Fate plays the straight man

I came out of the office intending to turn right and go to the gym but noticed Pete and Mark enjoying a social drink under the bandstand. I wandered over to say hello, one thing led to another - it would have seemed churlish to refuse the offer to join them - so I was thrown a day off by life.

Buffet
pork chops

much lager

Pathetic !

I fully intended a little Gym-age this lunchtime.
I was on the pop all day yesterday and I am more than jaded.
I changed ready to train then, noticing that I had my bathers on I whopped off the T and went for a sauna instead.
Lazy Git !!

Ethos

Shall I enlist the services of a personal trainer for a month or two ?
I have been taking training too easily of late and I need to rediscover the eye !

Now, when we fought, you had that eye of the tiger, man; the edge! And now you gotta get it back, and the way to get it back is to go back to the beginning. You know what I mean?
See that look in their eyes, Rock? You gotta get that look back, Rock. Eye of the tiger, man

Crocked

Seems I've been doing Muay Thai for a year now. Ironically, training is in limbo this week as I am still injured from sparring on Monday. All I could manage yesterday was:

The Fray

I went all Henry V last night and with my courage to the sticking point I reentered the gym !

20 Minutes X-Trainer
1km treadmill run - 10-14KmH
A few concentration curls and a few curl and presses.

I am extremely out of shape - unless you consider a large beer gut to be a pleasing aspect ?

Loads of food but no booze.

Time to get back on track !
