Mr. A. - Doing several things at the same time

So i'm the kind of guy that usually likes to go "all in" with this kind of stuff and the one thing i find the most difficult is to increase the amount i'm training while at the same time attempting to limit my intake

Were I to advice other people i would definitely say start with one thing, and slowly build on the other, ie. i would likely advice them to start increasing the amount of training they do, and slowly start improving their diet.

Doing both at once leads to a lot of balance issues, you exercise more so your body needs more energy, but how much more, and you might not want to give it more since you are trying to limit it to lose weight.

I personally find it difficult to figure out how much i need to eat with the increased training, but i keep my focus on the fact that the food needs to be healthy first and foremost, if the weight doesn't decrease than i will have to make further reductions in my eating habits.


I would recommending only working on improving 1 thing at a time at the very beginning, and after you  have gotten into the habit of doing it i would improve on the other aspect.

Mr. G. - Warm Up, Slow Start but Nice Food.

It's already August the 2nd. where I had planned to write more about what happened the day before. However, the 1st. was what I would call a very slow start. It all started and ended with myself doing 2x30 pushups for the day and that was about it :-P. The day before, on the 31st, I biked around 10km, which is pretty much nothing - 2 rounds of around 5km :).

The Lunch Dinner Stuff
On the 31st of July, I consumed stone baked oven pizza with pepperoni and another with some piglet pork. So there went any "exercise" for that day :).

On the 1st of August, for dinner I ate meatballs and vegetables with Thai curry and rice. With it being very good, I definitely could have eaten more of it, had I cooked even more :). Thus after this, I decided to gobble on some leftover homemade coleslaw salad, which consisted of cabbage, carrots and a little mayonnaise. I unfortunately forgot to take pictures, so look for images for the near future.

And All The Others
For the morning I had oatmeal and cranberries with milk. Throughout the day, I basically snacked on almonds with cranberries mixed with it. Let's just say I'm quickly running out :). I ended up also eating a box of cookies :).

All in all, a slow (possibly bad) start but expect things to pick up soon. :-)
