We arrived back in Melbourne last night after 9 or so days away in Horsham. Was good to catch up with both the family and extended family for Christmas and New Year. Was able to take the kettlebells home (opted for 2 x 16 kg's). Continued on the ROP on the Saturday the 26th and on Monday but got a bit antsy on the following days and did some double KB work on Wednesday and a KB complex on Friday.
With only 4 weeks to go on the ROP I've decided to forge on. Weighed in this morning at 86.5 so there wasn't a lot of weight gain. A little bit higher on the skinfolds but I haven't done them for a while so it will be hard to say whether or not the % has crept up or not.
Health and training goals are reasonably simple this year:
1) Get under 10% bodyfat - This is all diet so I intend to continue on the low-carb/Atkins road and cut out as much grain as possible. It's time to drop the chocolate on a regular basis as well as the treats after dinner. Eggs in the morning with my tuna salad at lunch is a perfect way to start the day. Throw in an apple with some almonds for snacking and a protein based dinner and I should be well on the way.
2) Tidy up the diet - Kind of linked in with no 1.
3) Floss twice a day, everyday
4) Take fish oil everyday
5) Double BW deadlift, BW and a half squat, BW bench press - I will reassess things at the end of the ROP cycle but my thinking is that a long cycle of Starting Strength or Wendlars 5-3-1 program might be the ticket to get to this.
So there it is. I think that all of the above are achievable and not that it has been aired in net land it will be interesting to return a year later to see how we've gone.
