My boss let me buy a desk, monitors, everything I need for a home office. I set it up yesterday, and fuck. I’ve worked 15 hours today. It’s so tempting to work when I have an office at home.
*I’ve worked in my office, throughout COVID.
I’ve been working from home for over a year and that attitude is absolutely baffling.

Its so tempting to get up and do other stuff when you have your fridge, TV, garden and all your other things so close to your office.

Having a weight loss stall so decided to use a calorie tracking app.
I make this ragout which has shredded pork shoulder and veal, lots of olive oil which I have with pasta, parmesan cheese then some more oil for serving.
Over 2000 kcals 
Now rather than cut this out or give myself a smaller portion, I am fasting on that day lol

A fast day ending with a meal like that is absolutely worth it.

My weight still seems to be going down even though I stopped my mini cut for the transformation challenge. For the first time in my life Im genuinely worried Im losing muscle rather than fat because of the limited training.
I feel ya. I was purposefully trying to push to 190 as a bit of a gradual surplus was doing me good in terms of lifting, was just barely there at like 189 a couple of weeks ago, recently stepped on the scale yesterday and I’m already down to 183.
I’ve started running though, so I figured my body is scrambling to adjust to yet another thing I’m forcing it to do lol. I suppose it’s a good thing, since I’m shooting to become as lean as possible by the end of the year. I know I won’t be like a rock solid 180, especially at a mere 5 feet, but I’d like to see myself hold steady at sub 170, perhaps 160 and go from there

Interesting, I’ve just done the same and im doing less leg work as a result. Probably the main thing making me paranoid about muscle loss.

I’m hoping it doesn’t interfere too much with my squat days. I’m a complete squatting addict lol
Gyms still arent open here, so Im still stuck with home workouts. Basically the only reason I started running was because im so bored of home leg workouts. I miss barbells.

This.
Although running for any more than a few metres is out for me. I like the idea of doing a few sprints though - not too much repetitive jarring on the hips & knees and really good HIIT.
Thanks @ChickenLittle, @Frank_C, @anna_5588 @mattjp for the tough love, that’s why I whinged in here, you guys told me what I needed to hear!

I’ve done pretty much this before and got a massive, 6ft high tire that was an absolute pig for conditioning, loved it. A few words of warning though: don’t pay for a new tire, they cost a bomb. Talk to a farmer or two and you’ll probably be able to get one cheap or free because they cost a lot to dispose of properly (in the UK). I’ve had 2, the first one cost me a pint, the second one was free. The other word of warning is to make sure you know where you’re keeping it so as to not get filled with water and also where your missus can’t see it, because for some reason mine didn’t take too kindly to me turning the back garden into a farmyard. Lastly: have a plan for how you’re going to get rid of it if you’ll ever need to. I’ve had to lose both of mine when moving houses and it can get really costly to get them disposed of.
I have had several big tires. All but one have been stolen, The only one I still have is 1200lbs, I think it’s still there because it’s too heavy for anyone else to move.

‘Love what you do and you won’t a day of your life’ or some bullshit. I just get sucked into work and can’t stop until it’s done.
Are you British?
Confession:
My first thought was “How expensive can matches and gasoline be?!?”.
Adjacent confession:
One of my neighbors threatened to kill me on the 3rd of July for setting off a volley of sparkly mortars.
Product of confessions: The realization that sometimes I have bad ideas/make bad decisions.

I live in the UK, yes.
A couple of years ago, we accidently set a couple of neighbors’ lawns on fire trying out firecrackers on Chinese New Year
Yes… the police were called 
Trying them out? 
You probably got a stern warning for that, huh?

my mom bought them at the local Asian supermarket. They were the long ass ones imported from China. First time using them
$200 ticket
Woah! I’m kinda blown away by that!
For mine, they did a really fast drive through the neighborhood to be able to say that they responded to the call.
