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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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!

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).

High 5 oub! ✋🏻

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

OublietteBravo · 16/06/2017 20:47

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

I got my exercise session in early today as it looks like it is going to be hot - 6W6P L1

(97h 45min; 126/124)

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

RJnomore1 · 18/06/2017 19:06

126/124

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!

OublietteBravo · 19/06/2017 18:44

Rest day yesterday, as we were out celebrating Father's Day. A very sweaty NMTZ this evening. Off for a cool shower now...

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

RJnomore1 · 19/06/2017 22:30

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.

OublietteBravo · 20/06/2017 20:45

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.

(99h 10min; 128/122)

KanyesLunchbox · 20/06/2017 21:51

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

TooStressyForMyOwnGood · 20/06/2017 23:02

Hello all, I fell off the wagon again but have got back on.
Run yesterday and and random exercising / circuits /jumping around the house.

TooStressyForMyOwnGood · 20/06/2017 23:08

The random jumping was today!

KanyesLunchbox · 20/06/2017 23:51

Welcome back Stressy!

TooStressyForMyOwnGood · 21/06/2017 19:48

Thanks Kanye Smile.

RJnomore1 · 22/06/2017 05:51

Ok worlds saddest person but I found the gym on board and managed to do a pretty good weights session yesterday

127/123

I'm off on a boat trip and to some vineyards today so most likely nothing happening but hopefully I'll fit in a few sessions.

OublietteBravo · 22/06/2017 20:58

Enjoy your holiday RJ

I had a rest day yesterday (because it was 31C here). Thankfully much cooler today, so back on it: NMTZ

(100h 00min; 129/121)

Half way through my 200h target (and not quite half way through the year). I'm pretty pleased with that

You are a true believer, RJ Grin hope you are having a good holiday.

Work crap gave me an unplanned rest on weds and migraine hit last night so I was in bed at 7. Swim today though, I'm getting into the 50 length thing.

RJnomore1 · 24/06/2017 18:43

I'm having a great holiday. Hope your migraines Better Kanye?

Can I count a 10 mile walk in 35 degree heat as a training day?
