heartbroken3 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 You too JA good job JMJ. Diets been on point. Was too tired for leg day last night so I'm going after work! Link to comment
rich46 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Day 20 Walked so many kilometres exploring Tokyo with my friend. At least ten kms, so happy with my exercise today. Sure it burnt off the calories of the blueberry cheesecake crepe in Harajuku this afternoon! Link to comment
rich46 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Day 21 Woke up nice and early and did some resistance band exercises in my hotel. Going to use them more often as they are so adaptable so it is easy to target the muscles I want to get bigger. Link to comment
JA0371 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Day 20 I missed cardio today and went to a bday party tonight. Will double up on diet and cardio tomorrow!! Link to comment
heartbroken3 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 That's awesome rich. Hope the party was good ja! Did biking, shoulders yesterday. Off day today but will eat good. Link to comment
JA0371 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Day 21 done!! 40 min cardio..,,and eating clean! Link to comment
JA0371 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 So I decided to start adding meditation in with exercise. My mind is always running, so I know it's going to take practice. So rather than even attempt to sit still right off the bat for 20 minutes, Im going to just work up to it. Crazy as it sounds, Im going to start with one minute...then add a minute every day till I make it 20 minutes. So by the end of this challenge I should be at around 20 minutes. Wish me luck....this will be harder than the working out part lol. Link to comment
Zuri Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I dropped the ball on this challenge Link to comment

You may consider trying yoga too in that sometimes focusing on poses and breathing gives you something else to focus on (whereas as you don't have something else to focus on with meditation). Meditation is great but very hard! Link to comment
rich46 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Day 22 My body aches! We were at a theme park next to Mount Fuji called Fuji Q Highland and one rollercoaster in particular, called Ejanaika, was ridiculously good but so powerful. Pulled a little muscle in my neck! Anyway, we walked for miles today and going hiking tomorrow, so I am classing that as my exercise Link to comment
JA0371 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Day 22: New week!! Chest and cardio...oh yeah and one minute of meditation lol. I got this! Link to comment

New routine: wed- chest, Thurs - legs, fri - arms, sat - core, sun - shoulders - Monday - cardio, Tuesday - back. Also saw an article online on how celebrity chef dean followed jake gylenhaal's diet for 30 days and was just shredded after with minimal exercise. Link to comment

JA0371 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Day 24: Today is leg day....I just noticed some definition and tone starting to happen in my quads which have muscle memory from years of biking. Yayyyy!! Progress!! Not much longer till we hit 40 days!! It's going so fast! Link to comment

Diet is probably 80% of what people consider 'getting in shape'. When I start a diet to get ready for a competition, I do zero cardio and will lose 1.5 - 2 lbs per week. Link to comment

I typically do around 20 minutes of cardio a day and weights. Sometimes it's just to warm up. Thx Link to comment
JA0371 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 I know we are only at day 24, but I am already considering bumping it to 60. Who is in?? Link to comment
JMJ Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Can you share an example of your diet? I typically do around 20 minutes of cardio a day and weights. Sometimes it's just to warm up. Thx Sure. This was designed for me and I weigh 175 right now, so it will vary based on your weight. Six meals, eating every 2.5-3 hours: Meal 1: 2 whole eggs, 8 egg whites, 3/4 cup oats, 1/3 cup blueberries Meal 2: 30 grams of protein from quality poweder, 1/2 cup oats, 1 tbsp almond butter Meal 3: 6oz (before cooking) chicken breast, turkey, or lean beef, 3/4 cup (after cooking) quinoa, 1 cup broccoli or green beans, 1/4 cup almonds or walnuts Meal 4: same as Meal 2 Meal 5: same as Meal 3 minus the nuts Meal 6: 10 egg whites Yes, it's hard to stick to, but it becomes routine and the results are amazing. I feel so good when I diet, and also know I look good, but this is secondary lol. I've been told several times woman don't like guys that are too 'ripped', but I do it for me, not to impress .
