    • I have absolutely no idea, but now I'm very intrigued by it.
    • Before I forget:   Weekly weigh-in   Weight: 92.5 kg (+0.15) Body fat: 22.2 % (+0.9)       And I think I'm going to introduce the kids to the female-fronted metal band Exit Eden. Mainly to see their heads explode when they recognise the song and try to process that info... 😅   Exit Eden - Impossible (Shontelle cover)
    • Start weight: 92.0 kg / 202.8 lbs 06/09: 93.5 kg / 206.1 lbs 13/09: 92.35 kg / 203.6 lbs 27/09: 92.5 kg / 203.9 lbs (+0.15 / +0.3)   Meh. Acceptable.
    • Late to the party, but here now (which is what counts). still struggling with the recovery from a very nasty sprained ankle, so this is more a watching i dont snack exercise for me.    hopefully will help keep me on track (at least with the regular weighing) in the lead up to xmas.    we just had a house guest for 2 weeks and i managed to out on 3pounds what with eating out and not being able to exercise as much as normal. So frustrating
    • Thank goodness, because it was painful to type that!

    • That Polaroid picture gives off "Hang in there!" inspirational poster vibes... Except you look happier. 😊
    • So apparently my turn around for these forums is about every three years 😅   But I'm back because I wanted to find my old stats, take a look at what I used to be working on, and celebrate this win - I went to the gym yesterday! Went with a housemate, for a learn to lift class, and the way I got home buzzing. I forgot how much I liked the fact that I'm strong.   I also got a pull up bar for my door bout a month ago, and I'm already at a 7sec deadhang - I think I could go longer but my grip  strength is what needs work.   So, current stats: Weight: 110kg, 242.5lbs Height: 169cm Waist: 118cm, 46.5" Hip: 122cm, 48" Chest: 131cm, 51.5" Thigh: 69cm, 27" Upper Arm: 38.5cm, 15"   Current habit goals: 1) Hit the gym twice a week. I can come home straight away if I want. 2) Snack on carrots in the afternoon daily. 3) Phone off by midnight.   Other goals, complete by the end of October: 1) Go to that kung fu place once. 2) Get at least one driving lesson. I'll probably have to delay my test again, but I want two hours to get comfy. 3) Get a credit card. I want to start thinking about being good for a mortgage.   Other goals, complete by the end of the year: 1) Get the pay rise, or have a new job. 2) Be able to do a single pull-up or push-up. 3) Tell Jay I'm interested. Practice a harness tie.   Other goals, complete by the start of next September: 1) Pass my driving test. 2) Be in a new house. Either w/ the housemates or buy my own. 3) Complete the Riven System mechanics (ttrpg I'm developing).
    • Large company: they have time and money, which breeds laziness without governance.   But then again, that's also why I enjoy working at the desk island I'm at. Both my colleagues to my left and in front of me are from the same "quality before quantity" mold, which means we can regularly commiserate about others'  idiocies. Blatant spelling or grammar mistakes tend to get lampshaded by me with a *very* theatrical "AAH! MY EYES!!!", which usually prompts both of them to come look at my screen so they can get in on the joke. 😅   Overall, colleagues that tend to always do a good job are easily spotted, and will spot you as well. Makes for good bonding... 😁         Whatever's been ailing the missus last week - and me this week - is still not over, but it seems to be getting better. Less headache-y and thus also less irritable. Which will get poor grammar-users a bit more leeway. Or at least a bit less ire. 😇 With the exception of Wednesday (where I got to bed really early for my doing), I've been keeping up well with the mini-workouts. Wrist exercises were a bit more minimalistic on Wednesday and yesterday, but that's because I had physio on Wednesday morning and my wrist could use a bit of additional rest after that.   Log for this week so far:   Week 3   M T W T F S S Intermittent fasting               Calorie intake               Calories spent               Calories in/out deficit               Coffee consumption               Curfew               Sleep               Avg. sleep 7h04 Steps               Avg. steps 14.9K Distance 28.60 km Wrist exercises               Workouts 3 Days with (mini-)workouts 1.5       And in other news, I may have angered TimovieDaughter a little. She's a massive fan of Melanie Martinez, and Mrs. Movieman is taking her to a Melanie Martinez concert on Sunday. Since almost nobody here has ever heard of Melanie Martinez, I have described her to relatives as "A singer who finished 4th in one of the earlier The Voice seasons in the US. She looks like a cross between Barbie and Cruella de Vil." That last part didn't sit well with TimovieDaughter. Even if - according to her Wiki page - Melanie Martinez did in fact start dyeing her hair two-tone because she liked the look of (Glenn Close's) Cruella de Vil... 😅   On the bright side: I can use the concert time to watch The Return of the King with TimovieSon... 😎         Here's a Belgian band that were at Alcatraz last year, as a last-minute replacement for Overkill who withdrew. Classic 80s metal, but performed by younger musicians.   Evil Invaders - In Deepest Black
    • Imean, if you screw it up porridge and oat broth are kind of adjacent on the cookery spectrum 😆
