ok i went to an RPM class last night - what a buzz! it was awesome! much more fun and workout than spin classes i was going too.
I couldnt believe how tiny the room was for 15 bikes, they were literally touching each other. 15 bikes in a room the size of a double bedroom ... a small one!
Everyone fights for the ideal possy near a fan which was funny. Man you go through the water too and get an excellent workout. I even got the old workout hangover afterwards - though probably because i had to give my daughter water because she ran out. They do RPM every day except 2 which is awesome because it saves us from going cycling outside if its raining which is bonus and costs us nothing :)
So real cycling up and down hills for an hour a day and an RPM class for an hour a day should prepare us happily for the Lake Taupo Challenge! :D

Eating is so-so, but i feel better than im back on the gym thing again
 
Wonder how you are doing in poor-internet-connection land. The forum isn't the same with you missing for days on end. LOL.

Good luck on Lake Taupo. Is it this weekend?
 
arg i was sick as a dog. feeling heaps better today though for the first time in days.
Gonna give cycling a go tomorrow with my daughter at an easy pace, visit some friends on the way!

Ill catch up with everyone at a later date - apparently we should have semi-decent internet by next week.
 
Glad you're feeling better. If all goes well, by the end of the year I'll be in a new house. I'm fearing the loss of Internet for a while. Right now there is no cable at the house and it's very old. And sits far away from the road.

I don't know what I would do without the net.

It's a drug.
 
you're telling me Steve,

Im on dialup at home, hence why i havnt posted much here. its HORRIBLE!
Ive been down the road using the unsecured access point often enough just getting software updates that im worried they are going to notice that there is a van parked out front a lot with the number plate GEEK and a chick with a laptop sitting in it .... and whenever they are there for some reason the internet goes slow! :O

We should be getting decent home connection finally this week
 
Haha. Thank god for unsecured wireless connections. It has saved me many times.

Those people probably won't clue in, but they might think they are under surveillance. It's not a cube-van by chance...
 
ahhh nah not a cub van, too nice for that :)

Okay so we got internet at home
The out-laws came to stay the night, i got told 'oh you have put a bit of weight back on i see' though i wasnt wearing overly flattering clothes. I have cycled 50km on saturday but my sunday ride was cancelled because of the visiting out-laws. They have taken up some new gimmick diet thing which means eating ONLY organic fruit and vegetables. Some guy claims he got cured from cancer by doing so.
I questioned carefully asking about how much protien they were getting without raising hackles, just mentioned that they needed it for muscles like heart and lungs etc. Father-in-law mentioned he had lost a couple (wow no shit! he looked like a skeleton! hes 6' and about 100-120lb!).
Anyway Later on i 'accidentally' stumbled over some long term research on how bad that particular diet was for people whilst looking for legitimate stuff *G*.
When it came time for dinner lets just say they ate meat and dairy happily.

Anyway, yeah i gained some weight - ive eaten like a pig. I got an email last night saying that SPARC ( ) are doing an article on me and its going to be published in a local paper as well as on their website.
Eeek! im gonna need to do my hair! The dark roots are about 2" long now :/ Also loosing those extra few kg!
 
Oh yeah, i rang up the gym this morning. i asked if there was any places left in the RPM class tuesday. They asked me "which one? morning or evening", i replied "both!"

Sucker for punishment, time to get back on the wagon before i cant fit my clothes again! Im not going back! im not! im not!

Them are ass-kicking words! Holy crap I'd be pissed. You could not have possibly put on that much. There is no way you are heading back to where you started...that's a long road I don't see you going down. The #1 thing is that you KNOW what to do and have done it. No gimmicky diet needed. You'll get the extra bit off in no time.

I checked out the SPARC website. There needs to be more organizations out there like that. You should be very proud to be a part of it.

More glam shots coming soon...I can feel it!
 
Glad you were able to 'show them the light' when it came to their diet.

And congrats on the article! You've always got people knocking down your door for that kind of stuff.
 
nah i did regain a fair bit, probably about 15lb at a guess from my lowest. But theres no mystry in it, moving house and quitting smoking plus a couple birthday parties and a house warming thrown in. New town and lots of new and interesting Cafes. I enjoyed it but its time to stop again lol.

So i was up at 5:30am this morning and on the Spin bike at 6am till 7am.
Got home had toast for breaky, sammies for lunch.
Feeling ill atm because my period arrived which gives me really bad cramps. Debating pulling out of the evening class tonight but so far im still good.
First day of the aunty flo is always tiring and painful. But i got a curry and i cant eat it for dinner unless i do the other RPM class.
 
Was booked for thursday RPM class, But had to go sort things for my new car, i took it for a test drive, then was supposed to go another 15km north to pickup stools for my kitchen. So i canceled the RPM class (had to to get to get there by 6pm to sign papers).
Anyway then after leaving i realized i had left my phone with all the details in it in the car i test drove so i went back and the car yard had closed. So i had to drive back to the town i live in, then back out another hours drive to pickup the stools. Grr frustrated.
So to make up for it i cycled this morning back to the other town, picked up my phone, then cycled back to my town which was a round trip of about 57kms (30mi?). So i got my phone and exercise after all. yaay!
Unfortunatly i had to do that because last night after loosing the phone and having to do 3 hours of traveling i ended up buying JUNK FOOD! both BK combo and a small KFC combo throughout the ordeal.
I did have a xenical pill after the KFC when i got home because i felt so bad. I had them left over from when i was really really fat. So combined that pill and the cycling i should have hopefully call it even :|
 
Hi, Just thought I'd stop in because we have something of a shared passion for cycling. Besides, you have a fairly inspiring diary, although a bit daunting in overall length... Maybe someday I'll have enough time to read it all...

Keep spinning!

into each life a little kfc must fall... it'll pass... and the xenical will probably make it pass in a most unattractive sort of way :)

Congrats on the new wheels... :)

It will pass soon enough, and with Xenical, probally a little more quickly then it should.....
