NewYearathon - getting fitter in 2017.

[OublietteBravo]

A shiny new thread for a New Year.

Come and join us - whatever your exercise goal for 2017.

I have a new friend to play at kettlebells with. Introduced her to pentathlon lifting tonight and had a really good training session with her.

And it's Friday so too

Doubled up on training today; did my Kettlebell session then the deadlift day from my strength programme.

Happy tired abs expecting to hurt a bit tomorrow.

Sunday means MMA circuits and DOMS from yesterday's deadlifting which is not a lovely combination.

Ooh no I'm going the wrong way 😬

Rest days Saturday and Sunday. Kids are back, so juggling exercise with pick-ups and drop-offs. Managed 6W6P L1 this evening.

(118h 20min; 153/97)

July hasn't been my greatest month. I definitely need a solid start to August.

Went and trained with dh tonight which I don't often get a chance to do. Showed off to him with my strict press - 4 sets of 6 reps at 40kg and didn't use my legs at all 😁💪🏻

Wine and game of thrones now!

Tuesday is Kettlebell class.

I'm having tomorrow off as I'm away to see Texas playing at the kelvingrove bandstand in Glasgow.

It's all a bit hectic here. DH is in the USA, so I'm parenting on my own.

NMTZ.

(119h 10min; 154/96)

I'm planning a rest day tomorrow too. I'm teaching from 17:00-20:00, so unlikely to have time.

How old are your kids oub?

DD is 13 and DS is 11. So fairly self-sufficient, but not really independent.

They were horrified when they realised that i expected them to wash up their own dinner plates!

It's the endless taking places at that age isn't it.

My oldest is 18 and off to uni in a few weeks and the littlest is 13 next month. It's been quite good lately as we have been able to pay the oldest to babysit, like tomorrow.

They seem to think I should entertain them (as well as working FT and keeping everything at home ticking over). Plus they always seem to be after money in some form or other.

Hi guys, just checking in in spite of doing nothing yet this week. We are in Spain and it's been either really hot, really humid or both, so a couple of hours of mucking about in the pool with the children is all I'm managing. It's lovely though, despite the bloody mosquito bites.

I'm reading about your children with increasing dread...mine are 5&7 so looks like I've a long time of running around to go

I'm getting a few bicep curls in tonight...

I drank a G&T during my tutorial just one

DURING oub?😮

my new hero

Yes - during! I was the tutor (via Skype from the comfort of my own dining room).

Well I seem to be at the most middle class open sir gig ever... kelvingrove in gladgoe... I can't get a photo of the gin bar from whee im sitting but this should give you an idea - trees fairy lights a Victorian bandstand craft gin and Italian lagers...

I need to apologise for typos.

My typing on my phone is crap and my phone is playing up so I'm posting without checking unless I have it plugged into a power source.

A very reluctant session, although I certainly feel better for having done it. 30DS L3D8 & 6W6P L2D9

(120h 00min; 155/95) - so 'only' another 80h to go.

150/100!!

I'm so excited!!

Metafit on Thursday.

I ignored my niggling headache and pushed on through this evening. NMTZ.

(120h 50min; 156/94)

An unusual Saturday session - holiday in 2 weeks time, don't want to get behind target. 6W6P L1

(121h 25min; 157/93)

Friday was a disaster. Didn't arrive til 8.3p then had to pitch the tent so no training.

Today is heading the same way 😕 But in reverse

But did 10km mud run obstacle course yesterday so I'm having that.
