Tomorrow is the SuperBowl

I have a couple of special days during the year and the NFL SuperBowl is one of them. I have certainly been looking after myself since my return from holidays, so I have planned a bit of a blow-out tomorrow and really looking forward to having some Nachos..... Outside of that, the beer is cold and some protein snacks have been arranged. So just who will win? My tip is for the Green Bay Packers to defeat the Steelers....But this is the SuperBowl

Post Xmas

 

I hope everyone had a better Christmas than me. Unfortunately, my body has chosen the last 96hours as it's time to expel the demons being stored within. On Christmas Day, I spent 18 hours in a position best described as being sick. Here I am on the 28th, and still ill. I cannot even say it has been self-inflicted as a beer hasn't passed my lips over the Christmas break. And I havn't eaten a lot either so my post-Xmas back into shape scenario shouldn't be too hard, as long as I can get over this bug.

For those of you that did have better Christmases, than mine, my suggestion is to get your head right and not make too much of a good thing. Between Xmas and New Year, you need some discipline to keep the life in check. If you have two weeks of blow-outs, your increase in weight, and decrease in motivation may have the potential to drown you. So take some small wins now to keep you in the game, so when the New Year is finally over, your desire and strength is still there.

Finally, Facebook is a wonderful thing isn't it. I will let you choose your thoughts on this status from a company specialising in the Fitness industry.

 Posted on December 23rd. " Something to think about as you enjoy your xmas drinks...Drinking completely stops your fat metabolism for as long as your body takes to use up and get rid of it. Also, Drinking also dehydrates you, raises cortisol levels (goodbye muscles), raises estrogen levels (hello hips), lowers inhibitions (pizza anyone?). Combin...e that with the fact that alcohol promotes abdominal fat...storage (of all places!)....."

I bet their customers had a wonderful Xmas.

It's My Party

Well, this old boy turned 45 yesterday. I shared my celebration with two close friends who were having their engagement. Best of luck Ash and Jarade. It was an amazing night and totally enjoyable.

But the best part f my day, has been reading all my Facebook messages. I joined Facebook to keep in contact with some of the wonderful Legends within the Bodytrim community, and yesterday they showed why they are legends. Nice words, wonderful messages....I really did appreciate them.

Dragons and Curly Win

The St George Illawarra Dragons are the NRL Premiers for 2010 and I certainly celebrated long and hard last Sunday. Here I am exactly one week later and back in control. I have had the best week from a Nutrition viewpoint and also have had an amazing seven AFD's. I knew I was burning the candle at both ends, and while eating well and maintaining exercise, was drinking just too much and negating the efforts. Beer does have a lot of empty calories, and if you have too much, the fat burning process just stops.

So I have gone a week without a beer, and don't plan to have a beer until next Saturday when I am hosting a Vinyl Room party, so that will be 13 straight AFD's. I had a challenge on Saturday when I took some mates to test a new Micro Brewery, but enjoyed their company while they sampled the brews. Just shows it can be done I guess. I need to drop 5 kilos and the weight has just been added around my waist and my love handles. Time to get going again. Sculpting through EPOC sessions and burning fat through a controlled diet.
