Day 12

Well last night was tough, ended up having 2 beers and a bit of wine and a roast beef sandwich before bed. I was also very irritable all day. Kind of in a real crappy mood. Woke up feeling pretty crap and hit the skipping rope and did the squats. My ass is killing me! Had an early appointment so had to finish the workout just now and feel good. Ate healthy all day, and no cravings so far.

I came to the conclusion that I think I am getting the hunger cravings due to the sudden stopping of drinking the beer in the evenings. So need to really work hard at kicking those cravings. A banana seems to work. Stomach growling is also a good sign my metabolism is up and running.

I still suck at skipping. I think it's due to being half asleep while doing them, then after 300 I trip up a lot less. Also think my "Professional jump rope" isn't so professional and prefer the cheaper plastic one I had in my other place. So may change the rope.

Push-ups also killing me. Had to do half on my knees! WTF. So I am liking the home workouts as they are much harder than lifting the heavy weights at the gym. Pull-ups too.

I was contemplating using free weights to do some of the exercises but chose against it as I want to get lean and not bulk up as well as they are hitting the muscles a lot differently than what I have been doing up to now. Furthermore no excuses that I can't exercise while traveling. All in all a good thing.

I can't imagine dropping 7kg and being only 100kg! If I can do that then I will have a whole new perspective on life for sure.

One day at a time.
