PARIS: Jo-Wilfried Tsonga had predicted weeks ago that no Frenchman would triumph at Roland Garros this year and, to his despair, he was proven right on Tuesday despite four times coming within one point of staying in the tournament.

Joined Fitness One

After contemplating the idea for sometime , of having your own GYM at home i decided that its better of joining a nearby GYM.
I zeroed in on Fitness one and took an yearly plan.
These guys looks professional..
I have a personal trainer named Vimal ( Junior Kerala Runner up) who is a pretty knowledgeable person.

Its been a week now (Joined on Sept 17th )
So far two PT sessions are over .
Weights are on alternate days with cardio . Cardio only in between.
They say you have to Do cardio after weight training. Mostly you wont be able to do weights after cardio :-0
Did some googling came to know that the primary source for energy in body is Glycogen(glucose) which we get from carbs. Now Fat is only the secondary source.
So for Body to burn fat u need to use up all the glucose.
Fat reduction works wiht a combination of Eating and workouts

Success mantras

I practiced when I felt like it. And also when I didn't!"

"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets just as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."
martin luther king

A good mentor is priceless

Bunch Of Beginnings !! Never

Some one once told
"Most men are a bunch of beginnings"

After the roller coaster run in the initial 3 months the activity had taken a back seat for me.
The number of blogs I posted is the clear indication of the activity levels. May and June were the most intense.
July August and Septemeber very low in activity
Result ::: I gained 2 Kgs in last two and a half months..
Time to buckle up and start the activity again ....
Joining fitness one today .... ( )

My Journey 27-April to Jul27 13 weeks

Never knew that self discovery is such an amazing experience.
Doing things which were impossible earlier.
The saying is so true ' We become what we think about' .
'Our thoughts today will decide what we become few years from now'.

In three months i have come down from 91.5 to 83.5 ie 8 kgs.
Now last 4 weeks i was't doing much . U know why i haven't reset my goal.
That's very very important.

I am much wiser and knowledgeable than i was 3 months back and still learning.


MY Journey 27th April to 27 July (2011)
Target : 75 kgs Body fat 15%
Result: 83.5 Kgs (?)

Weight reduction does not hinder my love for foods...

If you are starving while reducing weight then you are not doing right..

i got this list from a blog http://malabar-express.blogspot.com/

Thanks for the list..

Chance encounter with SELVA

The Weekend in Coimbatore was simply amazing.
The chance encounter with Selva added more fervor into this trip.
I met him on Sunday morning in Temple GYM. A simple ,down to earth (that's a commonality i find in successful people) business man.

This 5 feet 5 inches man reduced his weight from 84 Kgs to 55 in a span of one year.
We had an enduring chat for few minutes and you could make out why some people achieve so much. He was talking about running , running and running.
When he started he used to run 2.5 Km in 30 Minutes which he made to 15 Km in 90 mins.
In weekends he is to run 3 hours continuously. He would take notes on a daily basis on his progress.
Thanks Selva for making me realize how much i could go further.
How much discipline i need to bring in to get to my ultimate goal (75 Kgs).
Success will elicit a price from you , are you willing to pay it ?

Resurgence: Revitalize Refocus and March ON (71 days)

It's been seventy One days since I started my journey to better health.

Achievements
I am 7.5 Kgs lighter (ie lost 105.63 Gms per day)
I can jog 45 minutes continuously ( when i started i could'not run more than 7 minutes)

I believe its important to pause a while and take a look at the road ahead because sometimes achievements makes us complacent.
I felt i was going towards complacency in the last couple of weeks.
I started this to loose weight and keep it off for a lifetime.
It's pretty easy to do that if you

Now its time to refocus on July
I am on Intensive mode again starting today for two weeks ( ie 6th July to
ie 2 meals (bkfst and dinner ) replaced by positrim.
Total intake of calories restricted to 1200

Plateu Hit ? (+100Gms)

First time in last 2 months I have actually gained .
I think this is not really a plateau. Just that i need to refocus and work on My goals.
Sometime success tends to derail from your ultimate goal.

Action time.

40 Minutes run everyday
Night Positrim
Weights on alternative days.

been a bit lackadaisical on calorie intake. (tighten Up that)

POSITRIM PHASE 2 : 8th WEEK RESULTS (-100gms)

Last week running was extremely good everyday hitting 30 minutes.
But Positrim drinking was very less. 3 PACKETS CONSUMED IN THE WHOLE WEEK.

but i am still in weight loose mode (truly maintenance is going on)

The biggest problem for weight lose seekers is maintaining it. 90% gain it back within a small timeframe. POSITRIM is great way to get trim and keep yourself trim.
thanks to My nutritionist for recommending this.

Refining the Goal (tackling the problem)

“If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results.” ~Jack Dixon

We should be flexible to make changes as we learn more.
So here I am after learning a lot about body fat and lean body mass i am going to refine my goal.
when I started target was 75 kgs. I am not making any changes to that i am just going to add a body fat % value to that.
Current body fat = 25.7% (BIA)
Current lean body mass = 63.17 kgs ( 85 kgs * 74.3/100)
Target body fat = 15%
Ideal weight = 63.17/1-.15 = 75 Kgs Approximately
So goal now is 75 Kgs with body fat 15%



Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

Body FAT Percentage calculation (a problem ?)

Finally did my body fat analysis on BIA tool from ashish
the following are the results

body fat % = 25.7
Body age : 49 <-------------????
calory needed daily 1839
Visceral Fat 14%

Fat(subcutaneous)
Arm - 24%
Trunk - 17.1%
Legs -24.2%

Now looks like we have a problem here average male fat percentage is around 18% .
For a good physique you ned to get that down to 12 to 15%
