Morning gymnastic
7 min run with the new stroller
120 min walk

I had a dreaded parent’s evening before I could train. I was so fed up by the powerpoint treatment, I just (almost) went berserk. Started with a good warm up and then did lift the weights. And I started quite heavy, I wanted to get it done.

^^I try to keep this scratch list for a wile. 100 BW pulls/ week are a nice doable number as are the 30 pushes/ day - I substitute the prayer press with them.

So the real question is does parents night help or hinder the workout? Maybe it is worth it…

Haha! Eyesore by powerpoint. I did a mistake, I meant parents’ evening, but you got it anyway as I can assume by your reply.

I think the time constraint and the resting week was helpful, so no fiddling around and getting straight on to it.

Qi gong before bed

Had the children almost the whole day today - usually I can have my off time around eight in the evening. Not today. My wife came back from a club meeting around 22:45. I napped with the little one in the bed, got up and decided to do a bit grip work, stretching, hit the shower and go back to bed after a round of qi gong.

On a side note, I’m gong to blow the whole IF thing - after trying it out for 10 weeks.
Reason: While I like the lifestyle benefits, it screws my digestion.

I now return to my breakfast for a while, skipping the oats for bulgur, because it sits in the pantry and it’s a welcome substitute for the oats.

I soak it overnight and then add some yoghurt, fruit flax seed and cottage cheese in the morning.

OK, forgotten and can’t find it, but which is the IM thing?

My wife makes a lovely tabbouleh with bulgur wheat. It would be great with yogurt in place of granola. I may steal that recipe.

I did a mistake, meant IF - intermittent fasting. Add a breakfast and the digestion works like before - stunning!

Actually the recipe is: Bulgur, flax seed, yoghurt, banana, apple or any other fruit you like, sometimes berries, cottage cheese and seeds (sunflower, pumpkin) or almonds and raisins or cranberries on top.
