I had a rest day yesterday too. It was so hot - I just couldn’t face Jillian! It’s a bit cooler today. 30DS L1D17 and KB&T L2D19 (65 min)

(120/130; 122h 50min)

Yes I've heard the UK has a heatwave. Hope you enjoy the lovely weather over the weekend!

Heat day 39 (full body and was tough) plus a short abs workout.

Days exercised 138

Had my second jab yesterday so taking it easy today with a Walk with Leslie. I probably wouldn’t have done Epic today anyway as I am so sore from the last couple of workouts.

Not sure I will count it as a day exercised.

Epic 2 day 34. 50 minutes of squat and press variations. Happy I managed to do it with my 7kgs. Progressing slowly but surely.

Days exercised 116

Finally doing some proper exercise! My first race in over 2 years, 4 miles (well, 6.5km, a bit over to make sure I did the full distance!). My rest days haven't been all that restful though having walked 22.5k / 16.5k / 15.5k steps on each of them!

Hope you're feeling OK after your second shot Roonetta. I'm finally getting my first on Thursday!

Well done @MotherForkinShirtBalls! That's amazing. I bet you felt great after . Impressive step count too

Thankfully I felt fine after my second shot. Good luck with yours on Thursday xx

Epic 2 day 35 Calisthenics full body done. Took another rest day yesterday as I am finding the workouts are getting tougher, especially with heavier weights. I think I will take rest days as and when needed, rather than ploughing on. I feel I perform much better when I have rested my body properly.

Days exercised 117

Well done @MotherForkinShirtBalls

I actually went to a black tie dinner over the weekend. And saw real people in person. It felt amazingly normal and was very enjoyable.

I’ve been terribly unmotivated of late. I'm determined this week will be better. 30DS L3D17 and KB&T L3D11 (65 min)

(121/129; 123h 55min)

Hope you feel ok after the jab Roonetta. 💐Got my second one on Friday.

Congratulations on the race MotherForkin!! 🎉🎉

Wow!! Black tie dinner oubliette!! Sounds wonderful 😊😊😊

Yesterday and today epic heat days 40 (Tabata HIIT) and 41 (glutes) plus a girvan lower abs workout.

Days exercised 140

Jealous of the black tie dinner Oubliette

Hope you didn't get any side effects Sophie - I was fine with the second one, thank god.

Epic 2 day 36 - HIIT for 30 minutes and then steady pace cardio for 15 minutes. This really felt like a JM workout with all the old favourites; jumping jacks, plank jacks, butt kicks, skipping. Made me nostalgic

Days exercised 118

KB&T L3D12 and 30DS L1D18 (65 min)

(122/128; 125h 00min)

Epic heat day 42 (chest and triceps)

It's on Friday, my second one Roonetta but thank you!
Days exercised 141

Two unplanned rest days because unpacking into the "new" house, dealing with builders and my brother ending up in hospital have flattened me. I managed a short hill run this morning in the pouring rain. It was so hard but I feel great for having done it.

My first jab is tomorrow!

I did a short core/quads/cardio hiit this morning.

I can’t even remember what my excuse for having an unplanned rest day yesterday was. So I’m just going to put it behind me and move on. KB&T L2D20 (40 min)

(123/127; 125h 40min)

Sorry to hear about your brother MotherForkin. I hope it isn't anything serious and that he'll be out of hospital soon.

Hope the move and the jab went well too. I've got my second tomorrow. My Irish friends here were telling me that they got behind with the vaccines in Ireland and so are delaying opening up the border.

Didn't fancy epic heat today so did a 5km interval run plus some lower abs workouts.

Days exercised 142

Hope your brother is okay Motherforkin

Good luck to you both with your jabs.

Your post made me laugh Oubliette . I am finding the motivation waning at this end.

Did another Walk with Leslie yesterday so won’t count that. Epic 2 day 37 glutes and hamstrings. Got interrupted so many times during this workout it took ages with lots of stopping and starting and I didn’t feel like I’d worked out. Might do it again properly at the weekend.

Days exercised 119

Oh I've had those days Roonetta where a 30 min workout takes 2 hours because of interruptions. So frustrating.... I sympathise.

Epic heat day 44 (full body) today.

Days exercised 143

Thanks for the thoughts about my brother. He's OK, out of hospital again. He has a chronic condition that has been stable for about 15 years but he got really sick last weekend out of no where which was pretty scary.

I gave myself a day off on vax day and spent yesterday running around after the kids and activities (we're currently 15 mins further from everything they do) so I got out early for a run this morning. Having belated father's day today as dh was completely ignored in last weekend's moving and hospital related dramas!

Great news that your brothers is out of hospital Motherforkin . Glad you managed to have some time for you today. Hope you enjoyed your run.

My DH ended up at the walk-in today after being bitten by horseflies yesterday. He is currently sporting a hand like Wreck-it Ralph . A course of antibiotics should sort him out but he is laying around on the sofa nursing his hand #eyeroll.

Two rest days Friday and yesterday. Epic 2 day 38 tough tempo leg day. Had to drop the weights again for this one. Really lacking motivation at the moment and not sure why. Hope it returns soon!

Days exercised 120

Get well soon to your brother MotherForkin and to your DH Roonetta.

Has my second vaccine and had a bit of a reaction. Nothing so serious (paracetamol helped) but headache, lots of muscle aches and shivers. Lasted the next day and night then was fine. At least I'm fully vaccinated now.

Epic heat day 43 today. Quads and calves

Days exercised 144

Ouch, horse fly bites sound horrible Roonetta. I hope the antibiotics kick in quickly.

Glad you're ok again after your vaccination Sophie. Which did you have? Dh is having his second moderna later in the week. He only had an achey arm after the first so it'll be interesting to see if he has a reaction.

I slept really badly so I did a shorter version of my hill run this morning.

Feels great to have both jabs done Sophie

Epic 2 day 39 arms and shoulders done.

Days exercised 121

Oops - didn’t mean to go AWOL. I think my phone must’ve eaten Friday’s post. I did exercise: 30DS L2D18 and KB&T L3D13 (65 min).

This evening I had to fit a short session in around DS watching the football: NMTZ (50 min)

(125/125; 127h 35min)

Half way to my 2021 target of 250 days.

My Friday entry has disappeared too. But I must have posted because I counted the day when I did my days exercised yesterday. How odd...

Today epic heat day 46 giant upper body sets and abs workout.

I did moderna MotherForkin. So did DH and he had no reaction at all.

Days exercised 145

Strange about Friday's posts

Well done on the half way mark Oubliette!

Epic 2 day 40 full body dumbbell workout - nice slow burn, but exhausting

Days exercised 122
