Kiwi crush back in the day ripped
Watermelon chill goes hard
But I think nowadays my refined pallet ? likes standard blue
Has to be Gatorade but ?

Remember the hectic grape one too?
Haven't had em in years.

Use to get on the gatorade powders.

But nowdays tryna cut the sugar down so gatorade smart water.
Like the mango one and the berry one.


Fierce grape ? haha yeah that stuff was legendary
Yeah same here ,I was drinking one every day no better than drinking a coke

Those cold infusion teas are ok if you get sick of drinking water and want something with a little flavour

You rate those teas?
Havent tried yet.
Not sure if it'd be my thing.

I wanna try.

They’re alright ?? Something different
Just something with some flavour and no sugar.
I’ve been trying to drink nothing but water

Likewise bra but u get sick of it after a while hey.
I have a coke zero every few days to mix it up.

Me and my brother went through 3L of dr pepper the other day for the UFC.
Delicious.

Tastes better after staying away from standard soft drink for so long.

Got a good workout cleaning a condenser in the middle of nowhere yesterday for 4 hours in 43°C heat (in the shade.)

Legend.

I remember you're a fridgie aye?
Lots of work this time if year huh...

Yeah I am, I'm an engineer and PM now (have been for several years,) I stopped in for an unrelated matter and wound up doing that. Sausages don't complain, but retailers do!!!

Absolutely. A lot of places would have fallen over yesterday and today. Nuts.

Whats a Pm

Project manager.

Here's my contribution for the older, overweight and unfit pigs. You know if that's you because you see your self in a photo or home video and think "Sh**, what have I become?" Your knees ache and you get occasional sore backs. You have a gut sticking out and your cheeks and neck are bloated. You're sick of the bigger size shirts being skin tight.

Now.....I'm 50, played quite a high level in the younger days but was never a good trainer or committed. Which is why I am like I am.

I'm a big framed guy, 6'1" and got to 126kgs. Now that's heavy, but I can sort of get away with it a little because I have a larger frame. 130kgs is just a stones throw away. Last time I was under 100kgs, was in about Year 10 at school. Anything near that is certainly possible with hard work, but I would seriously look like a bad case of HIV.

So, for the past 6 weeks I have triggered something in my mind. Just decided I was sick of being sore and sooky. I started walking each day and eating smaller portions. Gone is the alcohol, chips, chocolate and lollies. I have had a beer or two with mates watching the cricket or Hockey or UFC, but not a beer or 6 anymore.

After the 6 weeks, I am now 116kgs. That's 10kgs in 6 weeks, I'm not setting the world on fire but that's not my aim either. I haven't set a number or a timeframe, just a ideal that I want to feel better and look better. I still play touch footy each Wednesday Night, even as a fat guy. I started my walking at 2 or 3 k's of an evening, but now I drive to work with my wife in the morning and then walk home, which is 10k's and Im doing it easy. That and the smaller food portions has been easy.

In the next week or two I'll start some push ups and sit ups and just build on that. Like I say, I'm 50 and I'm not a fitness freak, nor do I want to be.

So, for those like me that always mean to 'get around to it', well get up tomorrow morning or even this evening after tea and just go for a walk until you start sweating, then go home. Get some fresh air. Walk with the missus and chat, or throw your headphones on. Once you start and do a weeks worth, you really start to feel better and look forward to it.

Great post my brother.
Youre exactly right.
Everything makes a difference.

I hope u keep posting and keep us updated in this thread with your journey.

Some weight training would go well if u wanna go that route. @willow knows what's up... Found a post of his the other day about what u eat when ur watching footy and he wrote "a protein shake whilst I pump my guns"

 

[underdog]

Just keep turning up Guys... thats the key - and yes, many kudos to @Demps for keeping everyone on their toes here.

It's moments like this that crop up in your facebook feed that remind you of where you came from - and this was a photo I used to be somewhat happy with - Underdog, youngest puppette, and Mrs Underdog from 2 years ago... 

Then on a day where your're feeling down on yourself, flat, fat, out of energy, you need to look at stuff like this from a week ago from my local ParkRun, or out with the young lad -
 

And you realise - holy S**T, I've made significant changes.

So Lads, particulary the older guys here who are doubting themselves - JUST KEEP GOING.

And..

Make sure you document your journey - one of my largest regrets is actually not taking enough photos at the start of the journey.

You've all got this boys - you've been through worse... we are Tigers supporters after all... 😀

 

[Demps]

Man @underdog
Your transformation is unreal.

Keep at it brah, you're absolutely killing it.

An inspiration.

I haven't stopped running since I joined the military at 17; a few stretches, a run of 7 to 8 km a day, 200 sit ups, 100 push ups and 100 chin ups.. I am nearly 57 now and still do the daily work out and don't envisage stopping.

I manage injuries but still do the workout. I have an ankle/achilles issue and slight twinge at the moment but a warmup and deep heat (very careful with washing hands afterwards) does the job. I tell youngsters who don't run in the rain - that you won't melt or in the heat - that you need to run technically.

Along the way I've done a few Kokodas, the odd Black Cat and a Cross Borneo. I tried the gym but disliked it; my sons go to the gym but I pay the membership (I don't believe their gym visits are all about exercise). I tell them membership to my club starts with enlistment into the military and its a lifetime commitment.
