The A2K (virtual) Weight Loss Club !!

Noddy, you are so very kind. I'm just a thin fella trying to get out of this big fella who ate me !

Hey Dags looking good from here

Today I upped the weights, still doing 2 x 15 reps just increased the weights by 10 kilos on pecs, bench press and lats

30 mns on the bike covered 13.1 kms it said, felt more than that still you have to believe the machine, they don't lie do they ?

Am too busy catching up on my social life to go to the gym !!

G- nice to relax now and then - how are the teeth ?

No drooling, no bleeding, no pain killer, no antibiotics, just a bit of (bearable pain) and still some residual swelling....

I am doing great !

Sounds good, still on farleys rusks then ?

Nah. vodka tonics, chased by single malts

Went on a 7 day cruise round The Med, got back last Tuesday and brought back a bottle of Glenfiddich, almost all gone !

Hiama--

You inspired me to do my exercises, ride my bicycle and vigorously scour several plague spots in my domain.

You deserve your wee nip every now and again.

Hmm. Three day weekend, and I lose three pounds. I'm gonna publish my new "Ribs, slaw, corn, watermelon, and enough booze to drown yourself" diet for all.

chjsa, can't wait to see it.

Thanks Noddy.

Today's session was 20 mins weights and I was brave and tried my calf out on the Treadmill, 30 mins on random hills for 30 mins at a leisurely 6.1 mph-so far so good

I picked up a Nordic Trak for free yesterday. Neighbors are moving. I have no place to put it, so it's outside on the patio. Come rainy season I'll have to chuck it, but if I use it a few times, it's a great deal.

Sell it on Ebay. You'll get some shmuck to pay too much for it.

I! I! ME memememe! I would love to have one. But you would have to make it walk from Silicon Valley to Boston. I'll stick to jogging then. And sausages. LOVE the Atkins diet.

For the record, I will not report a loss this month. (If I had only passed up that third piece of pizza last night and the third quesadilla the night before that. )

Ok day off yesterday back to gym today session was as follows:-

20 mins weights
4 miles on treadmill in best so far of 32 mins 5 secs

The oull in my calf seems to be OK after a week or so rest from a fornight ago to last Thursday-I am increasing the speed by 0.1 mph each day until I can go no fatser, so its 7.6 mph tomorrow if I feel up for it

I'm exercising daily again. The week we actually had two days of sunshine--two days of walking weather. Sunshine is inspiring.

Because of my lapses, I lost no weight in May--but June is full of promise.

It is hot here. Windows open last night, sleeping under a sheet, still sweating. Top that with an all night serenade from a horny mockingbird, I mean this bird was doing horns, car alarms, cell phone ringers, not to mention about twenty other birds, friggin thing kept me up most of the night. About 3:00 AM I went out and tracked down his recording studio and threw some dirt clods at him. He came back about an hour later. Grrrrrr!

Anyway, if this keeps up I should burn alot of calories when I'm supposed to be sleeping, don't you think?

cjhsa- I certainly reckon your metabolism is working overtime - LOL

Noddy-Yes June has plenty of promise and with the nice weather less of an inclination to visit the cookie jar.

Yesterday's session was very good - the pull in my calf is Ok for the time being:

15 mins weights-reduced this a bit as did not want to become a Hulk
4 miles on treadmill in best so far of 31 mins 37 secs

I think the combination of weights strengthening my muscles and reduction of weight has improved my power/weight ratio and hence the increase in speed with no effort-let's see what today brings

Waist now down to 37.5 inches- weight 222 lbs

Bloody hell hiama !! U rock mate !!! Booked my session for Monday - so am looking fwd to it. Though I am going to the gym on Sat - but that is just for the sauna and spa - and maybe (if I get the booking) a nice full body massage to de-stress.....
