Hi everyone If you don’t already know I’ve got a stag weekend in Benidorm planned in less than 50 days. And I want to lose as much body fat as I can. This is not going to be easy, but with determination and will power I will try my best to shift as much body-fat in this time as I can.
To help me along and keep me motivated I started the 50,00 calories in 50 day challenge. This means that I need to burn off at least 1000 calories per day through exercise to make this challenge. I’m loving my weight training sessions, which are burning off around 600 calories per workout. My cardio workouts are less fun for me because last week I stepped it up a little and went from level 3 to level 4. I can really feel the burn in my legs now, which isn’t feeling nice.
To stop me from getting bored I have a TV set up in the room, which I can listen to music on and keep up to date with all the soaps. Keep that one quiet though don’t want my mates finding out I’m a soap opera fan. The last two workout have killed me and I have seriously considered reducing the length of my workouts from 60 minutes to 45 minutes. But if I do this there is no way I will hit the 50,000 calories challenge. I’m hoping it will get easier as I burn fat and get fitter.
So to keep me motivated on this a little more I will be posting a picture of the calories I burn on the exercise bike daily. I will also stick onto the screen the date and will post it on here everyday. Lots of people will probably thinking he can photo-shop each picture to make it look like he’s exercising. For one I can’t use photo-shop and two If I did this, I would only be cheating myself.
My goal is to lower my body fat percentage and this will only be achieved through sheer hard and exercise. I will probably need to exercise a little more than the rest of you, because I really like my food. And this is one vice I can not give up. Don’t get me wrong I will eat healthy but when I get a takeaway I will eat smaller portions. What I have been doing is halving my portion size and getting two meals out of it. Eating two 500 calories meals three hours apart is much better than eating one 1000 calorie meal all at once.
Today I have managed to shift 1275 calories through exercise. By doing a one hour weight training session and a one hour cardio session on my exercise bike. Here is the picture of today’s cardio calorie burn. It shows a calorie burn of 671 in 59.59 minutes I stayed on a few more seconds till it reached 675.
