Burger Challenge

It's been a while... However, let us not focus on the negative... About the "Son of a bun" challenge - 2 buns 6 burger patties 12 hash browns An infestation of cheese 10 onion rings And fries 1 milkshake (no water allowed) ... 25 MINUTES TIME LIMIT... Last week, I went on a foodie venture and I was not disappointed. As far as food challenges go, I did not think that the "Son of a bun challenge" would be too hard. When I saw the other videos of the challenge it honestly seemed like it was a few slabs of meat, onion rings and chips... I mean, that is all that it looks like in the picture right?? Hell no!! Once you actually get cracking on the challenge, you quickly realise that there isn't an "easy" starting point because it all looks like a mountain of food and the carbs and grease start to mock you. I decided, the best place to start this monstrosity of a challenge would be to try and demolish the meat then work my way to the on...

Gym in 2018

Just like that, we are already into the third day of 2018. I want to remain optimistic about this year because it has started off looking positive.

When I was thinking about this blog, my main aim was to see if I could give any form of advice on what "should" help y...

Gym Thoughts

So, we are nearing the time where the gym will be so busy with new and old members, you will actually contemplate doubling up with someone on the treadmill. It's not just the treadmill though. There will be an absolute party by the weights. Every Tom, Dick and Harry will be trying to bench press triple their body weight, just so they look like a gym lad for their new Instagram picture which will probably get captioned with something along the lines of... "New year grind" or "This is my year, just watch."  To those people, I want to say good luck but in reality we all know it's going to be "The Grind" for about one month. After that month it's going to be back to normal for most people. By normal I mean, most people will go back to sitting at home and promising themselves that "tomorrow" is the day they will get back to it.   If you're like me, you will probably motivate yourself so much that you will end ...
