Day 17 - Coast to Coast

I remembered to weigh myself this morning to a somewhat disappointing result.  I was 124.6kg, only down 0.7kg from last week.  In saying that, the weight I’m lifting is going up pretty dramatically every week, I’m still seeing a physical difference and its only 2 and a bit weeks in.  In the front of my head, I’m more concerned on putting muscle on to burn the fat for me but in the back of my head, I’m still going to be worrying about my weight.  So with that said, I’m not going to weight myself every week, just in between training phases (weeks 5, 9 then 12).  Just so I haven’t got the distraction of the scales in the back of my head, I can concentrate on the mirror and photos.

Normal rest day today.  And I’m all out of frozen chicken so I decided to buy my meals today.  One of the many advantages of living and working near the coast is there is always a good quality seafood shop just around the corner, so I relied on that to get me through the day and I wasn’t let down.  One of the other advantages of living where I do is I am half way between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast and when I’m working up the Sunny Coast, I always try and take in some of the scenery.  These photos was taken as I sat and ate meal 3.


 Bulcock Beach.  I love the Sunny Coast.



Stopped in at Sushi Sushi at Chermside Westfield on the way back the depot this afternoon because I know they sell brown rice and salmon sushi.  So I thought I’d have a bit of a treat!

Got home this afternoon and headed straight to the gym for cardio and lower abs.  Still struggling with the abs exercises.  I’m forced to rest-pause to get the reps out, but I get there.

From working up the Sunshine Coast by day, to driving 2hrs to work down to the Gold Coast by night.  I don’t really like the Goldy that much, mainly because it’s so far to drive but also because you have, like, a 75% chance of getting stabbed or shot and while set up on the side of the road at 2 in the morning, that percentage can only increase haha.  Don’t get me wrong, I know I have a few international readers and I don’t want to discourage you from visiting the Gold Coast.  It’s a great tourist destination, worlds best beaches, plenty to do, it’s just a bit scary late at night.
And I have a "big black security guard" to help protect me haha
My "6D" MagLite.  20 inches of lead and aluminium.
Anyway, that’s enough out of me for one day.  Chest and tris after meal 2 tomorrow, which will all depend on when I finish tonight and then when I wake up tomorrow.  Pumped to smash last weeks sets!  Until then…
