Mission 1. Day 5.

Hello everyone

Well day five is done and dusted and I feel like toast that’s been buttered and put back into the toaster for another round, cut into soldiers and dipped in a soft boiled egg.

























I love it! By the way, do you guys take your photos before you hit the gym or after when you’re still reasonably pumped?

In the morning at around 10am I hit the gym for my morning cardio workout, lots of running and then some light weight work that involved multiple muscle groups, done at speed to really get the blood flowing, the heart pumping and my furnace burring.

I have eaten well today and I don’t mean quantity, I bought lots of great and varied veggies to make a wicked tasting soup, some lean chicken, tuna, salmon and fruit. My cupboards are full and I am ready for more.

I revisited the gym at 6pm to do my upper body workout, I am going to stick to the same sets for this week and build up some strength before change it around a bit next week.

Tomorrow up early for the start of day six, after I have posted this I am going to play a few games of FIFA Soccer on my PS3 then watch a DVD with my wife.

Again thanks for all your comments, I know I have not visited your own blogs much at the moment, I try to not stay online too long as I am preparing for the birth of my first child in about 3 weeks from now but I will get to it ASAP.

Cheers Peeps
