You must have had more cheese than I did.

I went to the running room, I needed a zero lift pair mainly for squats and deadlifts. With a discount they were $170. The most I've ever spent, I usually get reeboks/Nike from winners:rofl: apparently I should be proud of my deadliest, already lifting 95lbs only been doing those bad boys for 6 weeks, my arms are still like noodles though:lol:

I eat junk food whenever I like but so far it hasn't been too detrimental *evil grin*

The diet for cheese lovers is Atkins, especially if you happen to be partial to bacon too.

Confesssional: I often leave various house lights on over night, not necessarily on purpose, just can't be faffed. Neighbors must think we're mad. At least some are on timers. Note to self: sort it out.

Yeah, my trainer was getting me to take my trainers/runners off for squats but that was outlawed by the management, so now I have minimalist, zero rise or whatever they are shoes:rofl:

I know...but according to the ‘experts’ the things that are bad for you...next week it’s good for you. :rolleyes:

Everything in moderation...I do try to moderate my sugar intake by not buying chocolate, biscuits and cake...and my favourite...Grand Marier.

That's because sugar is a drug. Switch to 75%+ cocoa chocolate.

Where did you have your poutine, and was it worth it? That's my Achilles heel.
