Damn, you beat me to it!

You need that one from South Park that gives you encouragement and rewards.

I cycled 15 miles this morning, then went to the gym. Feelin' good.

CET: The gym is bad for my bank balance : (

Cycled 10 miles today, gym and another 14 tomorrow.

How expensive is your gym?

I rode my bike downtown last Saturday, only to find out that branch was closed on Saturday. To late to go anywhere else.
So Monday morning I went straight to the main post office, but they were closed. No notice of why. So I rode all the way back across town to the office downtown, only to find that they too were closed up tight. Realizing it must be some fucked up holiday I arrived home and verified online that it was Columbus Day. A holiday that should not even exist. It is only given such deference due to the fact that Columbus was an agent of the Vatican.  The only other thing that can be said of Columbus is that he was a slave trader and mass murderer for the cross.

I pay the equivalent of almost fifty quid a month for my gym, so don't feel too bad.

I'm just buying kettle bells and working out at home. 

Fuckin' expensive for just a ball of metal, though.  Still, I can buy a kettlebell every month or two for about the same price as a gym membership.

I like that idea, but realistically I've found that unless I actually get in my car and go to the gym, I just don't do anything. I mean, I'll do some pushups or stuff at home now and then, but there are just too many distractions for me to get a proper workout going.

You have a job.


Also theres a gym in town which is like a tenner a month. You can pause the contract for the months you're not in the city. It's perfect and its aimed at students. If I didnt have to get the uni membership I would so be on that.

Nice. And yeah, I don't actually mind paying what I do for my gym, it's a really nice place.

I'm the exact opposite - if I have to get in my car again after I get home from work, it's probably not happening.  And I hate going to the gym when it's crowded, so the immediate before/after time frame is out for me.

That's one of the things I really like about my gym, it's almost never crowded. And especially not in the middle of the day, when I tend to go. I often have the place almost to myself.

Waiting for my gf to get her stuff for a sleepover last night, I was playing around with a tape measure on her patio table (this isn't going where you think it is, pervs), and it turns out that a day and a half removed from last working out, I have a 40cm neck and 38cm biceps. I have no idea what this means or what normal measurements are, but it surprised me that my neck is thicker than my arms.

Measurements, anyone else? Is this weird? Throw in calves, too, I'll measure those tonight.

43cm calves.

Hey, we don't take kindly to "cm" in these here parts!

My gf is German, and so is her tape measure. Germans don't acknowledge the existence of the inferior imperial system. Psssh.

But here, lmgtfy!

Neck 15.75"
Biceps 14.96"
Calves 16.93"

Hahaha ....

Legs/shoulders/back day today. Feelin' good and I'm fucking stahhhving.

I did 5-10 miles on my bike three times so far this month ...

Nice! I picked up my newly serviced bike today and rode it about 3 miles to my dad's house, then ran quite a bit in the process of taking my stepson to ride his new bicycle. Not bad for being really quite ill.

I gave my daughter my car and started bicycling to work and back about 3 months ago.

I'm still a fat bastard.  But, it's cheaper.

More money for Twinkies ...

... wait!; "stepson"?
