    just about to fuck everything up with a large kebab and chips. and wine. and beer.

    Been textbook up to now - 45 minutes of sweating like an Isaan farmer during a Lau Khao draught in the shed (Wattbike ATom in the shed, Dirk) five miles worth of dog walks, an hour in the garden and porridge (breakfast) sweet potato, avocado and tuna (lunch) apples (snack).

    All that may as well not have happened though - I'm gonna be fucking disgraceful with this kebab.

    2 mile dog walk today and collected a kilo of antioxidant blackberries, scoffed and half of them on the walk.

    2 hour 30 mile cycle ride.

    10 pull ups.

    An hour chopping up pallets for a wall feature in my mancave now I'm ballsing all the healthiness up sinking 8 cans of beer watching the match
    Shalom

    Depends what kinda kebab but still some people just eat them.

    If it’s a kebab you’ve never ate before… pass it off as cheat day.

    After being forced to jump on the scales at a doc visit yesterday the ugly truth was revealed. I won't reveal the exact kg out of embarassment but let's just say I'm heavier or have "bigger bones" than mendy. Here's a clue though. The BMI came in at 34.6. I am indeed a big beast. A large Mammal. This is day 3 off the piss though so giving myself a wee pat on the back

    Good idea.

    I usually do Friday weigh ins.

    On the morning of the 3rd day I'm down:
    0.7kg,
    0.3% body fat,
    0.2 BMI

    Up:

    0.2 Muscle
    0.2 Water
    1.7 Annoying Twat


    Time for a 2nd cup of coffee, 30km bike ride, breakfast, abs, triceps, delts, pecs, lunch and Friday evening cheat day.

    ^ Are you sure your scales are working OK mate... that 1.7 seems a bit low?

    I can't do any progress update because we've got bad weather forecast for the next few days so there's no chance of an accurate measurement, but I do feel a bit thinner.

    I'm not one to make excuses but after just two gym sessions my right toe nail is now about two thirds detached and I think it's only a matter of time before it comes off. How about making it a 'Slender September through to December' to give me a chance of Dirk's pie?

    Don't worry about Eddy, pies can only be sent within Thailand so the prize (but not the glory) will drop down the list to the first locally residing participant that isn't me. I'm just going for glory.

    And, you know, if you're getting free delivery on a free pie, you'd be as well put in an order of more pies and sausage rolls.

    Yup, it's an Impedance Scales, or some sorta thing.

    Measures yer weight, BMI, % body fat, muscle, water, bone density, and some other stuff.


    After wondering just how the fook it could do such a thing, simply by one Mister Cheddar standing on it, it apparently sends electrical currents up one leg and down the other.


    It should also be noted that it is apparently the least exact way of measuring such things.

    But that hardly matters.

    It's not like I'm in any sort of competition or anything.

    And here is my skipping effort from the other day. I'm not particularly good at skipping, but I consulted some experts in the form of youtube videos and to do an in-between bounce between jumps is very uncool and punishable by the skipping gods.

    I'm also having trouble mastering the timing of alternating left foot-right foot without running forward at the same time.

    It also hurts like fuck every time I catch it on my toes. Regardless I feel like I need a heavier rope.

    I prefer to skip with my trainers on but they're covered in shit from running round the rubber.

    Cool.

    Apparently mine (600 baht at Decathlon) connects to my phone via bluetooth and stores that data. Haven't bothered doing that as:

    1) I usually only do weekly weigh ins.
    2) I'd throw it through the fokin' window in a big hissyfit when unable to set up the connection.

    Are we trying to lose a bit of weight here or training for the Olympics?

    It seems a bit unfair you guys having all this fancy equipment when I have to rely on the Heli-lounge luggage scales...

    I don't have anything here, just a skipping rope and running shoes now, dumbbells packed into the container ready for demob.

    I'm trying to lose 7% of my body weight here, so maybe the olympic training can start next year.

    I'll try figure mine out when I get back. I used it briefly but not enough to see any kind of trend.

    Nice choice. I'm definitely buying one this month and between your one, the Tacx Neo and the Wahoo Kickr I'm swaying towards the Kickr. Zwift will be the software of choice.

    This is a game changer, Dirk. The Kickr is probably the best trainer of the three (I managed to get my Atom for free otherwise I'd have chosen a Tacx or a Wahoo). Have you got a half reasonable bike?

    And Zwift. Oh yes. The world of Type 2 fun awaits you. I've been using it for three years and it's by far the best training/fitness tool (because it's so engaging) that I've ever used. Ideal for Thailand (because it's so hot) and the UK (because it's so shit). Let me know when you're set up.

    I have a MTB. Trek Procaliber 9.7 SL. I love the SRAM GX gearing that it comes with and love the whole bike in general. It was a game changer itself.

    I believe I just need to take a photo of it and the Wahoo Kickr app with automatically give me all the settings I need to get setup.

    I'm really looking forward to it.

    Coming off night shift's a bitch, so I was up just after 1am. Ventured out for a coffee and my legs are all seized up from my achilles to the backs of my knees. I was hobbling like Kevin Bacon in Murder in the First.

    I ventured into the 'gym' room which is basically just table tennis and knocked up lump-of-steel-string-pulley-over-a-roof-beam-stick contraption and done some weight training while considering how to go about a leg massage.

    I decided a good stretch was in order which meant warming up so I went back to my room and got my skipping rope on the go. I went fast paces roughly 1 minute jumping to 1 minute stretching, for 1,014 jumps in 6mins 46secs out of 11 mins. Definitely helped.

    Maybe I should skip leg day for a bit.

    The problem with this day shift nonsense is that it's dark when I leave for work and dark when I get back, so running round the rubber is not really an option.

    I've done full moon hashes before it's not fun, even if you stay at the beer truck.

    In Burma, we were banned from running on the rig roads at night, to many snakes.

    We have the rig camp here at the wellsite on the mountain for the guys who need to be here all the time. These guys are often seen running on the mountain road.

    Then there's the pipe yard camp at the bottom of the mountain which is mostly the rig crew working 12hrs back to back shifts. These guys don't exercise as they get enough at work. These guys go back, get the BBQ going, get the big beers and karaoke going, wether they just finished day shift or night shift.

    Then there's the service crews like us, who come and go as operations require. We stay in a 'resort' about 5kms from the Pipe yard, located on a palm and rubber farm. We have a 1km track we can run around the rubber trees and theres a small pool which is ok for doing lengths of breast stroke but too sort for front crawl action.

    Day shift has kinda fucked my routine, not only is it always dark when I'm off shift but it's wet right now too. It's also looking like I could be in for another 6 weeks due to operational problems, so I have been forced to take some action.

    I'm sure most of you have heard of these fitness programs before, I have done a bit of T25 Alpha before, never tried PX90 by Team Beachbody, but I have just downloaded another offering by the latter... Insanity.

    This will give me the means to work out in my A/C room with no additional equipment, although a yoga mat or something similar would be nice, so I'll order one if work extension if confirmed.




    The Pirate Bay - The galaxy's most resilient bittorrent site

    It starts with a fitness test where you right down your results as a baseline to work off. I couldn't be arsed with that at 3am this morning so I'll get started once I'm back from the rig.
