Weight / Fat loss

eat one.

eat one now.

one won't hurt.

Fantastic holiday, great to have some sun, of course I ate and drank well. Since comb back resisting to eat loads still is proving tricky.

Off now for the next week too but making an effort to visit the gym still.

Ill hit it all again next week once I'm back at work.

My iron will is being tested by me today: it was my brithday on friday and in the traditional manner I've gone and bought a shit load of cookies, doughnuts and cakes for my team and they are now sitting on my desk.

They've been there for 3 hours so far and I've resisted, I think if I can resist one then I'll resist them all but if I have one I will be forever doomed.

This.

My boss returned from two weeks in Italy with two bags of the most addictive hazelnut and marzipan chocolate things imaginable.

I have given in. Twice.

Meh. I had a footlong Cob chicken tikka and a rocky road cheesecake for lunch.
Enjoy yourself once in a while. Especially on your birthday(ish).

Incidentally the aptly named Porky's on the Aspley rd in Nottingham (Beechdale/ Bobbers Mill) is brilliant. £4 for the above.

PS Happy Birthday.

I am stuck at 67.4kg. Every day. At least I am consistent. Still, I am mainly stuck at this weight by takeaway pizza, which I had twice at the weekend.

I've lost my scales in the move.
I worry about what happens when I find them again.

BURN THEM! And have a lovely birthday.

Great idea, check out the salad gallery, made me hungry straight after my lunch.

I mentioned this before and was widely poo-poo'd for said suggestion.

Give it a go by all means, all that'll happen is that the thread gets merged back into this one if it offends the Squashinator.

You suggested a section for "training" not a weight training thread.

Your suggestion was already well catered for by various threads as well as threads about more specific training issues (ie. power meters, turbo trainers).

At the time you were crapping on about power levels or heart rate. We don't need to read your cross-posted ramblings about whatever it is you're fascinated about on a given day in four different, loosely related threads. Have you considered a blog?

Good article about the current 'paleo' bollocks trend..

I still think it would be a good idea to have a thread for training, get all the arm-chair coaches in one place.

As it stands you do get some posts in the power meter thread, some in track, some in this thread, etc etc.

Still, that doesn't really matter I guess - it seems to work which is the important thing, and the muscle mary's get to keep their separate thread.

decided to have a muffin, it was dissappointing, so put me off trying any of mr kiplings offerings = win.

What the last week has shown me is its ok to have a week of focussed bad behaviour because it gets the urges out of your system..

Not going to weigh myself till next monday but feeling stronger again already now I'm off the booze again, and really looking forward to this triathlon tomorrow.

Hopefully my lack of swimming training won't stop me from doing a decent swim and being amongst the leaders for the bike, then my running should get me into the top 10.

The principles of Paleo are sound, hippy.

What can be skewed is some people's interpretation of the Paleo principles and how strictly they are applied. In the modern world there is no need to be this strict, (eg dairy exclusion if you are not dairy intolerant makes no sense).

There is no harm in following out a diet which fundamentally made up of REAL FOOD which is very nutritionally dense.

Most modern day approaches to Paleo are modified and do include dairy, select grains and legumes.

Generally the best nutritionists will take the best aspects of say Paleo diet and the Mediterranean diet and combine them to get optimal results whatever their clients goals may be.

Does anyone here listen to Ben Coomber Radio?

If not you should have a listen.

lost another kilo in the last 3 weeks. That's 13 in the last year. God knows how much more I would have lost if I hadn't drunk any beer this summer.

The principles of Paleo are sound, hippy.

No, they are not, given that they are based on wacko pseudo-science. The practical application of those principles tends to be healthy enough, but the principles could lead to very stupid behaviour. Why obsess over bogus justifications for dietary behaviour? Why waste time debating it? Why not test what works and just follow that? Why elevate superstition over science?

If you're a pale-o, you don't get tan lines, and that means that you're not one of us.

So, Paleo diets are ok, as long as they're not Paleo diets. Got it.

I knew you'd say that you big Kiwi twat.

OK so back off holiday, I'm still eating as if I'm on holiday.

Solution to this is to eat everything sweet in the house then get back on it. It's providing hard.

Off to the gym later, hopefully tomorrow will be a different day!

I knew you'd say that you big Kiwi twat.

Mmm.. kiwi twat. No more than one a day though if you're on a paleo diet.

It turns out that I'm basically the same weight as I was 3 weeks ago, and I've really not been working at it.

I'm quite pleased with that.
