Helped a guy trying to carry about six plastic bags of groceries on his bicycle. All the hanging weight from the handlebars was making it really difficult to pickup the last two from the ground.

Well yesterday it was driving 300 kay south to pick up an XB ute, original 68 thou on the 302 and driving it all the way back to Perth without a problem, but then the downside came today when the power steering rack on my BA went after replacing it less than 2 years ago.

Spent all day removing all wiring from my car.. an intrigued neighbour came over to gawk.. and brought along a six pack

I didn't touch a beer but accepted his praise of my build

That made me feel good today...

Today I started a new weight loss/diet program. I've been told by a doctor my health needs to change, and I've been taking steps in the right direction over the last couple of months and have lost about 7kgs so far...however, I still have a long way to go (nearly 40kgs). I've been taking steps to improve my mental health over the last few months and now feel I'm in a place where I can step up the intensity of my weight loss.

I've previously used Max's supershred hydroxphase protein shakes, along with low carb/high protein diets to lose weight...but the protein shakes taste hideous and made my dry reach, so always found it hard to stick at long term. Recently I've been put onto Optifast as a meal replacement and weight loss program. It's actually approved and recommended by doctors and dietitians, as apposed to random protein shakes, to actually provide proper nutrition while enabling fairly rapid weight loss.

Today is day 1 and I've had two different flavours of the shakes for breakfast and lunch...and I'm impressed! The coffee flavour tastes like an iced coffee and the strawberry one reminds me of strawberry nesquick! As I mentioned before, my biggest struggle with these sorts of diets previously was the taste and texture of the shakes, but these shakes are yummy. I feel confident that these new shakes, along with my much improved mental state, should help me achieve my goals this year. I'm excited

i had ago on the opti fast, lost 20 kg,

, taste is ..... ok

, better than some of the other shake diet drinks.

**TUF_302** · 19-03-2015, 06:25 PM

Filling the Patrol with diesel and it costing under $120, and knowing i wont have to visit the servo again for another 700+ks is nice to!

NTF6 · 19-03-2015, 06:37 PM

Saving a $190 on my F6's first service by supplying my own oil..!!!

DJR David · 19-03-2015, 06:46 PM

Putting a deposit on a smoke xr6!!!!!

Spurious · 19-03-2015, 10:11 PM

Getting quoted $90 for a part from Ford, then finding the exact same part at autobarn for $22.

That was yesty, but a good feeling like that lasts for a few days!

Also quitting smokes 23 days ago feels really good, but that's another thread (literally).

CQB-241 · 20-03-2015, 12:12 AM

Knowing my XR8 is scheduled to happen (according to Vista) sometime around 27/3/15.

mik · 20-03-2015, 12:25 AM

replacing upper control arm bushes on my antique lexus limo and one ball joint getting a nice wheel alignment and having a hugely good effect on the drive ability of the car .... woo hoo , feels like a newey !

Nice work! Did you keep it off afterwards? The taste is so much better than the protein powder I'd tried before. I haven't really felt hungry that either, despite playing squash tonight. So far, I feel like I'm onto a winner

mik · 20-03-2015, 03:01 PM

Im embarrased to say ......... at xmas time i fell off the wagon and enjoyed myself too much ( i love my food ), and did put a fair bit of that back on, but climbing back on the wagon this week,
i think its tougher to be 100% commited when you have given up most of your other worldly pleasures

old age sucks(smoking and drinking ) , but we must keep trying

No embarrassment required mik. I smoke and drink - not as much as I used to. Took me 3 years to drop 30kg, got 20kg to go. It's a long slow road dropping the weight. ****, but it's easy to put on!

Best feeling ever was cracking the under 100kg boundary. Way to go yet.

Cheers mik!

**MercurySilver** · 20-03-2015, 03:09 PM

felt good today knowing its friday and that i have a day off on the weekend
will do a bit of quick food shopping and then home to potter about on the car drinking a few ciders onsat
i like planning ahead knowing that youve got it mapped out

plus bacon and runny fried egg rolls for sat brekie always makes you feel good

**FoxtrotGolfXray 5.0** · 20-03-2015, 04:49 PM

Made the decision today to go with our novated lease supplier to source me a FG X XR8.

All of the paperwork is done and I should have an indication of expected delivery date either Monday or Tuesday next week.

That made me feel pretty good!

Oh, and as per my last post, tea at the pub tonight to top it off

Have a great weekend guys and gals.

Found the one pop rivet that was stopping me from removing my rear 1/4 glass that was fighting me for over an hour!!

That made me feel good...

Franco Cozzo · 20-03-2015, 06:28 PM

Friday night BBQ with the boys tonight, talk business, talk crap, drink beers, watch movie and maybe play some video games.

Good people, good times

MITCHAY · 20-03-2015, 09:30 PM
