It’s BEAUTIFUL!! High-five!! And those burgers don’t look too shabby either!
Tell your daughter congratulations and give her a big hug from me too. I’m excited for her!
And…
this x2. Your log is a “must read” for me. There’s always something to celebrate and/or make me smile. I love that you’re “real” and that you share your “real”.
I was just about to write that @QuadQueen would be just fine with those burgers, and then I saw her come in for the confirm. Grassfed beef is good stuff. It’s even Mountain Dog and Deep Water approved! Haha. Always great stuff happening here.
I totally get this. It’s hard to find anyone who talks about it let alone anyone who understands it. That’s why I am so lucky to have @wiseman83 as a friend. He lives a days drive away but we message most days about this training and other life stuff. It’s great to have people who want / like / need to do this stuff.
Glad you enjoy the log, having positive people like you read and comment is very motivating. Salute.

Stop putting subliminal workout ideas in my brain 
. Thanks Pwn always nice to hear from you.
Appreciate the sentiment, and the feeling is mutual sir!
Plus I also like reminding you how old you are.

Strongman Saturday session was overhead medley.

Back was proper pumped from all the cleans after this.
Trying to stay on track with my food at weekends. It’s usually the time I do the worst as I don’t have pre prepared meals. Breakfast is always eggs so that is easy. For lunch today I found some left over beef casserole in the fridge. It was mostly gravy and didn’t have too much meat in it. So when I fired the kids an egg each for their lunch, I fried 4 more for me and put them in the casserole. You should have seen the look of disgust on my families face, as they all said. “What are you doing?” I just smiled and said “having lunch”.
Same. SAME!
I’ve begun worrying that the kids aren’t going to want to eat at my house anymore because of the food changes, e.g. mixed white/brown rice, adding egg whites into the scrambled eggs, etc, but that (and this is the worst thing) they won’t view it as training person’s food, but rather old people’s food.
Because my grandma’s food was super questionable to me as she got older. White raisins and other horrors.
Ooops fat thumbs.
I think my grandma and your grandma must have grocery shopped together. Lol. I haven’t thought about white raisins in forever! Thanks for that flashback.
