Being able to comfortably do a 3rd world squat is actually really fucking useful

Yep, saves fcuking up your knees when changing brake pads on a car.

Or lubing a bike chain in a wet garden

Oooooh Errr. Sounds filthy!

Whichever is the easiest :+1:

My two try playing food police every now and then. Doesnā€™t last!

As long as you havenā€™t stalled and are still losing weight then slow but steady is best.

Hmmm i are disappoint. Only managed 20 push ups today. Iā€™d hoped after two days rest I would have had a wee jump, but naw.

Yesterdayā€™s ride ended up being harder than Iā€™d intended, because I got chatting to a couple of other cyclists and a bit carried away riding with them,

My legs feel full of fatigueā€¦

Keeping things in perspectiveā€¦

My goal might be 30+ push ups by end of the year, but I have maintained the strength to do at least 3x10 for the entire year since I built up to that. I didnā€™t manage that last year.

My bodyweight has been pretty stable at 65-67kg since I got back down to that in the spring.

I can run 5k- couldnā€™t do that at the start of the year. I havenā€™t been able to do that for about 10 years!

Iā€™ve been able to do at least one chin up for most of the year

Iā€™ve built up to and maintained a level of cycling fitness thatā€™s enabled me to do the club rides, and pretty much anything else that Iā€™ve fancied- without feeling messed up or unfocused at work or home, or burning out.

Looks like too much overall work fatigue.

Two quick questions -

  1. Did you consistently up your daily protein intake?
  2. Did you get 8 hrs sleep a night on a consistent basis?
  1. Yes and 2) no

Sleep is one area where my lifestyle has room for improvement

Last night for e.g. I was in bed for 8 hours but I wasnā€™t asleep for all of them- it took time to get to sleep then was a bit broken by daughter getting up, and I was awake/dozing for 30 mins or so before i got up

Yet another way in which our society is really really fucking unhealthy
