No problem there - in the doghouse at the moment. Little Aussie pulled my bike on top of himself while out on the patio this morning. Words were exchanged, feelings were hurt - mostly because she gets shirty when he's upset. Somehow its all my fault despite him never pulling the bike down in my presence. :nta I dare not ask what was happening on the parental supervision side of things <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />

Mate it never pays to argue with a woman when it comes to 'their' child getting hurt.When he's naughty he's 'yours'..when hes hurt and upset(soon he'll learn to put on an act for more attention) then he's her little baby and it better not be due to anything remotely to do with you! -
Had a rest day today - I was really good with the eating including water throughout the day:<br />
<br />
3 weet bix with whole milk<br />
1 bowl nutrigrain with whole milk<br />
1 glass OJ<br />
<br />
1 Natural flavoured milk (99% fat free)<br />
1 berry yoghurt thing with grains and sultanas<br />
1 Crunchy Asian salad from Woolworths<br />
<br />
1 banana<br />
<br />
2 cups of tea in there (one sugar each)<br />
<br />
I wasn't that hungry until I got home and had two of Mrs TA's special toasted sandwiches - she uses pizza sauce, ham, grated cheese, and tomato. Farkin ace. -
Breakfast is usally 7-7.30. The second bracket of snacks was from about 10.30AM through to midday (salad at midday for lunch) with the banana around three I think.<br />
<br />
It was weird but I think the lack of carbs consumed for lunch actually dulled my appetite down a bit. I remember something similar when I went on a limited carb diet. Helps that I was a bit busier than usual today too... -
Did you have any meat with the salad? Aparently its one of those meals where you should restock your protein levels. (which also helps prevent feeling hungry)<br />
<br />
Im not really a salad person. Only having salad as a meal would probably kill me a little inside. -
No meat at all in fact :nta<br />
<br />
This salad is pre-packed at Coles or Woolies for about $5. Its mostly Chinese Cabbage, but comes with a packet of noodles, red onion, and dressing. Only about 6% fat all up (mostly the noodles). Mix it up and it tastes bloody bewdiful. -

The mrs has salad almost every night,i sumtimes do as well..to make it a bit more exciting chuck in some of those crunchy noodles,or sum fruit.Pine nuts roasted are great too,maybe even some chicken.....im with Mickster the thought of a boring ole salad by itself doesnt bear thinking about... -
Yeah when you hit the noodles it kicks you on - makes you want to keep digging through the green stuff to get to the next noodle <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /><br />
<br />
Bought some cheapo free weights when I was out today just for something different. Tonight I did a circuit of pushups, crunches, leg raises under my own steam and then shoulder press and some trapezoid punishment - sort of a deadlift combined with a trap lift. And boy are they hurting now! Three lots of that and I was buggered. I'm starting to feel the muscle tone though and with a bike ride tomorrow the first week will conclude well. Just hope the weather is OK. -
Ride tonight was 20km of my usual 26km route (i.e. turned around at 10km instead of 13km) due to time constraints. Clocked it in just under 48 mins which is my PB for this distance at exactly 25 km/h. My approach is now two-pronged:<br />
<br />- For rides of 20km, get the average speed up to 26km/h (i.e. do it in 46 minutes) and then increase from there as a "sprint" course<br />
- For rides of 25km+, get my average speed to 25km/h<br />
<br />
Protein shake and I'm off to bed!
-
More weights tonight followed by a protein shake and 1 litre of water. Man I was thirsty! I decided to do the weights at pace in order to up my heart rate and keep the old muscles guessing.<br />
<br />
Pushups x 10<br />
Crunches x 20<br />
Leg raises x 20<br />
Shoulder press (10kg per arm) x 20<br />
Deadlift (30kg) x 20<br />
<br />
Doing that three times around. The pushup count is very low because I'm just not strong enough yet, and sometimes I have to break at 5 because there is something up with my lower back. The deadlift is very light because of the back problem. Might go see a chiropractor... then buy some more weights to do serious deadlift. -

Your back doesnt sound good,mines always creaking and poping..what kind of set up do you have at home with weights etc? -

No exercise tonight as such. I might instead walk the 4km from the City to Moore Park as I'm going to TENACIOUS D tonight!!! Yes puny mortals, bow down in my totally rockin presence...<br />

<br />
Lol..Ah the Greatest rock band in the world..did you see the story of 2 young Christchurch kids who were basking and spotted by Jack Black? He asked them to open for Ten D the next night. -
No I missed that one, but sounds typical <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />

Weights tonight after two nights off due to other engagements. Felt good. Three lots of the below (reps noted):<br />
<br />
Pushups 10 / 10 / 10<br />
Crunches 30 / 30 / 30<br />
Leg raises 30 / 30 / 30<br />
Shoulder press 10kg per arm 30 / 20 / 20 <br />
Trap lifts 30kg 20 / 15 / 10<br />
<br />
Believe my back problems may just be due to condition and getting into the pushups too soon after I finish the previous set. I extended my break and it seemed to work.
