http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t75CmQiLk1c&feature

Finally the highlights were cut together of that Football Tournament that I mentioned about a month ago.

Liverpool FC & Celtic, two massive games. Look for the goalkeeper  in the orange

On the PCP front a nice boring week of work meant that cleaned out the travel weight and ass-sauce from all that Cathay reheated food. Weight front, hovering around 79kg so a decent 12% weight loss PCP to date.

Unprotected Coccyx & Why I can no longer be a Rap Guys Girlfriend

Titling this blog was almost as painful as my Coccyx right now.

Whilst I am not losing weight off my front, ABtasia remains ABsent, I am definitely losing it from the back, and hence the title issues. One of all our favourite songs from the 90's had a number of valuable lessons in it, lessons that I had lived with as a bible for some years.

It appears baby got no back now as these V-sits have left me bruised. As close friends would attest up until recently I had a sprinters trunk, helping to keep my centre of gravity low into the turns, this posteria amply protected my vestigial bones but no longer. I have been looking on the internet for Coccyx reduction surgery but all the sites are blocked from my work computer, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Vegetarian Food, Baggage limits BUT PROMISE NO KEBABS

Did you know that Vegetarian food, especially what passes for Cathay Economy, actually has no vegetables in it. In fact all food that can be served in transit consists of pasta/potato/salt/ass and mystery oil /cheese sauce in that order hence it was very difficult to meet the all the veg you can eat. Add to this the 4 time zones and >50hrs on planes and the diet suffered. I actually took a zip lock back of veg on the first flight and I think it helped me get the bulk-head cos the airhostess thought I was special. But there was lots of walking between meetings and definitely lots of walking to a few liquid only dinners although I promise there were no kebabs. .

So... the last 10 days have been slightly off the reservation, and whilst I have kept up the exercises and they are packing on the muscle, I have a feeling that I am drifting away from ABtasia. Sadly the photos are reflecting this, 25 days left needs to be tight, no travel plans at the moment...

Sure I was flattered maybe a little curious... first man-crush

It began like any other cab ride but I knew the driver considered it a date when he offered me his phone earpiece to clarify the address, it was warm and moist like a kiss, there was a moments hesitation before I took it, knowing what it meant to him. The fact that my parents, visiting from Australia were in the back seat mattered to him not a jot as he leaned over and gently squeezed my biceps.... "Strong Man" he said, then made a number of motions that wouldnt have been out of place in Stallone's Over the top

Needless to say I was flattered but had to curb the enthusiasm of my response with the wife in the car.

True story...


Otherwise not really feeling any progress this week but getting tantalisingly close to 80kg, I think I weighed in at 80.4kg on Thursday, although definition has not really been improving, in fact maybe even going a little bit backwards... nowhere to go but forward, I can see the end now

Serenity and the 4 Happy Wives

Never thought I would say it but back in HK and appreciating the relaxing serenity of a routine. Been much easier to stick to the diet this week. Very happy to say that now down to 81.3kg so progress is slowing but continues in the right direction. Even managed to go out entertaining with clients and avoid the carbs and alcohol, although Wagyu Beef teppanyaki that melts on the hot plate then again in your mouth probably not the going to be the other white meat any time soon.

4 happy wives refers to the 4 guys from work we have in the next session...  such good results from the boys in this batch that PCP is snowballing. Early days for them and there remain a number of grizzly haters on the desk at work... One in particular.... You know the sort... Skinny all his life, probably borrowed his girlfriends jeans... obviously he cant stand that we're stepping up... he's been particularly generous with the M&M 's this week.. It's not me I fear for.. its the newbies... stay strong newbies the path to ABdom is fraught with temptation.

ps. I have had only 3hrs sleep
