35min walk to supermarket for healthy food (willpower fading around bakery section but had to fight back and move to fruit area)<br />

Yes, that is a shit; head's up to Red Beard for posting the [url="http://www.bodyforlife.com"]www.bodyforlife.com[/url] link which contained a good tip-- shop once a week on Sunday. That obviously means you've got time to plan healthy meals and aren't ducking into the temptation of the supermarket 4 times a week. <br />

I did BodyforLife 6 years ago during the offseason rugby. I went from 114kg to 103kg in 8 weeks and 4 weeks into the season was down to 100kg. I was way too light for playing in the backrow though..I remember actually getting bumped off by a first five!! -
Hardest part at the moment is motivation to go out for a run at nights when I get in from work. It's farken freezing and dark at 6pm and after spending half an hour putting on thermals and stretching up I make my move. <br />
<br />
Eating healthy has been going sweet as Mrs Paj has been cooking vegetarian meals (tastes better than they sound) and now having home made soup for lunch.<br />
<br />
The 2 litres of water is becoming easier as well and the worn carpet from my desk to the loo isn't getting as much of a hammering as a few months ago. -
Now looking at a gym as the lovely HB weather has been shit for going out at night for a run, so Mrs Paj and I today are going around looking at gyms and would prefer something with a swimming pool as part of the cost to join.<br />
<br />
Slowly losing weight, but biggest problem is the booze. -
Have now bought a flash juicer and am loving it. Never in my wildest dreams realise carrot/ginger/beatroot juice would be tasty. Was down at the Farmers Market a couple of sundays ago and Taine Randles parents have a stall which does juices there and Taine was helping his Dad out so Mrs Paj and I stopped off for a "Liver Buster" Bloody beautiful, so since then been on the lookout for a good juicer. Have been expirementing with it last few nights and find it weird how much juice comes out of a single carrot.

We're still talking about the juicer right? <br />
<br />
Or is that what you call it these days ... -
Since my last post things have changed dramatically, have changed jobs and am now back farming.<br />
<br />
So, started new job 2 weeks ago and weighed myself of cattle scales on first day and around 115kg mark. <br />
<br />
Last two weeks have involved the following...<br />
<br />
Walking massive hills because I'm a chicken shit on 4 wheeler<br />
Drenching mob of 1700 ewes<br />
Vacinating 4900 ewes<br />
Killing 4 dog tuckers and 1 mutton<br />
Planting 100 poplar pole (trees)<br />
Walking while mustering<br />
Moving bulls on crop, fighting with new electric fence through crop, farken knackering.<br />
Loading 32 wool bales to truck<br />
Fencing<br />
Walking, walking walking<br />
Chasing bearing ewes around paddocks<br />
Chasing working dogs that fark up<br />
<br />
So, weighed mob of bulls today and jumped on scales and now 112kgs, trousers falling off and up two notches on belt.<br />
<br />
Bad side of it all..... first week was in bed by 8pm, absolutely stuffed at the end of every day and sweating massively then stopping and being bloody cold in the wind. -

Surely you've got a shearer's singlet on? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> Always helped me on those shitty winter school holiday mornings when Dad decided it would be a good idea to make a start on the next 5km of fencing he was planning <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /><br />

BTW I'm kind of jealous actually - sure the work can be shit (and nothing is shittier than shearing sheds on a hot summer's day in Oz) but the physical activity will stand you in good stead. You'll be 10 times the prop you were at the last job <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /> -

Got a young dog I'm breaking in which I haven't down for 15 odd years and fark they can test your patience and turn a good day into a bad one, but he's crazy first thing in the morning then after a day running behind the 4 wheeler he calms down :happy: Not going to win any dog trials yet! -

Got a Swazi shirt on which is fantastic, but still feel the wetness of sweat when it blows!<br />
<br />
It is very rewording NTA, funny how I was dreading the crutching but as the sweat run off nose and the music pumping in woolshed and the boss is next to me and we slowly starting to get compeditive and racing each other it was bloody great fun.... -
Todays effort...<br />
<br />
Moved Bulls on crop.<br />
Easy morning, BMR called in with some treats for lunch!<br />
<br />
After lunch planted 5 willow pole's then spent 3hrs hand-pruning trees, a job which I though was cruisy turns out to be a massive work out and now shattered. -

Yeah all good stuff. My Dad thought his shearing days were over and then once he got into using the sling he said it was the best thing ever invented.<br />
<br />
Know what you mean about the dog - we had a really old mutt who came with the farm when Dad bought it. By the time she hit 15 the hearing and eyesight wasn't so good. Dad eventually got pissed off with her stuffing around, and drove home (3km) to get lunch. Half an hour later he walks back out to the truck and there she is bringing them in to the yard. Did everything but latch the gate! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /><br />
<br />
Pruning sucks arse. Jeez you feel it in the wrists the next day, but your grip will be spectacular for tackling <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> -
Yesterday (Monday)<br />
<br />
Exercise for day-Fencing. Hands gone soft, bled like a stuck pig for most of the day. Would have been even more exercise if we didn't have a post rammer on back of tractor :happy:<br />
<br />
Too dam stuffed at end of the day to do anything yet, want to start running up hill behind house and timing it to get faster and faster, think that isn't going to happen for a few months until body fit for work.
