Let's try again...
-
Super slow pull ups tonight. From full hang, take about two seconds to get chin to bar level, then two seconds down. One second hang, repeat.<br />
<br />
Tough! Grip is the hard bit over the 50mm pipe. Went for ten minutes<br />
<br />
4, 4, 3, 3, 2<br />
3, 2, 2, 2<br />
<br />
Total 25. They are so much tougher than going flat out. More burn I suppose, especially on the descent.<br />
<br />
Next time I might change to explode on the way up and resist only on the way down, with the hang at the bottom<br />
<br />

doing slow with full hang over the WInter is a good idea-to do higher numbers you need to be able to hang there without any discomfort for as long as possible-the actual pull up isn't too hard, it's the fatigue from the supporting your weight. I can do 15 slow (not quite as slow as you) with more than 2 second hang.

Was going to go for a run this morning but slept in instead.<br />

Treat meal today will be lunch before going to see Horrible Histories on stage at The Opera House with the kids. Great TV show. Hopefully they can do it justice.<br />
<br />
Need to control the beers at the pre-Test match dinner tonight and then launch into next week.<br />

Turns out I didn't end up drinking at the rugby. Mainly because they have crap available and I didn't get any sort of sit down meal.<br />
<br />
Run today - 5.02 km in 26:09.<br />
<br />
I always rug up too much in this weather. Must be feeling it more now I'm a skinnier version myself...<br />

Think I have some sort of intestinal upset as I'm getting tired really quickly. Last time I felt like this, the chiropractor said it was gut related - not absorbing nutrients or some such, so I'm hitting the probiotics to clean it out<br />

94.4!!!!!<br />
<br />
Look, I guess I haven't been totally honest with everyone - the eating is a problem, and I need fix it. Also need to get back into regular road work. First thing in the morning, no excuses.<br />
<br />
So walked 5.04km this morning in 42:27 followed by a 5.02 km run in 29:33<br />
<br />
Pace was well down as my legs were sore as fuck from squats and lunes the other night, and I was fighting the urge to nard.<br />
<br />

Controlled the intake yesterday and did minimal exercise - was 92.7 this morning which is back towards normal. Legs are feeling better and I've scammed work from home for the next 4 Tuesdays, so I'm going for a run in the morning! Will do some body weight stuff tonight when I get home, but no squats or lunges!
-
Ran 7 km in 39:24 this morning. Was about 2°C when I started but had warmed up to 4°C by the time I finished... Not so bad once you get going, and I think I need to stop thinking about pace and just keep covering the km on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
Weight post run back down to 91.7 kg so heading in the right direction after turning the eating around the last couple of days.<br />
<br />
But my appointment for the chiro was cancelled so have to deal with the bowel issue on my lonesome until I can reschedule ...<br />

It was a little OTT but I can honestly say I've done worse. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Saturday was like one of my old treat days - anything goes. Thai dinner followed by ice cream didn't help.<br />
<br />
The main issue I've found with my digestive system in the last two years of weight loss is that too much sugar at once stuffs everything up - literally!<br />
<br />
A lot of the weight gain was due to the mini binge I went on a couple of Thursdays ago - three Scotch and coke mixers, big dinner + dessert + chocolate. After that, things weren't "moving" if you catch my drift.<br />
<br />
That state of affairs persists until I smash a load of probiotics, go back to strictly basic unprocessed food, and go running to jiggle things around down there and flush it out.<br />
<br />
If you look at my weigh in a couple of weeks back, I was 91.7 - so it wasn't permanent weight gain, just bloat.<br />
<br />
I am regularly accused of being full of it, but this time I really was!<br />
<br />

Karate tonight. Felt good though it wasn't exactly intense because of a number of new white belts. <br />
<br />
Good thing it's a mood breaker - was grumpy beforehand as I'm working from home on Tuesdays and Mrs TA lined up a bunch of shit for me to do (washing, shopping, dinner prep). Then she only rocks in at six expecting me to have it all ready, when karate was at 7 and I'd actually been working up to 5.30.<br />
<br />
I thought she'd be home by 5 to help out but I got over it. Communication is the cornerstone of a happy marriage.... I think...<br />

Big dinner last night. Sucker for a BBQ.<br />
<br />
Went for a run this morning 10.02 km in 56:05<br />
<br />
Was going to turn off and take the shorter route at one point but it becomes a big juicy downhill at that point so I soldiered on.<br />
<br />
Best km was 5:03 (the first one). Worst was 6:10 (7th). I'm actually enjoying this take-it-easy approach. Still burns, but didn't exhaust.<br />
<br />

Weigh in this morning<br />
<br />
92.5 kg, Chest 107, Waist 98, Hips 103.<br />
<br />
Still a bit bloated, but that should subside this week and I'm expecting serious results next week.<br />
<br />

Decided to have a crack at the distance of the City2Surf run here in Sydney. It's on my bucket list and I've run 11 km before so figured it couldn't be that hard<br />
<br />
14.12 km in 1:22:13<br />
<br />
Going at about 5:49 per km which is under 6:00. Therefore a win.<br />
<br />
However, the actual C2S circuit apparently has a big fuckoff hill halfway through which I can't replicate in my part of suburbia.<br />
<br />
It's on in two weeks. Maybe I should enter to tick it off the list?<br />
<br />

Last night did cat vomits and then 50 pushups in 25, 15, 10 with 60 second rests. Man that actually sucked quite a bit - my power output is awful while I'm recovering from this gut thing. But its getting better.<br />
<br />
Walked the kids to school this morning - 1.63km in 19:02 which included a LOT of stops (the GPS auto-stops when you're stationary).<br />
<br />
Then ran 3.02km in 15:53 to go to the shops, and walked home 2.04km in 19:20 carrying a few kg of groceries.
