Last night I bravely faced my first big challenge. I was to cook my lunch for today! The book contained a recipe for tomato soup. What an adventure! It included using the oven, the pan, lots of chopping and guess what…
I was totally into it! I donned a lab coat, got all the ingredients together […]

I am still quite sick and didn’t get much sleep. I had a day of important meetings ahead as well so we decided to skip the morning exercise. Yesterday night, Saggybutt had in wise foresight prepared tonight’s dinner, and she was also kind enough to prepare my breakfast and lunch to bring to work.
What can […]

After a week of extreme work load and a constant, ongoing battle with what appears to be a really nasty and truly persistent flu, yours truly, Mr Tubby, is back on track. I decided to start an actual diet, following a book. Which one it is will be revealed at the appropriate time in the […]

Today the weather didn’t play along with our regime of morning “walkies”. Whilst the sun was out when we ventured into the green park land of Kings Park, it completely took us by surprise just after we had passed the point of no return.
Within minutes Ms Saggybutt and Mr Tubby turned into Ms Soggybutt and […]

The main reason why Lil Ms Saggybutt exercises is probably for moral support, to help ME achieve my weight loss goals. Saggybutt is not exactly overweight. Personally I feel that what she should do most is squats and lunges to devil-up her butt and thighs. As you’d expect, lunges and squats is what she hates […]

It’s been a while since my last entry. Lets just recap what happened. Before you yell out “Excuses, excuses!”, read on. I believe I am still on track with my weight loss and muscle gain program.
In the last weeks, I suffered from a flu-like cold, with sore throat, headaches, achey muscles and joints, […]

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 […]
