I'm in such a sad mood today, and no real idea why. This is not nice! At least I only have three hours left in work today.

Yeah, used to love a wander round tesco in the wee hours when I was between sets of night shifts. Only realised recently (when I arrived at around 12:05) that they have stopped being 24 hour in Tallaght

Yeh its cool having the place to yourself basically and strolling around no avoiding other trolleys etc , I didnt even know the one in Tallaght had stopped being 24 hours I normally go the one in Lucan its a quick enough drive from Tallaght, Clondalkin and it's a decent Tescos aswell.

I hate those days. Tuning out everything and watching a film helps sometimes..although you should probably wait till you get home before you do that. :P

What type of mileage are you doing that needs a diesel??
Most people think "hey Ill buy a diesel and save myself hundreds" when a decent reliable petrol will serve just as well and cost the same.

Yeh good point so many people are buying diesel these days who really don't need to they don't do the mileage to warrant a diesel but are lured in by the cheap tax and fuel but can cost more in the long run with dearer service costs and repair costs which are inevitable if you dont work a diesel engine hard enough, I think there will be a lot of small diesels filling garage's in a few years with to many people using them for pottering around to the shops etc doing journey that dont even give the engine time to warm up.

I myself only do about 7,000 to 9,000km a year and while I do ill stick to petrol.

Sorry I'm so late getting back about this. For work alone I'll be doing about 23,000 km a year.

Well then a diesel is certainly for you. Will that be mostly motorway driving?

Morning all havent been on much lately!! been busy struggling with my new diet and training regime haha lost 9 pound in a week though so im stoked!! its feckin tough tho! roll on week 2 haha

Esoteric_

That's a HUGE loss, mate, congrats!

I'm starting another 8 week bootcamp challenge tonight, but have to get 'after' pics done from the last 8 weeks I did. Managed to lose seven inches even though I slacked a LOT.

Started my day off well, though. A poached egg and smoked salmon on ryvita for breakfast, with green tea. eating the salmon has made me feel sick though, cause I hate fish. :pac:

Have a load of veg ready to be blended with some chilli powder to make soup for dinner after work, and three litres of water in work with me. Determined to work my ass off for this 8 weeks, my aim is to lose ten more inches this time.

Jesus 7 inchs that brilliant!! sounds like the diet is similar enough to mine!
no big meals - 5 small one throughout the day, one every 3-4 hrs approx 100gram of lean meat or fish and plenty of veg at every sitting! not the biggest fish lover myself so im struggling a small bit with that

I hate most fish, particularly salmon or tuna.

I'd say about half of that is motorway driving

Esoteric_

Seven inches isnt much considering how much I could have lost if I'd put in more work, I really slacked off tbh. My diet is probably similar to yours but less calories. I'm meant to be on 1500 a day, but I'm doing 1200 because I can go that low without my body going into starvation mode.

Urgh, decided to watch the basketball last night and couldn't sleep after it. Currently in that horrible wired but knowing I'll crash and burn in a few hours mode

I think most people hate fish, I struggle with it myself only one I can eat is smokes salmon really although I did buy smoked colley so going to try that during the week. You lot with your puney calories I've to take in 3,500 to 4,000 a day and I'll still struggle to gain weight stupid high metabolism.

Yeh see personally then I'd be looking at a bigger more powerful diesel engine, these days they can be got with cheap tax still have good fuel economy and allow for a lot more comfort at motorway speeds.

Holy crap, if I stick to 1,200 a day (which I will), you'll be eating more than three times what I eat. fcuking hell. swap?

Esoteric_

Haha, I've definitely been thinking about calories too much. I was writing out price lists, and instead of writing that the filters I sell are equivalent to 200 smokes, I wrote '200 calorie equivalent. :pac:

:pac: sure the smoothie I have every day pretty much covers your calorie intake per day, sure it's only 11 and I've already gone over 1200.

Jesus... I've had about 300, probably a bit less. :pac: Tbh I'm busy today so I'll probably only hit around 800 for the day. :pac:

How big? :O I'm only driving a 1.1 petrol at the moment, anything too much of a jump and I'll feel like I'm taking off! :pac:

Ah don't worry about it feeling like it's taking off after few hours you become accustomed to the extra power, for example I've a friend who has 08 Honda civic type s it's a 2.2 diesel tax is only about 200 a year, get great fuel economy with enough power aswell, spacious nice interior. If you doing that many miles your going to want a car you feel comfortable in and don't mind being sat in so much.

gregers85

I went from a 1.2 petrol to a 1.7 diesel! i was used to the car by the time i got home! you'll adjust to the change in know time!

Really need to start counting the calories. Think I'll wait till afer the exams though. Currently living in the library and not much canteen food I can eat so think I'll be snacking rather than eating full lunches.

Planned on spending most of today in the library but three hours in and I feel like my brain has melted. Have covered four out of seven topics though so not too bad.

Today I've had salmon, a poached egg and one ryvita for breakfast, two whole-grain rice cakes for lunch (wasn't hungry) and when I get back from training, I'll be cooking carrots, parsnips, peas, tomatoes, chilies and about 40g of chicken (tiny amount, I know) and blitzing it all with a bit of cayenne pepper, chilli powder and paprika to make a spicy soup.

Fair enough, I just don't like much of it myself. The only fish I seem to like that much is cod and haddock. Mackerel is all right too.
