Simo - The Red Shoe Diaries (Part 1)

Yer proper sun burn fking sucks. I had sun screen on today but it must have worn off in the water because I’m pretty pink. Hopefully it will turn a nice shade of bronze by the end of the week !!!

Dad already tried it but he’s 6ft 3 and not light!! The kids aren’t big enough to balance themselves, so when Ii lifted them they all kept falling off !!

The falling off is the most fun part… until one kid drops an elbow right in your nose!

So I’ve been catching up on all the logs and some YouTube vids whilst relaxing by the pool or on the beach (when I’m not running around with the kids). I’m not really missing training as in I want to go tomorrow, but I can’t wait to get back to the gym and start a new training block. Reading everyone else’s effort and PR’s is very motivating and I am getting pumped to start hitting it hard again.

Flew back to Melbourne today. It was a little sad to say goodbye to mum and dad but it is good to be home. Quiet evening tonight then straight back into normal life tomorrow. Gymnastics for my son and daughter and all the usual chores for me. Sunday we are going to have a movie afternoon and then Monday it’s back to work, daughters karate and my training. I’ll just move some weight for some reps this week and hopefully the DOMs won’t be too bad.

For my next training block I will be doing a repeat of the medium intensity block I see before my break. I’ll do an extra week at the start with some lighter weights to get the body back into training and then start the program the following week.

Looks like I’ve bought a little bit of Bali belly home with me. Spent a fair bit of the day on the dunny. Should help me lose a little holiday weight quickly !!!
