@mystic_knight: I have no doubt to your tech savviness, it's just lots of your posts give me a chance to use my gifs...so I do.

If TV's were a pissing contest, atm a 4k TV would be like being able to piss right to the end of the street. Not sure how useful that would be, especially on a windy day cos you would just end up with piss everywhere. But at least you could tell people that on a good day you could do it if you wanted. o_0

You think my logic is flawed, I think anyone who buys an xbox one has a flawed logic.

So by your own admittance your logic is flawed? Cos please correct me if I am wrong, but haven't you decided against cancelling your Xbone pre-order?

Which therefore means you are in fact getting an Xbone, therefore in your own words your logic is flawed, therefore Nintendo_man was in fact ...as much as it pains me to say...right?

Strange things are afoot at the circle K.

@Zorine: are there any updates on when the AU forum will be reopening?

I'll give you the hot tip...it's not. I reserve the right to be wrong.

There are instances where I run slower, I mean the last 3 runs I did I was up to 1 and 30 seconds off my fastest pace. The reasons can vary for this, such as diet, weather, how much sleep I got, sore muscles and one that I have noticed which is an important one is over exercise.

Overtraining is probably the biggest reason people lose interest and eventually stop training, even though most people wouldn't even know they have reached such a state.

Stress and workload at work/home, exercise frequency and intensity, adequate diet and the most important which is rest/sleep all come into play. Exercise and diet is just as much mental as it is physical. If you are not managing each of these things adequately, you will eventually come to a point which is termed "hitting the wall" and will become overtrained.

The key is to recognize the signs early and make adjustments accordingly. Those who don't adjust just usually make excuses and quit, taking the easy way out.

They always have good excuses though. ;)

@Chickan_117: Then measure distance. Small increases are an improvement, regardless of time. No disrespect intented but 900m is nothing, regardless of how fast you do it. Your main objective should be to improve distance, which will then add exercise time to your walk/run, which in turn will burn more calories and raise your metabolism, therefore resulting in greater fat loss. That is the objective is it not?

Time on occasion will be an incentive, but on other days it will be a mental hurdle that really is unnecessary in the infancy of a fitness programme. Set distance goals, with time as just a guide. Once you reach an acceptable distance by all means start to work on improving times, but concentrating on times when it is not needed is just counterproductive. Who are you racing?

Just a little fact to ponder. The body doesn't usually start to burn or use stored fat for energy until approx. the 20 minute mark during exercise. Therefore even if you exercise for 30 mins, your body will only start to tap into your stored bodyfat for the last 10 mins of the session.

That is why they suggest you do fat burning exercise first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. That way your body is forced to tap into it's reserves much earlier instead of using what is in the bloodstream from your meals built up during the day.

Set a distance then reach it. Doesn't matter if you walk, run or crawl, doesn't matter if it takes you an hour, just make sure you do it and try to enjoy it. Hell even stop to smell the roses if you want. Pushing too hard too early is a guaranteed way to fail. Feeling overwhelmed, cut things back a bit until you feel confident it's time to progress.

Like I said it's not a race, over time you will get to know by feel the times you can push harder and the times you need to tone things down a bit.Overall the weight you have lost so far is a great achievement, the hard part is to maintain it and make it a life change.

All that talk of hotdogs makes me really want a hot dog however yesterday I got under 95kgs. That's where I was before going to Fiji so I'm happy with that. Not bad considering I started at 118kgs two or three months ago. Well.. I think it's not bad. If you don't... screw you :)

http://chickan117.blogspot.com.au/

Also started back up on my 900m runs a couple of nights back. Man it didn't take long for me to lose all benefit I'd gained from doing it regularly. Took me 6 minutes as I had a killer stitch 3/4 way thru and had to walk. Left me wheezing and panting for about 3 hours and I still had a fucked up throat the next day. Luckily the run last night was closer to my regular time (5:34 last night, my usual was around 5:20).

So I'm on track towards my new goals. 1. Be back under 95kg by the end of this week... done. 2. Be able to run/jog 1km without slowing to a walk by the end of the year. 3. Be below 90kg by the time I go to QLD for a visit (13th Dec).

Sorry about the wall of text. I know noone asked but I felt like sharing anyways :)

If I was you I would forget about times altogether. When starting out times are meaningless. All that is important is what Nike suggest

Im going to cancel my pre order for xbox one.

Ordering another PS4 instead. IW stated the xbox one version of COD is 720p vs PS4's 1080p. Not paying $600 for an outdated console.

I may consider it when it gets cheap.

Starting to wonder what the **** I was thinking when I pre-ordered the piece of shit myself. I kinda got swept up in the thrill of racing on Bathurst in a Forza game.

MotoGp13 and WRC 3 are great racing games on the Vita. Just about to start WRC 4 which I'm sure will be great as well. Sound Shapes and Thomas Was Alone are worth a look too.

"Our ambition is to create these new experiences that join TV and gaming together."

Who are these fuckwits at MS that come up with this shit? I don't want my games joined with TV. All MS are concerned with is TV dollars, games are just a way to get their foot in the door.
