Day twenty seven, week four, phase one

So today was the last day off phase one, And after a review of the cabbage soup diet I knew that I wasn't going to shift as much weight as the week before so I made it a heavy cardio day making the most off it. and once agin the reason why I didn't do the cabbage soup in the last week was for the fact that phase two is just one diet plan and there is alot off things you can't have and I wanted to make the most of the things I couldn't have in preparation.
You may remember me saying that one off the reasons why people stop training or doing what they are doing because they lose focus hence the 4 week cycles I do to help keep my focus.

I walked to the gym, and the longer way was flooded because of the latest weather we had so took the medium lengthen route, 1.6 miles then pushed and pushed my self on the running and cross trainer to get an intense sweat, then jogged / run the shorter route home 1.2 miles.

Exercise:

15 minuet stretch (at home)
walk to the gym 1.6 miles
30 mins running machine
30 mins cross trainer
10 mins bicycle

3 x 12 bench 40kg
3 x 12 dumbbell incline bench 20kg each arm
3 x 12 dumbbell bench 20kg each arm

3 x 12 tricep triangle pull down bar 16.25kg
3 x 12 tricep straight pull down bar 16.25kg
3 x 12 tricep triangle pull down rope 16.25kg

3 x 12 bicep zigzag bar curls 15kg
3 x 12 bicep machine curls 20kg
3 x 12 bicep pull up rope curls 20kg

3 x 12 calf pushes 30kg
3 x 12 leg extensions 25kg

Jog / run home 1.2miles

all the exercises have become easier to do and my stamina is alot better and can feel it in my strides as I run, the confidents that comes with it to push your self that little bit further each time is a great feeling but, if you are looking to extend each off these phases you maybe think about having more rest days or doing less each session, I cant push you any more than I can stop you, and I can only encourage you to continue to make the change, even if you spend a whole year just on this phase alone focussing on cardio and losing body mass I guarantee ull gain more years in later life to enjoy it, JUST DONT GET AN EGO TO GO WITH IT!

Food and meals:

Breakfast - Brain flakes
Lunch - breaded chicken (oven cooked not fried) with a pasta salad
Dinner - plain chicken with mixed vegetables.

It was the second to last day and I had the the pasta I knew I wouldn't be allowed soon and the breaded chicken with some tasty sauces.
