I have free weights at home, must actually get back to using them.
Down 2lbs at my weigh in this week- have a strange feeling that after the damage I'm planning to do this bank holiday weekend, it will be put straight back on! :pac:0 -

My exercise regime & diet has gone the way of my social life in the last week, only been out for 1 Run in that time & had a few beverages on both Saturday & Sunday nights, throw in a couple of BBQ's as well and lets just say I need to get my ar£e in gear again... amazing how quickly a few weeks hard work can be scuppered!!
I should get out this evening but I feel shattered atm, struggling with work stress on top of the ongoing 'games' around our holiday so I'm feeling a tad fragile/anxious & think a few early nights might be the best thing for me & then start fresh over the weekend again.
Or a run might be just want you need, get out and get some good 'head space', fresh air and unwind. You'll thank me for it after

Normally thats exactly what I'd do (& recommend to others also) but I've that much going on I genuinely think I need to sleep, mentally I'm running on empty & need to get my pep back.
I may go for a walk though just to get some fresh air at least (& hope it doesnt rain!:D)"I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year" - Charles Dickens

I was just thinking, the Mrs isnt here to know, I had quite a bit of guilt, two full fat cokes too. I was feeling sorry for myself after having that swab jammed up my nose. Ended up in the hotel two nights, checked out this morning. The first night we did an all nighter working so I am still recovering from that. I also had three pints of cider one night.
Haven't been tested for covid myself, but know a few who have, they pretty much all said the swab is really rammed up there & is quite unpleasant, 1 or 2 said it wasn't put that far up but the more I hear the more i'd be less looking forward to having to get my nasial passages violated "I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year" - Charles Dickens

I got over my illness and then got back in to the gym for three days straight, however I had to go in to isolation in a hotel as someone tested positive for covid who I had many meetings with. The gym at the hotel is not open, but their room service burgers were amazing. I have been tested and am clear but I am fat as a fool. I had three burgers in one day.
Good to hear test came back negative, have heard it's pretty unpleasant alright.
I remember being away with work years ago and the hotel did amazing food. After the first couple of days, me and the other guy I was away with would spend way too much time during the day working out how to get the most amount of food for the daily food allowance we had. Basically entailed eating pretty much nothing all day till we got back to the hotel and then ordering as much food as we could afford 0 -
They should say that during those gov.ie ads, stay home or get swabbed!
Great news on the negative result, it's such a relief! I'm envious of the burgers
I had the test back in March, and it was negative. The nasal swab was so uncomfortable my eyes watered, but I had imagined it would be worse.
I'm taking a break for a few days from working out. I strained a muscle, but it's only a minor strain thankfully, so I'm trying to keep it elevated as much as I can. Bit disappointing as I was so happy with my progress. Ah well
Would anyone have any suggestions for some tasty healthy snacks? My food in general is good, but my evening snacks let me down. I've tried negotiating with my partner that does the groceries by himself, but he has a sweet tooth and he's really enjoying his freedom :pac:0 -

I stick to fruit mostly, though if I have a craving for something sweet love the chocolate orange rice cakes from Dunnes Stores, they go lovely with a cup of tea!
If i fancy a savoury snack I usually have a couple of their chilli rice cakes, they're only 45 calories each or something, & actually quite tasty.
For me snacking is not the problem, its the beer & BBQ's!!!
The outside of our house is still like a building site so we don't own a bbq yet
Thank you, thats a great suggestion, it's just to nibble something while I'm having my tea so I'll be adding those to the shopping list! I used to always get the chocolate and mint rice cakes, don't know if my local dunnes had the orange ones, or they are just that popular that there is none left when I would come along the chilli flavour sounds great too! 0 -

The chilli ones come in a tube shaped pack, theres about 20 in it for €1
The Mrs loves the choc mint rice cakes, we usually get a pack of each, the kids love the caramel ones too but I find them sickly sweet."I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year" - Charles Dickens

I keep a packet of Freddos in the freezer to have with my cup of tea once all the kids are in bed. They last ages if you are dipping them in your tea and give a good chocolate hit. I'm a divil for biscuits (and mindless eating in the evening) and I find that if I know I have my Freddo to look forward to in the evening, I can stay on track better. I've long ago realised that I can't do cold turkey on chocolate! 0 -

I haven't had a freddo in years!! Thank you, that's a great idea for a Friday treat, another for the shopping list I love having something to dunk in my mug of tea 0 -

It's crazy I'm flip flopping from one good week to one bad week. Well mostly one bad weekend, we've had a bbq recently, and my wife in the past week has baked banoffi pie, millionare shortcakes and cupcakes... thankfully I haven't gained any weight in the past 4 weeks, but 2 out of the 4 weeks I've maintained which is purely damage done from the weekends!0 -

Happy to report that I've jumped right back into my work outs today after taking what was meant to be a 1 week break due to a minor muscle strain, but ended up taking 2 weeks off... No muscle complaints today, which is a relief.
I was hoping to have maintained my weight over the break (I raided the bad snacks a couple of times), so I am delighted to learn I lost 0.5kg. I was lacking motivation, and I was worried I'd struggle to get back on track, so it gave me a great boost before today's work out.
Feeling a lot more positive 0 -

I haven't been too bad to be honest. I'm craving junk like no tomorrow but managing to hold off. I joined a fitness class on Monday night - it hurts to move my legs today But on the upside, I didn't pass out or make a total fool of myself 0

Would it interest people to join a group of 8 - to focus on weight loss, mindset, habits etc, with the goal of improving general quality of health both physically and mentally? I was thinking of mentoring a group beginning in August/September. No charge, no fee, the only thing I ask for is dedication. Something to hold you accountable. My background is in Food and Health. The reason I'd be doing it is to test my ability as a mentor in a group scenario and to get back into this area of work. I enjoy helping people as best as I can to my ability. If it is something that you might think will interest you or want to know more about me, you can PM me. 0 -
How's everyone doing? I only realised today that I forgot to weigh myself Monday morning my fitness is going up so I'm quite happy. I'm trying to do up a plan at the moment, which day will be legs, core, upper body, kettlebells, maybe even throw in some yoga. Up until now i had veen doing daily full body workouts.
I have been doing fairly good with food. However, today and tomorrow will be a complete write off, I made a birthday cheesecake for a little garden tea party this evening, I'm really looking forward to it 0 -
