Fatbusting: MvJ's log (a blob's blog)
-
75.6kg, and steady, and that after breakfast. <br />
<br />
Am not fatbusting wildly, but I am off meat and I went for a big walk today. And I'm finding opportunities to walk lots of places (like to Aussie for a rugby meeting last week, and the same again is scheduled for this week). Amazing how those simple holding patterns (combined with a game each week of course) can stop me blobbing out. But sooner or later I'm going to get that last 3.8kg. -
Best ever gift from God: we play touch rugby at work once a week! So MvJ signed up today, headed along and strutted his stuff. Think I pulled every muscle in my arse, but I think I've finally got the missing piece in the training puzzle. I'll see how the weight goes over the next few weeks, then set a deadline for the magic 71.8kg, i.e. 10kg fat busted.

More touch at work today, in the hot sun. Plus they're planning another game for Thursday. Aaah... it's tough.

ye gods man.....what were your doing that was pulling muscles in your arse? -
Running fast. This time however I did the smart thing and got on the opposite team to our sexy young paralegal. MvJ got to touch a hot chick <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

<br />
and let me guess.....there were two-handed, front-on touches aplenty? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /><br />
<br />
Anyway, Miller, I still can't quite figure out how you were pulling muscles in your arse by running fast? Having done my fair share of sprinting, I can confidently say I've never pulled muscles in my arse. Hammies, quads, and calves....yes. But glutes?!<br />
<br />
Maybe as a referee, you're not accustomed to busting your arse? :whistle:

It may be a co-incidence but I cannot find my pogo stick.

you haven't, by any chance, had NtA around for a beer recently? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

That may explain it... <br />
<br />
Damn hard game of rugby today, in wet conditions, with the winning team running it from everywhere. Thought I dropped back for the kicks well (so easy not to) and was rewarded when there was a charge down leading to a try late in the game. That's the hardest I've had to run for a while.<br />
<br />
Bring on touch on Tuesday; the fat is effing dead! -
Decided to run off the tired feeling in the legs tonight. <br />
<br />
The good news: I survived.<br />
<br />
The bad news: My time of 18.53 was below my personal best of 16.15 by a shed load. <br />
<br />
The verdict: I'll take that as fatbusting records indicate I last did that run on 21 March 2006 (4 months ago!)Â <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> So at least I can build from there. It felt good. -
No touch today due to the weather which is shithouse. MvJ is now heading home to cook up a stir-fry using the Chinese cabbage he purchased last night because it was on special. Add the onion and garlic and we are looking at a very smelly cubicle at work tomorrow.
-
Possibly :happy: Actually it tasted great; I must have had the old Chinkie Cabbage 1,000 times whilst out, but have never cooked with it. This is akin to the time MvJ realised there were more types of lettuce out there than just iceberg (only a few years ago). <br />
<br />
I still can't stirfry chicken though without it tasting like cardboard. Any tips would be welcomed. That's the first time I've cooked with meat for three weeks (!), and it just had no taste. I don't know why I bothered. The mushrooms, cabbage, onion and even the spuds and other stuff had flavour and texture, but not the chicken. And it was the free-range, hand-reared, nothing but the best chicken and all. -
marinade chicken in a ginger/garlic/dark soy for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Then cook the chicken in the wok first until the pieces are golden brown on all sides. Remove chicken from the wok, add vegetables and then a minute before finishing add back chicken and juices. Should be fab (made for dinner last night)

Cheers DK, will try!

Massive night last night for MvJ's birthday. Happy birthday to me. MvJ consumed two hundred glasses of the House Red, a scotch and a pint combined with 17 bowls of wedges. Oops. <br />
<br />
This morning MvJ is trying to work out how the night ended. MvJ is also in the process of apologising for some inappropriate text messages he sent, the contents of which he cannot recall. <br />
<br />
MvJ is off to touch rugby in 34 minutes.
