Health check needed… Beer Bad.. Gym Good!

7 06 2008

Ok… so it dawned on me today that I’m not the picture of fitness I was 2 years ago!

With this in mind and the recent improvement in my working situation i’ve decided to knuckle down and “improve” my health. My trusty housemate Ryan has agreed to drag me to the gym more often than the standard 2 times a week I’m managing.

Rule #1 - No Beer!

OK so I have some beer in the fridge and as of today I’m not allowed any more until I’ve lost a reasonable amount of weight to put me back in the the clothes I was wearing 2 years ago.

If i must have a tipple it’ll be a Gin (good stuff obviously) and tonic (slimline :S )

Rule #2 - More Gym

I’m only managing 2 trips a week at the moment which is pretty shit!… I’m going to aim for at least 4 trips a week and a 5th of just swimming! I might throw in some freeweights we have at home also!

Rule #3 - No Eating Crap Food

This means no sausages.. burgers… chips… etc…. Only salad.. chicken.. and low fat foods…! (If i have any of the above in the fridge/freezer they are fair game but i’m not buying any more junk. Also cut down on the high carb food.

Rule #3 - No Sugary Drinks

No sugary Cola…. no Lemonade…. no Red bull or Coffee with 8 sugars….

Try and take in more water daily!

HOW

I’m going to do a regular update on this blog detailing what I’ve done… I feel it will help me record stuff and help me be motivated and save myself looking like a lazy biatch!

I’ll start by saying my weight is “X” and each time I do a review I’ll say how much + or - the value of “X” I am.

Feel free to throw words of encouragement at me too! :)

GO ME!





London’s Porn Underground!

7 06 2008

So I was out in London a few nights ago catching up with some mates I haven’t seen in ages! The usual few pints and then a club routine. Having consumed enough booze to fog up reality we headed off to a local club recommended by the our helpful ‘Irish barman’…. with a few special blagging tricks I’ve learnt over the years I got us in without paying….(my services are available for hire :P )

So I’m standing at the bar filled with the usual smugness that goes with having once again blagged my way into a club. Usual form takes over and we start chatting to a couple of severely hot girls (from my point of view i saw this as karma rewarding me for being so awesome).

Now, I’d generally describe myself as very quick on the uptake, but the cocktail of beer and direct exposure to a group of hot women meant it took me a while to realize something wasn’t quite right. I was in a pretty posh looking club, standing at the bar listening to some pretty loud and repetitive music. Nothing strange there….infact that’s a good discription of an average day, but looking around, I couldn’t help notice that the ratio of hot girls to guys was astonishingly high.

Ok, so the easy answer that hit me was “this is just a posh strip club” and I shouldn’t order champagne without a lot of spare cash on my credit card….I was thinking it and I’m sure you probably are, right?…….Wrong!

Somehow using my “jedi like” reasoning skills I’d managed to drunkenly blag us into an exclusive event run by a fairly massive broadcasting company. We were at a TelevisionX party! The group of girls we were talking to turned out to be adult movie stars/fetish models!

The party ended up as an amazing night-out. The girls were all awesome to talk to, and really down-to-earth (and very hot…)!

That’s another fine mess my drunk mind has got me into!
