 see the trick around here is you start your car five minutes before you get into it turn the aircon on full so then by the time you get in hopefully it's cold and it's not too bad in here so that has worked. Wearing my favorite favorite tank favorite single ever I've had this for like two and a half years now and it's as good a condition as when I first bought it it's fucking mint I gotta say it's called a dry fit racer back by TMJ and I actually got it when Master Joe's came to Alice Springs and did a seminar here in any time fitness and they gave this to the club manager back then who's Lindsay and he was a little bit shorter than me and this is a large I think it's actually extra large and so I got it so hey there you go I should be training back but my lower back is feeling a little bit tender from the squats last night and also I did quite heavy rack pulls earlier in the week so I don't know we'll see what happens when I get to the gym but I think it's gonna be arms man you know I've pretty much trained everything except for calves calves and abs so I know that's that's a favorite workout of a lot of people or ab workout anyway I've never trained abs my entire life it's not because I I think I'm too good to train abs it's basically because just haven't haven't really taken the time to sort of learn some good ab workouts and and hit them and the fact is is that when I don't actually have visible abs definitely don't feel like training them so I know where some people are coming from when they say that because I feel the same way and I've never well I mean I might have trained abs like five ten times in five years whereas I've trained everything else at least once a week so let's see what happens maybe I might do some ab work at the end just to see like my condition because it should have improved already I never like I might say I'm dieting hard guys but I never go to bed hungry I mean and that's just part of it if you want to be you want to start getting shredded you there's gonna be times when you go to bed hungry and I have actually been doing that the last three days so that is kudos to me and hopefully we'll see some definition coming out but until then I'll speak to you guys soon I'm him and up on fucking pre-workout feels good to have some caffeine to me I tell you what one thing I'll never get sick of is having an automatic game it's boss man it's boss but I mean someone can just fucking get over the side anyway but actually this is a caravan park next to this complex the complex actually used to be a hotel a hotel complex now there's a caravan part next door and that is gonna be completely bold and subdivided into 40 new sections so that people can build brand new houses so not only is the complex that I'm living in gonna be brand new but there's also gonna be a 40 house little cul-de-sac sort of thing with brand new houses awesome two-story things it's all set back into that into the McDonnell Rangers which is an amazing backdrop it's fucking sweet so you know I think I think I've bought in the right area here and I hope I bought in the right area over in Queensland so then both of my properties can go up in value and I'm not gonna sell them what I'm gonna do is refinance or get my properties revalued and hopefully have a little bit of equity generated in the houses and use that as a as a deposit for a next place and leverage the fuck out of myself again and keep doing it keep doing it but as long as I don't make a really really stupid decision like I mean at the moment I'm I saw a story on 60 minutes the other day about a lady who lives in a mining town her and her partner her and her husband whatever and they started buying real estate they obviously had decent paying jobs they could they had the borrowing power and they started buying real estate now that that town was built on the coal industry and when the coal industry went to shit well pretty sure it was cold anyway it doesn't really matter it's a mining town basically and so the industry left so did everyone else and now this lady is stuck with all of this brand new like real estate that she's just built in the last few years with with no one to and bought sorry she bought at the top of the market and not only have the prices gone down no one wants to rent them and she's completely fucked so you know rental something like vacancy rates is extremely important because at the end of the day it's a business your the money you're paying out to pay the mortgage the money you're getting in is the rental return that you're getting so you want that rental every single week of every single year you don't want four weeks eight week period where you don't have anyone in there that's just gonna cost you money in the long run and it's not gonna be a good investment basically I mean yeah it's not a good not a good investment so both my places would be rented out like that which is good the vacancy rate here in Alice Springs is actually kind of high but as you can see over here this is the backdrop that's my unit over there it's got the ranges of the backdrop it's fucking it's pretty sweet maybe it's wishful thinking but I've made calculated decisions and I know what I know where I want to be in like 15 years I want to be portfolio of properties and having enough passive income so that I don't have to work for someone else I don't want to be in the rat race I don't want to fucking work my heart out for someone else to make money I mean it's drilled into us to try and get an awesome job and work for someone else but if you've got an entrepreneurial spirit that is not gonna be enough it's just not and then your brain is gonna start working properly you're gonna start thinking about other ideas that's just what entrepreneurs do and so that's what I'm doing and one way that I've had in my head since I was bloody 10 years old as property and finally in a position to be able to buy something and now by two properties and as long as as long as I stand my current job there's no reason why I couldn't continue buying property but for me to stay in my job I need to stay in Alice Springs so that is a concern and it has been probably last three years so I don't know what's gonna happen but whatever does happen I'll tell you guys and it'll be really awesome to go back to New Zealand and see my parents and see people and talk to people and tell them what I'm doing and get feedback from them because yeah my dad is actually I mean he has an entrepreneurial brain as well he tried to flip properties when he was younger he had rental properties he had sections but unfortunately when people split up finances get halved and people's situations go to absolute shit so that's something I hope doesn't happen to me either but yeah being single makes it hard because a double income would just double your borrowing power I mean that would be amazing if I if I found a girl who was paid really well and was interested in building wealth through property we could be very powerful very powerful but at the end of the day who knows what the property market is gonna do I believe is gonna eventually go up I'm buying bricks and mortar assets with my money I think it's I'm not gonna get into shares I'm not gonna get into fucking anything Nebraska you like that so anyways I'm at a gym now so rat to go kill it it's a little bit of finance talk who knows if I made sense or not I think I did take me away from home show me all the places I've never known race all of these broken dreams and flight you know I could still train back nation shit so that's what I did variations of pull downs and some see to grow and a well so feeling pumped right now feeling feeling well flat but surprisingly pumped especially my back so that's good definitely coming in already a lot goes to show what what you can achieve if you actually stick to a diet so that peak always on peak about skipping cardio I'm on a roll at the moment so I won't just gonna put these on alright guys so quick change of plan I didn't do cardio I run my sister's see if she wanted to go up in the mountain for a hike so that's what we're gonna do I'm gonna meet her at the foot of the mountain in about 20 minutes but obviously I just hit quite a big session at the gym so I need some proteins what I'm doing is I'm just making the exact same smoothie as I had this morning protein powder mixed berries oats almond milk and I'm just gonna quickly chuck that back make up some BC double-a's I'm gonna make up a shaker with core ABC one one serve 10 grams BC double-a's and I will be sipping on that on the way up and yeah it's good that's gonna be my cardio so it's gonna be at least an hour hour and 20 and I'll burn 5-600 calories so it's it's a good form of cardio but I wasn't gonna do it myself so lucky for me I got my sister to come on and I'll be quick enough some more kangaroo and putting that some then we'll see about some dessert I don't know what I'm gonna have so we are walking up there on gill I've got my sister and my flatmate with me and it's pretty cool because those two haven't actually seen each other for like a few years because we all used to grow up together back in Christchurch and yeah Milena my flatmate knows more about us than most so it's fucking funny like catching up all together but yeah up there I'm back here we have to make it right and last time last time I tried this the Sun was probably about halfway between where it is now and the break ranges so it got a little bit dark so hopefully this time we have enough Sun to complete the walk we get all the way up to the top for a wicked sunrise it'll be epic and it'll be 600 calories cardio you can't lose two in one how are we going dying quarter of the way to go I can drink a water right place went over there to hang out tonight and I needed some more protein sources so what I thought is all of this shit that's gonna last me probably the next four or five days but chicken breast cooked chicken breast just to add in salads and sandwiches and things like that makes it a lot easier those two things of those 12 tins of sweet chili tuna 2% Japanese Greek yogurt so I'm happy with that and we've got for carbs at the moment we've got rice oats bread English muffins and Nutri grain to make up a feed now and then I'll be hitting the hitting the sap back to work tomorrow another day another dollar
