Fatbastarding: NTA log
-
Hope not. its contract work and the guys I'm working with know about the family situation. Thing is with daylight saving fucking up the after-work fatbusting that was already out the door, so now I'm going to have to switch to getting up at 6AM and going for a run around the oval, with the odd night time 20km bike ride to compensate, and then do a bit more on the weekends.<br />

not in Brisbane it doesn't. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> But yeah, reduced daylight is an impediment I know, but I actually enjoy winter....the rums are very tasty on a chilly night around the bushfire watching mates spew. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

Is cycling at night not an option? Or running even? -
Night cycling is an option but will be farking cold. Been a while since I got on the thing but its getting repaired this weekend so will be back into it. Got to spend some time each day with Little Aussie and he doesn't go to bed until about 9PM. A 9-10PM ride when the air temp is in single figures is an unpleasant experience so I'll be in the trakky-daks which is not a classy move considering teh size of my arse <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Jesus mate, what is it with you bloody Sydneysiders being so obsessed with your appearance? Just get out there....at least the young punks will be steering clear of the barge-arse on wheels. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -

Funny thing is running to the station yesterday with my sunnies on I scared hell out of quite a few people <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Some actually leaped away to get out of my path... -
Turn the winter into an advantage (like it's farking cold in Brissie anyway!), use it to pyche yourself up (like "I'm out here, lazy pricks aren't" virtual pat on the back stuff).<br />
<br />
Can't recommend working out in the morning enough, is making a big difference to me. Energy levels are high for the whole day. -
Planning on giving it a go K. But fuck its hard with a 2yo running around the joint and often waking up all hours. Little bugger is due for another growth spurt I reckon.<br />
<br />
But the sun is getting p earlier and the oval is a 2 minute jog so will try to cane my fat arse into shape.... -
Well, as I have this week off and today especially, I decided to hop on the newly-repaired bike and go for a 20km ride this morning - the first one since 24th February (i.e. nearly 7 weeks). I have demonstrated ably the following:<br />
<br />- Riding during the day sucks compared to riding at night<br />
- I'm back to square 1 in terms of leg strength and aerobic fitness - I had to stop on a particular winding incline for the first time ever and walk about half of it. Really shitty with myself for giving up on that.<br />
- I clocked about 63 minutes - 8 minutes behind my PB.<br />
<br />
The good news is although I haven't been doing a stack of exercise during the last month or so I'm still holding my weight of 113kg through sensible eating. Now its the perfect time to get back into the exercise fulltime and cane another 7kg off my sorry carcass. 110 here I come!
-
Was getting ready to head to the oval yesterday for a bit of a jog and kicking practice when I noticed my foot hurting quite a bit. On closer inspection I noticed my right heel has cracked in about three places - anyone got miracle cures for this? I guess going barefoot or thongs during summer has resulted in it. Mrs the Aussie suggested this heavy duty lanolin cream she has but any tips would be appreciated.

<br />
My real concern is infection - they've been watering the ovals around here to get them ready for winter chill so the ground's a bit mushy. -
OK, exercise in the last week:<br />
<br />
Walking to the station each morning now as have to leave earlier for work in the new job. 1km each way as I also walk home.<br />
<br />
Went for a run around the oval to keep breaking the new boots in.<br />
<br />
Went for a swim the other night and 25 minutes of laps (I got through about 15-20 laps I guess) for almost 500m of swimming. Back and shoulders sore as the next day. -
Went for a run around the oval Sunday and place kicking practice while I break in these new boots - they're getting there and my heels are getting harder so they'll meet in the middle. This week also featured running around after Little Aussie downt the park with my brother and parents. All good fun.<br />
<br />
Original weight: 118kg (120 at the start of the year)<br />
Current weight: 112kg<br />
Measurements<br />
Chest: 123cm (have put a bit on here? :-k original 120)<br />
Gut: 115cm (down from original 117cm)<br />
Butt: 122cm (down from original 125cm)<br />
<br />
So nothing major there but enough to keep me going.<br />
<br />
New job and the onset of winter hasn't allowed quite enough time to work out as I'd like - its hard when you only get a couple of hours a day "quality time" with Little Aussie and by the time he goes to bed its after 9.30 at night. Will have to start the running/swimming at lunch time, given that all the local gyms charge through the fucking roof for membership. The place in the Sydney Hilton is $120 a month! And that is WITH the corporate discount!!!!! :tickedoff: -
Went for a 20km ride Sunday morning with a mate. Wasn't pushing it too hard but found the pedalling really hard. Halfway into the ride I found out why - nothing to do with the headwind pushing against my ample frame, but instead a spoke snapped somewhere along the way and as a result the rear wheel had buckled a bit and was rubbing against the brakes. After releasing the rear brakes completely the pedalling was easier, but the downhill slightly scary :shifty:<br />
<br />
Besides that the odd bit of of a jog down the oval and occasional other exercise though I've been bloody lazy all things considered. Down to 111.5kg according to the scales at home but that may be in error - still its 8.5kg off since the start of the year and even with lack of exercise I'm finding it easy to keep off so yay me. -
Exercise this week has so far included some press ups, walking, Mrs the Aussie, and a 15km ride yesterday followed by a night at the Austrian Schnitzelhaus in Gladesville. All that good work destroyed with 1.5 litres of Erdinger Kristal and while the meal itself wasn't that bad, a LOT of potatoes had NTA feeling a bit tight around the gut. Weight was up a bit this morning but I have had a massive dump since so figure it evens out.

oh super, thanks for sharing that Nick.....really makes my last handfull of M&M's before footy enjoyable. :sealedlips: <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /> -
Speaking of peanuts, did you want a blow-by-blow of my battle with this super soft-serve or what? <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />
But thanks for the very kind offer.
