Hooroo quietly getting fit
-
I have had many changes. My two flatmates (both Female) now serve me my dinner after I cook and I am only allowed as much as them which isn't a lot at all and I'm now used to that.<br />
<br />
Found a gym partner too but that doesn't kick off properly until next week and I have also been running.<br />
<br />
Refusing to weigh myself as i don't want to be a slave to the scales. I know what i need to do and that is a lot of work so will just try and keep at it.<br />
<br />
Still keen for a ride on the weekends. I'm up over you way this weekend for a wave -
yeah, just give me a tinkle, working Saturday, but open to offers outside that!!!<br />
<br />
I weight myself every day at the moment, just because I am a number nerd - and it fluctuates around 2kg a day, but don't care about the weight - it is the notches on the belt that is the best guide I reckon, and on my 'fat black belt' I am on the last notch , comfortably, again, after it getting a bit tight over summer!!<br />
<br />
There is a good 10 inches* flapping in the breeze now when my belt is done up, there used to be only the one notch a year or three back!<br />
<br />
But then I will go for months without weighing myself.<br />
<br />
*Also when I leave my fly open when going commando, but that is another story... eusa_whistle -
Your true weight is considered when you are standing first thing in the morning after a slash wearing nothing but a pair of daks isn't it ? This is when you are at your lightest and also your tallest ( your spine compresses during the day making you lose up to a centimetre or so ) <br />
<br />
......so that might explain Conrad Smith supposedly being 95kg ( I dont actually believe he is that much, must have been weighed after a huge feed ) but doesn't explain how Daniel Braid is over 6 foot eusa_think -
I'm stuffed if I can work out who the new misses was on this thread. Can't have been that great as I'm not with her any more.<br />
<br />
Was going to start a new thread but thought I would regurgitate an old one instead.<br />
<br />
I no longer weigh myself. I have been watching my food input to a degree and playing a heap of golf and a bit of running and weights. <br />
<br />
None of my belts fit any more (all too loose, before you ask)<br />
<br />
I'm wearing a shirt that I haven't been able to fit in five years.<br />
<br />
Funny thing is, I have absolutely no idea how much I weigh.<br />
<br />
Don't have the sticky out thing below my chest and above my hips! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Still quietly losing weight. 9kg's in 9 weeks now (Or at least I think so as I didn't weigh myself originally but had my 115 belt notch on nine weeks ago. I was most likely a little heavier, but am being conservative)<br />
<br />
Did a 5.3k run last night and wished I had kept going but instead got home and did weights for 40 mins. Felt amped all night as the run was pretty much 60% up hill and the rest in the forest dodging fallen trees etc.<br />
<br />
Rotorua really is the best place in NZ for running. So many well posted tracks with distances. -
It's awesome when you get fit enough that running is truly enjoyable - that buzz when you can start to push a bit harder is primo. I much prefer offroad/track running to pounding the pavement. Much better for your knees/hips and nicer scenary too : )<br />
<br />
9kg in 9 weeks is a bloody good effort too - Have you got a target weight in mind? -
No Target weight in mind. becasue I have no idea what it should be. When I finished Recruit Course in 1995, I was 87kg's of lean mean fighting machine <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> but only 20 years old. I reckon it would be very possible to be 92-95 kg's and look extrememly fit. That would be another 11kg+ to lose.<br />
<br />
I am doing a lot of stretches to extend my golf rotation and with the weights my drive is reaching distances I hadn't dreamed of. I don't want to bulk up at all, I just want to be lean. -
Was in the hotel gym yesterday and they had a single 'spin' bike so I set up ten songs in the ipod to play as if I was doing a class and I was wrapt with the result. Alternating slower and faster rockier songs by doing standing hills or downhill sprints! Was the most knackered I could get without actually being in a spin class.<br />
<br />
Nice to muck around with some heavier weights after too. I can only bicep curl 10kg at home as that is the max weight but I extend the reps. It was nice to be able to rock out three sets of 10 with the 15kg dumbells. -

If you haven't already get some kids dude, holding one in each arm while walking up a hill is "two tickets to the gun show" time. Aged one and nearly three but they are about the same weight ( younger one is already nicknamed Brad Thorn by my work colleagues ) -
Ha ha! Need a new wife first <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

Carry some weights instead. They tend not to whinge and ask for ice creams. -
[quote name='JK']Good shet mate. Remember you saying they were quite bland at first but they sure grow on ya![/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Yeah they were bland as I hadn't soaked them enough.<br />
<br />
I find that I make them and put them in the fridge and by the time I have had two cups of coffee, they are ready and yummy
