Generally people don’t ask questions on forums. They incorrectly phrase and end statements with a question mark. 99% of all “how does my plan look?” posts are really “look how good my plan looks.”

Also confession. The moment after I posted on the transformation thread I started entering everything into myfitness pal, or as I like to call it, myfatnesspal, without even planning to. Wasn’t even going to start the deficit yet. The brain works in wierd ways.

My wife just manipulated me into promising to give up smoking as a New Year resolution. She always does shit like this with tears and an impeccable sense of timing so I don’t realize I’m being played until after I agree to what she wants. But since the actual word used to describe smoking in mandarin is “smoking cigarettes”, I’ll just go back to smoking cigars.

My wife likes to measure the wrongness of her actions by how the people who are impacted react. Regardless of how evil she is being.
For example, we are staying with people ATM. We arrived early and my wife promptly took the largest room.
Then a family larger than ours with a <6 month old arrive.
My wife waits for them to settle then says she thinks our room is larger and might be better for them. Then gets me to ask if they want to swap rooms.
Having already unpacked and common politeness, the people say their room is fine.
Recieving the news, my wife says she knew everyone would be happy with this arrangement. Zero guilt.
Later, in the car. I tell her that was a dick move. Which starts a tirade about how I think she’s selfish and I’ve ruined the trip for her.
Which, I completely expected to get so I dropped the okay, we’ll pack up and go after we get back. Which started tears…
What hope do we men have? lol

I’m giving up tobacco for New Year as well. Going to have to buy one of those stupid vape things for the rare occasion when I get high.

No kidding. Most people who commute like that do it for years. I wouldn’t personally. I’d find a new gig. I leave the country for months at a time. Some people wouldn’t do that.
You work two days a week?
Ha! No. I work 3 days in an office away from home. The other 4 days I work at my home office or our main office.
I see. That’s a busy schedule. Hope it pays off for you.
There it is, that damn high handle only trap bar!
Nice rings though, miss being able to use them and pretty jealous.

Hogmanay last night - I went to the gym.
New Year’s Day today - I went to the gym.
My gym is in a shopping centre with windows so shoppers can look in (I dunno why - it’s weird). People walking past would have seen me in there and might’ve thought to themselves that I was dedicated, really motivated or whatever.
Truth is I just had nothing going on. Nothing at all.

I was wondering the same thing 
I enjoyed reading Puff’s posts and perspective.
And welcome back, @Irishman92! How’s training going?

Aw thanks mate!
Training is going really well. I’ve improved my muscular endurance and aerobic capacity by a rather large margin whilst maintaining my top end strength. My 70-90% of 1RM reps strength has decreased a bit though. I’ve also gotten a lot better at shooting and working in a team… But I have also lost 10kg which I wasn’t entirely happy about.

I shouted “it will never last!” At a jogger this morning out the car window on my way to work. I do this to every jogger I see in January.
