          This is going to sound a little weird  but it occurred to me the other day that one of the drivers for getting in shape was the IH gear. I felt like that there was a disconnect/disparity between very durable clothes and a poorly looked after physicality.

            Not weird at all. My 801s and 704s were getting a little snug around the waist so I knew it was time to go back to calorie-counting.

            Conversely, my 666s now don't fit my thighs due to weightlifting 😕

              small price to pay, and you don't want to be rocking a jeggings look 😉

                True. They'll be on the market soon. Will pick up a pair of BB raws instead I think.

                  Yeah, the BB cut works well for us tall folk I think.

                    Yeah I think so. I picked up a pair of BBod which are lovely but I sized up when I shouldn't have so I think I'll sell them also and go TTS.

                    Back on-topic: I snatched 40kgs yesterday which is fuck all but a PB for me so far.

                      (TTS works.)

                      Congrats on the PB, lovely nommy endorphins.

                        Thanks. I only started recently and have just been working on technique. My coach thinks I'm at the stage where it's good enough to start adding weight.

                          I've started a new diet to shrink my out of control Santa belly. It's called: "move around more, eat less." So far, seems to be working. Down 15 and only 85 to go!!!

                            The problem is I hate moving around a whole bunch, it's exhausting, and eating is pretty much the greatest thing ever!!!

                              I hear you brother.  Just cut soda and as much refined sugar as you can.  That's a start but will help a lot.

                              I love to eat so I add things to my diet vs taking away.

                              Add: flax seed (to cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, etc)
                              Add: Metamucil (don't argue just drink it… it's not just for constipation but for cholesterol and better pipes)
                              Add: Teas.  Green tea, peppermint, ginger or whatever you end up enjoying.

                              Simple stuff but will help all of us.

                                Thanks man, I've started doing the fiber drink in the morning and it actually does make a difference, in the last month, my cholesterol has dropped by over 50 points. I'm also trying to add the flax seed, but it's hard because I'm not a big breakfast guy, I've gotta find some way to work it in at some other point in the day. I love tea, and I need to drink more of it. I've been trying to add lemon to my water to help my over worked liver  🙂 I just really need to get my cardio on…I just feckin' hate it  😉

                                  Maybe pick an event and start training for it? After taking most of 2011 off from running, I decided, Jan 2, to run a full marathon in May. Now I'm training for a half in October. Good thing about those distances is once you've paid, you have no choice but to train!

                                          Forget the gyms and do what Doug did. Buy some kettlebells and move on to Girya Sport or equivalent. Forget the aerobic style workout with kettlebells and do it simply.

                                          Doug, I'm glad it's working out for you, and I should start training more, but is just a additional strenghtening for me…
                                          Did you get those competition kettlebells yet? They're soo much better balanced. They take lifting to next level...
