Do you ever have those days where you just don't want to? I had one of them today. I woke from my post night duty sleep early to let in my cleaner and she never came. This put me in a grumpy mood to start with. I waited for her for over an hour and no show and while I was waiting i went through the stages of exercise…

Enjoy your time at the Lake and try to do a bit of relaxing.

I have had a huge couple of days at the gym. On Monday I wasn't going to go cause I went to the gym on Sunday but I got woken from a nap by a salesman on the phone and was in a bad mood so decided to go and work it off. Well it was leg day on my program and I decided after a lot of reading and talking to my trainer that I…

Don't you hate having to wait for stuff when you are deadset keen to get going on things? It would drive me absolutely spare. I'm very much an in the moment kind of person and like to have things happen NOW. Hopefully you made some headway today and got things moving. How's your daughter. Nothing like having an unwell…

Welcome back @Quzzdragon12 that cruise sounds awesome. Shame about the bugs but it doesn't seem to have slowed you down too much. As 50 said don't be too concerned about the gain. It will come off in no time and you seem very committed to making it happen so that is half the battle. 160 will come around again before you…

I think the weather is going through the change of life. Here in Australia we are smashing records left right and centre with how hot it is. It's really weird. It's getting cool overnight and sometimes we need the heater but during the day it is getting so hot we need the air conditioning on cool. When i'm working…

Wow so many things going on for you at the moment. I wouldn't have blamed you for falling right off the rails but you seem to be getting a handle on the eating and stuff. It sounds awesome mate that you're taking your daughter away for a week or so. That will be good to recharge the batteries.

Leaving this here for future reference. Some really good info here. @50extra having read what you have said and now doing a bit more reading I am thinking of changing up my training. I have emailed my trainer to see what she says https://gymjunkies.com/cardio-after-lifting-or-before/

Had a bit of a further scare this week which did my head in a little bit. I mentioned my "good" leg being sore after my PT. He had a feel around and then said he was reluctant to touch it because he felt I may have a DVT (Blood Clot). It wasn't behaving typically like a DVT but had some characteristics. This did my head in…

All the little bits add up. You will reach your goal. Hope you had fun on the colour run. I too hope to do one of those one day. It will be a walk but hey still fun to do

I had my first PT session today. I was so scared about going and nearly backed out a few times. Cardio is not my thing and I get scared of getting out of my depth. However true to her word my trainer tailored the session to my needs. We started out with 400m fast row then 40 battle ropes with both arms, then 300m fast row…

hon life happens it part of the journey. Don't beat yourself up

Travel safe. Talk to you soon

The test went well. It wasn't very involved at all 300m Treadmill 20 squats 20 pull ups on TRX 200m Row Time for week 1 was 7mins Slower time mostly because I couldn't stride it out on the treadmill. Everything else was not a problem. I will smash that by week 6 After that I did my day 1 program of cardio and arms. It hurt…

Day of rest today. Hideous food choices which im sure will reflect on the scales tomorrow but hey what's done is done. For me tomorrow is the start of my fitness challenge and after having a severe talking to myself about this little pity party I have been having, I am ready to give it a red hot go. For now I will work…

I am impressed too. Anything star wars is awesome

So many ups and downs in a day. I went to the physio today and she's diagnosed a grade 2 tear of my calf and just because I like to do things properly I also have a grade 1 tear of my hamstring on the medial side. Probably explains why its been a bit tender. Not very happy about all that at all. She spent a good deal of…

I know i've missed you but have an awesome cruise and relax and enjoy

Oh wow. How awesome. If only i had my ears pierced. I love them. Are you going to get some?

Wow kudos to you mate for acting how you did. You most certainly save that mans life cause if he had of had the heart attack on the street he would have been dead waiting for an ambulance. And yes 58 is very young to be having that sort of stuff happening. It just goes to show investment in health early can save a lot of…

It depends what you want to get out of it. I personally prefer cardio then weights. It gets my heart rate up and keeps me in fat burn for longer thus good for weight loss. I read an article recently about which to do first and what it benefits. I'll see if I can find it and post a link here

I went down to the gym today cause I was having withdrawals from not going and spoke to the trainer. She gave me my new program and we had a chat about the fitness challenge. All does not look lost. Providing my leg continues to improve, by Monday I should be able to do the fitness test. Albeit not as flat out as I'd like…

@50extra I think it may be a combination of not warming up properly and also my weird body mechanics. Because of the strange way I walk my calves are wound pretty tight normally and just doing any sort of stretching adds pressure. I'm going to speak to the trainer at the gym about some good warm up stretches. I feel a good…

I have been saying many *kitten* this morning. It's looking more and more like crutches for a stint as I can't really straighten my leg let alone walk on it. Just waiting for the rest of the country to wake up so I can organise some treatment. I did console myself with some chocolate but I will be keeping a close eye on my…

Well i'm not sure how much butt i'll be kicking. I was just doing some Kettlebell lunges in my office between calls and next thing i hear is "POP" and massive pain in my right calf. Yup you guessed it. Another torn calf. I would go so far as to say this one is a tad worse than the first one. Other leg though. I'm sitting…

I like your goals. Let's smash them out of the park. May is the month

For anyone who's interested fitnessmagazine.com/workout/lose-weight/total-body/30-day-challenge-kettlebell-workout/

not long now hon. I'm getting excited for you

Also when I have my body Comp scan done on the 25th I want to see an increase in Lean Muscle Mass. I can feel the muscle building, I just hope it translates on the scan. My nutritionist wants my BMR up to 1800 cals. So far with the LMM loss last month it went down to 1523cals but if i can get it back up to say 1650 this…
