When are you going to be in Melb? I'm away for the next week but if you're here in mid Jan it would be a shame if you, me and Acole didn't at least catch up.

Bodyweight stable again at 89.5. This is good news as I'm barely training at the moment and plan to add some more sessions in next week which will definitely help.

Did about 45 mins of stretching on the legs and hips last night. Feeling ok but left knee seems to have gotten worse again. Need to get back on the anti-inflams a give the quads and IT band a good working over.

Weight stable at 89.5 this morning. It's funny how I (we) lose weight though. I'm pretty sure I looked better in the early 90's than I do now but I think that's just in the way I'm losing the fat. I'm definitely leaner around the top of abs/bottom of ribcage but that is subsequently making my lower stomach look less flattering by comparison. Sticking with it although I fear I will need to get down to 85-86 before I'm truly lean.

Bw low of 89.6 today. Sub 90 for the first times since May where I scraped in at 89.9. Not sure if it's genuine loss or not though. Had too much fish oil yesterday (if you know how that ends) and haven't had creatine in 2-3 weeks. I wanted to end the year sub 90 though so I've got 10 days including Christmas and New Years to solidify that position.

It's funny. I've never been one of those people who feels like life has gotten in the way of fitness. Until now lol. The past few weeks have been pretty crazy on a work and family front and tbh training has actually been the last thing on my mind. Probably doesn't help that I'm still working through what I want to do. Either way I'm feeling like I'm back now. Have done some stretching sessions over the last week but nothing too major or committal.

Yesterday's training:

Floreio Workout-

Shoulder ROM & Stabilization routine & Ido Squat clinic routine

Circuit 1- 3 times through

Slide into low bridge x 5 with 5s hold, rotations into arch using wall x 10, QDR rotational push ups (beginner version) x 10

Circuit 2- 4 times through

Chest to bar pull up eccentric x 15s, Ring Dip eccentric x 10s, cuban rotations x 10 (using dowel)

DB Incline Press- 15 x 9, 12

Pretty interesting session. The floreio whilst not that hard or taxing certainly gets the heart rate up when done consistently. Upper back and lats have all kinds of soreness today which is great too. DB press was included just because. No real good reason.

Thanks mate. She's definitely better but still not 100%. Hopefully it doesn't affect her too much but will still be an awesome experience.

how'd she do??!?!

Finished in 5:47 so an awesome effort.
1.9k swim- 40m
90k ride- 3h03m
21k run- 1h59m
Transition- 5m

She was killing it in the swim and ride and the first 2/3 of the run and then her left shoulder locked and she had to keep stopping to stretch it out. She was hoping to go 10-20 mins quicker but all in all a great job for her first time.

Training has been lax. Have been wondering why I've been so tired and lethargic and then BOOM! Sore throat, headache, aching joints. Here it comes. Hoping this is a short term one I can knock on the head over the next couple of days.

My wife has it worse and unfortunately has a half ironman on Sunday so here's hoping she recovers quickly. She's put in so much time  (10-15 hours per week) for the last 6 months that it would be devastating. Anyway, she's got 2 days to rest so fingers crossed.
