Getting my body back

[BartMan]

I find not offering myself into these situations helps no end too...

[Mokey]

Have decided to just write off this week. Got some utterly brilliant news this morning so have been in full celebration mode today, and of course full celebration mode means champers and chocolate and all things bad. Back into it when the world calms down again.

[BartMan]

nothing is bad in moderation, and celebration is celebration, rip into it!!

[Mokey]

Oh sweet gym, how my ass has missed you. Cross trainer, leg raises, swiss ball, sit ups, plank, lunges, camping squats, quads, weights, triceps, rowing machine and bike. That feels so much better.

[Paekakboyz]

at least till tomorrow!! lol<br />
<br />
What on earth are camping squats!?

When you go camping and there is no toilet...

[Mokey]

Yeah, they look completely classy but are good for bum and upper thighs.

3 hours nannying + gym workout + 4km walk = very tired me. And very hungry me. Must refrain from stuffing my face and negating all the good work! One kg to go. ONE LOUSY STUBBORN KILO.

[BartMan]

mmm, face stuffing. Double down please.

You drinking lots of water? You could cheat a kilo off if you aren't drinking enough per day.

[Mokey]

To be honest I could do better in the water department!

[Mokey]

Gah, nothing screws up a routine like a head cold. Day 2 of feeling like crap. Managed a 6km walk today, but not attempting the gym until I can breathe through my nose again.

[BartMan]

WATER is good for this too - drown the germs and wash them away...

[MN5]

Whiskey's good too

[BartMan]

lol - but yes, whiskey, honey hot water and panadol. That'll learn those pesky bugs.

[Mokey]

After a week of near incapacitation thanks to a head cold, stomach bug and stuff you guys will never have to worry about, (lucky bastards) I did a workout today, focused mainly on upper legs and lower abs/glutes. May well now be out for another week, ye gods my muscles hate me right now.

[BartMan]

I love it when my muscles hate me - I'm expecting a few hate messages from my legs tomorrow too...<br />
<br />
You obviously did not follow the whisky advice....

[Paekakboyz]

it's a glorious pain though! nothing like knowing you've really pushed yourself... well at least until you have to walk, pick something up or bend over the next day!! Now you are on the mend crack back into it, a week or so out won't put you back much.

[Mokey]

Nah, not heaps, I tried to keep my fluids up but my food intake was pretty limited over the week. When you feel like ratshit and have to dash to the loo frequently, you arent eating bad stuff! (Or sipping the whiskey, Bart!)<br />

I revelled in the burn for about five minutes Paekak, but I'll wake up tomorrow with the mobility of a 90 year old.

[Paekakboyz]

lol I hear ya! it's funny in a sick kind of way that no matter how fit/strong etc you get you always aim to train yourself into the ground. The goal is that feeling of tiredness/satisfaction after working hard. No matter if you were lifting 5kg or 45kg!
