VC in 2011

The Red Meat God is calling... =P~ :grin:

But seriously.... I've found that a good lump of rump, grilled in the George Foreman (or equivalent ), keeps in a click-clack container in the fridge for a good few days. I slice off a chunk for dinner, and my wife has started helping herself to it as well... sliced thinly, carpaccio style, with avocado and sour cream on top of mexe-beans warmed in the microwave and she's happy!

Can't say that I've tried fish the same way, not sure it'd keep as long but no reason why it wouldn't cook-up the same way.

[VampireChick]

MmmmmmmMMMMmm red meat!

Yep shopping day tomorrow, so I'll definitely stock up on some quality steak and lamb. I'd like to get in a dose every three days maybe? (Either that or a good hearty salmon steak).

This Saturday's cheat meal will be a 250g steak, kumara chips and an egg =P~ =P~ =P~ =P~ =P~ =P~ =P~ =P~ =P~ =P~ =P~ =P~

:clap: :clap:

Cheat meals feel even better than winning the lottery!

[VampireChick]

Agreed. They're pretty damn orgasmic.

[VampireChick]

Today turned into an unplanned day off. Was going to have an afternoon boxing session but the old 'bloated tummy syndrome' reared its ugly head. So will continue with my back and shoulders session tomorrow morning and a boxing session in the afternoon.

TODAY'S EATS

M1: 1/2C oats, 2T pineapple, P.shake

M2: 80g tuna, 1C peas

M3: 100g chicken, 2C green veg

M4: 2 kiwifruit, P.shake

For dins it'll be 150g salmon, 3C green veg. Dessert will be 100g cottage cheese (and maybe 1t of cocoa for flavour).

Mmmmm cheat meals! I've been having lots of them lately - gotta eat lots to build up strength!

[VampireChick]

Mmmmm cheat meals! I've been having lots of them lately - gotta eat lots to build up strength!

I'll interpret that as "VC one cheat meal is not enough. Go ahead and eat that 250g salmon tonight. You'll need it for strength!"

MMmmmmm

You're a very good interpreter - that's exactly what I meant :nod:

Yay for boxing... Bodyworks doesn't offer a Combat/ Fight-Do class any more and I miss them... to the extent that I was talking to one of the PTs at Bodyworks about organising a casual combat session. After all, they invested in a blingy Everlast ring, with ropes and color-coded stools and all the trimmings, so one of these days I'll get back into it.

[VampireChick]

Yeah Exodus doesn't offer it either. They have this pathetic circuit in the mornings but it has minimal boxing. In the end I had to join a boxing club. One of the staff at Exodus accused me of 'cheating' on them

[runveerun]

Yay red meat FTW! :grin:

As you can see I kept it pretty light, still have this cold hanging around so I'm certainly not my strongest (although normally I don't think I would have gone much heavier anyway!). Had a seminar in the same building as my gym which was awesome, so stopped in again for a 30m cardio session and some abs when I was done.

[VampireChick]

Right! Have been without an internet connection for two weeks now (I've been going a little mad, sad but true) but at least now I have a shiny brand new Mac It's a thing of beauty.

I had to have a minor operation a month ago and it left me feeling like I was pregnant or something! Seriously, I'd never felt to fat and wasn't feeling 100% to get my usual decent workouts in. Managed to train about 5 times per week but they were pretty low intensity. But I'm finally back on track now and have been getting back into it in a good way.

Got back into boxing last night and it felt awesome after a couple weeks off. That's all really.

[teamfatboy]

now I have a shiny brand new Mac It's a thing of beauty.quote]It must be if you're online at 0613... glad to hear you're on the mend AND back on track :-)

Haha you've got that right! I know what I'll be doing this weekend (again, it's a little sad isn't it?)

Other good news, my doctor and I thought I might have some sort of intolerance to gluten or dairy. Gluten came back negative and I've just changed to soy for the sake of it. I've also been having Metamucil (yes I know there are better options for fibre) and I have to say I feel like a million dollars. No more bloating in the afternoons, which is why I had such a good boxing session last night. Small changes make a HUUUUGE difference.

[Chillicat]

Glad to hear you're feeling better. It's always good when you work out ways around health issues. If the Metamucil is working for you, then that's what matters.

[VampireChick]

Decided to take the weekend off since I was finishing off my antibiotics. Turned out to be a good idea, as I was filled with energy today.

Just a boxing class this afternoon. Asked my teacher when I get into sparring. Told me another month or so, depending on how I progress. Basically my foot work is a tad shite (due to my natural unco-ness) so will see how I go.
