So far my trip back home to Sydney was initially daunting as stated in a previous post. Yes my sleeping pattern is still screwed but getting back on track slowly. My daily Sydney routine compared to my Adelaide routine had adjusted a bit, mainly due to the sleeping pattern.
There is definitely a lot more distractions for me, which is stopping me from being able to sleep, I guess its too many toys and leaving the lights on longer.
I did not know I had a set of scales at my Sydney house, which I kinda stopped tracking my weight loss, but have managed to find them and to my surprise, I weighed myself
By the looks of things, I have managed to move my weight set point lower, metabolism feels like its back to doing its normal thing now, so I am not needing to eat over 5 times a day, just back to 3 times. My fast is getting easier to achieve
The great thing about this change, I am still able to still eat what ever I want, just have to be mindful/conscious about what I had eaten. Even, after two days of indulgence (portion control still had a play), I had manage to skip dinner without feeling hungry.
One of my friends from way back, came over, who had always been a part time personal trainer/fitness instructor and had tips and corrections to my workout and also suggested to do some back exercises.
Now my routine had also increased, my morning sets would consist of the following 4 sets:
- 10 reps of push-ups
- 20 seconds of elbow plank
- 30 seconds of cat and cow yoga pose
- 10 reps of squats
The new after dinner session had also increased, now the routine consist of the following:
Begin with a set of 10 squats then 8 sets of the following:
- 5 rep of push-ups
- 10 second elbow plank
- 30 seconds cat and cow yoga pose
Then another 10 squats followed by 6 sets of the following:
- 20 reps of doing bridges without holding pose
- 5 rep combination of leg bends with leg raises (found out what it was called)
- 5 reps of normal crunch
And then end with another 10 squats.
