No guilt, no guilt! Just squeeze in what you can, where you can--"all or nothing" is a bunch of bullshit! WORD!

Ok you Kiwi--give me an Aussie Man Joke! :rotflmao:

An Australian man walks into his bedroom with a sheep under his arm and says:
"Darling, this is the pig I have sex with when you have a headache."

His wife, who is lying in bed, replies:
"I think you'll find that's not a pig but a sheep, you idiot."

The man says:
"Shut up, I wasn't talking to you."



Australian Etiquette
IN GENERAL
1. Never take an open stubby to a job interview.
2. Always identify people in your paddocks before shooting at them.
3. It's tacky to take an esky to church.
4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.
5. Even if you're certain you're included in the will, it's rude to take your ute and trailer to the funeral.

DINING OUT
1. When decanting wine from the box, tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so as not to bruise the wine.
2. If drinking directly from the bottle, hold it with only one hand.

ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME
1. A centrepiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist.
2. Don't allow the dog to eat at the table, no matter how good his manners.

PERSONAL HYGIENE
1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this should be done in private, using one's OWN ute keys.
2. Even if you live alone, deodorant isn't a waste of money.
3. Extensive use of deodorant can only delay bathing by a few days.
4. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a no-no, it alters the taste of finger foods and if you are a woman it can draw attention away from your jewellery.

DATING
1. Always offer to bait your date's hook - especially on the first date.
2. Be assertive. Let her know you're interested: "I've been wanting to go out with you ever since I read that stuff on the dunny door two years ago."
3. Establish with her parents what time she's expected back. Some will say 11:00 PM, others might say "Monday." If the latter is the answer, it's the man's responsibility to get her to school on time.

THEATRE ETIQUETTE
1. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up after the movie ends.
2. Refrain from yelling abuse at characters on the screen. Tests have proven they can't hear you.

WEDDINGS
1. Livestock is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
2. Kissing the bride for more than five seconds may cause a drop in your popularity. (Excessive use of the tongue is also considered out of place)
3. For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A tracksuit with a cummerbund and a clean football jumper can create a tacky appearance.
4. Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for the occasion.

DRIVING ETIQUETTE
1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if your gun's loaded and the roo's in your rifle sight.
2. When entering a roundabout, the vehicle with the largest roo bar doesn't always have the right of way.
3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
4. When sending your wife down the road with a petrol can, it's impolite to ask her to bring back beer too.

LOL no probs. I got quite a fright with your new profile pic. I thought, "who is this intense scary looking wrestler-type guy???" but then I saw it was you! LOL Wow, you can see the difference in your face now when compared to your last profile pic! Great work!!!!

Wall sits have kinda taken a back seat, as have my weight sessions this last week. I have been flat out with work and only managed a couple.

But that changes this week! I've just finished a weekend of spring cleaning so everything in the house is in order. Tidy House: Tidy Mind! Stay tuned for further wall sit attempts! LOL
 
Days 91 & 92: Friday and Saturday (48 days remaining)

hmmm, I need to get back in the habit of writing my entry first thing in the morning after my treadmill session. Once again I have to cover two days in one entry...

Had a great morning Cardio session. 60 minutes whilst watching a few recorded TV shows from the week. Heroes is back on over here and it was a double episode. The session just flew by!!!

Well, lost the plot when I got home from work. Had such a great week that I thought I should celebrate, and that thought was the end of my willpower for the night. Spent the evening drinking by myself singing along with the stereo turned up to full. LOL well, not really funny, a bit sad really.....

As to be expected, Friday night took it's toll on Saturday. I never managed to get any exercise done, but I did get a huge spring clean done in the afternoon so now I feel all organised and motivated!!!

SUNDAY (continued)

Managed to get a half hour on the treadmill (running today at 9kph - YAY!) before heading off to my folk's place for dinner. Managed to burn the same callories as my usual one hour due to the increased speed. Will have to do this more often to increase efficency!!!

Had a great birthday, my parents had some friends over as well (my Bday is also their wedding anniversary) and the food was ALL healthy :) Drank a few wines, but not as much as my folks did LOL My folks are so funny after a few drinks, Haven't had such a great laugh in years!

Lunch: 3 fishfingers and 2 slices of wholemeal bread
Afternoon Snack: 3 crispbread and tuna
Dinner: Grilled Snapper + veges
Evening Snack: fruit salad (desert)

MONDAY
Didn't sleep well last night. The dogs were barking at someone who was out walking the streets until the wee hours. We are rural, but on a main road so we get wanderers sometimes.

Very desk-glued today due to all the paperwork I have been doing. Finished it and up-to-date as of a few minutes ago!!! Ready for a serious Treadmill session as soon as the wife is finished hers!

Breakfast: 1 egg omlette + 1 slice wholemeal bread

Dinner: mixed veges + 100g prawns
Evening Snack (Planned): Prot-shake with banana


Hoping to get back into the habit of a daily post now everything is up-to-date ;)
 
Happy belated B day Paul. Looks like things at work should be calming down, so that should be a little weight off your shoulders! Partying with the parents... priceless! When ever my EXTENDED family gets together, my dad and I "race" to see who can get their "buzz" on first!!! It's good to see the entire family, but glad it's only a few times per year!! :D Keep up with the great progress!
 
Yeah Bro, sorry about missing the B-day, but lets face it, at our age we don't always choose to remember them anyway right?

Still killing th egym and sticking to it huh? Good deal man, we both started this thing with some monkeys that we're dropping off our backs here.

Peace out.

Yup! I asked the wife to not mention my birthday, but she still got me a card in which she wrote some beautiful things that left me with a buzz all morning.

I don't know about you, but I still have a Gorilla that needs dropping!!!
