Madness

This is a picture taken from the Sunday Seminare. Thank you Adam for the nice picture! (www.picturethis.se)


Kettlebell madness, im about to go to the Fighter Centre to get my bell (i think its in).

Rage

Rage is a funny thing, i don´t seem to get upset or "raged" alot.
I dont know why, but sometimes you just cant help it and then "BOOM".

Yesterday i was away for a double session of Krav Maga because i could not go today (Wednesday).
I took the bike and was off, on my way i encountered several people going by bike in a walking pace, incredible how slow some people go by bike, it surprises me every time.
Dont they want to go home as fast as they could? And get some nice exercise as well?

Anyhow, after 3 hours of Krav maga i prepared to go home. OFCOURSE i had the luck of getting a flat tire, always these flat tires, why does it always happend to me? I had to walk back home, took me about 1 hour of fast power-rage-walking, i would get more mad but i knew that i was burning good calories on the way home, on a empty stomach. Stubborn fat, begone!

Yesterday was a shitty day at work, a pissy day at the shopping centre and on top of it my laptop-charger have given up and i cannot load the battery anymore, and to make things worse of course i get a flat tire on my bike and my car still sounds like a thousand thunders because the silencer is nowhere to be found (its broken and gone).

Im expecting rage today, maybe it will stay away if i run some kms after work.. But sooner or later it will pop out, like it always does.

Bought my kettlebell yesterday, 20 kgs, looking forward for some swings and snatches next week when it arrives.

Wonderful

A long weekend has passed and it was a tough one, but necessary and really fun.

Saturday started out with a early morning and start at Krav Maga Academy for a seminar in third person protection.
You basically get to learn how to protect your friends, beloved ones or just someone you need to protect against basic attacks like punches, strangleholds, knife threats and pistol threats. Its really cool and I learned a lot deal that some day may save someone a great deal of pain. (Hopefully not though)

After that it was off to the store to shop some groceries and meat, a lot of meat. Got home and surprised Jessica with a good meal (observe picture to the left : ) ).
I ate A LOT of food and not just because it was a hard day but I knew I needed the energy for the next day. After dinnertime it was relaxing and chilling in the sofa watching Lost, a great series that is about to come to an end, all the pieces of the puzzle start falling to place.

Sunday

Same here, up for an early start to go to the Krav Maga academy to finally learn about the sensation kettebell(s).
It was a hard day with all kind of cool and really good exercises that not just workout on one muscle or two, but the whole body. Its great, and even though it was about 5 hours of total kettlebell madness I don’t feel so sore in the body and muscles today, I guess that its coming tomorrow though. Anyways I aim to buy a 20 kg kettebell at first, and then go up when I feel that I can handle it. Looking forward to improve my core and body strength.

If you want to know more about it, Google it or YouTube it. Its worth checking out.

Anyway, before its time to log off. I have trained in the gym for a long time; I have been running and doing all kinds of stuff before.
But right now, right here, the feeling that comes to me is a great one, I am on top of the world and there is only one place to go, up!

This is great.

Quick

Just going to write a quicky, update you about the situation.

Right now im haveing a relaxing time with my herbal cherry tea on my break. Its nice, Relaxation is as important as the training. Use the time well. And i make sure i do.

Anyways, yesterday i ran a new record using my vibram five fingers, i ran 3,33 km and had a pace of 5:17/km .
That means that i ran faster on the vibrams then on my regular running shoes. Thats pretty cool.

But today i had to pay the price, even though i stretched at least 10-15 minutes per calv in various excersices i still had a pretty heavy muscle soreness today.. well im not complaining. ;) Its nice actually.

Anyways, today i have to lay off the training and take care of my car, its nice to go on the bike but when its raining i rather go by car. (And it does rain alot in Gothenburg, believe me).
I have som problems with it but nothing a lite strength cant fix ;)

Peace

For all the non believers out there.

When i began with the Warrior Diet i had a lot of people who said that i was about to die, and break. People who told me that i was crazy, idiotic and weird. And still, here i am, stronger then ever.

Even though i just ate 2 apples, 1 cup of coffee i still managed to work hard, go 15 km by bike in a fast pace, and swim about 1 km directly after. Its a great diet and everything that i expected to work with the diet is working.

(The bike path with info http://j.mp/bxz95j )

Like loosing weight (10 kg), getting more agile, feeling healthier and not being a slave for food anymore. Its great.

Now i am off to bed, or maybe just relax in the sofa some more. 

Take care.

Cycle Madness

Tuesday

Change of plans today, totally. Jessica is swimming 3 times a week and she always say that i must come and swim with her. But i never had time, but tonight ill just have to make time.

Will go by bike to work, and after work i will warm up my legs for 1 hour of constant cycling and then go directly to the swimming pool and have 40 minutes of intense workout there as well. :)

That means that there will be no gym or Krav Maga today due to this. But i will compensate that tomorrow of course.

By the way i tried the 100 Push ups Application yesterday and it worked fine, i don't know how they do the math or so but the goal with the App is to be enable to do 100 push ups within a month. They have some sort of program that calculates how many you have to do each time you train.

Example. Yesterday it was like this.

12 Push ups - Rest 1 min

10 Push ups - Rest

9 Push ups - Rest

7 Push ups - Rest

7 Push ups - Rest

9 Push ups (minimum) - Then you just go full out and do as many as you can.

Tonight its time for the 200 Sit ups Application, will see if that will give me anything as well.

C YA!

Running done.

Monday -

First run for the year and first run ever since like 1,5 years ago. I have to say it was hard, but it always is. I have some cardio due to the bicycling and Krav Maga but i still dont have it full out.
Anyways, one cup of coffee and i was off, it went fine and after 2-3 kms i noticed that my body was burning fat, you can feel it in the stomach somehow, and its a nice feeling.

Except that its tough to run. But after, wonderfull.

Either way it was fine, i came home and drank some water, took a shower and had some vitamines and minerals then i went of to work on the bike. No problems, took an apple and started to work. Dont have any need for hunger and i drink alot of water and just took a proteinshake.

One thing that i didn wrong today before the run was that i didnt drink enough water, going to keep that in mind for wednesday though.

If you want to see how i did, check out this link. It recorded my pace and mapped where i ran. Enjoy!
