I know. I've had two Aussie mates smuggle me some in their carry-on luggage :happy:<br />
<br />
If I lived in America I'd be the fattest bastard ever. Especially in SoCal the Mexican food, burgers, ribs and everything are just sensational. If you're ever in La Jolla, stop in for dinner at The Spot. Most unbelieveably good burgers and ribs ever. Fuck I'm hungry! -
[quote name='Hooroo']<br />
Bah. Krispy Kreme is totally overrated I reckon.<br />

You're not in Barn's headspace right now then <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> The true evil of them is they feel so light and fluffy when eating them, but the guys making Krispy Kreme seem to have somehow made sugar into a gaseous form to fill all the holes in the bread itself <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /><br />
<br />
Barn, some words of encouragement: Get the fuck on with it. -
Seconded by MvJ. This is not a forum to talk about cakes and pies. <br />
<br />
Yet. -

<br />
but yet you're more than happy to discuss various strategies of injecting flavour into your stir-fry chicken, Emma? :nta Double standards, methinks. :whistle: -
Emma has been a mild-mannered mod for this forum so far RB. Let us not anger her <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />

Emma also doesn't understand the double standard. Posters are free, and indeed encouraged, to discuss healthy food in this forum.

Thursday 19 July 2006:<br />
<br />
31min at a healthy pace on the treadmill (5km)<br />
30mins leg weights, not too strenuous, I don't want to embarrass myself in front of all the gym junkies.<br />
<br />
Breakfast: two slices of wholemeal toast with marmite<br />
Lunch: Lentil stew with veges, a toffee pop, an apple and two wholegrain crackers<br />
Dinner: One-pot chicken and rice with veges, <br />
<br />
Snacking: NONE<br />
<br />
Total weight lost since log began (1 week): bupkis. Is this normal or should I be concerned? -
Nah it's normal Barn, the body doesn't always burn fat straight away. Give it some time.
-
<img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> It's done exactly as it's been told so far. Was very sore the day after the 16km run but I woke up today feeling very refreshed.<br />
<br />
You're right though, my body knows the only time I run is to get to the pub in time to see the haka. Poor thing must be very confused. -

Do not despair Barnya; it won't happen overnight but it will happen.

Thankyou Rachel.<br />

Thursday 20/7: 8km run, 56mins. Pushed myself over the last 2km and found I had a bit in reserve which was good. Seemed twice as long as I had "You ain't going nowhere" by the Byrds stuck in my head. Being 2mins long, I sang it approx. 28 times. :tickedoff:<br />
<br />
Breakfast: NONE (get up when your alarm tells you you lazy FluffyBunny)<br />
Lunch: Leftover lentil stew from yesterday. Joy!<br />
Dinner: Just about to make me a chicken salad roll for dinner then off to work<br />
<br />
Snacking: Two wholegrain crackers, two toffee pops, one stick of celery.<br />
<br />
It was 6 degrees during my run, this must make it fucking difficult. My lower legs felt like lead weights the whole way. My jatz crackers have gone into hiding, not even a gentle 10min massage in the shower could coax them out. Poor little battlers, hope they know their way home.<br />
<br />
Buy me a flute and a gun that shoots, tailgates and substitutes, strap yourself to a tree with roots, you ain't going nowhere, oooo eee ride me high, tomorrow's the day my bride's gonna come, oh oh are we gonna fly down in the easy chair :whistle:
