Pretty good weak training wise, moreso because for some reason I've hammered it at the gym. Not sure if it was intensity, but damn I've been feeling it the day after. Makes swimming even more important for recovery.
Today I smashed back and triceps at the gym then went straight to Hitler. Felt like asking for an easyish pool session but hardened the fook up and accepted the challenge:
25m Max (few breaths as possible)
then burpees, dips and mountain climbers ×15 each
Another 25m Max
then jump squats, a core exercise I don't know the name of, and push-ups x 15.That was harsh. Managed 6 before I had to leave so was pretty happy with that but am feeling it now. Not sure why the fark I'm doing this but I'm full on addicted now.
I prefer being strong

Boulder shoulder training this morning. Very nice.
Weekend was a bit of a struggle. Ran 10km and did pool session but was knackered for most of it. Had been a bloody tough week so maybe that was it. Still haven't changed diet too much so that definitely has to be on the to do list.
Was quite funny at lunch. Got together with an old group of friends and family from school. My GF was loudly insisting that I had to order two meals because I needed to get my calories up. There was a great deal of mirth about that. I had a cheeseburger with fries and a schnitzel with fries and hoovered up any uneaten meals.
What was cool was that 2 friends had recently had a good look in the mirror and have lost stacks. It was amazing actually. Trouble is that the couple who set the whole thing up are dangerously overweight and drink like fish. They made noises about doing something about it but nothing new there. My mates used an app to help them lose weight and the female of the large couple said she was definitely downloading it, but that's the easy part. Unfortunately the app doesn't physically stop you from eating or drinking. I try to be as supportive as possible but it's really hard. If my mate doesn't keel over and die today, it will happen tomorrow. He was the best man at my wedding and I'm afraid I'm going to be a pallbearer at his funeral very soon. But in these ridiculous times even mentioning it is taboo. It's crazy.

8 days! Slack. But I suppose more of the same although I fell off the wagon on Thursday and ate like a maniac. When I'm in that zone then it's incredible how much I can put away. I think its because I'm doing even more cardio helping my son with delivering pamphlets. Due to school commitments I had to do most of it myself. So I guess a day with bootcamp, pamphlet route and swimming demands more fuel. Definitely have to get chatting to a dietician rather than talking about it. I'm probably going to try the GC half-marathon (Saturday) and marathon (Sunday) next year so will need some proper advice.
Going to also get one of those body scan things during the holidays. Should be interesting.
-
@rancid-schnitzel yeah I've had one of them done, will get another in the New Year, where I will be c 5kg lower than my last one, so that'll be interesting.

Overdid it on the weekend, both with the training and eating. The heat is becoming so intense that going run, swim then intervals is just silly and probably a bit dangerous.
Just as silly was the eating. 10 wheatbix with protein powder and fruit for breakfast, then 4 rice cakes, 4 schnitzels and noodles, 3 protein bars, a large lamb kebab and large chips, a small tub of ice cream, a pizza, a pack of beef ravioli and 2 quesadillas. I probably could have eaten more but I fell asleep.

You get a big appetite when you do 3 hours of exercise in the morning. I'm just effed in the head.

The next morning was a bit....problematic. The cool thing about that level of gluttony is that you get so disgusted with yourself that it takes at least a week before the cravings come back.

Shit almost 2 weeks!
Just had a week on the Gold Coast (actually 5 days because 2 days were spent having to deal with eldest's bullshit). Was fantastic. Didn't have any gym access but heaps of running and swimming. Only glitch was when I had to return to Brisbane due to the aforementioned bullshit. Decided to eat my sorrows away and it wasn't pretty. But I was generally pretty lax for much of the week. Had a few beers etc. My body will now be a temple until Christmas Day. A day on which I shall go absolutely farking ballistic. -

Hope you’ve sorted the boy out, is he too big for a hiding ?

It's one step forward ten back with him. It's a complex combination of trauma, personality and being an arsehole teenager. But a hiding wouldn't go astray. Good luck with that these days though.

Very solid leading up to Christmas. Kids out of school means gym sessions can be longer and meaner. Diet has also been perfect this week so Saturday will be the most epic cheat day!!!!

Absolutely disgusted myself on NY eve and resolution is therefore to finally fix diet. Seeing a sports dietician next week.
Allowing yourself a window to binge is nice but I take it way too far. Hopefully I can find a diet that can properly satiate the intense cravings that are popping up more frequently. It will be an even bigger issue now that I've decided to go the half-marathon (Saturday) and marathon (Sunday) double in July.

Jesus……
I think the other half is doing something similar.
Thoughts and prayers for you both.

@rancid-schnitzel think you need to see more than a dietician for signing up to something like that, that's akin to self harm bro!
Good luck though!

Yeah I need a fitness goal/hobby I think although to be fair I do ok training for the sake of training. Functionality and a good example to my boys are the prime motivators, no sense trying to impress the other half, if I do 20 chin ups she’ll just tell me I should have done 25. She’s like that.
Having a specific goal could be pretty cool though.

Knowing how obsessive he is probably what the rest of us put away on a normal day
