I started my workouts on the 25th of Feb 2004, aiming straight for 8-10% body fat. Eating healthy and no more then 2000 kcal per day combined with the following exercises hopefully will get me at least on the way there :) I´m Aiming to be fit for the summer, and I can´t wait till the + degrees c are coming. Theese days I´ve had to run in 0 degrees celsius and wind :( at 6.30 in the morning. I´m surpriced my motivation haven´t failet yet once, during the past 2 weeks.

Monday:30 min/6km intervall running before breakfast
Tuesday:30 min/6km intervall running before breakfast
Wednesday:30 min/6km intervall running before breakfast
Thursday:30 min/6km intervall running before breakfast
Friday:30 min/6km intervall running before breakfast
Saturday:hangover
Sunday:30 min/6km intervall running before breakfast

I combine theese exercises with weightlifting, about 3 reps each body part 2-3 times a week. I also do gym classes in the afternoons, or go for at least 10 Km on a stationary bike. I can´t wait til I get a new real bike, it makes it so much more interesting. I am saving up for a TREK liquid full suspension MTB, I´ve seen them 2nd hand on ebay for a reasoneble price.

Wow, woke up this morning and was expecting to have gained weight (only meassure once a week, to bring more exitement to it all), but it appears I´ve lost alot of weight. However I´m pretty upset about it as it seems to be mostly musclemass and water, according to the bodycomp site. I do not know if that is a correct way to meassure bodycomposition, does anyone know?. I have been after thoose calipers, or whatever they are called, but haven´t found any 2.nd hand. Sorry I´ve just got something against "new" things :) or actually to the price, huH!

Looks like my dramatic weightloss from last week might have catched up with my BF, however I have been having alot of cheat meals and skipping a few exercises I´m worried about the rate my weight is dropping, I´m trying to loose allmost 1 kg (2 pounds) per week but looks like I´ve been doing the double, theese last weeks. I´m having trouble eating the 2000 kcal per day if I only eat clean. Mosly end up with like 1300-1600 kcal per day.

Not so much waist loss this week, but I´m happy for the thighs to finally loose some mass. I´m insecure about the body fat though, I think I´m loosing alot of muscle mass but not that much fat :d_eek: thats not what I´m after... maybe I should increase my protein intake. I´m going to get some more whey later this week and stuff my self :D

Tycker det syns en hel del på kaggen att den börjar minska.

Hårt att gå ner från 21 till 8% till sommaren. Gymmar du mycket med vikter?

Seems as my fat % has raised, but understand that this is due to loss of muscle mass rather than actually gaining fat. However I need to find out how to trick my body to start burning fat instead of muscles, cause this this doesn´t seem to be the way!, I have been off protein powder for 1 week now, could be one reason to my loss of muscle mass. However I am now on it again, and going to fucos this next week mainly on weight lifting, as I have only been doing cardio for a longer time now. ;)

Been eating alot of protein, veggies, less carbonhydrates this week combined with weighlifting and more running I now run 2 times 6 km every second day and 6 km the other. Or well haven´t really put it into my plan, but been moving around alot. My bodyfat seem to finally decrease, however I´m not sure if I trust mybodycom all that much. My stats seem to give different rather odd calculations from them each week.

This week I have gone crazy with the bike, started weightlifting on Wednesday (chest and arms) in a real gym, not just at home as I have been so far. You can really tell the difference after you have used serious equipments, and heavy weights… I still have an enormous soreness in my chest. I have also increased my protein intake to about 160-200 gr per day compared to 100 g before. This has effected my total calorie intake too. Before I used to eat about 1600 kcal to 1800 kcal per day, now I´m up to 1800-2000 kcal per day. I guess it will make some difference in the muscle tissue, but will cost me more money. I have finally gotten rid of that toad look in my face :p and my face definition is finally starting to go back to what it used to. I posted some pics in the Media Gallery (http://forums.johnstonefitness.com/showthread.php?p=42607#post42607) .

I have finally reached a BMI level under 25, so I am no longer considered "overweight"... also I crossed the magic 80 kg mark on the scale :).

Unfortunately I believe I have been meassuring my BF at mybodycomp inaccurate. I have been meassuring my belly, while laying down... don´t know someone told me that was how you were supposed to do.... but don´t know. If I meassure standing I gain a few cm on the abs, which puts me on a more credible 19% BF. However I must have been way above 21 when I started off in Februari. So don´t know wether to stay consiquent and meassure my waist laying down, to see comperative results, or go totally honest to myself and start over meassuring standing. Eventually I´ll have to realize I am not at 14% BF yet..... :(

Another thing that bothers me is that the bodycomp site keeps telling me that I´ve lost like 10 Kg of lean mass, and hardly any fat like 3 kg or something, ever since I started out. I know many say that site does inaccurate meassurements, but still if thats the case I´m worried.

I can notice I have lost some muscle mass, but also that I´ve lost fat...bellywise... and especially in the rear.. according the the meassurements I have consequently been doing and posted here in my journal.

If anyone of you could take a look at my diet schedule and tell me what I´m doing wrong I´d be very glad. I try to eat sub 2000 kcal per day according to my RMR which is about 1000 kcal lower then my total calorie burn. It creates a -1000 calorie deficit. I try keeping macronutrients at 40/40/20.

Also I try to get the fat from fish and linseeds only, plus eat a multivitamin pill every day.

sometimes I take whey protein shakes, after workout, or if I haven´t filled up 40% of my total daily kcal intake with protein.

here´s a typical day

typical daily diet (http://home.rixtele.com/~simonkarlssonUF/online/2004-05-24.xls)

Thoughts and comments are welcome!.

Didn´t post any update this week, as I have been occupied with too many parties, and drinking. First of all my friend graduated last tuesday, then I hade my own celebrations all night long on friday... saturday was out on the pub, but also celebration my grandmas 80th birthday. ON top of all I have failed with my cardio and weightlifts, so didn´t really see any point in meassuring myself in the middle of all this, as I might have gotten disappointed with no improvements.

Tomorrow I am starting a 10 month army duty, serving in a tank as a platoon medical. However I have send in a slip saying I´d be better off with a non violent (weapons) program, because theese are only for 3-5 months long starting from august. This way I do not have to postpone my visit to australia that was planned in october.

I think it´ll be tough to maintain updates in this journal, as I am not sure how much I´ll be allowed to come home theese first weeks, until I hopefully get re signed to serve in august. In that case I´ll resume my eating loggs and training program.... I´ll try my best to eat well in the army, but assume they aren´t as aware of foods, as I have become during theese last months here with JSF. I will however do my best to complain and be an ass about them serving sausage and other crap :p

Good luck in the army!!! Im sure they'll give you time to workout or at least Id imagine so. I know my friend in the AF here in the states has to work out a number of hours a week (and gets paid for it). If you have to eat "Crappier" food just watch amount and you'll get through it. Just think how much you'll miss all that food some many people call "bland" and "nasty" that isnt at all.

Thanks man!. We did marching for like 14 hours in a row carrying 45 kg (100 lb) of bags and ammo n stuff....... and afterwards went running... of which physical beneficial value I was unable to understand, and made several seargents aware.... was about to get my ass kicked... hehe
Food was OK.... however I was surpriced how much fast carbonhydrates they made us eat... They hade some sort of paper telling us to eat about 4000 kcal and only 100 gr of protein, which I knew was far too little considering all that exercise.

And hey everyone, I´m back.

I just did my first 2 weeks in the army over here and there has been mixed feelings about it... :confused:

The moment before I got signed in, I hade sent in a form applying for something called a "weapon free total defence duty" which is an alternative to the otherwise compulsory army.

So while everyone else got their A-K 5´s I was still working on pushups obeying orders from a female lieutenant in her 20:s. In fact she would have been a real sweet pie, if it wasn´t for her bad military attitude, never giving else but an angry face and loud mouth!. HUH! :rolleyes: ...

HAHA!, thinking back on it, me and the other guys always made fun of her at night... We discovered her strict attitude quite sexy after all, haha. imagening she was into s/m n stuff during her spare time.

Anyway, thoose of you that have been in army know all the B-S they make you do at like 6 o´clock in the morning..... and thoose of you that don´t .... I can only tell you It has been the worst time in my life, as well it has been an experience and it was really nice knowing I wasn´t the only one... The folks that I was living with were so nice, and we became a rather tight group of people after 2 weeks of living together.

To the point then.... I was meant to do 10 months of compulsory duty serving as a platoon medic in a leopard2 tank http://www.soldf.com/images/s_strv122.jpg (62 ton)... however realizing this whole army thing would postpone my visit to australia I decided to struggle myself out of it. I went to the psychologist and told her about traumatic issues I experienced in Mocambique as a child regarding use of weapons. It was true, however I have never really been bothered about it.... it worked out though and now I´m back home.

I´m sort of having 2nd thoughts about it all..... it would have been of good educational value..... and the people there were the nicest....

Above it all I feel like a failure and a coward.... not being able to defend my country in case of war..... well it´s too late now anyway so I´ll just have to try and look at all the shit they would have made me do...... such as lay me bed for 45 mins :p etc and be proud that I managed to get myself out of it.... which is considered impossible by many.

The worst thing is that I was meant to leave for stockholm to guard the royal castle..... having a chance to meet (or see from a distance at most).. Princess Madeleine, hguuh I´ve hade a crush on her since the age of 8 hehe.. http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/0406/24/madde.jpg
it´s funny cause the people I lived with in the army all did, one of the guys even named his weapon after her haha... :p

HUH I´ve missed out on so much here on JSF it´s gonna take time to catch up.

I´ve decided to post my picture here by next thursday together with stats.

I thought I would gain weight during my time in army, cause I ate loads of sweets and chocolate, cause nothing else to do at night there hehe... but surpriced I weight pretty much exact the same as before. I think I might have gained some fat though and lost some muscle after all that marching (insane)....

Hej.

Hur går det med formen? Blir det 8% snart? Ser att du är småkär i Madde. Vad ska du med en riktigt östermalms bitch till? ;)

AAAAHHH!, What am I doing wrong?, I have gained 2 pounds of fat according to mybodycomp... ? even if thoose meassurements aren´t 100% accurate, the difference is of relative nature. HUH!, I´ll need to do something about this NOW!....

I think it could be because I have lacked cardio sessions lately, before I used to run every morning, theese last weeks I have hardly done anything, exept been in the army. However I am back and I started running yesterday, going to continue with that, and also take a closer check at my diet, cause I think I have been consuming too much fat due to miscalculation :p . I´ve been closer to 35% fat instead of 20.

A good turning point today was that I no longer need to lay down to meassure my abs, and waist ( I have been doing that before to get what I thought a more accurate meassure, however I now know that isn´t the way it´s supposed to be done) I meassured today and my abs/waist meassure pretty much the same even if I stand up. Before there has been a tremendous difference... so the earlier stats are probably totally inaccurate, however I continued meassuring that way to see a relative difference... but as I said from now on I´m meassuring standing up, HUH!.... so I guess 16,47% BF is more accurate after all... Cause I knew before I was closer to 20 than what I have stated here in the journal 14%... :d_eek: . anyway going running now.

Wiiha!, looks like I´m back on track after all, I can feel that I´ve lost alot of fat this week, taken up running and been eating 100% clean and kept macronutritions at 40/40/20 , before I think I´ve been closer to a 30/40/30 value.

This is impressive stuff man, congrats on your progress so far :)

Thanks man!, I was just about to do my first update in like 3 weeks or something´.

I felt as if I had reached a plateu, and decided to go on eating whatever I wanted during vacation, came back last week. :cool:

But I meassured and I think I have lost lean mass and gained fat again, but weigh less than before!!! :eek: .

It´s really hard to get enough of the good stuff, when you´re eating junk.

Been on vacation to attend my cousins wedding in Finland 2 weeks ago, did nothing but eat junkfood (alot of pizza :drool: ) and drink vodka all day long.

Monday was my 20th Birthday, but I am not going to celebrate it til Sunday, guess I´ll have my cheat day then. Oh and my parents bought me a stationary bike for my 20th birthday which is exellent, I am now going to try start doing HIIT in the mornings. Guess it´ll take a while and a bit of practise to keep up the 23 min or whatever it is :d_confuse .

Thanks man!, I was just about to do my first update in like 3 weeks or something´.

heh, didnt notice it had been so long since you updated, I saw the thread linked in your signature and didn't check the last post date :)

AAh!, I´m getting totally confused with this bodycomp site, I incerely hate the fact that it keeps meassuring me inconsequentively every time. Anyway!, I took a flexing shot this week :) I´d be really pleased if someone could estimate my bodyfat from theese pictures :)

http://home.rixtele.com/~simonkarlssonUF/online/20040917flex.jpg

I just checked out your journal for the first time. Wow, you've made amazing progress. Is that the same necklace you're wearing in the first pic as your most recent update? Amazing how it's come from a real choker to a nice proper fit. :)

truely amazing. keep up the great work!

Yeah it actually is :) , I first noticed the loosening by watching my first compilation of pictures in June, didn´t even notice it wasn´t tight anymore before. truely amazing. keep up the great work!
Thank you both for the encouraging words :bow:

I haven´t posted any pictures now for a few weeks, but I´m going to get to it soon again. I´ve had alot to do at work, getting up at 6 am rushing on my bicycle trying to obtain a somewhat accurate HIIT, so meassurements are the only thing I´ve had time with.

Sorry about the low quality pictures, accidentally tampered around with the resolution, it´ll be fixed next week :)

This week my mobilephone broke down, just in time for the insurrance to run out. I felt that there was no reason in paying a lot of money to get an old phone fixed ( sonyericsson t610) so I decided to get a new one. I ended up choosing a sonyericsson v800, it´s a tripple band/UMTS 3g phone with a built in 1,3 Mp camera/videocamera (it´s crap, but a hell lot better than the VGA cameras freaquently in cameraphones). Anyway I´m going to try and make my weekly updates more weekly and get some better pics using the v800. Here´s a sample I took after laying in the suntanning bed the other day.

UNfortunately not too much progress cutting lately, therefor no weekly update. I have been doing alot of drinking and been eating like a pig some days. Since I haven´t been comitted cutting 7 days in a row the last couple of weeks, I´ve been feeling bloated and not in the mood of having a picture taken, however I´m aiming to do some serious action towards the bump of fat on the lower abs, while getting the abs out too.
