Fatbusting: Kirwan's log
-
Bit of a rubbish weekend as I was a bit sick, but still managed a 13km bike yesterday. Weight is at it's lowest point since I started, 79.5kg so half a kg to lose in five days <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> Nice small mini target before the trip.

Nicely on target at 79.3kg, racing towards the 8kg loss mark. Feel like death warmed up at the moment, don't think I hydrated properly yesterday.<br />
<br />
Just lost a day off my week, as I'll be travelling to Auckland on Friday for work. So three days to lose 0.3kg, as long as I keep the diet clean it should happen. -
Good work Kirwan. Looks like a massive change.<br />
<br />
I have been around 75kg for the last 10 years. Still reckon I am 5kgs overweight though.<br />
<br />
My saving grace is my lack of alcohol consumption, I reckon that makes a massive difference. -
[quote name='BartMan']spot on baron - booze is the one. I was never a heavy drinker, but over summer a couple of bottles a night (stubbies), soon adds up - many unwanted calories that just pack on around the waist![/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
I dunno, if you balance it out with not eating whilst out on the piss you can get the weight right down, after all in London I got to an all time high 108kg but then shrunk to 90kg by not eating whilst on the piss and forgetting breaky. ( I drunk quite a bit in those days to put it mildly but for whatever reason tended to avoid the late night curries/chips/pies that my mates were demolishing, maybe I wanted to keep the last few quid for another ale ) <br />
<br />
This is definitely not recommended in the slightest but perhaps an example that alcohol maybe isn't particularly bad for weight if you're not overeating. -
true, when you get pissed you eat shite - goes together like fish and chips. But the booze by itself is a huge empty calorie intake, the food is just topping it off - a couple of beers a night probably pushes you into taking in more than you spend calorie wise, unless you are in a very labour intensive job. Not like us here on the fern!!

Thanks, am looking forward to getting around there at some point before my birthday. Been in Chicago since Saturday and have been drinking every. single. day. The guy I'm staying with has beer for breakfast, lunch and a six pack for dinner. Happy that tonight was only a pint.<br />
<br />
Been too busy to overeat at least. And next week is the drinking section of the trip. The sound you can hear is my liver screaming. -
Sorted out overeating tonight (flash restaurant, on the company). Nightclubs tomorrow, New Orleans next week. Diet is fucked <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Eleven days of drinking beer and eating pizza and I put on 0.7 of a kg, pretty bloody happy with that. Helps that I was mostly working 10-12 hour days and didn't have time to eat a huge amount.<br />
<br />
Been years since I drank like that, and turning up to a conference at 8am to see 300 horrifically hungover people was very, very funny.<br />
<br />
Right, now off to get it back under 80 and head towards the 77kg goal. -
Running around after the kids for a week solid should keep you moving mate! Good effort to be under 80kg with all the travel/kai/booze in recent times. As long as you can get back into your routine asap you'll be sweet. I find I really miss the exercise when life etc gets in the way!
-
Right, all the travel is out of the way now so should be able to get back into a routine. Started with a 5km run today, the last two runs have both ended in minor injuries, so I have reduced the distance and pace, and I'm aiming to get ten of these under my belt before going back up.<br />
<br />
Bang on 80kg, so definitely time to start again. Mini-target is 78.9kg <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -

Crap week on the diet front saw an increase in weight, even with the resumption of exercise. So will be getting stricter on what I eat. <br />
<br />
The running is going great, three five km runs with no calf problems. Today was especially good, as I tentatively increased from my fat man shuffle to jogging pace with no issues. That knocked a minute and a half off my previous time, so makes a difference. Being able to trust the legs will mean I can get more out of the runs I do. <br />
<br />
Only other think to report is I've pushed through the lazy wall on the press ups, getting close to 60 a day now. <br />
<br />
Also, am booking in for the cross fit stuff this week to shake things up.
