Cleaned my home gym, attended one of Sophia McDermott's online BJJ classes, and did a strength/conditioning work-out. Feeling very glad that, last year when we were looking to buy a house, I insisted to husband it had to be one with space for a home gym.
Took a short nap with the baby (I'm finally old enough to appreciate naps!). Think I'll curl up with a book for the rest of the evening.

Naps are fucking awesome. I don't have a baby, but I have many many naps. :D
Today will be more fiddling with Spotify playlists, prepping for Zoom class teaching tomorrow, and probably watching guinea pigs sprint around the lounge because it's too rainy outside. And almost certainly more random documentaries (soooo pleased I now apparently have Sky Arts on my Freeview box). ;)

Good day everyone!
Yesterday was a great day. Had one of my good friends come for a visit. He is also one of my black belts.
Did a private lesson with him for an hour and then we went out for lunch and a pint.
Spent some quality time with my family and had a nice dinner.
Today is a dark rainy day here so I think I'll be having some Irish cider with my lunch again. Lol
Woke up today and did the Wim Hof Method (3) rounds before getting out of bed. Felt amazing!
Iced for 20 minutes and had coffee and breakfast.
Probably hit the treadmill later on while watching some instructional to keep me entertained.
Then I'll take a cold shower to build my tolerance.
Hope you all have a great Sunday!

Good Morning Everyone!
At work, cold outside. I have to repair a Framing Nail Gun today. Just got the parts yesterday. It will definitely be a Frankenstein nailer when I'm done with it as I am not very mechanically inclined. Lol
Probably leave early today depending on what is going on.
Anyway, Have a great day!

Had to come home because the furnace in my home was not working. Now just waiting on the repair man to get it going.
Freezing in here at the moment. Fireplace on so it will get warmer soon. Dreading to know what it's going to cost me.

Working in my office watching instructional videos. It’s nice to get paid and get to learn.

I am hooked on taking cold showers and filling the tub with cold water and getting in it. Been like this since I started doing the hot/cold immersions.
Seems like the more time I spend in cold water the better my body feels and the more energy I seem to have. Of course the breathing really makes a difference.
I think everyone who trains should do this. Seems to have an effect on my recovery time from working out.

Good Morning All!!
Today will be a short workday as the furnace guy has to come back to replace the motor.
He got the furnace working but the motor is in pretty bad shape.
Wish I could have stayed in bed. Getting up at 4:30am everyday becomes tedious and sleeping in is a luxury.
Isn't it funny that you only feel like you can sleep when you have to get up and when you don't you wake up early anyway. That's my life. Lol
No class tonight but will probably be teaching and drilling with my sons later this afternoon.
It's -7°C here today so pretty chilly out.
Hoping you all have a great day!!

^^Just wait until she reaches her teens.
Raphael is the best of the turtles! Good choice there.
Woke up super early, looked for work, made some wallpapers with GIMP, ate too much. Back to sleep. Woke up super early again with an ice power gel down by my feet and a tired doggo in my arm pit. What the hell? Since then I've been mostly just confused.
I wish it was minus something already. These +3 C to + 10 C days suck for November.

Ha - just woke up from a nap myself. My sleep pattern is all over the place, plus I frequently have insomnia. So even before lockdown meant every day was the same, I regularly had to double check my phone to work out what the hell day it was. ;)

Wow, awesome! What are all the games you have in there? Though I wasn't much of an arcade person, I did spend a lot of time over a few summers as a teen, in Turkish arcades near where my grandparents lived, playing Street Fighter II and Altered Beast. I was rubbish at it, but good times. :D

I have star wars, golden tee, teenage mutant Ninja turtles, PAC man, final fight, mortal Kombat, rampage, Street fighter, marvel super heros, and burger time. Each arcade has several games in it.

Very nice! Was it crazy expensive to kit your house out with that many machines? I've no idea what they cost (I'm happy enough with emulators on my phone, but yeah, naturally not quite the same experience ;) )

IK+ on the Amiga back in the late 80s/early 90s was my jam, though I'm too young to have played the original in the arcades. Now I want to go play that on my phone again. :D
EDIT; Ooo, and Yie Ar Kung Fu on the Spectrum, that was great. Also why I still think tonfa are cool. ;)

I played the original(s) in the arcades back in the day and also on an emulated version on my iphone until it was discontinued a few years back :) can't remember whether it was also available on my Atari ST as memory has faded

Good Morning!
Here at work this morning.
Promises to be a productive day. Planning on teaching regular class tonight.
Tomorrow they will be making a big announcement here about a lockdown that is looming.
They are talking full lockdown but who knows. We will see.
If so, training will be suspended again.
Anyway, I am wishing you all well and hope you have a great day.

Got hit in the eye for the first time while rolling today. No mark (thank goodness; I can do without the pitying battered woman stares) but felt light-headed all day.

We got some heavy wet snow yesterday and I decided it was the perfect weather for a mtb run with the doggo. Well it was fun and the dog loves the snow, but man, the cleaning up afterwards was a PITA. Couldn't scrape all the ice off the bike or the helmet, so had to bring the bike inside. Fun factor was 10/10, danger factor on the trails 9/10. I don't think I'll do it again in the same weather. Unless I have to take the bike to get to training tonight. :D

Wife fried up all the fish the kids caught.
I knew there were several reasons I married that woman.

My wife ate all my fish sticks before I got home from practice. I went to the grocery store and got her veggie balls and crisps. Leave my fish sticks alone!
