I like the chicken balti pies. I ate one yesterday. But yeah, the chicken and mushroom pie by the same manufacturer is poor. I ate one once. Never again.

Not bad after a 'balanced' few days.

Though the chamomile and banana on toast while watching Man Utd was almost as dire as the game.


See if me blisters allow for a 10km morning followed by salmon, scrambled and tomato. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. -_-

Whoa! Back to work full time day. Up early and got some exercise in. 5pm will be round two. Hungry now!!

Had to split me exercise today, should be 17km or so by the day's end.

7km+ done, yummy lunch of cat-vomit. Salmon, ham, corn, maters, shrooms, egg.



Rest before some upperbody sets and working off that cheddar cheese with a 10km evening stroll.

Suggestion mate from 3 months of experience. Do the bigger portion in the morning. You are gonna struggle with 10K in the evening. Your legs do get tired.

Yeah, had to quit after 5km which was a real pity, legs and body wanted to keep on going. Got back home and was able to reel off another 2km. Will see how this evening goes, hoping for 8-10km before dinner.

Amazing how your fitness changes. 2-3 months ago I started at 4km and was almost dead, needed to stop for banana chips, sweating me nuts off and feeling dizzy driving home.

Now reel off 5km with no effort at all and don't want to stop.

^Good on you, Lu. Dunno if you've ever tried some weight training for fitness / weight loss? Don't need loads and loads of mad cardio to get in shape if you have access to some free weights, and a spare 3 hours / week.

^ Cheers. Yeah, have a home gym. Just do it in the afternoon to trim, rather than build mass.



The first workout last week was to clean the cobwebs and rust off it.

Keep at it LuLu. Today after my 22km bike ride and then yard work I weighed in at 70.5kgs. I am riding bike minimum 8kms every morning after my wake up isometric exercises. Last week averages 10,230 steps a day plus 8km min on bike and basic yard work.

Plenty of room now to knock back some good cocktails sitting in my Jacuzzi...

Good stuff.

Looking forward to biking once out of fookin' Bkk. The North is made for it. Damn nice amount of exercise that.

For the first time in my adult life I am losing weight. Why? Burning up 3,000 calories plus a day but not finding a way yet to eat much over 2200 or maybe 2500 so it just keeps falling off. Getting back into dark chocolate and cheese. Dont really know how good for me that is, but seem to be burning it off no problems. The evening walk/run always includes a bit of weight work as well.

Is that how tall you are?.... I had always read jabs in various threads about you being a sawed off runt....

As for me, 5ft 8.

^ Don't believe everything Dill-Lulutard-inger posts.

Pretty short, not that it matters a jot, of course.


Should be splitting my time fairly evenly with CM soon enough, new Main Mrs CNX actually comes from Lampang. Should hook up for a mountain bike ride in the hills (if you don't mind waiting for me to catch up every Km or 2. )

Ya know after living around Thailand a bit long before I got married I clearly knew that the North was the place for me. Open nice roads, no police, nice folks, great food, descent weather and lots of green landscape. I doubt I could do CM though due to the annual rice burning. I am glad I am on the other side of that mountain range so it all sadly socks into the CM valley and have seen it pretty bad there and no way I would ride my bike in it.

Yeah, that's definitely the time of year not to live there.

*Snub noted and filed away for future reference*

Fuck you I didn't want to go mountain biking anyway!*



















*No really, I don't.

I pointed that out in Lulu's last diet/weight loss thread when he showed his "healthy" weight loss low carb dinner photo, replete with corn.
Needless to say, he curbed his corn eating that time, with not so much as a thank you to me for pointing out his error.

I have been blessed with a stable weight range most of my life AO. In fact I still have and wear some old shorts and Levis that I wore when I was late 30's and they still fit the same.

I am not exercising for weight loss but rather sustaining my health and staying fit and active and of course leave room for my cocktail events which I enjoy quite a bit. Its all a trade off and we all have our priorities but the key IMHO is doing it on your own terms versus a doctor giving you a list of everything you cant eat anymore effectively immediately along with a handful of pills. So I eat pretty well. BBQ a lot, Wife avoids any deep frying and generally cooks good food and we do not eat a lot portion size.

You guys bike, I'll wait for you half way up a hill in me Green Meanie pick-up to give you tired fockers a lift.
