Right I'm playing catch-up.<br />
<br />
Weight this morning 96kgs. Target 93kgs.<br />
<br />

<br />
Breakfast 1 (6am) - glass milk, 3 garabaldi breakfast cookies (c.180 kcals for cookies)<br />

Dinner 2 (9.30 pm) - 3 eggs, scrambled, 2 garabaldi cookies, glass of milk<br />
<br />
Exercise - 1 hour weights in the gym at 8pm. No cardio - I refuse to cardio at night. -
Day 2<br />
<br />
96.1 kgs this morning<br />
<br />
Breakfast 1 (6.30) - milk and 3 garabaldis (100 kclas & 180 kcals)<br />
Breakfast 2 (10 am) - brown bread roll, with the now inevitable spreadable cheese, & 2 cups of black tea (? 150 kcals I'm guessing)<br />
<br />
(Proposed 50km bike ride tomorrow will be postponed due to freezing temps and bitterly cold northerly wind)<br />
<br />
Lunch 1 (1 pm) 3 ubiquitous garabaldi biscuits, black tea (180 kcals)<br />
Lunch 2 (4 pm) 3 ryvita, spreadable (mystery) cheese, black tea (150 kcals)<br />
<br />
On the weighbridge at 6.15pm - 95.2 kgs (surely just system getting cleaned out)<br />
<br />
Dinner (6.30 pm) green-pea soup, extra peas & carrots (c.350 kcals - but a huge bowl of food, feel full as)<br />
<br />
The prospect of a weights session after the Calcutta Cup looms......<br />
<br />
Dinner 2 (8.30 pm) - milk and 3 garabaldis (100 kclas & 180 kcals)<br />
<br />
45 mins weights<br />
<br />
Total kcals - 1400 kcals. -
Okay. Recommended daily intake - 2500 kcals.<br />
<br />
You need to burn 7000 kcals in a week to lose 1 kilo.<br />
<br />
So: drop food intake to 1500 for 7 days - a kilo goes. And any exercise on top of that will burn even more kcals / kilos.<br />
<br />
Eating six times a day - with 'bulky / fibrous' foods - I have hardly been hungry all day. And had the energy to do an intensive weights system in the evening. This works - I got down from 100 to 96 in 5 weeks in Jan / Feb on this model (granted, eating crap on weekends and doing cardio most mornings). No alcohol.<br />
<br />
I'll keep this regime up for 28 days and see where we end up.<br />
<br />
Oh yes - taking a 'all-in-one' vitamin tablet every morning -
This just makes me hurting reading this. You must be the most disciplined guy on the Fern.

I take it you don't work in an office... If I had that for dinner, the next day I'd be pretty unpopular -
Day 6<br />
<br />
94.2 kgs on the weighbridge.<br />
<br />
Have failed to mention that I cycle to-and-from work ever day. Even in the snow (this morning). Adds in 20 mins excercise I suppose, but it is just scooting along at an easy pace, hardly counts.<br />
<br />
Drank a lot of milk yesterday. Worked out that on this regime drinking sugar-free diet Fanta when hungry gives me a headache within 10 minutes. No kidding. All that chemical crap messing with your brain.<br />

The effects of only weights and no cardio in 2 days? No weight loss for the first time. But upped my free weights by 7% last night. Same reps and no strains this morning<br />
<br />

<br />
Breakfast 2 (11am) - 3 ryvita, spreadable (mystery) cheese (150 kcals). No coffee - it gives me the jitters and I shotgun-emailed people to death yesterday!!! oops <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> <br />
Lunch 1 (1 pm) - 3 ryvita, spreadable (mystery) cheese (150 kcals).<br />
Lunch 2 (3.40 pm) - 3 ryvita. am starving but no more cheese in office. I 'look forward' to relating the joys of this gastronomic experience. Tasted suprisingly edible...<br />
<br />
Forgive me fellow Fatbusters! For I have sinned. 2 beers with a mate after work. Felt like 10 pints. Honestly. Pissed as a fart I was / am. No joke. No drink for a month, 3 ryvitas in the belly and 2 beers (halves!!!) and I was half-cut.<br />
<br />
Dinner 1 - (6.30 pm) - milk and garabaldis (280 kcals) Slowly sobering up.....<br />
Dinner 2 - (8.30 pm) - potatoes and salmon<br />
Dinner 3 - more milk and garabaldis -
Day 8<br />
<br />
94.1 kgs on the weighbridge, despite the return last night to the traditional diet of my nation - potatoes and alcohol. I have noticed the past 2 days I'm getting light-headed now and again. Reckon I will start to eat a bit more.<br />
<br />

<br />

Dare not put meself on the weighbridge tomorrow.... -
Due to the pressures and stresses of work and more IR has not really done any fat-busting since Day 8.<br />
<br />
It is now Day 12.<br />
<br />
94.7 kgs on the weighbridge<br />
<br />
Eating healthy (regime as outlined above) but no exercise just now. <br />
<br />
Bugger. Went to the pizza slice shop for lunch. Haven't done that in the past 7 years. I'm not sure if that means I had seven years of remarkably good behaviour with one relapse (today) or a sign of a total breakdown in self control.<br />
<br />
I trust painting a ceiling will burn off some of the meat-substitute topping on what was classified as a 'tandoori' pizza slice. -

Exercise should be your release from stress :neutral: But NTA knows what you mean, having done the 14 hour days thing for weeks at a time. -

<br />
Aye. It is great for that.<br />
<br />
When you ain't even getting enough time to sleep then there is dang all chance of working out.<br />
<br />
Saturday will be a 14 hour day. Stress-release though. I'll be up to me oxters is silage and all sorts. Mate in Ireland has 400 ewes lambing and 40 cows calving. I have been booked to fork silage, lamb sheep and de-horn calves. Will be great!!!!<br />
<br />
Yes - I a f**king wasted on an office-job.... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> <br />
<br />
Lunch today - super noodles x 2<br />
<br />
Hope to enjoy spuds and salmon for tea.<br />
<br />
And exercise will be more painting of ceilings..... -

<br />
Funny thing is on our dustbowl farm we never assisted the sheep with lambing - merinos usually pretty good at it themselves, and then you've got 1000-1200 at a time going for it over a few hundred acres its a futile process. Don't think we ever lost a single ewe overall, but a few lambs here and there.<br />
<br />
When the wool market went to shit we moved into meat sheep, and that meant leaving the last of the Merino rams out to pasture while we brought in the motherfuckers of the sheep world - Suffolks. We had two of them go through about 400 ewes over a couple of days, and then once they'd finished up there one of them broke into next door and in the course of [u]one night[/u] did about 50 of the neighbour's merino ewes :shifty: neighbour saw the funny side fortunately, and had a lamb roast every night for a couple of months thereafter <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
I decided, based on his performance with the females, to name that ram Conan <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Nick - these are mostly purebred Texels. So its big shoulders and backsides of lambs and hard work getting 1.85 per ewe. Very labour intensive.<br />
<br />
Regarding your Suffolks. As a neighbour said to me as a young fella:<br />
<br />
"thon ole ram can buck away all he likes, but he's not doin the job. After number 20 he's just shootin' water"<br />
<br />
In retrospect I reckon - fair dues. "thon ole ram" got to 19 before he started "shootin' water"Â :nta<br />
<br />
Apologies to the non-farming posters and lurkers for this terribly agricultural discussion of ovine fornication.... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -

Well Conan must have been on the juice or something - 50 little motley buggers and only one Suffolk ram within quim's odour <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
