Increased metabolism

Thursday, June 2nd, 2005

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 […]

Don’t squash-and-beer

Thursday, June 2nd, 2005

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 […]

Day 4 - Walking is easy

Wednesday, June 1st, 2005

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 […]

Major poopage and bad beer

Wednesday, June 1st, 2005

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 […]

Squash with Seedy

Wednesday, June 1st, 2005

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 getting easier

Wednesday, June 1st, 2005

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. […]

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 […]
