NZ - Akld - Ringside Boxing (Les Mills carpark)
WOW THAT WAS INSANE. I’m on holiday in Auckland right…and decide to check out what my DAD is doing for fitness, he couldn’t make it today due to injury…but I still went!
Twice a week there is a 7am 1 hour long fitness session at Ringside Boxing. My dad (51) goes (when he isn’t injured) twice a week.
I go, first time this is how it kind of looked.

Spuds an Endangered Species
I confess this article was taken from my work Corporate Wellness programme and clearly states who is the author and the reference. Please bear this in mind when re-blogging.
Spuds An Endangered Species?

Potatoes beware. Australian dietary guidelines are changing, and the experts have you firmly in their sights.

Adults that take the lift instead of the stairs when they don’t need to.

ADHD? Depression? Gut Flora is key!
I’ve been reading a lot lately about the correlation of gut issues and mental health.
The following article explains a lot of that and suggests Fermented veges…I’m no old school homebody so the thought of making my own sounds rough…but this article is pretty interesting.

Wanting to cure cancer naturally?
Many would have heard about Apricot Kernels and the benefits, they are now often stocked in Health stores. Then there are the people that say “don’t eat them, they contain cyanide”. This is true, but if you are a cancer patient, your cells behave differently!

Oops
Well it’s 5am on Saturday. I am wide awake. I haven’t slept it all night but I have been lying in bed (eyes shut) with vivid awake dreams…you know the ones where you are kinda sleeping but kinda awake. Essentially before my work out I took 4 caffeine pills and a serving of mesomorph last night. Yup last night I was a shaking - over caffeinated mess, I found it hard to keep it...
Mental Timeline of a 2k Test
2000 meters left: “I’m puke. Why the hell did I eat that muffin…”.
2000-1700: “HYFR FUCK MY GOAL SPLIT!!! I CAN GO 5 SPLIT SECONDS FASTER!!!! GO ME!!!”.
1700-1500: “holy mother of god, someone tell me why I row”.
1500-1000: “is this real life? Am I actually not even halfway there?!?! My arms are going to fall of before the sprint.”
1000-750: “TRIPLE DIGITS BITCHESSSS! HOLD ON, WHO JUST STCUK A BURNING LOG INSIDE MY THIGH?!? IM PRETTY SURE I HAVE SPORTS-INDUCED ASTHMA.”
750-500: “can’t… Breathe… Need… Air.”
500-250: “if I puke right now will it mess up my sprint? I think I’m in hell…”.
250 left: “SPRINT HELL YEAH, FUCK EVERYTHING, I CAN’T CONTROL MY LUNGS MY LEGS ARE GOING TO SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST ARE MY ARMS ACTUALLY STILL ATTACHED TO MY BODY?!?!? MUSTTTTT P…RRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!”.
Done: “did I actually make that noise?”

Grumpy
Was grumpy when I went to bed last night at 9 pm and grumpy now and I know it is because I ate crap on the weekend my body is paying for it.
I am craving a large vegetable juice, which I will make when I get home.

Total Mass gained: 1.7215 kgs

Hell yes HANSON
Yoh may be too young to remember but Hanson were my first and only music love growing up, I always felt disassociated wwith music other than them.
Anyway… In September they are touring Australia and I am going to their Coolloongatta show. I missed tickets to Brisbane as im clearly too slow.
You have no idea how excited I am. Their new album (2 years old now) is awesome! And I have only...

Dexa
For those new followers on Jan 6 I did my first dexa xray scan to determine my bone density and full body fat percentage at Body Composition Qld. I was 27.5% bf and 65 kgs (im 166cm).
I have booked in for my next scan for this Fri am. My goal was 22.5% but I don’t believe I will achieve that not due to lack of trying but my body appears not to be accepting nutrition like it should.

Ups and downs.
Everyone has them, and you know what im starting to truly believe the correlation is strong between poor nutrition and the downs. I see the amazing difference it has made to my mum. For my whole life mum has struggled with mental illness, but in the last 4 weeks since I’ve been training with her she has not had one sad moment. She is motivated, researching nutrition, she wants to start a...

Paleo post earlier
I’ve had a lot of comments about the Paleo post earlier today.
I don’t live a ‘Paleolithic’ lifestyle, I eat junk food occasionally (very), I reach for whatever is closest if I am unprepared, I don’t punish myself for it, and I eat high energy carbohydrates in the form of grains after I exercise to replace my energy levels. And in fact, I don’t eat a lot of...
APRIL

4. Visit home (New Zealand)
5. ANZAC day holiday
6. Goal assessment and reassessment month
And successfully attempted kayaking - a new sport! Long way off perfecting that though.

You know those moments, an awesome reflective song comes on (as in right now) and a not so distant memory of something fantastic comes to mind. They hurt when you know you won’t have more memories with that person again.

@Thatchickistragic - protein bars
Totally agree and was going to post about it today too. Last night I was given a sample bar from the shake bar at my gym for after my workout.
I’ve never got into the protein bar thing for the reasons in your post, full of crap!!! Thought I would try this sample, had it in halfs and it just felt heavy and not like it was serving a purpose.
Give me some wpi and electrolyte instead thanks...

Surrounded
Standing on the street corner surrounded By unhealthy people it’s gross. Smokers, people eating maccas yuck. The smell of a hash brown almost made me heave.
Wow how things have changed.
You are a direct product ( generally) of the things you subject your body to. Food, chemicals, water, exercise etc. Make it a bloody good choice.

Food is absolutely crucial to our immune system. The top 5 diseases we face in the first world are diseases from chronic malnutrition. We as western world are doing things fundamentally wrong.
