Welcome to day 2 of the great getting lean for 2009. Day 1 went great. For training I did a kickboxing class in the afternoon.1 hour. I am struggling with eating enough food to get calories I need. When we did the calculations last night, it turns out I only ate about 3200 calories, so I fell short by about 800 cals. To try and over come this I increased my breakfast by adding extra grapes and some rock melon.
I have just finished a twenty minute kettlebell workout, which was a tabata style workout. It went as follows.
Two handed swing 20 seconds / walking 10 seconds.
8 sets
Kettlebell clean 20 seconds / walking 10 seconds
8 sets each arm.
This workout takes about 20 minutes and with a 24kg kettlebell it is a killer.
I have another one planned for later this arvo. It is a combo body weight/kettlebell. It will take about 40 minutes.
Right now I am gagging on tuna and brown rice and a grunt shake.
I will be posting photos on facebook as the time progresses. I plan to take one a week for the big comparo.
At this point in time it appears that preparation is the key to success in the stuff. All of the ingredients for the meals were prepped on Sunday night and stored in plastic containers, so throwing a meal together is simply a case of opening some lids and tossing stuff in a wok. Last night we grilled about a kilo of chicken breast and that did us for dinner last night and tonight.
Like I said I am struggling with eating all the food, though I can feel my metabolism starting up. I woke up absolutely starving this morning and my energy levels have already improved.
More tomorrow.
