That is better than YouTube, that's for sure!

Seriously. I hate you tube. I will watch it for instructions on how to do a thing, maybe, sometimes.... I hate videos in general for information presentation. I would rather have a thing to read w MAYBE short vids/pics to illustrate as needed. I don't understand how kids just zone out to it

Friend had to work this morning. Kids have school. I went to her gym near her job and will bike "home". Should get there abt when she does. 31 km sounds far, I will pretend it is just 10 miles. Eating a snack at Tim Hortons first tho so I do not just run out of steam along the way lol. Also bc I <3 Tim Hortons.

Did you do 31k on a bike? That's crazy!

Sounds like today will be a good day to sit on toilet. Toilets are only thing that don't hurt your bum after some bum on bike seat warfare.

Pro tip: You can't have pain in the butt from a bike seat if you remove the bike seat.







Probably don't want to follow that pro tip.

I did.... 26ish km on bike, but maybe longer. I took some wrong turns/long cuts at the start. Thrn towards the end it started raining so I stayed in a gazebo 5km from friend's house and told her to get me otw home from work lol.

first I was warring w seat bc friend is shorter then me. Then I fixed it ..but it didn't lock. That really hurt 500 yards later. THEN I really fixed it but ouch I understand padded bike shorts, now. At one point I contemplated locking bike to a tree and walking LOL.

Bike seats can be evil! When I lived in Grand Junction we were next to the Kokopelli trail so I took up cross country and a bit of downhill biking. And I ended up getting not only padded shorts but also a girl specific seat!

Rest and Rec

Having a strange sore half sick feeling day, think it is just stress letdown and too much junk food rebound. Made some banana oat bread bc I had almost dead bananas, did not do much else useful today. Going to force lots of fluids in case.

Pic from trip in which I don't hate myself:

You are more buff than that chick in the hat. Just saying.

Lol thanks aveoturbo. I actually get self consious in pics w her bc she is just so that petite, small framed ideal that I feel like a frumpy amazon in comparison lol.

My order was bizaro today bc gym was full. Also I have gone totally off the reservation really from Nias program somehow w all my extra shit. Added pulldowns to my rows/scap shrugs bc still avoiding assisted chin machine out of self preservation. Went lighter on rdls to get more reps in. My back is feeling more stable, Im happy. Need to work on setting up hip thrusts bc I like these more then kickback machine (altho that isolates glute better I think). Also, either I am sickish still or just freaked out (I know first day of new job is the 29th.... but not time/who to report to wtf) bc I felt spent earlier then usual in workout. Actually dropped self on floor after last rep/2nd set of trx rows >.>

You probably have told it somewhere earlier but since I've only returned recently I'll ask it. What will your new job be?

Vliegendegieter I actually haven't told it yet, will when I start ^^

Strange workout day today and strange food day so far. (Not logging food this week to just stop stressing, will start fresh week 2 of new job.)

Walked 6-7 miles to gym my trainer moved to (was going to take bus. It was 3 busses.... w weekend schedule...fuck that). Did class. 10 mins of circuit which was mostly strength stuff, 10 mins abs, 20 mins squats and lunges that I picked up a 10kg sandbag for then was embarrassed to put down (over 100 squats), 5mins stretches. Got to push a sled...she promised to put real weight on it next time lol. Had fun, someone insisted to drive me home.

Prolly best bc it was super hot out. So far today my food has been:
-banana protein bread I made other day, cherries, chorizo, ice coffee
-ice coffee w flavor, banana
-more ice coffee, small chocolate chip cookie, electrolyte tablet chewed on like a Flintstone vitamin
-MORE iced coffee, another banana

I have also had over 2l of water and am still thirsty. So I am taking an epsom salt bath bc Im assuming the fact I twice decided coffee shop bananas were worth 1$ means I need electrolytes. My life goals for the rest of the day include cooking/consuming an actual meal (yesterdays dinner was ice cream....day before was a bag of broccoli tots) and hanging on couch w cats. Maybe I will do challanges, maybe I will double up tomorrow.

You're not the only thirsty person here today. It won't surprise if my water count would be reaching nearly 3l.
