Back on Track

Well I can't say I've had the best or most relaxing weekend. In part its because the in-laws are in town and staying with us....all of 'em. And they've commandeered my sofa. Which is directly in front of my telly. I've also been busting my gut attempting to catch up with my exercises. And after two double sessions yesterday and today I'm pretty much there. Need to do a bit more tomorrow and I will have done every push, pull, jump etc on the program. Also got on top of all my other personal crap this weekend, paper work, fixing the house etc. So at least I should be able to sit back and genuinely say I'm on top of my shit, all of it, by the end of week three!

You may have noticed me mention my my favourite subject of steak and wine on a number of occasions, and it might be easy to think I've been naughty on the side, however I've only made one teeny mistake on my regime in terms of amount and regularity when I missed a dinner and ended up having a small packet of oatmeal biscuits instead. But back to steak, I think I've already decided on day 91, I'm going to catch an early flight from HK to Nagoya, hop on the train to Takayama and hunt down a farm shop I went to before at the end of last year. The shop has a "restaurant" which is amazingly similar to my old village dentist's waiting room circa 1977, but here's the thing: They sell 700 gram, thick cut, A5 Hida beef steaks at around 100 bucks a pop. Chopped, whacked on a charcoal BBQ and washed down with their giant flagons of ice cold nama beeru and I challenge any man, any man not to fall in love!

After a bit of a miserable weekend, I'm just going to hold that thought for a bit....

  1. ey Roland...I do not know the taste of a Hida Beef Steak or ice cold Nama Beeru but I am up for any challenge. Keep up the great work and keep those thoughts in your head...they are worth looking forward too.

  2. Don't think you can double up for much longer. As the workouts get more intense you'll just have to let missed days go or you'll end up wearing your body out.

    Hit the workout on the day, everyday!

  3. You're doing well to keep blogging and keep on the exercises Roland. Gambare! Think how great it'll be to eat that steak with a truly lean and healthy body.
