The A2K (virtual) Weight Loss Club !!

Texas dance styles is very nearly the most, um, uninteresting video I've ever seen. That fact alone gives it a high entertainment factor.

Not much exercise in it except for the two-three fast hops to turn the video off asap.

That and the abs work-out from laughing so hard.

Oh I knew that !! It is just that a part of my charm is to deflect any charm thrown my way by a charming lady towards another charming lady who deserves this charm more than I do !! <did I make sense ??>

Soz, I joined afuzz in 2000 and u were there remember ??

Anyways,

Captain's log Stardate April 1 2003 - I finally managed to overcome the biggest hurdle of dragging my fat ass to the gym rather than to my friendly neighbourhood bar. And boy it was crowded - I had to wait for a parking slot, and then in the gym wait for every machine to get free and after my workout, there was a queue for the showers !!!

But 20 mins on cycling machine, 15 mins on elliptical trainer had me gasping (that is what happens when u neglect the gym for too long) I wasnt tired, but I had to slow down to keep my heart rate to acceptable levels (and no, it was not due to the oh so gorgeous new personal trainer). Did some weights and had a low fat dinner (rice, okra and potatoes and no booze) - but slept well after a long long time

Back to the gym today again.

Was chatting to a friend of mine abt this prize - and she says that since I am giving the prize, it would be better that I let an *independant* third person be the judge of the deserving canditate. So any ideas anyone who should be appointed as the judge ?? I am thinking Phoneix ??

good for you gautam, the first and usually the hardest step is actually getting in the gym and doing something. i have a gym right across the street from my office, so i don't have to worry about parking, just manical drivers.

regarding afuzz, i don't remember you or soz.

Well done gautam, just going to my forst session now, will report back in a couple of hours

Pueo, we were after your glory days, I believe; you were alluded to but weren't there much.

Yay Gautam for the gym biz! Yay Gautam's personal trainer for being oh-so-gorgeous and therefore a motivating factor. (Right?)

No

Oh.

I have decided to stop leching at men - I have decided to become a hermit

Report to hermit and virtual gym buddy on first session proper :-

5 minute drive to gym
5 minute warm up on stationary bike
20 minutes on machines working on arms, shoulders, abs and legs
20 minutes on concept 2 rower-very tough aerobic and some anaerobic work
5 minute warm down
5 minute drive home

Result- good, felt tired but not too tried, same again timorrow-will substitute small free standing weights for the machines to make it a little different

Way to go Hiama !!! Well done !!

haha. but then you don't need to go to the gym and may as well keep the pinchable cheeks since your lady frieds like it so much! but something tells me you will not make a good hermit and won't last more than a few hours, you will surely be snatched out of the hermitness soon, perhaps IN a gym. i will go myself. resolve!

Thud!

Yeah - right

Next you'll be telling us you're going to be a monk in a closed comtemplative order. Where those unattractive brown (yechhh!!) habits will conceal your rounded form!

On the other hand - a life of asceticism may slim you down better than anything. Meagre meals, no booze, work in the monastery garden. And NO vices! It could bring forth the new you! Hmmmmm??

Gautam, looks like no one believes you.....

Story of my life littlek, story of my life... <SIGH>

I am bloody serious abt my hermitness - I have just abt had enough of *man*kind - from now on, you will see a very serious, non flirtatious side of me - with no reference, overt or covert, to sex at all...

Broke two resolutions yesterday

1. Did not go to the gym
2. Had beer mindweek

Actually, my legs were hurting so much, that when I spoke to my trainer on the phone, he advised me to take rest and come back today - as too much pain might demotivate me from my noble goal. Which was good in the sense that since England was playing Turkey, the only thing I was in a mood for was to sit on my couch infront of the TV with chilled beer by my side.

And that is what I did - hey football is a valid excuse !!!

Back to the Gym today.....

Good result in the footy. I tried not to overdo it yesterday so I am looking forward to going again today, a little stiff in the legs, everything else OK.

So report number two will be winging its way in around 4 hours time.

Mid week beers Gautam- you bad boy ! :wink:

England v Turkey for me, too, last night. Mind you, I'm interested in the football only, not David Beckham's appearance!

I cycled there (a friend's flat) and back, however, so I got about 30 minutes exercise...and I go quite fast, despite London roads.

I'm really pleased that I've lost 2kg (4.4lbs) since I bought new bathroom scales (less than 3 weeks ago)...just from cutting a lot of the "bad" things out of my diet and generally restricting what I eat from the (former) large portions.

Well done KP, keep it up !
