I have paid my debts

The 1500kcal-debt of January is now with good margin paid back. 27km of crosscountryskiing over 4.5h yesterday - going from Frognerseteren to Kikut and back.

According to the activity calculator over @ caloriesperhour I did use somewhere between 2600 and 2900kcal at my weight.

Skiing - cross-country, 4 km/h (light)
2,583 calories in 4 hr 30 min
Skiing - cross-country, 6-8 km/h (moderate)
2,952 calories in 4 hr 30 min

Now let's welcome February and the move in to the new apartment!

Note to self:

Boxing - kick boxing
1,230 calories in 1 hr 30 min

Below 80 again

First time weighing in this year after thaiboxing the day before. Perhaps slightly dehydrated. Nonetheless, the weight showed 79.4kg - lowest since 2009.12.14.

Need to get below 78.0kg by February 20th and a game in Stavanger.

List of failures, January

Complete list of failures to comply with the no-sugar-deal in January:

2010.01.10: A glass of Coke - no coffee availible
2010.01.16: 100g of Chips - salty snacks were banned
2010.01.17: 0.5l Burn while driving - just lazy
2010.01.18: 0.5l Powerade - after 3h of thaiboxing
2010.01.22: 50g Chocolate Bar - Markus tempted me
2010.01.24: A glass of syrup - nothing else availible in the woods

Summing up January as a good try, but not perfect.
(150+520+225+225+250+125) 1500kcal to kill.
So I owe myself 3.5h of powerwalking.

(Not accounted for here are yoghurts, mustards, ketchups, cereals, protein bars. But that was never the intention to ban either.)

Got batteries back in my weight now, showing 80.8kg this morning (down from 83.0 New Year)

First Three Weeks

Starting out New Year's Day it was an fairly easy time staying out of the sweets for the first days of the year when spending good time at Haugastøl in the great outdoors and being active. I knew the challenge would come when back at work, hung over or stressed out.

My first "fall through" came after a week and a half resorting to Coca-Cola when feeling dowsy after having a pizza and couldn't get a coffee.

Fair enough, the week after wen't through alright but not having gotten the rules by Petter detailed thoroughly enough I had a bag of crisps Saturday.

The only other time was going for a sugary sports drink after 2x90 minutes of thaiboxing. But I do consider that a good fast way to restitute.

The hard parts are days when the afternoons seem like days and without fruit or nuts availible. That's when the sweet-crave sets in. Not to mention the rare cases of hungoverness. Chocolate has been a "cure" there for years but not now.

Results so far - weight down by 2-4 kg (battery is flat in my weight)

Stay Tuned - Stay Sugarfree

First Entry

Long story short - the end of 2009 saw a quite steep increase in the weightcurve so 2010 calls for something different.
Solution: Go Sugarfree!

Outline:
- stay out of snacks and sweets
- steer clear of cakes and cookies
- icecream and cream in any other form for that matter

Other means to reach the end:
Two 90 minutes of thaiboxing per week + at least one 60 minute long cardio-workout (ski, cycle, run depending on season)

Goal:
Have weighed in at75 kg by Midsummer's Eve and turn 30 with a visible "six-pack"
