Getting it in...

Wow, two weeks into having the boys home.
Sleep...what is that?
Oh yeah that's the time at night that seems to last 5 mins between feeds.
Oh well.
The boys are getting the gains, so the important people are being looked after.
Wait, I'm important too.

Including a home gym workout and a half hour leg session that was cut short for a call to arms on the home front, today marked the 3rd time at the gym over two weeks.

Knowing that the "getting back into the gym thing" was not going to be smooth for the first part of fatherhood, I looked after what I was eating to make sure that the time away from gym was not spent permabulking.

I have gotten some of my home gym equipment back from a friend I had loaned it too and now with a quick garage clean out,  I will set up shop again to make sure that, when time or circumstances don't permit it, a session can still be had.

Fitness is going to remain high priority even as a busy father. It always has been one of my goals since starting this blog.

So watch this space for some interesting set ups that I will use to convert my third garage into a workout hub!

Post gym selfie game strong!

I once was lost but now, am found!

Ok so another week had passed, away from gym and home.

I had been stricter on my diet, no deserts after dinner and keeping it as healthy as one can while not shopping for yourself.

I had participated in a wickedly energised box fit class with the family I was staying with and gone for two 5 km cardio interval runs.

But my muscles yearned for more! I wanted to achieve that pump. It's mentally tormenting to be away from the norm. But I had to be there for my family. Two to three weeks away from it all wont be a bad thing, it will make me hungry.

I had measured myself after the first week of being dormant and well fed, this increased my body fat percentage on the gym scales to the low 20%. While weight gain was minimal.

Since being back, all be it only about half a week, I have hammered the gym sessions quite well, getting those post day DOMS like I was a virgin again.

Weigh in results for Sunday, 13.9%body fat and a good weight to start from.

So what's in store for the near future? More gym, but looking to get back into the game a little more with getting back into supplements to help grow and acheive more personal bests and recover better.

I have a military obstacle course to complete in early November,  so I want to be on point for that too.

Ain't nothing gonna stop me being strong for my boys! Nothing!
