Fatbusting: MvJ's log (a blob's blog)

[b]Day 8[/b]<br />
<br />
Right, I feel like fucking absolute crap. Everything wants to pack up. I think it's the detox; last time this happened I went straight for the pies. However, MvJ will beat it this time. Nice healthy lunch and dinner tonight, no grog (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and only two cups of coffee all day. <br />
<br />
Anyway, one miserable run tonight, all of 10 minutes plus 20 minutes ridiculous walking. MvJ has decided not to weigh himself for a week, seeing as everyone keeps recommending that and shit. Up tomorrow, health permitting, for a little cycling before work. -
Hang in there Milly, you're doing great.
-
Cheers ParcDesPrinces. We should say the same to Kirwan who appears to be experiencing the detox delights too, and remember he hasn't just given up grog on weekdays but on weekends too, poor sap :happy:
-
Have come out the other side of that, it lasted three days. Quite disturbing when you think it's basically just sugar that my body is reacting to. I had a fever, constant headaches and poor energy levels (dragged myself to the gym anyway).<br />
<br />
Feel good now, and have gone back a belt rung (which caused my initial panic). Having a rest from the exercise today, and picking it up again tomorrow. -
Too much is how much. I haven't missed it the last two nights at all, but it would be nice not to wake up at 2am after a nightmare of sorts and equally nice to be able to just lie down and go straight to sleep...
-
Let's just say that Kirwan and MvJ didn't have enough blood in their alcohol system <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

So coming out of minor alcoholism is about the same as having kids eh? :nta Interesting. -
Being an alcoholic is more fun.
-
Yes and less expensive I bet.

[b]Day 9-- best day yet [/b]<br />
<br />
MvJ has absolutely spanked it today:<br />
<br />
30 minutes on the exercycle<br />
Power walk to work<br />
Ham sambo for lunch, with some grapes and fruit and shit<br />
Power walk home<br />
Run<br />
<br />
Even took the stairs up to my apartment. <br />
<br />
That's my best run yet; I actually finally completed the course I've been trying to do for a week without stopping. 20.57 it took me, would have been quicker to crawl, but MvJ is very pleased. -
Well done MvJ. Days like are when you feel like you're getting on top of it. Remember that feeling when you're halfway through a longer run because it will spur you on.
-
Yes; I'm conning myself into thinking that the sprinting bits will be counter-balanced by the standing around bits. No trials this weekend thank Christ.<br />
<br />
Refereeing is exactly like playing though; you can train all you want but you need matches to get match fit. Preferably matches played in knee deep mud without Islander backs tearing it up from their own 22... -
[b]Day 10[/b]<br />
<br />
30 minutes on the exercycle this morning, power walk to work. No coffee or tea all day. <br />
<br />
Jesus fucking Christ I have been grumpy today. My secretary called me a fluffybunny, which should have been an indication. She has also requested that I go back on the coffee, pies, chocolate, coke, burgers etc etc and immediately. <br />
<br />
In between behaving like a prat at work I have had to correct some posters in the Sports Talk Forum, in a manner which reflects my current state of mind. -
[b]Day 11[/b]<br />
<br />
I have been gently dissuaded from fully and properly informing you Red Bull, probably with good reason. Us Moderators are a sensible bunch, even those other than me, by and large.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, MvJ had 2 beers and 2 glasses of wine last night and was more off his tits than Lee Grant after one of his 4 litre casks of wine. So the exercise / diet must be doing something. Shame I followed it up with a Chinese meal and another failure to convert a young slapper. At least she paid. <br />
<br />
I think it might be my haircut. <br />
<br />
I have drunk a shitload of water to try to abate the hangover. It was quite impressive how thirsty I was. Normally I could knock back most of a 2 litre cask and just have a half a glass of water in the morning. <br />
<br />
I was back on the exercycle this morning, hangover notwithstanding. I clocked 27.43 for my regular "cycle" and am very pleased with that. <br />
<br />
Sadly MvJ is off to a referees meeting tonight so the only exercise this evening will be boxing in the event I am sitting near Ayoub. -

<br />
Sounds promising - if she pays she might be interested enough to go again? :nta Did you, as a gentleman, insist that you pay or at least share?<br />
<br />
Last time a chick paid for my dinner and drinks it was Mrs the Aussie before she was going out with me - I was poor and going on leave interstate the next day and after a few she hit on me. As unlikely as it sounds that's true and here we are 8 years later... -

<br />
No. As a gentleman, I told her it was an excellent idea and handed her the bill.
