With the holidays over I started working out again; the sweating and burning felt good. My wife bought me some whey protein today so that was a surprise. I am guessing that she felt sorry for me having to change my plans in regards to joining a gym. Daniel will be starting play school next week, twice a week and that means getting a taxi twice a week too. So adding another 3 taxi trips to a gym every week will put us into the red, so out with the gym idea.

I am reviewing my workouts and considering to stay with Turbulence Training or making my own workout program. I am throwing out all the pros and cons of continuing with TT and the joy and learning experience (hit & miss) of designing my own workouts with the workout knowledge that I have already achieved.

I will of course let you know when I decide.

Ok I am going to shoot, I am currently watching the Long Way Down DVD that I got while in Scotland. It follows the second journey of actors Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman from John O’Groats (Scotland) to Cape Town (South Africa).

I am now back in sunny Indonesia. I had a fantastic holiday; the weather was good, the beer flowed, got to see lots of family, the beer flowed, got to see lots of friends, the beer flowed, had some good old Scottish food and the beer continued to flow er ok lets cut to the chase! I let loose on the availability of John Smiths, Tenant’s Special and some watery tasting Japanese beer.

The carbs rolled in in the form of bread and potatoes!

In the 3 weeks I was away I worked out about 3 times…… I really enjoyed my holiday and I didn’t get on the scales once, that is until this morning. Now looking at my face you can tell a lot and as I gazed upon my face in the mirror this morning the word that I used to describe it was “plump”

Ok with out any more delay I will let you know that my let loose holiday cost me 4kg :: cringe ::

[Quick Subject Change]

I bought a mountain bike today, it’s a Polygon (Indonesian make), 21 speed, gripshift, nothing special but will do the job. I believe this will restore my much needed intervals into my workout program.

So what about the 4kg, well I’ll mark it in at todays weigh in and I’ll be starting into my workouts tomorrow and back on course with my eating so I am thinking, not to worry, if this causes me to get to my goal in 8 months instead of 6 months then so-be it! The point is that I know how to burn fat and build muscle, so now all I need to do is get back in game, focus and get ready to sweat and burn again.

I don’t know what’s up with me today, I am really irritable and to put it blunt pissed off, I just wish I knew what I was pissed of at. Well I know a few things that are getting underneath my skin that I wont utter here as so not to damage or hurt anyones feelings.

I think what I need to do on Friday after school is go out with my wife and son to the mall and have a nice cheat meal and then get a few (a few is anything from 2 to 12) blonds and then stick them in the freezer (not the fridge) with my big thick blond drinking glass and then when the frost sets in I can crash in front of a movie; haaa sounds just what the doctor ordered ::grins::

I have lost some weight in the last two weeks, I have gone below the 8th weigh-in of 125.5kg(276.6lbs) and am now weighing 125.2kg(276lbs), so all is good.

I am going to be looking at my workouts today and see what changes or variations that I can make. I have two more weeks here before I head home to Scotland for a holiday. While in Scotland I will be going to a gym so I will be able to do more as I will have lots of equipment to play with. I will also prepare a workout for Scotland taking advantage of what the gym offers.

Then on my return to Indonesia Susan and I will be joining a gym here so, I’ll be set and I am really looking forward to pumping iron and burning fat!
