I’d have thought the endorphins would give me bounce, but currently they are being surpassed with tiredness and fatigue.
I joined the gym on the 6th, and finally succeeded in passing my 2 week flake-out hurdle, but because I have a bit of time up my sleeve, I went one step further..

I saw a Nutritionist last week.. out of pure curiosity, and somehow managed to sign myself up to his suggested diet
He hooked me up to a biostat machine to get all my reading things.

Unashamedly, I’ll let you in on them..
The ‘Normal Range’ is based on my height (and I presume, sex) – which, as you see below, I fall right in the ranges, but want to change which end of the ranges I sit..
Height ~165cm
Weight ~ 56kg (Normal Range: 54 – 60kg)
Body Lean ~ 41.4kg (Normal Range: 42 – 45kg) <–that’s muscle
Body Water ~ 53.4% (Normal Range – 50 – 60%)

Basic Metabolic Rate / Rest ~ 1442kcal/day (exactly what it should be)
Average Daily Calories Req ~ 2276kcal/day

Here’s the clincher in both weight and percent
Body Fat ~ 14.9kg (Normal Range: 12 – 15kg)
Body Fat ~ 26.6% (Normal Range: 21 – 27kg)

Was I happy with that body fat? Nooo!

My nutritionist, Dave, has set goals for me, and written a meal plan. And believe it or not, I am following them. I’ll write why soon..

Oh, the 6 week goal

Lose 5.7kg of Body Fat – 950grams/w
Increase 2.5kilos of muscle – 400grams/w
Basically, he want’s my bodyfat down to 17%

Eep

“Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands” (Legally Blonde) – I have a plan for 2010, which helps avoid any jail time for me

It’s been quite some time since I put anything of any real substance on my blog, so I decided I should get back into the swing of things, literally.

2009 is behind us, thank bloody god. I’m sure I can safely assume many of you are glad to see the butt end of it, too.
For me, there has been some really high points, but the low points made it a huge struggle to get to the end of.

Let me explain why..

I write the beginnings of poems in my head all the time, and sometimes I even doodle them down on pieces of paper. Often, I just forget them. This one has been unwritten for a long time..
Originally I began to write it as if it were my words, but now, I prefer them to be a written ‘dedication’ to me

Please don’t fall for me, dear
I’ll only hurt your heart
I’ll only run away from you
When things are getting hard

Please don’t fall for me, dear
I’ll only drag you down
You’ll believe I am what you need
But then I will not be around

Please don’t trust your soul to me
Don’t let yourself in deep
Shelter it from my warm embrace
Or it’ll be forced to weep

Please ignore my promises, dear
I’ll only let you down
You’ll soon realise I just say them
To keep you waiting around

I know you think I love you, dear
The words I utter sound true
But I’m not sure I know their meaning
They just seemed overdue

I know I spend time with you, dear
But it’s only when there’s no one around
My life is really busy
And to you, I will not be bound

I hear your heart dying, dear
In every word you speak
But you need to understand
It’s not a life with you I seek

I wish you didn’t love me, dear
Then easy this would be
Instead your eyes show your pain
The anguish I wish not to see

Our time is at an end, my dear
I thank you for what you gave
Everything you had in you
Without a question made

I kiss you one last time, my dear
Your lips so tender and warm
I promise myself I wont miss you
It’s time for me to move on

Once (about 2.5 months ago) – I spent a load of money on a flashy album full of professional shots of yours truly.
Why? why not. Before bits go sagging ang bagging and hanging southward, I wanted to immortalize them in their current state

I’ve only scanned a few – I may scan some more in time, I may not.

Here’s some

A few more are here

Meet Oscar
He thinks he’s a dog

I’ll tell you more about him soon
