Yes but are you getting fitter my dear? Remember the priorities
i did the oposite i bought a set of scales to find out how much I actually weight, and I weight 160kgs :( so no drinkies for me in novemeber :(
for the first time ever I didn't weigh myself when I started.....I measured myself though.....and I'm glad I didn't weigh myself.....I used to weigh myself on crap scales that fluctuated kilograms at a time and then i'd get all disheartened and quit. Not this time!
But as I think I've mentioned on here before, I've lost my appetite so finding it easy to stay on a healthy eating program -- and I'm still not eating breakfast which I know is REALLY bad but I'm just not hungry in the morning so don't want to eat and I'm losing weight soooo it's working and I'm just rolling with it!
WHAT? No drinks on tour? You're a fool! As if a few drinks on tour is going to make a difference.

I cycle between 10 and 50 miles a week depending on if i'm training or not.
Sometimes I run. depends on if i've entered a charity run or not and need to train also.
I swim once a week and try to eat healthy.
I've lost 92lbs in total now.
Not bad considering I used to eat over 4,000 cals a day and weigh over 20 stone

Only 40 days or so until the tour.....and I'm still not small enough to wear pants....well I am....but I'm not in my eyes. Damn chubby thighs! Nearly there though.....just need to step it up a bit for the next 4 weeks!

Congrats on your race.
I am taking a few days off.
Ran in the vibram's again, this time some road running mix with trails. Went really well.
Yesterday I decided to join my boys in playing with their stomp rocket (air propelled plastic toy), bad idea, jump to hard and back is sore. taking some time off.

Been at a wedding on the Gold Coast. Lots of surfing and beer drinking. Ran from Coolangatta one day around the headland and up past Kirra. Beautiful run and I went about 6km just by staring at the ocean....and that odd hot arse!!
Surfed with dolphins nearby and some whales breaching (sp?) about 150m away. Spectacular!!
Had a light workout yesterday. Fair bitta cable work and some back stuff. Still scared to go too intense but today Ill ramp it up a bit
good work zig.. what's with your appetite? do you eat brekkie?
No idea what's going on with my appetite....just don't have one anymore. No, I don't eat breakfast unless I actually wake up hungry. And I have a few rye cruskits with vegemite for lunch or maybe a wholemeal bread roll and then a healthy dinner. And I haven't had a drink for 10 days either.... That's probably a fucking record for me. I'm seeing how much more I lose if I don't drink so having a few weeks off drinking. My stomach has shrunk too....I can't eat anywhere near as much as I used to. At least it's going to be cheap to eat on tour now! haha
I eat like a machine. Order normal meals and Ill eat the other part you dont.
Me and a mate absolutely demolished a $140 seafood platter on the weekend. They said 'serves 5'
I don't need to eat much. I don't move! I sit on my arse all day and night.
Serves 5! haha Ohhh....if seafood is in front of me I'd force it down somehow! Mmmm.....I feel like some prawns right now....and crab....and oysters kilpatrick.... *drools*
Oh yeahhh!! I just went shopping quickly and saw these nice long dresses that tie up around your neck for $10 each! Tried a few on -- normally I was a size 12 (but even some 12s were getting a bit tight 2 months ago :? ) so I grabbed some 12s and they were too big -- looks like I'm now back down to a size TEN! So I bought three of them! haha I reckon I can pull off an EIGHT by tour time! Ohhhh fuck yeah! I'm obsessed! :shock: I need to work on my arms more...they're too flabby....might be time for some weights.
You need to work on your fitness woman not your looks :twisted:
Yeah yeah....plenty of time for fitness....haha The looks part is just more immediate and visible so it's more motivating! But I am really working on both....alright!?!?! :x
I havent been here for about a year but I have been working out. GOt the house of pain built in the extra garage stall. Leg Press, hack squat, power rack, dumbells. Just need to get some heat going. Awful hard to get the muscles to co-operate in the Wyoming winter, so I'll be picking up a heater this week. (it was 21 degrees F last week)
Bought a pait of Nike Air Max right before the Seattle shows. WELL WORTH THE $$$. ...but my damn knees still frickin ache.
Chest and Bi's yesterday.
One more item, my brother in law fron Utah is competing in a bodybuilding comp in the Gold Coast this week. Sorry for my ignorance as to where, I just know Australia is a long ways from here... :oops:

Took out the Vibram's again, getting the hang of how to run in them. Shorter stride=less stress on the calves, thus no tightness.
Sometimes I run. depends on if i've entered a charity run or not and need to train also.
