    Had a team dinner at a local brewery last night... Well it's a glorified pub where they supposedly make their own beer. But the Pale Ale was nice, if a bit sweet. Barramundi was good too.<br />
    <br />
    5 km run this morning - 24:47 which was what I was aiming for is sub 5 minutes. Weigh in time! From last week<br />
    <br />
    [quote name='NTA' timestamp='1369435694' post='367762']92.2 kg - mostly due to last night's binge 🙂 <br />
    Chest 106<br />
    Waist 97<br />
    Hips 102[/quote]<br />
    <br />
    91.6 - quite happy after the beer and a can of Jim n Coke<br />
    Chest 107<br />
    Waist 96<br />
    Hips 102<br />
    <br />
    Now I'm noticing anther issue: stretch marks. Left over from the fat days, they're not the big angry red ones but the older, silvery type<br />
    <br />
    Anyone got suggestions?<br />

    Bad weekend for eating<br />
    <br />
    Back was sore after yesterday's working bee shit. Had a nap this afternoon and then, while watching the ODI, decided to crack out some push ups as the back felt better<br />
    <br />
    30, 25, 20, 15, 10 = 100.<br />
    <br />
    Then squats 25 x 2

    Karate tonight. What the fuck is it about Tuesdays that I never feel like going, but always feel great afterwards? I even left work an hour early!

    Run this morning - 5.04 in 26:33. Time nothing special but I wasn't feeling the most motivated. Walked another 2km home in 18:50.<br />
    <br />
    Hopped on the scales and was 92.0 even, so a bit of work to do in the next 24 hours to crack last week's 91.6. Lots of water, minimal anything else.<br />
    <br />
    Tomorrow will be halfway in the current cycle so if I get to 91, the result will look like something between 89 and 90 by the time I finish. Would like to get in under 89 and work on settling there before the next attempt come Spring.

    Run this morning before weigh in. After pizza last night I'm not confident of seeing any progress.<br />
    <br />
    7.02 km in 38:25 - kept it under 5:30 which is alright. Was aiming for road time, not speed.<br />

    Hips 102<br />
    <br />
    So this week I'll have to take it up a notch - more running for starters, along with incidental exercise like taking the stairs at work, removing the extra bits of sugar etc.<br />
    <br />
    Three weeks to get under 90.

    Oh long weekend, you are so awesome for my mind, but so bad for my body... Short week coming up - will have to hit it pretty hard after the days of relaxation and gastronomic excess. Worth every calorie
