Let's try again...
-
Party food all weekend! Time to pay the bill.<br />
<br />
Something a little bit different tonight. Similar to a 20 minute pull up routine I did it with pushups instead. So go to failure and then 1 minute break<br />
<br />
32, 20, 10, 12, 10, <br />
10, 10, 9, 8, 8,<br />
9, 7, 7, 7, 8<br />
<br />
167 total. This fkn wrecks! Wanted to give up at 10 minutes... Twice a week ought to give some improvement... If the willpower is there to do it again!<br />
<br />
Think I'll toss the gym membership this week. It served its purpose and now just 50 dollars a month I don't need to spend with all this body weight exercise I am doing -
Karate last night, then once i got home cat voms x 12 plus meditation.<br />
<br />
Grading to orange belt this weekend - should pass but not so sure about the boy. With my knees a bit busted up from the bike fall I need to make sure I look after the legs going into Saturday. -

[/quote]Good effort pal, I'm stalling on the 100 push up program so in amongst the variations I am doing I might give something like that a go. -
Time to start a new weight loss cycle! Last one was disappointing due to illness and willpower but this time around I'm going to obsess a little less over it. It will be more like a big experiment in getting those last few kg off and setting how my body fat reacts. The goal is to head towards 85kg by my birthday (18 June - bit over 6 weeks).<br />
<br />
Previous cycle ended as below:<br />

92.8, Chest 107, Waist 96, Hips 102.<br />

<br />
Today: 90.6kg, Chest 106, Waist 96, Hips 101.<br />
<br />
So starting on a good base. -
Karate grading this morning - pretty good workout and I was so knackered by the time I did the grading kata that I didn't even think about it.<br />
<br />
So the boy and I are both orange belts now. Proud dad as I didn't know how he'd hold up at a full grading. -
Pull ups tonight using wrist straps to see if there is any difference - though I've been off the strength exercises for about a week so maybe not...<br />
<br />
11, 7, 6, 5, 5,<br />
5, 5, 5, 4, 5<br />
Chucked the straps at this point - just getting in the way of hooking on and off<br />
4, 4, 4, 4, 5,<br />
4, 3, 4<br />
<br />
Total 90. Not bad actually. -
Woke up about 5 this morning all hacky and snotty. Hope its temporary but just in case decided to "work from home" today.<br />
<br />
What's that you say, Foxtel guide? <br />
<br />
Tuesday is replay day for the weekend's Super Rugby games?<br />
<br />
Well, that [I] is [/I] a coincidence, but as you can see, I have this work to do. I couldn't possibly...<br />
<br />
Well, maybe just a few hours... -
50mm bar for my chin ups - just checking if it made a difference to the grip as I can't lock with my thumbs.<br />
<br />
It doesn't.<br />
<br />
The Tahs v Kings game was much better <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -

Check your personal messages too Oz man. -
Despite the scratchy throat I went to karate tonight. Was alright too...<br />
<br />
Well ... except at one point when I made a comment while sensei was showing one of the green belts the usage of a particular move in one kata. It wasn't in any way a criticism, just thinking out loud about what sensei was saying from another point of view.<br />
<br />
The green belt came up to me at the next break and made some comment about "when [I] you're [/I] sensei you can give me tips OK?"<br />
<br />
Fair enough. Just trying to help but if you want to take it that way, I'm cool ... -
Been a shit week fitness wise. Illness has reduced the exercise to a walk at lunch time and eating has been slack as I try to recover and keep my energy up.<br />
<br />
Weighed in at 92.4 this morning, which is hardly surprising given the amount of oj I've been drinking. -
More cat vomits tonight to get that core right.<br />
<br />
Mrs TA's birthday tomorrow so will skip karate in favour of giving her "the present". <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> -
Pull ups with 1 minute breaks:<br />
<br />
11, 7, 5, 4, 4,<br />
4, 4, 5, 4, 5,<br />
4, 4, 4, 4, 4,<br />
4, 4, started 30s breaks - 4, 4<br />
<br />
89 all up in 20 minutes. Minute break.<br />
30 pushups. Minute break.<br />
13 pushups. Minute break.<br />
12 pushups. 30s break<br />
3 pull ups in the time I had left to make 25 minutes.<br />
<br />
92 pull ups, 55 push ups.<br />
<br />
Started OK, died in the arse on endurance due to lack of exercise. Being sick is crap in more ways than one.<br />
