    I slept poorly from about 0430 today, so didn't end up going for my scheduled run. Fucking miserable weather anyway.

    Thought about doing it when I got home, as it seemed to clear, then the rain swept in again. Go home, Sydney Spring weather - you drunk!

    So tonight I thought I'd test out my maximums for chinups, taking suitable breaks in between each set to recover, to see how the regular work was suiting me. Pretty well as it turns out:

    5 supinated
    4 neutral grip
    3 pronated

    All were full hang, and max reps in a single set based on good form. Fatigue probably played a part in each set, as well as the shoulder injury, but I'm happy with that as I can feel it right through the core.

    EDIT: And some core work and stretching exercises from Pilates, because why the fuck not?

    Hoping to get out for a run tomorrow morning, but "scattered showers clearing" is the forecast so it might have to be at work.

    Nope. Still raining.

    So instead of getting around the local streets in a sweat, Mrs TA and I got around each other in a sweat.

    It has been one of the weirder weeks in recent memory.

      Exactly the same for me. She just wanted to get home and sleep.

            Weigh in: 96.5kg
            Chest 113cm
            Waist 106cm
            How 107cm

            Some good numbers overall.

            92kg in 5 weeks from here might be a bit if a stretch, but it's possible

                    Very relaxed weekend on the eating front, particularly Sunday when we went to see friends and the cake we picked up was second-slice worthy.

                    So last night I did to-fail sets of chinups (5), neutral grip (3), and pullups (3). 5 sets of 10 pushups then some Pilates stretching and core.

                    I now fit back into one of my favourite t shirts which is good, as well as a couple of other garments.

                    On the relationship front it was... Well it was fairly amazing, actually. Maybe the message got through, despite the drama, as the levels of affection have definitely increased. We'll see how it survives the chocolate wheel that is the menstrual cycle πŸ˜‰ as well as work and other family shit.

                    Got up for a run this morning and literally as I was tying my shoes on the front step, it started to rain. Been wet as an otter's pocket the last week in Sydney. Abandoned that shit. Might do other body weight tonight like squats n lunges n shit

                                          when it rains it pours!! β˜‚

                                          ps I ain't talking about the rain! :oncoming_fist:

                                          Soon @NTA will be bitching about being tired from all the sex and his clingy missus!

                                          The irony being I got a lot more sex back then πŸ€”

                                          But that's always the case with a new relationship. Clearly I've got a great personality.

                                          I've met you. Can confirm this is 100% wrong.

                                          You must be rich.
