Not a goal but a direction!

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

Allow me a brief foray into some philosophical aspects of my journey to say “goodbye” to MrTubby for good. Unlike in previous times, this time I don’t actually have a real goal. People typically have certain goals, like, lose 10 pounds, or lose 15 pounds before next summer… these are goals that are defined by […]

The pain sets in!

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

Day two, and I can’t believe it, I’m already sore from only one day of exercising! I’m having a significant case of the DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), especially in my upper pecs. No doubt this is from me being overzealous with the pec dec! Yesterday morning I did a bit of pec work, and […]

Flaxseed oil, the miracle oil!

Monday, May 30th, 2005

There is scientic evidence from worldwide studies that have shown that using Flaxseed oil (linseed oil) boosts the immune system, promotes anti-tumor activity, normalizes blood pressure levels and inhibits cancer cell growth. So in other words, the implication is that it is good against cancer. To prevent cancer, to stop it from growing, etc. Now […]

Low carbing and insulin… what the?

Monday, May 30th, 2005

So what’s the deal with all the low carb diets? Low carb diets were popularised by Dr Atkins, who is still seen as a rebel by many, touting advice that some experts assert can ultimately lead to severe health problems such as heart disease. Be that as it may, the principle of low carb diets […]

About fiber and regular guys

Monday, May 30th, 2005

As MrTubby I am just your regular guy… especially since I’ve been adding this fiber supplement to my diet! I kid you not: if you’ve ever been on a no-carb diet, you’ll find out in exactly three days why your body needs fiber. I myself have learned my lesson and I’ve since ventured on a […]

Protein in the morning

Monday, May 30th, 2005

Here’s what I eat in the morning. Firstly, let’s talk about WHEN I eat it. As any sports physiologist will tell you, exercise for fat loss is most effective in the morning. Your body has just been fasting all night long while you were sleeping, and there’s not much glucose in your blood stream to […]

About Lil Ms Saggybutt

Monday, May 30th, 2005

Lil Ms Saggybutt is the prettier half of the MrTubby/Saggybutt cohabitance deltaforce team. I’m pretty certain that 99% of the world population would attest that Lil Ms Saggybutt is skinny, perhaps even too skinny! But such is the world… we’re never quite happy with who we are. But - too skinny or not, flabby […]

About MrTubby

Monday, May 30th, 2005

MrTubby is your standard, run of the mill middle aged specimen. Still in his late 30s, he represents a soft-edged, follically challenged average individual that has become increasingly sedentary. Not that there’s anything wrong with enjoying the luxuries that progressed age and standard of living provide, but the effects of the couch potato life style […]

Climbing Up Walls

Monday, May 30th, 2005

Indoor rock climbing! So guess what, Saggybutt has declared an interest in indoor rock climbing. Yours truly is taking the joyous news of her unusual desire to exercise with reserved excitement. My fear of heights could possibly make it hard to join her in the quest to climb artificial walls.
I think it’d be a good […]
