Anyone have a BBQ at the weekend?
I went for a walk here - five miles along the top of the cliffs, wild camped and had a BBq, woken up by the skylarks to a glorious sea view, then walked back a somewhat longer way on Sunday.
I'm fooken knackered now.

I went to a mate's BBQ
the Tesco's Finest (pronounced Finessed) burgers with jalapenos, plus cheese with chilies, and hot sauce went down very well.

I fucking love chillies, me.

Me too, me too
None of this plain burgers with processed cheese shit for me.

Finessed? I'l tell you about finessed.
What I carried all that way was a pack of Morrison's 'Peppered Steaks'. Which turned out to be "minced and shaped steak with a pepper topping" - sodding burgers in a dust jacket. I was all in shape for a juicy steak.

You pikey mug.
How much were they? I'm going to guess about £2.50 for two.

What were you expecting? Chateaubriand?

I have no idea - I sent one of the servants.

I BBQ'd pork belly stuffed with sausage meat and coverd in herbs
it was epic.

Also my first graze box has just arrived, it seems rather small.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:03, Reply)

I also had pork belly
So so so good.

Vipros has got one of those.

I can't any more
I've lost too much gut

indeed
it's been reasonably easy which is nice.

I've damaged my ability to eat gluttonously when the need arises however, which is disappointing
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:13, Reply)

Bah
I find losing weight really rather difficult, and all too easy to put it back on again. Mind you, I'm a very lazy cook, and it doesn't take much convincing for me to order a pizza.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:15, Reply)

I was a fat fucker for a long time
too much drinking and robust portions at home, followed by too much drinking and uni food.

the mrs and I both put on a load of weight a couple of years back too. didn't realise quite how much until looking at photos, which is kind of odd.

she joined weight watchers for a while and it had a knock on effect on me which has meant I've lost a load and seem to be keeping it off regardless of what I eat.

Showing your subconscious desire to gobble more meat
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:38, Reply)

I was thin at uni, but bulked out when I moved back home for 6 months
Breaking my leg and being fed by my folks (who insist on clean plates, and give far too big portions) didn't help.

I've been getting back into cycling now the weather's good, and try to eat smaller portions. I'm also starting the 100 pushup and 200 sittup routines. Hopefully I'll see some change soon.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:23, Reply)

I need to get my bike fixed so I can do some cycling
I surf as much as possible (4 hours yesterday :-D ) and swim once or twice a week
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:24, Reply)

That's awesome!
I'm about as inland as one can get, so surfing's out. Plenty of countryside for me to cycle through though, and I was looking at maybe getting a beefier bike for hitting the trails.

How many?

( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Mon 24 May 2010, 10:26, Reply)

How many am I on?
I've only just started, and I'm rather pathetic at pushups (no upperbody strength, it's all in my manly, muscular legs). Yesterday I started, and did 20, broken up into 6, 6, 4, 4.

Way to go.
Actually, very sensible. That sounds like my start-up routine, every time I get back into it. The pace soon picks up if you just keep at it. (Memo to self: start doing sit-ups, lazy git.)
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Mon 24 May 2010, 10:35, Reply)

I hate gyms, so anything I can do at home (wahey!) is a bonus

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:39, Reply)

I was doing that for a while
got to the 3rd week and it got hard so I stopped :-D

have got one of those cruncher things at home (mrs insisted) and I could do with toning the belly, so should really be doing more sit-ups
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:44, Reply)

Yeah, I have a bit of the ol' spare tire going on
So will do some sit-ups and push-ups in addition to my cycling.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:47, Reply)

sounds horribly dull
I'd get hacked off after about 40 I reckon.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:34, Reply)

I find gyms annoying and boring
Hence I either cycle in't countryside while listening to music (on cyclepaths only!), or play on the ps3/360 while on the exercise bike. The pushup/situp routine doesn't take long, which is good.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:38, Reply)

I find the same
even listening to music the exercise bikes and runners etc. were dull as fuck

yet I can happily swim 40 lengths without getting bored.

I just don't like people that much
And all the muscle jocks took up all the weights machines.
Mind you, the ultra-hot Polish lasses were a perk.

there weren't that many hot women at my gym
at the pool however..... :-D
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:49, Reply)

I'm the opposite.
Swimming bores me to tears and everyone is always in the way but at the gym I can zone out with my music on.
( girlinthehole, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:58, Reply)

^this
also, because I'm paying for it my innate stinginess ensures I actually go regularly.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Mon 24 May 2010, 11:27, Reply)

What I do
is drink like a fish and take loads of drugs, and never take any exercise bar walking up the hill to my office, and down it again at the end of my day.

I look fabulous as a result - you should try it!

I've always been slim naturally.
But there was a picture of me before Christmas and my face looked really round and my suit wasn't fitting properly; I hadn't noticed and it took that photo to get me back in the gym.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:16, Reply)

that sounds excellent
my graze box arrived too. I had my first last week. I too was mildly disappointed, but you'll be surprised how long one of those little punnets keeps you going.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:05, Reply)

Well free this week and 1/2 price next week, I'll make a decision after that on whether to continue

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 24 May 2010, 10:07, Reply)

or just convince others to sign up
and you get a quid off

A company sends you 4 pots of nuts, seeds, dried fruit, olives etc every week
for you to graze on.

Radishes!
On the way back I bought a small punnet of radishes at someone's garden gate. I haven't had radishes for years. Bloody marvellous they were.

I have never bought radishes
or eaten them in more than a miniscule quantity. I think I like them.

Crow's Daft Experiments #72
Hypothesis: It is possible to cook an omelette on a BBQ.

After one too many G&T's yesterday evening I decided it was too hot in the house to turn the oven on just to cook a couple of sausages. I have also never thought sausages cook properly in a frying pan. My thoughts turned to the dormant barbecue outside.

Ten minutes later and in the absence of any charcoal I had a small wood fire going in the middle of the barbecue, on which I managed to cook not only sausages but also an omelette. In the end, I had more fire than I really needed, but common sense, a lack of food and some slightly burnt fingers helped me decide it wasn't worth trying to cook anything else on there.

Nevertheless, this experiment proved a SUCCESS. _{I need to find a more exciting and fulfilling way to use my life...}
