:ditto:

Great work TFB.......See all that hard work you are doing is paying great dividends....

Makes all the 5am morning cardio worthwhile really :clap:

[teamfatboy]

Thanks ... now I just have to test the "won't-power" for a coupla weeks living out of a suitcase.

And I have only one problem...

DARK. CHOCOLATE. PEANUT. M&Ms.... I'd never seen 'em before but in the first airport I got to, there they are in their purple packets, taunting me! :shock:

But I shall resist! :nod: :pray:

[marky65]

Just think that M & Ms are bad and every packet is 1 hour on the treadmill....on top of your normal cardio..... :twisted:

You will do it TFB....... :pfft:

I want, I want, I want...........

[poos_n_wees]

Dark chocolate peanut M&Ms?! Are they new?

EDIT: Just googled them.. as yummy as they look, they're 220cals for the smallest packet. Not worth the extra effort to work them off hey!

[biggurl27]

TFB I rather cunning plan would be just to get a few and bring them along to Nationals :grin:

[marky65]

That would be so that you can watch BG eat them in front of you after she has competed......BG that is evil....lmao :twisted:

[Flamer]

OMG.... :shock: there are Almond M&Ms????? I want, I want, I want......... =P~

[teamfatboy]

Oh yus, I worked out precisely how much extra time they'd take on the bike... and stepped back.

However, I may have to grab a coupla packs to save for later.... much, much, later. Of course, no-one on here would know how long they last before they go off... ain't never seen them last :pfft:

Thurs 2 oct

0500 - 46m cardio, 450cal... and happiness, hotel gym's finally got some dumbbells (all they used to have was one miserable stack machine)..they stop at 20kg, but that's better than nothing.

Of course, now I have to USE them...maybe after work :nod:

Real good progress so far bud, keep it up 8)

As one of the unlucky ones that also started my annual diet, I have a similiar problem. After about 2 weeks of no bread,muffins or other pastries I can't dare go near a bakery as the smell of the freshly baked bread just about hypnotizes me and I get this uncontrollable urge to jump in there and start buying all the no-no's. Just writing about it make my mouth water :doh:

Alas your not alone in the struggle to resist!

Wah! Was at the airport last night, flying from A to B as you do, and decided to try the evil dark-choccie peanut M&Ms - and none of the airport shops had them... regular ones, peanut ones, and almond ones, but none of the dark choccie ones, and now they're out of reach

Still, I just checked into another hotel and this one will deliver an exercycle to my room if I can't be assed to walk up to the gym - one less excuse I can trot-out.

So, better go do something about it!

The Diet Gods are watching over you, little one.

Sunday 5 Oct

0700 - cardio, 45m elliptical, 550cal

(retrieves laundry from hotel washing machine, puts it in dryer)

0745 - bis n tris

DB curls - 10x 12kg, 8x 14kg, 6x 18kg, 12x 14kg

Cable curls - 10x 4 plates, 8x 5 plates, 6x 6 plates, 12x 4 plates

Tri press-down - 10x 4 plates, 8x 5 plates, 6x 5 plates :oops: 12x 4 plates

Bench Dips - feet out: 10x, 12x, 13x, 14x, 15x.

(retrieves laundry from dryer)

Hotel's got great gear, two Life-Fitness ellipticals, treadmills n recumbent bikes, a Concept2 rower and dbs up to 20kg, plus a stack machine that looks like it has some good options.

0900 - brekkie...the most yummy scrambled eggs I've had in a loooong time. Musta been too much butter or something, but OMG. So, i'll be walking most of the day to off-set that!

Only problem with that plan is that I'm in London England now, and it's absolutely pouring with rain....and cold. It'd be a shame to waste a Sunday (my only day off before I fly home) doing nothing, but I may as well take the shampoo with me 'cos I'm gonna get soaked the moment I step out the door :nod:

The English don't seem to understand about M&Ms, so yes P&W, the diet gods are indeed smiling on me...

[teamfatboy]

Still Sunday 5th...

Spent most of the day walking off breakfast, in the rain! OMG London's expensive - was at Camden Markets and a hot spiced apple-juice (the girl had given up making smoothies because the weather was so bad!) cost $NZD 7.50, served in a styrofoam cup from a billy-full boiling on a gas stove!

Must have covered a fair few miles, tho - made up for that yummy breakfast. Going to go do a chest workout now, maybe log a little more cardio - from what I've seen so far, this town just doesn't get 'low-fat' cuisine!

Lol - your not wrong TFB. On my last trip to London I put on 4kg (def wasn't muscle!). I was only there for 3 weeks!

[biggurl27]

My last trip to London I lost over 20kgs :shock: haha I was a shocker there! Camden markets rock!
