I hope you have eaten a load of delicious Easter chocolate eggs. I had a couple of small ones myself.
And tomorrow, right back at it. A stone lost is a great acheivement, but only if it stays off.
P.S. I did your pushup/kettlebell swing thing and it kicked my ass.
Kimba has had a couple of small eggs. I had about 103 last night and have vowed to change my ways starting today. I don’t care what you weigh, eating shit makes you feel like shit.
Great job on the slimming down, Cal.

Exactly. I don’t love any food so much that I’m willing to feel like crap later for it. Lucky, I guess.

I wish I could say the same. Unfortunately, as I’ve progressed, my appetite has also and so when I hit the food that hurts, I can pack away 3 times as much as I used to, compounding the pain.
Fast food burgers and fries, kfc, pizza and subs aren’t a big deal. Even sweets only get me with the sugar coma, but it is the Chinese food buffet is what kills me because I can go for 4 or more servings and the salt makes me so thirsty but I am so full of all the sugar and I can’t get enough fluids for the rest of the night and the next day I feel like hell. It’s like a hangover of sorts.
But yet, I still go back when my nasty co-workers slyly approach my desk whispering “Sweet & Sour…Kiki Gardens…mmmmmm”

Sounds like you and I have a very similar relationship with food. The food “hangover” is never so bad that it turns me off of more junk.
Anyone ever get a food “high”? I once spent 5 hours at an all-you-can-eat buffet & korean bbq place… eating continuously… the employees there couldn’t believe how much I was packing in. Afterwards, I was in a giddy, silly state for several hours before I started to feel disgusting.
Congrats on the weight loss Cal! It’s all the more impressive given your strong lifts. 
don’t get me wrong, I CAN EAT!! probably not 5 hours worth though, haha…
I just have it in my head that eating that stuff is what got me overweight, so I don’t allow it, erm, everyday…seriously, I would eat all that stuff Deb mentioned on a daily basis years ago, cause I didn’t know any better!
The only exercise I got was on the ship…manual labor type stuff builds a big appetite though!
Thats why I have a free meal once a week of whatever it is I’ve been craving, desert and all! But I still don’t eat til stuffed…did that before and I wake in the night with pizza sweats and feeling all tired the next day…
I must confess to eating a lot at the weekend and suffering a food hangover. I blame the hot cross buns. I don’t normally touch wheat, but I allowed myself and indulgence and boy did it come back to bite me on the ass.
Back on tuna and whey as of today. Joy.
food hangovers. almost as worth it as alchy hangovers.
say hi to the T&W for me.
Cal - LOOKING LEAN! Keep up the hard work!
And yes… I actually eat enough junk to where I get dizzy, bleary-eyed, exhausted and achy on my cheat days… I just love that kind of food so much that I let myself have it once a week. It’s so funny because I am so hard-core “organic, grass-fed, free-range, pesticide, hormone and antibiotic free, alkaline, etc” the rest of the time. But when it’s time to let loose… I sure do!

Hahahaha! Yes… you have prob seen me at my worst! My B-day was pretty bad… I actually had to unzip my dress in the car b/c I was getting bad stomach pains and once the dress was unzipped (which it was hard to get undone b/c it had become to tight) the 2 sides of the zipper were like 5 inches apart and wouldn’t BUDGE ANY CLOSER! hahahaha! I had to walk into my house with my dress undone on the side!
I really am a fat girl at heart… I just like to lift an have decent willpower more often than not… =D
There have been a few occassions where I’ve had to undo my flies…which is why I favour drawstring pants, lol. Oh I’m so ladylike.
Well I must confess I’ve been a lazy sod this week - I was struggling to motivate myself but then realised it’s probably down to PMS, since Flo’s due (right in time for my 10K on Sunday. Bitch). I finally dragged my arse to the gym this morning, though I was a bit late so didn’t do much.
Foot plate pushy things
50 hypers
(Bench warm-up: 20 x bar, 10 x 30kg, 10 x 40kg)
50kg bench
26kg dumbell row
3 x 8
(Basically did bench, then right arm row, then left arm row. Rest and repeat).
Weight felt pretty heavy but I’ve not eaten much for two days due to my oustanding piggery at the weekend. And the PMS blah, of course.
Bar x 10
2 x 25kg x 8
(So yes, was just doing the deadlift with the same, small weight I was pressing with. My back is fucked, so I’m taking it very easy).
That was really it, apart from stretching.
My RCs are not too happy so I may have to ease off the benching a bit and do some dumbell inclines for a while. It’s pretty hard to find something fun to train at the moment - lower back issue puts the kybosh on deads and squats, and shoulders are grumbling. Sometimes I think I should just say fuck it and do yoga instead (jk).
Good for you for finding the inner strength to go and workout despite everything. This is what serperates the bad from the badass.
Getting to the gym is so hard when motivation fails and injuries are sucking. Good job.
You’re not wrong. I find it hard to drag myself away from my computer, warm flat and cups of tea to go do mobility work. Whereas if I was off to break my deadlift record or bust out a few sets of squats I’m raring to go.
I think I need to find some different goals other than strength, at least for a time. (Obviously I am still dropping fat but I’m talking exercise-related).
having a specific goal(s) mind can certainly help…anything in mind?
Good job getting in to the gym Cal. I’m also interested to hear what you might want to do as an alternative - could be fun, maybe get your hands wet in a different sport or something like that?
