the overwhelming urge to train the exact same muscle groups on consecutive days (i'm too old for that)

trying to make the most of the weather but i am frying tbh

potential 35/36 degrees in london next tuesday? i hate this place

thee worst workout

hope you sleep well

been a bit ill this week but it's given me some time to reflect on what's possible and can i just reiterate, 30 < 38

i keep coming on here and saying 'jesus i've had the most trying week' kind of in the hope that it’s the END of those yet HERE I AM JESUS I HAVE HAD THE MOST TRYING WEEK-

am i doing this backwards (2018 v 2026)

who is protecting who

my requirements for sunday dinner are that it's comforting/filling/restorative; sam delivered once again

cut my hair etc

epic workout today

risotto primavera; pancetta garlic button mushrooms shallots leeks spring onions parsley stems broad beans sugar snap peas broccoli asparagus green peas taleggio pecorino lemon zest scallops pernod basil that was a HEFTY cooking experience, but v delicious

cooking a REALLY involved risotto tonight 😮‍💨 there's so many steps in the recipe + extras that sam has added. but if it works i think it’ll be damn tasty

post abs pre 84g protein shake

this is very josh lyman 'president bartlet has a secret plan to fight inflation' (iykyk)

ended the latest in a series of tiring, challenging weeks at work with a really positive conversation with someone i admire deeply about my future career path and i suddenly feel a lot lighter

adding ab exercises into my routine has been the easiest thing ever like, you mean i just get to lay on the floor for the majority of a 30min workout and stare at the ceiling listening to music?! bliss

wfh helper

still grinding btw

saw a grown man drinking a bottle of ribena on the train home and idk if it's just my decaying brain neurons after an incredibly long three days but it filled me with abject disgust

how's your wednesday i've been up since 04:45am 🫨

fyi chino founded deftones when he was 14 in 1988 which is the year i was born and now i'm alive and 38 and he is alive and 52 and i feel like i have a lot of catching up to do in the next 14yrs

so close to buying a bass guitar (again). had a very in-depth conversation with my therapist yesterday about needing to do something physical and tangible that also doesn't physically exhaust me/require external validation and i feel like re-learning an instrument is pretty perfect

dinner

'YOU'LL KEEP STALLING FAT LOSS UNTIL YOU FIX THIS ONE THING READ CAPTION 👇🏻' caption is 2000 words which all say 'you're eating too much' LIKE AND FOLLOW FOR MORE

cut my hair also. having a reset weekend. no more bad vibes only progress, even if it's small.

saturday is our treat day, i'm cooking risotto as usual (same as last week but hopefully better). sam just made a gin; took a sip and thought yeah that tastes good, and he casually says 'btw that's 75ml gin because the bottle was almost empty' so good luck to me i guess, hope i can make the rice hot

Puss puss 💋 @knate-thorne.bsky.social

always a bigger fan of 'before' photos, except for myself, because gay trauma

perello olives: 👍🏻 perello olives from the fridge: 🫨💃🚀

did abs today but

gn

pump (it's strawberry trifle from last night)

if normal people won the lottery i feel like they'd be sensible and buy property or something but i'd just curate the most badass music festival in my living room and pay every band £250k for a five song set

i have had the most mentally tempestuous two weeks

pull was mid, brain on fire

just ate pomegranate seeds two days past the use-by date and i think they might have actually been slightly alcoholic

post workout

pre workout

made a very good risotto

love that i've probably spent hundreds of pounds over the years on oversized t shirts from various different brands and all i really needed to do was buy an xl t shirt and crop it myself

walking back from the shops turned into a prolonged farmer's walk with how heavy the bags were 😮‍💨

protein shake i buy has gone up £15 for the big tub so i switched to a different one which is actually just as nice and now all the flavours have sold out. back to foraging with the foxes in the park for my protein fix i guess

went to get tomatoes and gherkins

idk why i keep picking up various huel products expecting them to somehow miraculously taste palatable at some point

👍🏻

funny how as a gay you can look at a photo of yourself objectively and think, yeah ok that's hot, and then you see literally any other photo of any other gay and you're like, ok so to make the world better i should just die i'm fine btw! just wrestling with the passing of time / the loss of youth

Just remembered people think things about me 🤮
