    it's all in the eating, and in eating the right foods.

    I'm in the same place - smashed down to under 95 and now feel like I'll never see the end of 96.something due to a bad spell of eating. In my case I convinced myself I was doing the right thing, but I wasn't.<br />

    Time to get back on the horse and accept the painful truths of self-control: )<br />

    I guess the changes I made got me into a much better place than I was fairly quickly, so expected it to keep working...but to get to the next level I guess I need to make further changes...<br />

    I was sitting there tonight feeling peckish so had me a nice filling pint of water!

    A nice little treat in the evenings is a scoop of protein powder, mixed with water to make it into a cream as opposed to a full shake, and then pour that over a weight watchers jelly. In one word, yummo. And kills the craving for something sweet in the evening!

    Good going on the hill runs and pull ups, and all the rest. For food, just smaller portions for a start. Write down what you eat for a week, and assess it.

    Yeah food portion is somethign I have realised is an issue and have reduced breakfast and lunches the past week or so, my wife still seems to think I need a huge plate of whatever it is we are having <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
    <br />
    Chest and back<br />
    Bench, dips, deadlifts and pull ups<br />
    <br />
    Finished with 2.30 plank, 30 sec rest and another minute, started getting a little pain in my right shoulder in the second plank, I have had rotator issues with this in the past...<img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

    Eating off a smaller plate is a great way to trick the mind on those smaller meals.<br />

    Working late tonight with the team so shouted them mexicali for dinner. Just ate a massive as burito which was hot as hell. If I dont post tomorrow (or ever again) its because I've managed to catch the sheets on fire overnight!

    7.26km @ 56.21mins, pretty happy with that time too, reckon <50 is a good target.<br />
    [/quote]<br />
    <br />
    Did this run today in 52.46mins, and reckon I left at least 2 mins out there today, <50 mins is definately achievable, the wasted time is all on the uphill legs though, I give it a good go coming down, without going too quick which could end with me falling down a 20m bank or something...<br />
    <br />
    I pushed it on the uphill leg, particularly the 1st one, but still gave it a nudge on the 2nd lap. Lower back and hammies were much better today, felt like I was getting a cramp in the middle of the left side of my back but went away.

    Good stuff bro! you know you are getting fitter when you can put the hammer down on the uphill sections, that lets you (kinda!) get your wind back on the downhill or level sections. If you feel cramp coming just concentrate on your breathing - slowing it down if you can or at least getting your rhythm going better, I find that works really well at getting rid of stitch etc.

    yeah it was about 2 mins into the downhill section where there is a 30m or so incline and I always sprint up it, but like you say, once I got back into my rhythm on the downhill it went away after a minute or so.

    Circuit day;<br />
    <br />
    90 sec punch bag, 12 frog squats, 15 ez bar curls, 25 crunches, 15 dips, 30 RTW, 20 push ups, 12 cleans, 12 squat jumps, 90 sec plank = x 3 (90 sec break between circuits)<br />
    <br />
    Changed from resting on elbows for planks to push up position with feet on a bucket, less stress on the shoulders, although with the frog squats and push ups, was tough holding that position! Might up the frog squats to 15-20, drop the push ups and include another exercise next time.

    Monday is my day off, as muscles usually pretty tight, yesterday no exception, but instead played my first proper round of golf in 18 months (ie not Ambrose)<br />
    <br />
    Felt pretty good really, hit some superb shots, just a stretch between hole 8 & 11 where I had 3 double bogies to go out to 12 over, I finished at 11 over after 18...putting was a mission (but then my short game has always been the weakest part of my game) greens were cored this week, so cant expect too much there! BUt my chipping was the killer, hit a few superb drives and in position to chip and putt for birdie and walk off with bogey <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

    Not bad mate. Chipping can be tough when you havent played alot in recent times. Lose that feel and also the level headedness of what short to actually try and play.

    given I've played so little, I was happy with how I hit it, the scoring was pants (4 3 putts, 3 <30m pitches on par 4s and miss the green) but like you say, it's that touch round the greens, and given I have rarely had it (even on rounds I've broken par I've had about 28-30 putts) in the first place so I shouldnt really be surprised...<br />
    <br />
    I've had rounds where I have hit 15 greens in regulation and shot 6 or 7 over...>36 putts<br />
    <br />
    TR Jnr has a set of clubs so hope to get out a bit more over the summer and tech him how to play as he is keen to pretty much everything (doing kickboxing now since Rugby & League finished)

    went for a run tonight, single lap of my track...best was 27.04<br />
    <br />
    Pushed it on the uphill leg, hit my lap (if I was gonna go back up) 1min quicker than Saturday, 'sprint' finish for 26.00.36...while happy I beat my PB, gutted I didnt get under 26mins!!<br />
    <br />
    Quads and calves were burning going up, reckon there is another minute or so left in that uphill leg for me...until I improve DRASTICALLY (given I know a World Champion Triathlete can do it about 6-7 mins faster than me)<br />
    <br />
    Triceps still feeling it from yesterday, so will have to see with chest due tomorrow...<br />
    <br />
    Also got me a couple of big ol'truck tyres and a 4kg sledgehammer to add something to my circuits.

    First time since about June (when I went on holiday) I have weighed in under 94kg - 93.6kg this morning, been working hard the past 2 weeks on my weight so good to see things moving downwards finally after stagnating for a few months!
