Weight / Fat loss

I could probably do the Hagen Das thing. Depends if it was from frozen solid or softened state.

Challenge accepted!

Which one? From solid, unlikely although I'd try.
If it was melted - well I've finished 2L of iced coffee in 4min 10sec so 500ml tub of soft ice cream is a piece of piss.

Solid. Let's do it properly.

Did you time yourself with the iced coffee or is that an approximation?

Nope, that's official. We had a 'milk challenge' back in Oz and I was allowed to drink iced coffee (Farmers Union) 2L instead of plain milk.
You had to finish the bottle as fast as possible (I won) and then hold it for at least 15min afterwards (no spewing).

There was a "challenge" in the office on Friday to eat 5 McDonalds cheeseburgers in 5 minutes....

Winner was a guy from my team in 3.23. Impressive

I suspect the issue is that I swapped the time I used to spend in the gym with time spent on the bike.

I need to add back in the gym time, whilst not losing any of the bike time- which is problematic as I need to add in running time.

The only way I can see to do this is to be unemployed- unemployed but super buff.

Come to the gym with Iain and I before work. Just being vaguely near him builds muscle.

We did 2 hours yesterday, I am finding it difficult to move today.

done barely any cycling since moving in with my parents in july and put on 4kg (70 to 74) since going on holiday in june, cant wait to move out on wednesday, join the gym, eat properly and get cycling daily again,

desperately need to loose this huge belly i've developed

What time do you get there?

On a weekday, around 7:20/7:30 leave 8:15/8:20

Shower after workout included in that time?

I shower at work

Cut a 2 hour bike ride once a week, and replace it with a mixed gym session.

30 mins treadmill, 30mins core + stretching, and 60 mins intensive weight lifting.

I've weened myself down to 1 gym visit a week. Seems to be enough.

Cycling. Quite frankly. Takes too fecking long.

Well, I've done some calculations for today.

Intake: 3,117
Commute: 1,224
Basal metabolic rate: 1,789

Which leaves me running at 104 calories to turn into flubber.

I've down graded rugby, and thus upper body bulk development.

Maintaing a BMI over 30. Then playing pretty much only a couple 7s tournaments a year. Yet spending a load time trying to cycle mountains. Was somewhat deluded.

If time is tight. Do sets of press-ups whenever possible ( I do 40 waiting for the shower to warm up etc.). I do 120 pretty much everyday.

I think I need to stay under 3,000 calories per day to put myself at a deficit, which to be honest won't be that hard- 1,200 calories today are from me getting bored waiting for dinner and eating half a packet of cashews.

Voila:

79 at 186 really seem like an ideal weight more or less. Id love to gain 6-7 kgs.

How far's your commute Dammit?

I think I need to try harder.

Just under 10 miles each way, although today I went home via Souths so that tacked another couple on.

I could just try to do the ROTFL course every day: http://tpks.ws/88ne

Voila:

Wheres the food?
Breakfast?
Secod breakfast?
Dinner?
Supper?

That looks like the background stuff I eat between big meals.

I've lost Kgs. Simply by not eating 6 servings of brioche each evening. I still eat something like....

breakfast - 3 slices of bread with cold meat.
2 breakfast - banana and/or yoghurt
lunch - 6 slices of bread with weird scandi fish toppings and brown cheese.
tea - nuts and/or banana
Dinner - large healthy meal + whatever the kids leave.
Supper - big bowl of cereal.

When I was rugby focused you could add in 1 1/2 liters of protein shake. I also get through 8 or so Clif bars each week.

Yesterdays food (which was pretty typical was)
Apple
Protein shake
Bannana
Sandwich with wholemeal bread, cheddar, cucumber and 4 slices of pastrami
Bag of wotsits
Soreen banana lunchbox loaf
Half a pizza Express sloppy guiuseppe
Salad with french dressing.

I miss Soreen.

Density is important in a foodstuff.

Protein shake, banana, apple, 2 slices wholemeal bread, turkey, lettuce, cucumber, strawberries and grapes, tomato soup.

That's my food for today and I'm out of the house from 630 until 930. That'll be around 1800-2000 calories.

Yesterday was the same but with a cupcake in the morning and burger and chips for dinner (it was the wife's birthday)
