It's Fucking Nips Again!

It warms up a bit and it feels as if Summer is close and then it gets fucking nips again! To be honest I don't give a shit at the moment as I'm too busy in the gym busting my bollox trying to go sub 80kg. I think that I'm looking pretty sharp but everyone is telling me that I look ill and malnourished! With 7 days to the end of the month I'm currently at 81.8kg. So sub 80kg here I come and then I can re-assess where I need to be to achieve that super ripped physique.

This was me at the start of the year ....

If I can get pussy looking that fat then the Thanet girlies will be like flies around shit once I unveil my chiselled bod down on the coast!

So when I'm shredded and sooper tanned I'll look damn good bowling along the beach in a pair of these ...

I've had that urge to spend some cash and treat myself to a couple of small things so got myself some Nikes from good old Amazon. Unfortunately, unlike moneybags Caan, I can't yet afford holidays in the Bahamas etc!

As usual my house is looking like a pikeys caravan as my living room is full of clothes, kitchen cupboards and work surfaces, chairs, bikes, guitars, etc. I'm in the process of tidying up our small kitchen and after removing the old floor tiles the surface of the concrete base was all over the shop.

Luckily as I was busting my nuts on the cross trainer in the gym I heard on the radio that Wickes were doing 3 bags of cement for the price of 2, so off I went. While there I had a mooch about and spotted kitchen cabinets being sold for £9.99 each in the clearance section. Fuck me ... I bought four of them! All I need to do now is move the remainder of the shit (tall fridge, tall freezer, more cupboards, tumble dryer, etc) out of the kitchen so that I can lay a concrete base (as long as my cement mixer is still working). Watch this space for the fun and games that are about to ensue ...


The trading has been a bit hit and miss and that's probably down to the start of the flat season where it takes a while to get into the swing of things. It's particularly hard trying to trade the sprints as things change so quickly and quite often the camera angles on some tracks don't help either.

-£13.07. I had a relatively big loss early on where I nicked a few quid in the win market, switched to the place market late on and had over £300 on the third only to realise that the trainer had 2 runners in the race and some cunt had decided to switch the cap colours. I backed the blue hat close home only to find out that it was the other fucking horse! What a prick! I didn't feel too happy but surprisingly I didn't scream or shout (probably because I was too knackered from my gym and diet). I knew that I would get it back over some period of time so just continued as normal. Once I had got the loss to under £200 I felt slightly happier only to lose another £50 odd and go back to minus £220+. In the old Xchange days we would often equate this to swimming in the ocean and being swept out to sea by a big motherfucker wave. You then start to struggle against the tide and gradually make your way back to shore only to find that when you are almost there another fuck-off wave comes and sweeps you back out again!

I put my head down and plodded on and had a bit of luck in one of the Irish races and got the loss back to under £100 and from there it was a case of just chipping away @ Wolves, nicking a few quid here and there and jumping on the spinning bike in-between races.

-£18.20. Struggle Sunday!



25/04

+£316.61. Probably my busiest day of the year so far with 59 races traded. A nice steady day with minimal losses.

I was watching a few inspirational weight-loss videos on YouTube and realised that I could add a few things to my diet so I scooted off to Asda's and picked up the usual gear (chicken breasts, eggs, bananas, etc) but also bought some rice cakes, high bran cereal, lactose free milk, coconut milk and yogurt.

I'm currently down to 81.2 kg from 95.3kg at the start of the year. I'm going to go down to 78kg and then re-assess my diet and training program in order to retain weight and hopefully shed a little bit more bodyfat.

Pictures of me in my pants to follow shortly ....



26/04

+£256.00. I had a good steady start to the day but come the evening I had other things distracting me and also felt absolutely knackered. I didn't make much progress and actually quit and hit the sack ultra early.



27/04

+£95.71. A bit of a hit and miss day today with plenty of wins and losses.



28/04

+£210.25. I didn't make much progress in the early afternoon but then improved in the evening and managed to nick a few quid.
