Great FBG & workout, aren’t you fed up with protein powder now?
Bikes great thanks, just ordered some cycling shorts & cycling top, apparently doing a longer bike ride on Sunday just hope it’s not going to be too windy
Pleased you’re nearly there with your wisdom teeth, pleased now I had all mine dug out as a teenager, no room for them
Enjoy your day

Yesterday's Activity:

4 times around the circuit below:

Wisdom teeth should've had mine out! But when referred to Dental hospital the resident quirky "Dr House" kept insisting there was not going to be a problem and my dentist was wrong to send me there. Of course dentist was right .. not quite enough room for the wisdom teeth and they have damaged a couple of teeth as a consequence. But not hey too bad .. nearly sorted now.

The bikes sound great! Enjoy the summer on them. Great that your husband is a keen biker too. Were you both into triathlons or something?

I am pretty sick of the Huel .. finding new stuff to add to it to make it more palatable, almond oil, banana essence, different protein powders LOL .. when this tooth is crowned I'm going to a buffet!!

Have a great day mate .. delighted to see how consistently good your FBGs are now! Awesome!!

PS added parallel bar dips to my routine yesterday ... awesome exercise. Heavy kettlebell rounds later today .. less taxing than the bodyweight circuits, but still burns energy.

Have a great day!

Great FBG, what has happened to cauliflower rice?
Husband, daughter & son have all done marathons, I’ve only managed a couple of half’s, did tough mudder half with daughter a couple of years ago
Keep being asked to do a tri, (tri club is based at the gym) don’t think I’ll ever do it, can do all 3 disciplines easily enough but really don’t want to get out a pool with wet hair, put a bike helmet on, cycle 22k then have to take it off & run, I’d want a hot shower & blow dry my hair after swimming, no intentions of wearing a swimming cap either
Enjoy your day

Nice short routine
75 minutes on peleton was hard, set into segments of hard work & recovery, did get a pb though
Going for a short ride this morning before work to stretch my legs out, going to be another long day at work but having tomorrow off as it’s going to be hot, going to laze in the garden after the gym
Enjoy your day

I can't be bothered with the cauli rice anymore .. just saves time to put loads of veggies in the food and the Huel is plant based so lots of fibre int hat too.

Looking good out there today .. too good to be stuck in front of a desk working!!

Great routine, still don’t know how you can drink so many protein shakes
New libre failed again yesterday so had to change it again, left a nice bruise on my arm
Off to the gym at 7 then having a day in the garden in the sun, got the factor 50 ready
Enjoy your day at your desk
