TR vs the future
-
good workout yesterday, some very sore muscles at the end, although feel surprisingly good today. Back from a 35 minute run, finished with a 100m sprint in the scorching sun, again, feeling very good! <br />
<br />
Get some cravings for some of the foods and drinks I have cut out or reduced, given in a couple of times, but just as a treat... -
haha, yeah thats what I didnt say, in moderation <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> <br />
<br />
still having some internal issues now and then, but otherwise and feeling alot better for the change of diet and increase in exercise. -
cos it is the end of the month, I weighed in this morning, 97.0kg, so 6kg in 31 days, pretty happy with that! <br />
<br />
Another good workout today, with some different exercises, day off tomorrow. -
yeah mate, feel pretty good, as I said even when I am running, I feel great, no where near as knackered as I expected, I assume the better diet is giving me greater energy levels.<br />
<br />
Not sure where the 6kg has gone from though :think:...2 more kg to my initial target, will re-assess once there. -
[quote name='BartMan']the beltometer is the best judge I reckon. [B]Pre xmas I was slipping to second hole, but now well back into first hole[/B]!! Is the belt I had when a fat bastard too, so wraps around past my hip!! My reminder.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Two points to make. <br />
<br />
TR, excellent work so far pal.<br />
<br />
Bart, any idea how dodgy the above looks ? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> -
day off yesterday, not sure I will be able to do anything today and already chomping at the bit because of it!! <br />
<br />
That has to be a good thing! -

As a fellow garage weights enthusiast a word of warning. Don't be stupid like me and think "right I benched/curled/cleaned or whatever yesterday" and try and beat it the next day. Very tempting if the weights are just sitting there. You'll only overtrain and get weaker ! -
with the amount of weight I have (~100kg) I dont think there is much chance of that, more variety of exercises, although you cant beat the core ones (as Bart mentioned on another thread) like Squats, bench etc.<br />
<br />
Pretty happy with the way things are ticking over, just wondering where the 6kg has gone from :think: just need to get past the 6kg hurdle, been hovering around it for about a week now -
changed my workouts since last weekend; shoulders, arms and legs, then chest, back and abs on the other day, also throwing in some calisthenic exercises as well.<br />
<br />
Definately getting a better burn from the muscles than I was doing 1 exercise of each during a workout.<br />
<br />
Even better, today I am 95.8kg, STOKED! 7.5/8 kg target down! <br />
<br />
Have acquired a punch bag, but I need to work out how to hang it so that it doesnt shake the house (garage is under the lounge) too much, Ihave a couple of ideas on dampening the bounce from the bag, but will have to see. -
Shoulders, arms, legs and a wee bit of ab's tonight, with some punch bag mixed in as well, went hard out as tomorrow is a rest day and I have a 2 day golf tournament on the weekend, which should be interesting given I havent played since April last year!<br />
<br />
Weigh in this morning at 95.7kg, after a low weight loss last week, seems to be moving quicker this week. -
Doing well there mate. Weight loss and I bet getting stronger too.<br />
<br />
Be interesting to hear how the golf goes. Sure not played for a while but sounds like you are fitter and in better shape now.<br />
<br />
I played my first game of golf for 2011 just before christmas and after about 1 year of working out I couldnt beleive how much further I was hitting it. Had absolutely no touch around the greens but I'd never been able to hit the ball as far as I do now. -
HItting the ball a long way has never been a problem for me, even at my best my touch around the greens has always been my weak point!<br />
<br />
But I have found I tend to play better when I am in better shape so hopefully off-set some of the effects of not playing.<br />
<br />
As to my strength, I would guess, but given I am trying to lose weight I have been doing higher reps for the most part, although still increasing my weight where I can, and the fact I am thinking I need more weight probably shows that?<br />
<br />
But just feel so much better, more energy without the lows and highs -
keen for any advice you are willing to give, just beatign the crap out of it at present! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

Golf was a bit of a disaster (handicap match play) 1st match was rubbish, 2nd I played alot better and on a course I have played on for >20 years, I hit 2 of the biggest drives I have ever hit, but alas, my short game was up to hit's usual standard. Lost this morning, played my best golf of the weekend, and got caned, but doesnt help when due to handicap I have to give my opposition a shot on so many holes and they play as good as me<br />
<br />
So no exercising this weekend (although playing golf in 25+ heat had me sweating loads) have some tidying in the backyard to do this afternoon, and Monday is my Auckland day, so am chomping at the bit for Tuesday which is likely my next day for a workout <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> -
Bugger mate! Often a bit like that after you've had a bit of time off the greens. And big drives too....its that added muscle eh!<br />
<br />
What handicap are you playing off mate? Sucks giving away shots, especially when you're not playing as well as ya can.
