Yeah, I work from 7:30-2:30. Gives me time to work out right after work and then pick up my kids, go home, have dinner and whatnot.0

I like being in the gym around half 7

well, you see, the fabled 7am can be glimpsed on occasion. I find that if I am very stealthy I get up at 6:10 I can catch 7am lol
tis usually start time for my gym/swim stuff

Occasionally I hear about this 5am thing too, but I keep telling people there is only one 5 o'clock in the day.0

5am is a myth!! told to scare people!!1

Happy Monday everyone!!
Reason 1 for being ridiculously chipper: Zombie challenge week 2 and have nearly sorted one of the challenges! haha love it, it has really given me the spur I needed after Christmas and New Year.
Reason 2: Put my new work trousers on (size 14 UK) and was happy with how they looked and felt - bit of muffin top, but my shirt covers it 1 -

Good, did fair amount of exercise, enjoyed Pilates for first time in a while and didn't eat badly. First weekend in a while I haven't been over. Otherwise, tv and chilling
How about you?0 -
I had a good one, didn't get all of the stuff I had planned done (the layer of dust is still on top of the footspa) but did get out and do my walks, despite the stormy weather and do a good bit of de-cluttering, also watched Fellowship & Two Towers.1

Awesome!
Return of the King on evenings this week? Or at weekend? (I don't think I could split the film that much)
I wish I could get round to the decluttering - issue being it is not my clutter!0 -

Probably leave it til the weekend otherwise it will mess with my 90 min limit on weeknight TV time lol.
My clutter really isn't clutter by most people's standards, I am too OCD for actual clutter, god help any man who does end up living with me ha!

Hehe that is a good goal! evenings are my tv time!
hmmm...thinking though, if we said 90 mins tv time, we could possibly get a handle on a lot of stuff. gonna suggest it!
For when/if it does happen.....give them their own room! it does wonders if you don't have to see all their stuff everywhere and if it does encroach everywhere it is easy to take to one dumping ground! 0 -

I have lived with people in the past but the last one was military so he was similarly OCD so it wasn't a drama, I would still end up going in and cleaning/organising it if I lived with a messy person.
My current flatmate is awesome.0 -
Hey all! Tired today. Sleeping better now taking 5g creatine a day. Weird. But upper body workout wore me out yesterday. I am pushing real hard to gain some muscle. A water weight apike of almost 2lbs as consequence.
Way to go on the size 14 bottoms beerfoamy! I am still fitting in them on my bulk just about...
Stupid rain and dark bit dreary start to week but heyho this is the UK after all.
Not much extra cardio being done yet, too knackered to fit it in comfortably yet. Will help with deficit end of Jan though...

How long does your bulk cycle last (was just wondering as I was filling in the 2018 charts/tables earlier for the weigh ins)?
It is hard to find a balance between cardio and strength training, I always find I ebb towards either one or the other.0 -

heh thanks and yay for sleeping better!
and yep, is totally dreary here! it is going to chuck it down any minute!
I agree with tinkerbell, it is either cardio or weights for me. Oddly I struggle to maintain both aspects alongside each other!0 -
It's kind of bright here across the Irish Sea, we had a bit of a miserable start but hopefully the rain will stay away for my lunch run.0

It ends Jan 31 which is a Weds, I think. Man my abs are hurting...I just did upper body yesterday but somehow I activated them tummy muscles.

ouch! I feel your pain @nexangelus - ab DOMs are the worst - coughing, sneezing, laughing....all to be avoided!
@tinkerbellang83 - fingers crossed for you! I am hoping it stays dry for a little walk at lunch.0 -
I've got some weird and wonderful bicep DOMs going on, but can't for the life of me think why, because I haven't done upper body since last Thursday. I don't recall doing anything else that would cause it.1

did the decluttering involve boxes being moved or large items being shifted for cleaning?0

Pumping arms whilst running or walking tink? That "might" do it...0

Nah I just sorted through my makeup shelf and one of my clothes drawers. So there wasn't really any major lifting.nexangelus wrote: »Pumping arms whilst running or walking tink? That "might" do it...
Maybe but don't normally get any aches from running or walking, and haven't really walked/ran any more than usual.
I am hoping it's not a warning sign of impending cold/flu that's going around.0 -
fingers crossed!0

I've figured it out - it's from driving, haven't driven the work car for ages and it's an older car, so steering can be a bit heavy, was driving a lot of winding roads on Saturday on the way back from Kerry.1

excellent - mystery solved!
good run?
started raining here, and now sun is out! bah0 -
