New year Same goals

Starting off the new year with pretty much the same goals as last year. I finished off the year in a bad way as I hurt my knee and ankle so didn't train for the last 3 weeks of the year or the first week of this year. That said I managed to loose around 7kgs to get my weight down to 95kgs (I put 3 Kgs back on!!!).

This year I have not been able to train either due to my knee and also the fact that we have moved from Brasil back to the UK and I have been setting up my house.

The good news is that I am walking loads more as I haven't bought a car yet and also we live in a town where everything is within walking distance.

Also due to the change in temperature my son is loving walking in the cold for some strange reason.

I have also bought us both bikes and we are planning to ride at least twice a week together as we have a canal close to our new house which is grat for him to ride as it is more or less flat.

Yesterday we did a test ride and we rode for 45.16 minutes and rode 4.3 miles and climbed a lofty 67ft.

My son starts school tomorrow so I will make the most of the free time and go for another ride along the canal to see how long it takes to get to the next town. I then plan to do this ride every morning after I have dropped my son off at school to drop the weight that I have put on.

I worked out that the next town is around 11 miles from my house so I will be doing 22 miles a day so the weight should drop off.

For my new years resolution I have cut out all fizzy drinks and it has been fine for the past 7 days with no problems. I was stopping crisps as well but yesterday I succumbed to eating crisps. I have had a packet today as well so I am going to let the crisps slide until next month once the fizzy drink cravings have stopped.

27-10-15 - Back to Training

After nearly a week off again I got back into training last night. I took the dog for a walk with my son after school for about an hour. I wasnt able to record it as my strava was with a problem.

This morning I got up a 5am and did my weigh in I am still 92.5kgs but by body fat is down to 28.8% which is good.

I then took the dog for a walk. We walked for 32 minutes and covered 1.3 miles and climbed 473 feet.

After the walk I went to the local uni and shot hoops. I warmed up shooting 50 freethrows and then shot 10 3 pointers from the middle.

As I have a few championships coming up I have decided to consentrate my efforts on getting my floaters dialed in.

This morning I made 50 floaters faking the 3 pointer then dribbling right and then shooting the floater with the left hand off of the right leg. At the start shooting the floater with the left hand felt really strange but after making 10 I was in a rhythm.

After the 50 floaters I made another 20 freethrows and called it a day.

I was shooting hoops for 1.5 hours so it was a good workout.

Tonight I have a match against the uni team so I will see how the practice pays off.

Tomorrow morning I plan to do the same drill except going to the left and shooting with the right hand.

This week I am going to practice floaters every day. Next week I plan to also start back doing my bodyweight routine as well after shooting.

23/10/15 - really busy

I have been really busy since last thursday so havent worked out much and havent played basketball at all.

The problem is that I have a basketball match next tuesday a tornament in just over a week and then another 2 tornaments over the next 2 weeks. As I havent done anything for a week I have put on an extra kg.

I am going to start training again tomorrow morning. I will start walking the dog and then go shoot freethrows and then practice shooting from the elbows and then doing floaters. I will then do 10 sets of make 10 layups (5 sets from each side) I will then do 10 sets of suicides to finish off I will make another 50 freethrows.

I will then play basketball in the next town in the evening.

Sunday I plan to walk the dog again and then shoot freethorws followed by layups and then 10 sets of make 10 full court layups followed by 3 sets of 17s. I will again finish off with making 20 freethrows.

15/10/15 - Long Walk

Haven't been exercising much recently and as a result my weight has platoued at around 92kgs for the last few weeks. I am over of flu so I got up early and took the dog for a long walk as she hadn't been out for about  a week.

We walked for 1 hour 15 minutes and 34 seconds. We walked 3.2 miles and climbed 1042ft.

I was really hot even though we stared walking at 6:30am and by half was the dog was draging ass!!!

I am going to do this route for the next couplke weeks every morning to try and get over the weight plateu.

My weigh in this morning was 92.3kgs and 30.7% body fat. Looking back over my results for the last month I  am exactly same weigh and have dropped 0.3% bodyfat from this time last month which is not good but at least I havent put any weight on. Also although I haven't lost any weight my body composition and fitness levels are greatly improved from this time last month.

13/10/15 - First Exercise since Friday!

I have been I'll since the weekend so havent trained. Tonight I did 5 minutes warm -up on the exercise bike on L2 and then Played fullcourt 5 v 5 for 2 hours.

My weigh in wasnt so bad considering the lack of exercise in the last couple of weeks. I was 92.3kgs and 31% body fat.

08/10/15 - back to it

Got up early today and walked the dog. We did a longer route today. We walked for 50.54 minutes, we covered 2.2 miles and climbed 725ft.

My weigh in wasnt so good today as I didn't do any exercise yesterday and I drank coke for the last 2 days!!! I am back up to 93.3kgs and 30.1% bodyfat. I am actually feeling more bloated that a couple of days ago. Gonna stop again after the weekend.

07/10/15 - Rest Day!

Had to take a rest day today as my back and legs were killing.

My weight was down to 92.4kgs today.
