Cheers. Very keen to get on top. Â Seeing an instructer for a decent weekly workout plan tomorrow morning. Â Any tips on what I should say to him when he says "What do you want out of this?" apart from the obvious... lose 16 kgs<br />

Tell him you want to be able to run a marathon in 18 months time, and get light enough to not injure yourself while trinaing, or smoetrhing. -
Right! Went to the gym and got a proper weight from a digital machine rather than using the type that you slide the weight across the top of the bar.<br />
<br />
Actual weight is 113.5 which slightly better.... but get this. Body fat % of 36.3% <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> Chuuuuuuuuuubo!!!!<br />
<br />
Had a personal training session and passed out.. truly. I came round and he fed me a chalky tasting energy lollie thing... thought that would have been the end but nup! We kept going. When finished I just sat slumped in the changing rooms with head between legs trying not to throw up!!!<br />
<br />
Excellent Session though. Loved every waking moment of it and will carry it on. It felt like the first 30 minutes of the first rugby game of the season.<br />
<br />
Will check weight again 2 weeks today<br />
<br />
MENTAL NOTE FOR HOOROO!!!! Remember to eat breakfast before doing killer workout!!! -

I love that feeling, your body getting back into action. Remember not have done ANY running for about a year after finished rugby. Played an afternoons touch, about an hour, and two days later my quads didn't work. Swore to never let myself go like that again!! Was rowing and cycling up a strom still, and doing weights, just had not run, and wow, did I suffer!!

I agree. It's a good hurt rather than a bad one. Wouldn't mind having the strength to pick up a pen though <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> -

Not quite. Had a few when I went out last Friday. But no-where near as much as I used to smoke when out haveing a drink. Haven't had a sober one in ages now -
Tell me something. Do avacados contain Carbs as I'm trying not to eat carbs in the evening, but my Carrot,Lettuce and Tomatoe salad didn't cut it so I threw in an avacado. Yummo.<br />
<br />
No meat tonight, but Oh My Days if I see a takeaway delivery vehicle near the house there will be a mugging! -
40 minutes cardio keeping my heart rate between 163 and 170. Last ten minutes was a 10 minute row but I was pretty stuffed by then. It is a Concept 2 as well.<br />
<br />
10mins = 2267m<br />
<br />
Not too bad as I can do 5000 in 20 mins pretty easy if I haven't done anything beforehand -
Made up the yummiest fatbusting soup tonight.<br />
<br />
Sweated down 2 whole leeks with 4 sliced garlic cloves, 2 fresh chilis and fresh rosemary. Then added a litre of Chicken stock and a massive handful of fresh flat leaf parsley. Let it simmer for an hour and bob's ya Mums sisters live in lover!!!<br />
<br />
Fillinf enough and super tasty. Good for the waistline too -
50 Min Gym session.<br />
<br />
Did a ten minute hill climd and then 10 mins row beating yesterday metres by 23 <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /> 2290<br />
<br />
Then 320 Chest Press followed by 1 minute intensive sprint on the bike<br />
320 Lat Pulls followed by 1 minute intensive sprint on the bike<br />
3* 15 and 3*15 Tri push downs and Bicep curls followed by 1 minute intensive sprint on the bike<br />
Then 100 sit-ups in different variations.<br />
Took me ages to get heart-rate back down. It is 50 mins since the session and I'm still beading a little bit<br />
<br />
Brekkie was Fat Busting Fruit Smoothie (That's actually what it is called from the store tha sells it)<br />
Lunch, Tuna Salad followed by Fruit Salad<br />
Dinner will be the rest of the Soup I made last night. -
good work Hooroo - welcome to the age of concept2, and improving your times by metres and seconds... My last to PB increases were by about half a second and 3 or 4 metres. Must need another conditioning lag before going hard out again.<br />
<br />
ANyway, well done big fella, keep it going, waiting for the challenge to come on.... :coolsmiley: -
