Nice. Just went back to the gym this morning for the first time in a great while. Recovering from being sick and a wrist injury.

Good that your back at it.
I’m off to the gym now first push of the programme you suggested, weighted Dips and behind neck press. Will update how it goes shortly!

Did another hill walk yesterday and this morning. Trying to find a nice route that takes 45 mins including getting up the big hill. Dog hindered the timing attempt today by getting stuck in some brambles then running back the way we’d come from. Shes pretty but not very bright!


Not a bad walk to have my door step!

No weights this morning was going to walk dog, but it’s pissing down with rain (she hates rain), so went to gym, did 20mins on stationary bike hill profile, and 5 mins on the stair climber. Hated the stair climber so will do it more!
Going to try very little carb intake on none weight trainng days, so no carbs in morning protein shake, chicken salad not sandwich, nuts instead of fruit.

See you live in the Malverns, I lived in Ross on Wye for a while before I moved down under. Beautiful part of England down there.

We like it, but I’d be willing to move for a better climate, but the missus wouldn’t.

How long since you moved? Your lucky to be away from this Brexit shit storm, I wasn’t bothered by it til yesterday when the missus was made redundant!

Sorry to hear that about your missed. I moved over here 14 years ago so don’t really think much about brexit and all the crap that goes with it.

The worst thing about Brexit is hearing about it all the time. Wish they’d just get on with it, I think all the uncertainty is causing the biggest problems.
My cousin emigrated to Aus with her teacher husband, so they’re stuck somewhere out west until he has served his time, then they can move to where ever they want.
