Spend some time yesterday testing my physical condition. Unfortunately it wasn´t that impressive with 8,053 kg´s of body fat (BF%: 12,0) and a VO2-max of 4224 ml oxygen/min. I need to bring my bodyweight (65,3 kg) down and the oxygen uptake up, either by dieting and exercising or cosmetical surgery and EPO, before April 2005. Guess I start with the first and wait witth the latter.

And, no, it wasn´t fun!

For now, during the winter don’t worry too much about your weight. It’s good to have some extra pounds to keep your body temperature from lowing during the workouts. Focus on your training - base training - and you will also loose some weight slowly, specially your “bad” fat. Then you can focus on loosing weight on the beginning of the spring when the weather heats up.
maybe you´re right, but I prefer to get the weight down before starting the very intensive training in March and April. The DEXA-scan shows me that I can lose about 4 kg´s of body fat, so my target is about 62 kg. If I can keep my VO2-max the weight loss itself will raise my VO2/kg bodyweight to about 68 or 69. Cause I´m aiming for 70, I still need to train hard, I guess.
