Tony Barnes' 2010 shapeup entry - ALL DONE - FINAL PICS p22

Wasn't me miss!

hahaha chris...funny as!
 
The legs look about right to..

Hahaha - that's quality Chris!!!

Well, weekend was long and tiring, and I was fairly wrecked the whole time we were there... Diet went fairly to plan, ate LOTS of cheese, rye bread and butter - I think I ate around 2kg to myself, bought another 2kg at the airport to bring home too

I did "balance" food/beer intake as best as possible, tried to be hungry the whole time to encourage a bit of tightening up

Anyway, had fun, now back to it.

Weekly weight in: 83.4kg



So it worked well enough - I am a fair chunk tighter in the mirror, so all gravy. I might actually hit better condition than hoped for prior to the break

Good skills Chris

Yes I bet you're tight after all that dehydrating alcohol  

Tell me about it, I think everyone else had the foresight to not be in work today...

Seems so long since i had a bad hangover. Either my memory is failing which is a bad sign, or i've been being sensible which is a good sign.

How was the 'dam?

You're not going to be like those two blokes from Human Traffic now are you

I'm more just a slow version of me thank hung over, no headache, etc...

'dam was great, managed to do almost zero tourist activity, and also didn't spend the earth. Our groups randomly bumped into a few people we knew as well, which was odd.

Cheese is brilliantly cheap over there - £4 a kilo give or take, ate loads. Then got stung £25 in the airport for 2kg of really nice stuff... I should be able to eat eggs next time I go, so will indulge in more pastries, etc.

Just had lunch - chops, cheese & broccoli again - though sainsburies basic chops... VERY fatty, not as nice as farmfoods ones, though would BBQ well!

£4 a kilo ain't bad. I'd rather have a kilo of chicken though. One day if the adage you are what you eat is true i might just turn into a chicken breast.

Nah, cheese comes first - 25% protein + 30% fat = win!

Ooh, they did have a lot of rare beef slices knocking about too... they were given a good home!

Last time i checked Holland was part of the EU so you shouldn't have been stung for any taxes at all when bringing goods back from trips etc.
 
You should have queried it, i bet the thieving baskets pocketed the money you handed over.

Ah, no, it was just bloody expensive cheese bought IN the airport... schoolboy error really!

Right, for those who are interested, tobasco sauce + water =

Really not a great plan, just tastes wrong.

However, it did go down a treat on my pork chops earlier so all good!

Ended up having a (tiny) pizza last night, and curry planned for later. Erm, more curries, pizzas, etc, lined up for rest of week too as it's Jess' birthday... will have to put more effort into this training lark to avoid adding fat this late on...

That said, training tonight, can't wait!! Ended up having 6 days off with that long weekend, so if I'm 7% off target, I know what to blame....

Well that Arnie video in General motivated me somewhat - to the point of half tearing a hamstring.... oops!

Other than that, quality session. Quick check with the tape measure and arms are up again - now sat at 16.5" pumped. Looking through here that's an extra 1/4 inch at the same time as dropping a bit over 2kg I think

Pretty happy with how I'm starting to look now, more fat to come off, but shape and size are onboard. More weighted walking should help the chub melt a bit, oh, and cheese...

There's only another 6 sessions left now... need to make them count!

16.5" is good going as you're quite lean. My arms look better and are more vascular but doubt size has changed much.

Im surprised your still cutting with all those curries and pizzas! I take it your not a three course man???

Jimbo

Cheers Jim, everything tightening up with a little more size = happy Tony!

If you're getting more vascular but size remaining, you must be shifting the chub & likely gaining too, again, all good

Hah, no, not a 3 course kind of guy, just 1 'kin big one

Tony how long does each session take you doing this duffel bag routine?

40-50 minutes - would be a bit less if I stuck to just doing the bag stuff, but once I'm done with a muscle group I go and pose the nuts of it so it gets a really nice final pump

Oh well... last night I had enough sausage and mash and lager such that I couldn't move in bed (will stick a photo up on mondya, bluetooth at home = dead), tonight I've just had an awesome curry followed by a chuffing skinfull of various drinks........ hey ho.

This whole experience has been really intriguing for me - whilst I've happily trained my balls off, sticking to "correct" eating (even my  "bastardised" version) is curiously tricky...

Looking in the mirror now I hope I've not sabeoutaged (SP?????) myself tooooo badly, a week of zero carb coming up for giggles prior to carb up (hmmm, 1 more night on massive piss first though ), fingers crossed

1am updating is the way forward!
