Derby Day

We had a great day at the races yesterday, the weather held off and we enjoyed the sunshine in the grandstand. Had a few wins with the syndicate so we came out in the black.

City2Sea fun run

Kathryn and Paola have decided to run the City2Sea fun run on November 13th which raises funds for men's health in conjunction with movember.
If you are interested in joining them in our maxxfit team please let us know so we can organise the event.

Kathryn will be training for this event unlike the run for kids where she just rocked up on the day and suffered for a week afterwards..... And blamed Paola for making her run.

See how happy running makes you feel

Workout and measurement update

Since I have been back training I have lost 2kg's.

Today I weighed 78.7kgs and my body fat is 18.7%. My goal is to maintain 78kg and drop to 12%BF and have a VO2 max of 60+ (VO2 max = fitness level), currently I am sitting at 53 VO2. I have given myself until December 17th to accomplish these goals.

Holidays and weight gain

Back in the old days when I took a holiday with lots of eating and drinking I never gained any weight. Those days are over. When I arrived back from NZ and jumped on the scales to my surprise I weighed 2 kilos more than before I left. Now that I am back into the swing of things it is time to go hard 6 days a week.
Mon, Wed, Fri: Weights
Tues, Thur, Sat: Running or some kind of cardio.
No drinking alcohol from Sun-Thur and a strict healthy fresh diet.
It has been a week since I started and I have lost 1.5 kilos.
Will be posting the workout sessions and nutrition in the days and weeks to come.
Moral of the story; play hard and enjoy yourself but expect to work hard to get back to where you want to be.

Congratulations to the All Blacks

I can feel the pressure of a nation come off the shoulders of the players and management staff of the All Blacks as I write this post.
Well done New Zealand, best World Cup ever, without a doubt. Planning for England 2015 now....
