Day 116: Jeans Before & After Pics


















G'day,

Check this! I went to a wedding party last night in Osaka and had a great time. The funny thing was I that I needed to buy a new pair of jeans as my 'old' pair didn't fit me anymore. Keep in mind my 'old' pair didn't fit me for 6 years as they were 84 cm's around the waist while I was 91 cm's. Take a look below.

So, my new pair of jeans is 78 cm's around the waist! This is gonna get expensive as I start replacing all my old clothes.

However, it is another incentive to stay in shape, if I don't I'm gonna burn a massive hole in my wallet! My advice is that when you get in shape go and treat yourself and get a wardrobe full of new clothes.

Here's a big tip, don't give yourself any 'wiggle room' in your clothes, make them as tight and figure hugging as possible so that you will not only stay in shape but continue to make gains (or losses).

Day 115: I'm Back...Google Lock Down Over!


















G'day,

A great day! A 'Google Human' reviewed my blog and verified that I am 'fair dinkum' (Aussie slang for straight-up). Here is what happenned!

On Day 112 post Google (which owns Blogger) has locked me out of posting on my blog. It seems my Real time Physique Blog had been flagged by Google’s ‘robot algorithms’ for some reason.

This is what I was met with when I tried to post on Day 113.








Their help page said sometimes their ‘bots’ get it wrong so a ‘Google human’ reviewer would take take a look at my site sometime within 2 business to verify that it is not an automated submission blog full of useless information.

Actually, the reason I think Google’s bots didn’t like my blog is because I have posted almost daily for the last 116 days since November 8, 2006. Posting this often may have raised a red flag, but just so you know, every single post has been my own thoughts, struggles and feelings as I have progressed through my journey. Nothing has been copied or pasted from any other site that I run.

Put simply, every post is unique and from my heart.

A Special Thank You!

I really want to thank all the people who went to my blog making comments on my Day 112 post during the lock-down. These comments let the Google reveiwer know that my blog is for real as there were real people making real comments.

I really appreciate all of you for taking the time to do that, it really means a lot to me. Also, thanks Kelly, for starting the Free Adam Advocates, that really made my day!

Before I sign off I have to real honest. My workouts did suffer during the lock down. I was too focused on getting my blog back than working out hard. As you can see from my pics below I still have a lot of work to do to get a shredded six-pack before M2 is over.

However, everything is cool now. I am back and totally focused where I should be, that is getting 'totally ripped' by March 24, 2007 so I can kick it in Phuket with a shredded six-pack.

Nothing is gonna stop me now!

Peace,
AJ

Day 114: Google Lock Down Day 2


















G'day,

This day was Day 2 of my Google Lock Down. I went massive today doing 32 sets of pre-exhaust supersets of all 8 muscle groups. Absolutely brutal!

Day 113: Google Lock-Down Day 1


















G'day,

Well, this day was the start of my Google Lock Down. I wasn't able to post for the next 48 hours due to a red flag that popped up on Google's 'bots'. I'll explain the full story in a later post.

This day I went hard on Hybrid Cardio doing 2 sessions. I did 'steady state cardio' running 5 km in 28 min 10 seconds and cycling for 15 minutes keeping my heart rate at 160 bpm. In the evening I did HIIT cardio burning 200 calories in 12 minutes on the treadmill and ab training.

Peace,
AJ
