You can compare and pick your choices.

Some pasta are marketed as containingn more wholegrain than others.

Try them and see which one you like.

I dunno the prices in KL lah. You would have to do the comparison yourself.

Added on June 1, 2009, 4:59 pmActually, a thought just crossed my mind about skipping : maybe our bodies are either too heavy or we don't do enough exercise to strengthen back and knee or we're not getting the proper nutrition to let our body mend these parts or maybe we're not doing it right.

Anyway, if skipping is bad, wouldn't running be equally bad?

OO Someone's feeling good at BF!

To get 6 pack, need to be 10% and below. Not easy especially people who used to be fatso. Even some of the big guys with real nice body don't even have 4 packs (like the arabian guy I met in gym). His body is freaking chun, sure attract damn a lot of girls. lol! And he's taller than me, 184cm.

My BF goal now is 15%. Hopefully...

can i know where to get such checking done? Thanks.

congrats zeist !!!! sub 20% body fat. Woooot. What does it take to get there. more on diet or exercise ? I guess my bodyfat now at 17%-18%. Now I'm focus to bulk, later when reach certain mass, I'm going to cut till 15-16% . It's going to be reaaaaaall hard to cut to 12-13% bodyfat

@shadow111 : such checking need to be done with tanita scale in fitness centres or dietician in hospital

zeist : all it takes is determination and you have plenty of it so far.

15%! go go!

Did 2km @ 10km/h this morning. Finished strong. I is happy

Will read again when I got back. Nw got ample 3 months holiday to workout before i head UK!

Ah didn't know challenge only starting this Monday sorry for my earlier daily update posts.

Biked 40 min yesterday, burned 481 cals. Not sure about the accuracy of calories burned from machine but am proud of myself for sitting on the bike for double the amount of time planned. Thanks to hubs for making me stick to my word of sitting on the bike until the end of the DS9 episode he was watching I got off with 1 minute of episode left and he's like "It's not finished yet!" so I hopped back on and did it until 40 minutes cos I wanted a round number.

Diet not great yet since intake was 2,007 but with workout there was an okay deficit.

Today's plan is to stick to about 1,800 calories and bike for 30 min with some weight training.

i ran 2.6km yesterday....pancit after that...
left shin hurt so badly that it affected my arch.

Progress pic updated in mah journal

but only Deltoids and Triceps./..may be forearm...will track other progress later la. I needz time.

Mai kam cheong... train and eat properly.
