What is FAT club?
Well as its the xmas season for over consumption, how about a 'training' list of what has been eaten and drunk to excess in the last week  I'll kick off...

STG: Clear head
LTG: 8 pints of an evening without vomiting or a hangover

M: Drive to training course in Windsor: Zinger meal en route, large dinner, two pints and glass of wine
T: Still at course, Full English brekky, big lunch, Dinner, Pint & two glasses of wine
W: (ditto above, but +2 pints)
T: Drive back, hungover whopper meal, decent dinner 1 glass of wine
F: Works Xmas do. Kicked off with a Leffe at 11:45 - I gave up about 8pm some 7+ pints later... I was the only one drinking white at the table. So I drank it all 
S: Fuck. Snow = no planned climbing trip - and no hangover (STG!). Take away Jalfrezi to keep up cholesterol levels, one beer.
Su: Attempted day of purity (nice bottle of Rioja winking at me though...)

Excessive meal count: 11
Unit count: c.40+ (not a huge amount but I am geting old..)

[GCW]

Shit, I really don't want to write down my horrendous diet and unit consumption!!!   

[tomtom]

Shit, I really don't want to write down my horrendous fiet and unit consumption!!!   

And it'll only get worse next week!

[GCW]

Yeah, maybe I should do it next week just for the shock value

[tj]

Unit count: c.40+ (not a huge amount but I am geting old..)

Errr... 40+ units is a fair amount isn't it?! OK, I know it's not hardened alkie 'bottle of whiskey a day+++' type stuff, and it is the season of excess, but I wouldn't want to be putting anywhere near that much away long-term...

[tj]

Apologies if that comes over as overly judgemental, I'm just genuinely interested in people's attitudes to the sauce...

Yeah - it was meant in the greater context e.g. 20 pints (40 units) a week is alot for me but not a great deal for many people... as a Schtuudent I worked out I had a few 100 unit weeks... My mean is probably 15 units a week... One Leo-Sayer can easily rack up 20-30 units..

ANYWAY.

Fess up TJ... whats your FAT week tally??? 

[fried]

I don't want to talk about this week, the only thing I can tell is:-  Sunday - Full English with leftover KFC.

[tj]

  Called me out there. I'm also currently enjoying the Xmas festivities and for that reason have intentionally avoided thinking too hard about my consumption, but have been out every night since Tues- so probably knocking on for 40+ units too...

You're doing better than me if your mean is closer to 15- why does it taste so good?!

[GCW]

as a Schtuudent I worked out I had a few 100 unit weeks

In Fresher's week I drank 106 PINTS!!  Quite a proud acheivement, although I was quite ill the week after.

How about stating what days you ate/drank healthily/in moderation - and we'll just assume the worst for the rest? 

[Falling Down]

M - Work/poorly with remnants of cold - nothing to drink.
T - Flew to Aberdeen, workday then 2 pints of Guiness with dinner.
W - Work am. Then a very looong client lunch at the Marcliffe, Aberdeen. 2 double Tanqueray's and tonic before lunch (King Crab, 5 Oz. Fillet, Cheese and Biscuits) then several glasses of Meursault and Cotes de nuit village during the main & a desert wine to finish with the cheese. Then a snooze. Then out on the razz in town, two or three pints of Stella then several large gin and tonics in a bar. Bed at midnight (I think)
T - Slept in 'til 9:00.  Work, then another work lunch, this time a massive Thai banquet.  Couple of Tiger Beers then a couple of glasses of Verve Cliquot then several glasss of Gewurtztraminer (Good With Thai... geddit).  Went to airport - runway shut.  A few glasses of red wine in the lounge. Airport closed.  Taxi back to hotel.  2 Sancerre's with scallops and 2 Pinot Noir's with 225g Rib-Eye as a treat for not being at home.
F - Up at 4:30 to try and get a flight.  Managed to get home at  4pm.  Then a dinner party at ours, 2 Stella's then more Champagne, Red Wine then several Stella's. Bed at 3:30am
S - Special Christmas haircut at Toni and Guy (it was a present).  They give you beer whilst they wash your hair and massage your head. 2 bottles of Budvar whilst a lovely young lady cut my hair.  Had a takeaway for tea with four bottles of Warsteiner.
S - Walked dogs. Tidied up. Went to climbing wall (climbed like sh*t - what a surprise!). Currently avoiding the fridge.

Unit count - no idea 
Large meal count - too many.

Did I enjoy it?   

Back to austerity after Christmas.

me too.....

my desire for bearniase sauce  ( 250 g butter and 3 egg yolks person to pour over near raw steak or duck breast) is completely out of control, and being injured has meant no aerobic exercise for 4 weeks.. my trousers are tight.. in the wrong places.. I'm actually gagging to get on my bike more than for a beer... which is good - as I'm working on call. On calls are good.. in some ways.

Macclesfield. I've had two before in Buxton and Manc as presents from the wife and enjoyed it each and every time.  Sometimes it's nice to be pampered and it's always a pleasure to watch people highly skilled at their craft whatever the vocation.

I fear its emptying the glass recycling that gives it all away. The amount of Gin I've 'sampled' is quite shocking (Hendricks is still the winner).

I made the fatal error of passing the odd bins on Abbeydale rd. where the staff are very nice and knowledgeable, I left with a case of assorted wine. Shamefully I had to return on Saturday to replace said case. Eating hasn't been 'too' bad yet but there's the Office party on Wedneday which starts at Midday and the curry house is booked in the late evening

More that any behaviour by Graeme/Joe should be used a a defence to excessive consumption - those 2 paragons of restraint and moderation

Make sure you bulk up in the intermediate days with a healty dose of pies...    none of those broccoli sandwiches this week...

[tomtom]

Erm.. to the (thankfully?) uninitiated, what is the "Alderson Picalli defence."
Is that where Alderson blames Picalli at th same time as Picalli blaming Alderson?

Or is ignorance bliss in this case?

[shark]

FAT club is so fucking lazy its not even got the willpower to make it to Week 2

[Sloper]

OK thursday last a fricasse of pheasant with peid de mouton mushrooms and a confit of pheasant, to drink a bot of nice burgundy.

Friday, scallops with smoked tomatoes and watercress with a nice white burgundy then grouse with roasted root veg and truffle and a haut bage liberal 2001.

Saturday, selection of smoked fish with salads and an interesting white from the south of france followed by consomme and then woodcock stuffed with foie grase and a very nice gevry chambertin, cheese and then some armagnac.

Sunday. roast saddle of venison with foie gras and mashed celeriac and a bot of Susterris.

Yesterday, steak rossini (using the last of the foe gras) and a 2004 Batilley which was a little young.

Tonight.  Confit of duck (home made) with rosti and some nice burgundy.

Throw in a bot of nice fizz, some cocktails, a few G&T, the odd beer, a bit of rum, scotch and port and there you have it.

And Friday will the epic

But I did pull some plastic today.

Pah! That would be typical OCD fit club behaviour.

[Norton Sharley]

FAT club is so fucking lazy its not even got the willpower to make it to Week 2

Or we've just met our objectives already?

I'm just now considering my tarting regime for the next few months aiming to peak with a fat trip to Font at Easter.

Howzabout a thin and long weekend in Spanish sun in the next few weeks as well?

  I'm on it. Will look into flights etc and email Karl too. Dont think Rob has spare holiday.

[nai]

After my first post mid-binge weigh in this would appear to me the place for me, +3lbs in a matter of days which makes me half a stone heavier than my summer fighting weight.  Oh well, at least the year will go out on a high in one way 

Question is, do new years resolutions start after Saturday or do we wait until after the bank holiday?

[tomtom]

I'm sorry. My fat club report includes some fit club activities... though as on balance there is more fat than fit its going here...
