Well, that’s another week gone by, in the blink of an eye. It was a decent week – I stuck to my new routine of working just my hours, instead of giving the company another 5-10 hours of my time for no reward. I found, again, that I was way more productive, and I ended the week with no e-mails in my inbox and just the spreadsheets to go through. Happy days!
I went to the gym a couple of times – I did Burn 1 on Tuesday, which felt really tough for some reason, and then had a fab PT session on Thursday. We were down in the new PT suite, which was really nice. I did deadlifts – 1 x 10 x 50kg and then 2 x 10 x 60kg. They felt good – that was the heaviest I’ve lifted since my recent cold. I then did a little mini super-set – 15 x TRX rows and 15 x bench press with 2 x 10kg dumbbells (heaviest I’ve done on those!). I did that 3 times and then it was time for walking lunges – 3 times up and back along the track, and then sled push with 32.5kg on – up and back twice, 3 times. And then some core work – 20 x leg raises and 20 x crunches, repeated twice. I really enjoyed.
So the fitness is going well, but I really need to sort my nutrition. I’m still eating crap and still drinking beer and wine, and so it doesn’t matter how much exercise I do, it’s all for nothing. I don’t know why I do it to myself, honestly!
Last night saw me make a rare visit to the theatre, to see 2:22 – A Ghost Story. I’d always quite fancied it, because I’m a sucker for a spooky tale, but when I saw it was written by Danny Robbins (of Uncanny podcast fame), I knew I had to go. And I’m really glad I did – it was excellent, with some really jumpy bits. And I’m saying no more than that. But if anyone is reading this and hasn’t seen it but has the chance – do go!
