Chris56Ryan Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Good to be back on solid ground and great to see all you great guy's here for some much appreciated support. I even just went with the thai green curry for dinner instead of all the fried foods with chips. Feeling pretty good at the moment even though I only have a week at home before I'll be back to go offshore again I'm currently still under my calories from my calculations but only have room for one pint. Good thing my 40 minutes on the threadmill burnt 600 calories to give me room for one or two more. So with that back to my date.Hello gorgeous!

Xahn Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Ok, caught up. This thread has me cracking up already. From your picture with the bed head (hilarious!), to the difficulties between imperial and metric. I love the post about the sleeping bag, I can totally see that skit happening in my head. And regarding the Aussies (I work with a team from Sydney) the only thing we can NEVER figure out is how to tell each other how hot or cold it is. Oh, and that damned picture makes me thirsty.

Chris56Ryan Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Now back in Ireland and having a rest day again for myself since my hip is giving me jip after my running. I am just under the calories today even though I had a slice of chocolate cake but it's soccer and beer now with the father so not for long.

Chris56Ryan Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Well I've calmed down and actually turned down yet another night on the sauce There were many tasty beverages had and a particular tasty lady whom I blame for the second night as I had to try at least . So all in all a great time was had but I over did it I didn't eat any junk but the sheer amount of calories drunk was horrendous (and impressive) so my eating goal was out for the two days and only one night was planned so the other was a fail too. I'm taking the two days as cardio work though as they both involved walking 5 miles plus. I'm back to it now though and have a good week ahead. Now before this little slump I had been disappointed in myself with my core goals and now I'm even less happy I have to get doing this properly so there are abs in existence at least I've updated my stats in my second post where they'll all go for a comparison. I meant to put them here too but I can't remember them off to catch up after all the neglect I'll be busy.

QuirkyDM Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 A small binge isn't horrible. I find my body actually responds well- a day of craziness kick starts my body into fooling that I'm not going to keep abusing it for the next few days. Then BAM! you kick some butt while it's still feeling good and bounce back stronger than ever. I've read some diet plans that encourage some cheat meals just for this effect- so your body doesn't always feel like it's in a fasting mode and will ease up on holding on to its reserves. The trick is getting back on after the binge. So kick some butt in week 2! Quirky DM My Battle Log: QuirkyDM going Quazy "Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure." Link to post
