    was good. Got home, cooked chilli so I could run with gf, she got home and didn't want to lol - so out I went into cold and wet, 15 mins run, 10 mins walk. Got home. Had chilli and naan bread. (yum) Started watching Once Upon A Time together - really good! Had some prosecco and crashed out about 10 lol
    She had Viva exam yesterday afternoon so was exhausted after being assessed and stuff - but she passed well and truly so all good :D

    nice whoosh! and exciting for PRs :D what are you on currently? My OHP is slowly getting better - PT I know suggested doing some power presses and jump presses with lower weights, then the standard OHP with higher weights feels lighter - kinda does, but yeah, still waiting to get over 20kg consistently. lol ramble much.

    jealous of the 3 double cheeseburgers! may do that next week!! :D

    Them cheeseburgers did not really fill me up....probably cos I was really hungry by then. But I felt an odd satisfaction at stuffing my face. Not really tried to eat three burgers in one hit before ha!

    I was hoping to hit 70kg bench last week, nah not quite again. So today is it! Also hoping to hit a 47.5 or maybe even 50kg OHP tonight. My shoulders have rounded out so much on the bulk. They gotta be stronger!

    oh wow! awesome numbers! :o shall keep everything crossed for you!! hehe
    (my deadlift is currently 50kg on a good day! OHP 15-20kg and BP 26.5KG as of last week - I really need to stick to my weights sessions more)

    and I have done 2 double cheeseburgers and large fries - tis my go to, 'I feel like a fecktonne of food' order. but yeah, it doesn't fill me up. Tis non-food lol.

    still wow OHP of that much!! :D

    Thanks @beerfoamy. Your cardio sessions are amazing though - all that swimming, running and what not. My endurance is not great but if I have to move fast and long, I can.

    I have totally lost my appetite for burgers :neutral:

    Good luck with your weights @nexangelus

    I had my first rowing practice at lunchtime in a 4 hand naomhog/currach, really enjoyed it, was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be, just got to work on more integrating our rhythm to work as a team but really looking forward to getting into it.

    aww no! what about a homemade mince burger with finely chopped mushroom combined with the mince and a lump of stilton in the centre?
    or a sweet potato, garlic, broccoli and hallumi burger.
    (I have a burger book lol)

    in a 4 hand naomhog/currach

    say what?! lol - is that the type of boat?

    Yes it's a traditional Irish fishing boat from Kerry

    I make my own burgers now and again, I just don't get cravings for them any more, not really a bad thing lol

    Very true. For me the craving is more for the fries, I get the burgers as at least they have a bit more protein in and it stops me just having 3 large fries lol

    but even those cravings are getting less - which is great. :D

    eta: what is your fave burger when homemade? :)

    I have a lovely packed lunch for work today, but feel like I may be wandering to the deli, got a craving for one of their Chicken Doorstop sanwiches with coleslaw and jalapenos.
  • beerfoamy
    beerfoamy Posts: 1,520 Member
    remove the jalapenos from half and I'll join ya! haha That sounds very yummy - then your lunch can be your tea/breakfast tomorrow? less prep?
    I am getting coleslaw for tomorrow now! I keep forgetting foods that I love! not missing them until someone else brings them up though.
