well, what an interesting two weeks.
first week went to pot. just didn't make the effort. really. need to find a new job. nearly built the travel bike. technical issues with the chain dropping when the pressure is applied.
second week went very well. solid work, almost every day. too much turbo/treadmil but treadmill on hill jog mode and sufferfest turbo made the most of it.
scores on the doors as of 25/7 : 19 - 10. thats another 3lb of lard lost.
progress is still slow. need to solve the gear issues.
scores on the doors : 19st6 ; 4lbs down since the weekend. Progress?
Almost everyday ? Is that a bit like being almost pregnant ?
Month to to go to the show down at Bala, keep it up Lard
There were some big units at Ocean Lava Sarge, you can do it!
I had a chat with Richard Webster (the ex Wales prop forward) who has to do the run on crutches and he ruddy well finished well in - front me!
Keep it up and we will see you in Bala!
working week to week : a good week is 6 days out of last seven with training. an ok week is 4 / 7 and anything else is shit. and -ve lbs position every week or its shit.
last three broken down : Shit. Great. OK. -ve lbs every week.
hungry all the time. but getting less lardy slowly. getting used to it mind. good habits forming.
10 wks to brum great run.
4 wks to Bala
? Wks to Outlaw / Ironman open for entry.
2 wks to find a new job.
11 dys to 49
2 days to start the DIY home decor
6 hrs to a home cooked meal.
life is sweet. (and sour.)
If you're hungry all the time you're on too much of a deficit
Lard, you don't necessarily need to be hungry all the time to lose weight, if you log (via something like myfitnesspal) and see proportion of carbs/fat/protein you may be able to tweak it slightly to make you feel more full, I found if I eat mostly carbs I tend to get hungry quite quickly but with a higher protein intake I feel much more full for the same amount of overall calories. Might be worth taking a look at?
m starting to cut the timber away having fannied around with it for a year; so ill have to careful about reducing the deficit.
It's not a fine line at all it depends how quickly you expect it to happen
You ve got to keep at it. And not give up. Ever!
Runner, swimmer, cyclist and triathlete
Devoid of a competitive streak
Who cares, I'm in it for the medal!
To give up, first you need to get started
I have started. its a very very slow burn.

going for a ride now - I need the exercise
Do you have sex ? Or is your OH worried you'll croak doing that as well
lol
just realised i can afford it as im not buying a mountain of crap to eat every week .
sex only kills if its not with the OH apparantly ~!
So a good solid weekends training ? Or more excuses ?
I've only managed a little bike ride
a good week dave - 1 missed day, and a long run later today. need to hit 6 miles again.
next week will be bitty so focusing on diet ( im on holiday with dependants so its going to have to be what I can sueeze in ). aiming for a good week though.
a little bike ride sounds like your underselling it. was it a BMX ? or as I suspect only a ouple of hours rather than half a day as normal.
120km round North Wales the Mark Cavandish sportive
the 20% climb on the horseshoe pass was ok, but the 28% bit nearly finished me off
Broke my running records this week 45 miles for the week, managed a four hour bike ride as well but no swimming don't see the point until I get a coach now.
OH / Family on board day 1 ? Tick
outlaw half entered. ? Tick
Staffs 70.3 entered ?
Outlaw 2016 entered ? ( or ) Ironman UK entered ?
( im not mad you know )
Lot of cheque book action...... Any training ?
Maccy Ds entered ? Tick
Greggs entered ? Tick
Local Chippie entered ? Tick
I could properly go for a greggs
I thought of Lardy boy when I was doing the Sportive on Sunday, a bit of a plus size guy riding about 10 grands worth of Spesh Venge, didn't seem to work well as although he descended quicker than me, he seemed to have to push it up every hill ! Now the 28% gradient I could accept, but he was even pushing it up 10% stuff near the end
Maccy D - nope
Greggs - nope
Chippie - nope
sportive - nope, not this year methinks
Training - OK, but its a problem week so take it where I can get it
scores ont eh doors 19 - 2. slowly less of me to walk up hill
I'll buy you a pastie after Bala
