Today I started to add leg work to my weight lifting program. I started with the 40 kg barbell on my shoulders. I did 10 squats, and it was relatively easy, but man, when I put the weight down, I had a hard time staying conscious! Squats are an extreme exercise, they are taking so […]

Well it’s been a week and I’ve exercised every day! I didn’t really cut down on any of the foods that I like, au contraire! I ate all the foods I liked, including beer, pasta and ice-cream, but unlike previous times, I didn’t finish the whole 1 kg ice cream box in one go!
My […]

Well it is Sunday, and I wasn’t so surprised when Saggybutt didn’t feel like joining me for our morning powerwalk. Claiming her day off, she preferred to stay in bed. It’s Sunday after all!
Undeterred, I did a bit of bench press and some feeble attempts at crunches with the gym ball, then went on […]

It was Friday night and I did have quite a few beers. After drinking, we even went as far as indulging with a fat doner kebab with chili/garlic sauce and big fat cup of big fries. Yummy! It’s the best kebab place in town, and sinning there like this is one of the true […]

Day 5. Woke up early, brought Saggybutt her morning coffee, did a bit of triceps and shoulder press, then I went to nag Saggybutt out of bed. To my amazement, there she was, in her trainers almost ready to go “walkies”! How’s that! She didn’t moan and groan when I woke her, and she didn’t […]

Seedy and I went for another squash battle, determined to do better than last time. We went to a different squash place near-by where Seedy lives. The place had blue line markings (as opposed to normal red ones), but other than that it was really quite good (expensive though). So the game began, and within […]

I got up kind of early and decided that it’s better not to crawl back into bed. So I got myself a nice cup of tea while preparing Saggybutt’s coffee. I added some creatine in my tea and ventured on to do my morning weight lifting. Since the pain in my right buttcheek (from all […]

When I arrived home from squash, I had another protein drink with Creatine. In the name of living an enjoyable life, I got two six packs of beer on the way home from squash. Cheap-ass me got what was on special. One was the Trumer Pils, an Austrian beer that I quite liked. This beer […]

My good friend Seedy (not his real name, to protect the …guilty ) is back in town and we’re both keen to get in a game of squash. This fits with my new choice of lifestyle just perfectly well!
We played in the evening after work. The game was fun but I got squashed […]

It’s the third day. My morning exercise consisted of lat pull downs and standing rows (using the 30 kg barbell - ouch). I noticed how much more comfortable it is when I use a narrower grip on the lat pull down instead of the using the full width of the bar, using the designated handles. […]
