Back at home (80) (28.2.2010)

When I got bach home I felt an incredible urge to go out and ski my ass off as a punishment for eating and drinking too much over the weekend. I skied the same route I did on Thursday, except this time doing two laps (á 1,6 km) in Olari. I tried to see how fast I could do the lap, and I did the first lap in 7 minutes and 18 seconds. On the second lap I to it a bit easier, not pushing myself to the limit like I did on the first laps. This time my time was 7 minutes and 47 seconds. I think this pretty much tells me that my technique (or rather the lack of any) doesn't last under more effort. Better just take it easy from now on and just make longer trips until I can get technically better at freestyle cross-country skiing.

Today my trip took a little over an hour and I burned exactly 1400 kcal according to my hr monitor.

Weigh'ing tomorrow. I hope it'll be low enough so I won't get depressed. I'm expecting a weight of high 95's, but we'll see. I'm still hoping I could make a low 94's on Friday morning for the weekly weigh'ing.

Getting closer (79) (26.2.2010)

On Thursday skied a new route that was pretty fun to ski. First and last 2 km were hard (the normal central park route), but now I added a new part in Olari. All on all I skied 1,34 km in just over an hour, burning 1310 kcal.

On Friday morning I weighed 94,6 kg, so only 1,6 kg left to my first goal of 2010. upcoming weekend is going to set me back a little, on Monday we'll find out how much.

I should've believed myself (78) (23.2.2010)

My legs we just too tired after Sunday and Monday, but since I wanted to lose some excess water in my body in order to get my weight down, I decided to go to the gym anyway. I ran for 30 minutes and it never felt good. After the run I pedaled the bike with a low resistance, trying to get the lactic acids out of my muscles.

Today I'll rest just so that I can do my usual routine on Thursday.

Great weather (77) (22.2.2010)

Great golf by Ian Poulter mast night! The bad thing about that was that I stayed up late watching it. Today after work I fell asleep on the couch and wasn't sure if I'd have the energy to go ski, but I did go anyway. I'm glad I did, since I had a great time and I really rhig I getting a hang ofthe tecnique. I skied for an hour and 20 minutes, burning 1070 kcal.

The weekend of eating crap left an extra kilo into my body when comparing to Friday morning. I'm still confident I can lose 0,5-1 kg come next Friday.

75 & 76 (75 & 76) (21.2.2010)

Fantastic day. I felt really energetic when I woke up and couldn't wait to go to the gym. When I got there, I started with 60 minutes on the bike and followed it with 30 minutes on the treadmill. I Tried to do some abs, but the were too sore from yesterday.

After lunch I still had quite a bit of energy left in me, so I went skiing. I did just over an hour in the central park.

Alltogether I burned 2250 kcal today.

The good and the bad (74) (20.2.2010)

It's ugly.

A good trip to the gym. 30 minutes of running and 15 minutes on the bike. I also did 4x30 ab crunches and 4x10 inclined bench presses.

The bad came after. Since I had no nachos yesterday, I made sure I wouldn't make the same mistake again. We bought nachos, potato chips, chocholate donuts, candy and assorted chili nuts. Now, after OD'ing on sugas, fat and salt I know I won't be doing it again in a while. Feeling like this sucks.

Forgot (73) (18.2.2010)

This was a hard week, so today I gave myself a day off. I wanted to me a good weight and after 15 minutes of running, 15 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes on the AMT I was able to make a decent weight this morning. 95,3 kg is 1,1 kg less than last week.

After deciding to pig out for the day I wanted to do it well. I started the morning with two rolls, a Snickers bar and a bag of candy. For lunch I ate a minute steak with french fries and a Coke. I even had a beef in the afternoon. :-) Later today we went for pizza and right now I eatin more candy. The only regret I have is that I didn't buy nachos and salsa.

Tomorrow I will return to my normal schedule of extreme dieting and working out. It'll feel good after this.
