Holiday is without doubt worth it! Have a great time.

Swimming today. Managed 50 lengths again which I was pleased by since I didn't want to do any of them! Ended up doing weights and core work st home last night as dd thought me holding her hand was more important Hmm

Holidays are nearly always a good idea. Preparing for a holiday is the worst bit and always somewhat fraught.

I almost didn't bother exercising this evening. But in the end I did a very sweaty 6W6P L1.

Why did I think a holiday was a good idea

Got out the office at 7

Just finished packing

Feel fat and fed up already, no time to train today, aargh.

KanyesLunchbox · 19/06/2017 20:07

Hangover recovery on Sat and although I planned a run yesterday, I was utterly exhausted so didn't Blush. I promise I'll go swimming at 9 if dd ever goes to bloody sleep and I can escape her bedroom floor

MMA circuits and I flung a quick Kettlebell session in at the end. I've done loads of ironing in the heat too which must count for something!

RJnomore1 · 17/06/2017 13:35

Rushing around so much I missed my class but just out of a kettlebell session - 3 more training sessions tilholiday.
125/250 and halfway.

I'm going to be away at the end of August for almost 3 weeks, so I expect we'll be even at the end of the summer.

It feels good to be ahead of target though. Smile

High 5 oub! ✋🏻

You'll overtake me a fair bit while I'm away but we are both ahead of target eh?

Unintentional rest day yesterday. So I made myself do my least favourite combo this evening: 30DS L2D8 & 6W6P L1D4.

(97h 10min; 125/125)

Half way to 250 days (although not yet at the halfway point in terms of hours).

Bodybuilding PT first one for a few weeks and had a ball. Sore now mind you.

Kanye hope you have a great time sounds like a good night to me!

KanyesLunchbox · 16/06/2017 15:55

Very tight on time today but I did 30mins run this morning. Off to a v fancy military dinner tonight. I hope the food is as good as the booze is cheap!

Happy weekend, everyone!

KanyesLunchbox · 15/06/2017 22:22

She sounds like my kind of girl, RJ! Hope it was a great night.

I found it incredibly hard to go, but I dragged myself to the pool and had a great swim. 50 lengths in 40ish minutes. I could have gone for longer but they were jangling the keys at me so they could lock up Blush

RJnomore1 · 14/06/2017 22:20

Oh hi Kanye cross post! She came home early she's about as much of a party animal as I am but I'm glad she went and she looked lovely and enjoyed getting dressed up.

RJnomore1 · 14/06/2017 22:18

It still counts!

123/127

Went in and did a serious leg session on my own because I was narked at missing yesterday.

KanyesLunchbox · 14/06/2017 22:17

How was your dd's prom, RJ?

I had a 6k walk yesterday I can still count it if I'm eating a magnum while walking, right?? Today was 3s - 3k walk, 3k run, 30mins weights in the gym.

I did NMTZ this evening - in two parts because I had to collect DS from cricket. I think it still counts though.

No training here. I was all set for class but it's dds prom and dh had gone hillwalking so I went home to take her as he hadn't texted to say he was on way back. Of course he turned up five minutes after class started 😬And she wasn't ready till after it would have ended anyway . So spent 30 minutes stood around waiting while she got photos and now I've just given up an I'm in the chip shop.

Tomorrow will be a better day!

Ugh. Feeling very hot and sweaty. Just done 30DS L2D7 & 6W6P L1D3.5

(95h 30min; 123/127)

Getting close to the half way point for both targets - which presumably means I'm on track.

KanyesLunchbox · 12/06/2017 23:16

Haven't been able to post for the last few days. I had a bad week last week, work and being completely wrecked conspired against me so I did some easy core work sutmring the week. On Friday I managed a 6k walk to a very boozey dinner weights on Saturday and 5k plod last night. Late meeting tonight gave me a rest day, planning the gym tomorrow.
