Fatties: Red Bull log
-
I have a cold shower after I exercise, but only then after waiting some time for the sweating to stop. Obviously the longer I can parade around the house naked the better as far as MvJ is concerned. <br />
<br />
There is nothing worse than exercising, having a long cold shower, drying off and still sweating. Yuck, yuck, yuck. -
well Miller, count yourself lucky you don't live in the warmer, humid climes of Queensland then. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
I have that problem after every exercise session I do in summer, even when I wait for half an hour before having the cold shower...but I am a pretty sweaty person :shifty: -

oh shit, come on Emma, it's not nearly as offensive as a particular TSF poster, turned fastbusting moderator telling us he's going home to masturbate himself almost to death. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Judging from my press-up abilities ascertained tonight, I need wrist and elbow strength. Which means more of that, and some heavy elbow bending at the pub as well...

tennis last night which went for 1 and a half hours. Was good to have a run around, but my form was as shit as a shit burger wrapped in 2 big pieces of shit, with plenty of woeful shots played, and lots of explosive and volatile tantrums from me. One blowup even saw my racquet accidentally fly out of the court, over the fence, and onto the top of the enclosed cricket nets adjoining the tennis courts. It was a hell of a job retrieving the fucking thing, and this caused another Red Bull tantrum when I had to climb up onto the cricket nets to get it. A tough job because I'm surely not a monkey.<br />
<br />
I was, however, happy with my speed around around the court, which might be a product of all that fast-twitch fibre training. :nta -
Bit of a grumpy possum on the court eh? You need a contact sport <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

<br />
another sprint session last night, cruised down to the park, did 2 sets of the 22/50/22/100 routine, with 20 pushups/20 crunches after each set, then did 2 sets of jog 22m, sprint 22 m, jog 22m, sprint 22m. Polished it off with another set of 20 pushus/20 crunches, then trundled home a little the worse for wear. Total duration of the session was just under 40 minutes.<br />
<br />
As a side issue: my mother tells me I'm looking considerably fitter than a month or so ago, and I haven't pulled out the measuring tape to confirm or deny any improvements.<br />
<br />
All my good work this week is likely to be undone at a wedding I have to attend in northern NSW, especially as it's a day-time thing which normally requires copious amounts of beer to be consumed. :nta -

weekly game of footy last night, which went for 1 hr and 15 minutes. I got myself more heavily involved than usual, and my fitness and pace were more at the level I'd expect them to be after all my darstardly sprint training. It was bloody good fun, and I even managed to jag a few tries.<br />
<br />
A couple of decision-making errors though on my behalf, so I'll wrestle with my own demons for the next week until I have a chance to rectify the issues. -

Went yourself with a three man overlap outside you? Ah the joys of touch <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
That dastardedly sprint training must indeed be paying off Red Bull. You have certainly been getting into it. :happy: -

ha...nah MvJ, it was more just situations where I had to beat the cover and I cut inside instead of employing the 'in-and-away' manouvre that's served me well in the past. Also a scenario where our dummy half took off up the middle and as I accelerated to assist him, an opposition player grabbed the back of my shirt and held me back....the decision I [b]should[/b] have made was to clout the fucker in the head. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

<br />
Decided last night that my slightly tender knee needed a rest, so just did a mammoth session of pushups, crunches, and chin ups insyead of my usual sprints. Did 5 sets of 20 pushups, 5 sets of 20 crunches, and 2 sets of 5 chinups (very weak in this area). There was 15 seconds break between each set. My upper body is quite sore this morning.<br />
<br />
Tennis tonight, so I'll really try not to have any tantrums, because I always play better if I don't think about the score, and just focus on middling the ball.<br />

Hour and a half of tennis last night. Good to have the run. My second serve was fucking appalling, and my stats probably pointed to about 50% 2nd serves in. The artificial grass with a coat of sand is possibly the most abrasive surface known to man, and is very effective at removing skin from knees, as I again painfully found out. -

<br />
went for another sprint session last night, same jog down to the park, but this time [b]4[/b] sets of my 22-50-22-100 routine with 20 pushups and 20 crunches in between each set, meaning that I'm slowly building up.<br />
<br />
And in a fucking fantastic piece of news: jumped on the scales this morning for the first time in a couple of weeks, and have gone down to 95.5 kg (edit: when I began my regime, I was hovering at about 100-101kg). I'm bloody happy with that loss. So clearly my routine of eating bugger-all fat and sugar, and busting a gut on the sprints etc is doing some good. I haven't been this trim since I endured a bungled appendix removal procedure 5 years ago and was refused all foodstuffs for 10 days. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -

is this something you Sydneysiders get into around Mardi Gra time Nick?<br />
<br />
I've never heard of a 'colon blow', and I don't really like the sound of it to be honest. -
It isn't much fun - basically its a prep formula they give you before a colonoscopy i.e. when they're checking your colon for cancerous growths. NTA has had one of these and the camera work happens under anaesthetic. Its the ground work that is the killer - don't eat the day before, and then before you go to sleep mix up this powder into 3 litres of water and drink it all within an hour. Then spend the next 3 hours on the toilet regretting every single mL you ingested
<br />
<br />
I had to do this on the day before, and the procedure wasn't due until 3PM the next day so I basically didn't eat for 48 hours! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
Jaysus mate! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> That sounds truly horrific. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Fortunately, I didn't have to go through that with my appendix operation, though when they were diagnosing the source of my abdominal pain, I had the misfortune and immense discomfort of getting probing fingers up the.....well, enough said there.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the point is, I'm very happy, nay....elated, to be under 96 kgs. :happy:
