Im the CEO of my body

Hi,

So who tied a 3 day plan? Did it work. I tried two 3 day plans this week, the first for my trip to Melbourne. My goal was to maintain my new found 100 kg status, I knew I would not have any time for exercise so instead of getting a hotel room I booked a self service apartment, to prepare and make make my own meals. I felt I did most things right over the 3 days but alas I mustn’t of, as I was back to 103 kg when I arrived back home. I have to say I was disappointed, I felt trim and I also thought I had done most things right, next time I will need to add some exercise to my regime.

Thursday was going to be a big work day for me, I had a normal day plus I had to prepare for very important meeting on Friday with one of my major clients, so Thursday was all about work and eating right. I eventually wrapped up my Thursday workday at 2:30 am on Friday, a few hours sleep then I headed off to my meeting. Friday afternoon I kicked off my second 3 day plan with 3 hours of paddling and fun down the river with my kids and some friends. Saturday I did a full day of hiking and being down the local pool with my kids followed by a planned 2 hour session of stretching, walking 6 km and running 8 km. An electrical storm hit just after I finished the 6 km walk, so I bolted for home, 2.7 km away, the one thing I did take from my run was I had an improved style, I think I was running in a better style, Saturday night I was back to my 100 kg. Sunday I planned a mega day 2 lots of 2 hour session of stretching, walking 6 km and running 8 km & I achieved them.

This week I will also blog about the type of food I eat and cook.

Breakfast or Breaky as we call it in our house. I generally have the same breaky 3 to 4 days per week, about 250 gram of frozen blueberries & raspberries and 150 gram of greek yoghurt. To this mixture I add any of the following; honey, sesame seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, wheat germ, apple, banana, strawberries…pretty much anything you think you need or want.

Now for lunch and dinner I have been trying a lot of different options around;

BBQ & Salad is a regular meal in summer in Oz and we BBQ just about anything from kangaroo to fish. We always make salads simple and fresh, I will write up a few recipes over the next couple of weeks and post them.

Sushi is also becoming a regular for lunches , it seems to work for me.

This week I am at home all week I am trying out a Mediterranean type diet of vegetables and seafood, I will let you know how it goes.

I wish you all a good week and thank you for your comments on my blog, you can also follow me on twitter @jelcombe, the iPhone App Runkeeper adds my activities directly to my twitter account, which I think is cool.

My goal for this week is 98 kg by next Sunday night. What is yours?

Jon
