Nice - one thing that is good about packaged food is you can track everything very easily. Keeping that consumption total under 8000kJ is a lot easier that way. -

Or under 7000kj in my case! I've gone for the 40/30/40 carbs/fat/pro split. Seems to be working, hopefully I'm not losing too much lean tissue. -
Hardcore!<br />
<br />
Saw a fat burning diet from a paleo trainer that said you could do under 5500 a day. Going to give it a try when I'm trying to shift the last pockets of body fat. -

102.5kg this morning. Holy shit! That's the lightest I've been since about 1996. This cardio is paying off. A bit wary I maybe burning lean mass as well but the 40/30/30 fit pal plan is working a treat. I'm going to make sure I still lift decent tin twice a week and include a Kettlebell day between my mountain hike and the treadmill.<br />
<br />
My goal of weighing under 100 by Xmas now feels extremely realistic.<br />
<br />
<br /> -
I've found myself already thinking about when, where and how I'm going to train on Xmas Day and thinking about how many calories all the potential booze I may consume on National Man Cave Day may amount to.
-
We're having the wife's lot over for Xmas day and my plan is simple - get involved with the preparation. Nothing makes you feel like eating less than when you're up to your elbows in it.<br />
<br />
The other part of the plan is to keep her mother the hell away from food prep. Silly old moo thinks she's still catering for 50!<br />
<br />
But the odd wine and chocolate may pass my lips. -

<br />
Agree. RB I know you like deads and hang cleans. Try doing a 50 or 100 reps at one weight (start at something light and build up) for time. <br />
<br />
You will sweat the house down and your body will be on fire. <br />
<br />
Record the time and then a week later try beating the time. <br />
<br />
Over time you can then increase the weight a little and increase speed. <br />
<br />
I'd encourage you to try these bad boys out. -
100s for squats - 70 kilos, 8 or so minutes. Got to 70 or 80 odd before I had a pause. then it was in bunches of 5 through to the end IIRC. no doubt we'll get them again at some stage, murderous.
-
Not really but I do Kettlebell (45 min programne: 17 x 2 minute sets and bodyweight circuits plus tyres/sleds for higher reps at least twice a week.<br />
<br />
I'm actually enjoying bodyweight stuff more than tin at the moment.<br />

One beer and three 175 ml glasses of bubbly was my entire consumption yesterday! -
I drank roughly half of the attached 5 litre brain grenade, ate way too much, and am dreading what my digestive system is going to come up with today.<br />
<br />
But I'm still only 96kg thank fuck.<br /> -
27/12/12<br />
<br />
Treadmill 50 minutes followed by 10 minutes of stretching.<br />
<br />
Was 103.8kgs before running tonight. Desite the fact that I was 102.5 last Saturday I'm pretty bloody stoked. Means I got through the Xmas period with a weight gain of just 1.3 kegs! -
I got away with roughly the same weight gain although mine was mostly from chocolate over the 2 weeks preceding it. Had one beer all day after tea. With saying that the 121.7kg I weighed in tonight is a good 3-4 kgs over weight.
-
Friday 9:23am Weigh In 102.4kg. Normal transmission has resumed.<br />
Shows the difference between jumping on the scales first thing in the morning or late at night. The difference in my case is about 1.6kg. Also means I didn't put any weight on during Xmas which is startling. -
I weighed in at 93.5 this morning, so pretty happy given i drank probably what I'd do in a month and indulged in the sweet foods too on Xmas and Boxing Day and a meat feast on the BBQ last night!
