50mm bar for my chin ups - just checking if it made a difference to the grip as I can't lock with my thumbs.<br />
<br />
It doesn't.<br />

The Tahs v Kings game was much better <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

Check your personal messages too Oz man. -
Despite the scratchy throat I went to karate tonight. Was alright too...<br />
<br />
Well ... except at one point when I made a comment while sensei was showing one of the green belts the usage of a particular move in one kata. It wasn't in any way a criticism, just thinking out loud about what sensei was saying from another point of view.<br />
<br />
The green belt came up to me at the next break and made some comment about "when [I] you're [/I] sensei you can give me tips OK?"<br />
<br />
Fair enough. Just trying to help but if you want to take it that way, I'm cool ... -
Been a shit week fitness wise. Illness has reduced the exercise to a walk at lunch time and eating has been slack as I try to recover and keep my energy up.<br />
<br />
Weighed in at 92.4 this morning, which is hardly surprising given the amount of oj I've been drinking. -
More cat vomits tonight to get that core right.<br />
<br />
Mrs TA's birthday tomorrow so will skip karate in favour of giving her "the present". <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> -

<br />
Started OK, died in the arse on endurance due to lack of exercise. Being sick is crap in more ways than one.<br /> -
New weight loss cycle starting today. <br />
<br />
Aim is simple: get below 90 kg and put myself in a position to stay there. Body fat percentage is probably a key thing here and I'm going to try and find a decent set of scales that measure it.<br />
<br />
Timeframe is 6 weeks - through to June 29.<br />
<br />
Today: 93.0 kg, Chest 105 cm, Waist 98 cm, Hips 103 cm.<br /> -
Walk this morning - it's too cold to run having just gotten over the hacky cough-cough bull shite I've just been experiencing. Covered 5 km in just under 41 minutes<br />
<br />
Think I'm going to need to start running at work - either lunch time or before heading home in the afternoon. At night or early morning it's just too fucking cold.<br />
<br />
I'll review that decision once my five fingers socks turn up<br /> -
Karate tonight. Felt really good actually. <br />
<br />
Diet has been good the last two days. The focus is removing all forms of priced sugar as a starting point - so back to first principles really. But I'm not such a carb Nazi this time around.<br />
<br />
Will go for a run at work tomorrow - start some stretching exercises as well to help the side kicks in karate which I'm very bad at -
Push up routine tonight in ten minutes while Chiefs v Crusaders is on.<br />
<br />
25, 16, 12, 12, 15, 10, 10, 10 - total 110.<br />
<br />
Seriously ordinary. Must have been the rum I had after work and the lack of condition in general...<br />
<br />
Minutes rest, then cat voms x 12 then some stretching. -
5 km run tonight in 25:40. Stuffed!<br />
<br />
Did pull ups when I got home (after a rest on the trampoline) with the usual one minute break:<br />
<br />
10, 7, 5, 5, 4<br />
4, 5, 4, 3, 3<br />
<br />
Took me to 10 minutes for 50 and finished with 25 push ups after a minute's rest
