losing weight

Joaquin — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:39:33 +0000

Well the paleo diet is giving some good results.
This morning: 79.4kg so that is a 2.1 total lost.

5k and good news at the “scale”

Joaquin — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:41:57 +0000

1 week and 1 day since the start and my weight this morning was 79.5kg so far 2 kg lost.

Very pleased with the weight but not so happ with the exercise as I cannot start the weight lifting yet.

Instead I ran 5 km in 26’15″ not bad at all!

Another new beginning!!

Joaquin — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 17:41:28 +0000

Started Paleo Lifestyle
I came back from the UK with 4 kg more 81.5 kg (today).
This was due to a shoulder injury which stopped me from excercising and the general cake, sweets and overeating!!

But today is the star of a new beginning. I know how the paleo diet works, I have seen it before, having great results, so bring it on!!

Bicycle ride through Jerez countryside

Joaquin — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 21:14:39 +0000

I went for a Bicycle ride with my friend Julio around the Jere countryside vineyards (campiña). We started too hard for being this the first time. We need to find better and easier rides for now. Certainly a good workout as we went up really steep hills and down recovering quite nicely, fantastic interval training.

Weight this morning on my scale: 75.4 kg.holding on.

SUNDAY 090712 & SATURDAY 090711 2 WODs and cycling

Joaquin — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 21:37:36 +0000

SUNDAY 090712
Five rounds for time of:
30 Glute-ham sit-ups
25 Back extensions
SATURDAY 090711
Ten rounds for time of:
3 Weighted Pull-ups, 45 pounds
5 Strict Pull-ups
7 Kipping Pull-up

I did:
30 situps
25 good mornings with 10 kg plate.
Total time: 7′ 58″

and:

5 Rounds (I could not do the 10 rounds as prescribed by the crossfit brand X “Pack version”)
3 strict pullups
5 Chin ups (working on negatives)
7 Kipping pull ups

Total time: 13′ 55″

I am happy with my situps but not with my strict pull ups. I need to work on them.
I did 5 rounds of them as I was going for a bicycle ride later and I was struggling with the strict pull ups.

I went to my brothers in El Puerto de Santa Maria at 1345h in a 40 degrees hot day. I must have taken my around one hour. I could not record the exact time as my Trailguru program on my iPhone 3G did stop when I was changing songs. I will try to see if I can work out how to calculate with the parcial times.

Scale not as good as I want but not too bad neither: 75.7 Kg. I am eating a more paleo diet.

Long run 9k

Joaquin — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 09:32:02 +0000

I did a longer run today, 9k.
Really slow run but I do not think I could do it much better, so step by step. I am looking to start getting ready for my first marathon in Seville (Feb 2010).

For the last 3 days my weight has been fixed to 75.9 kg., so I cannot complain. I am just looking forward to get a new low record. The body composition though looks better in my opinion.
