So yesterday I went for a 5km run and did my first no-alcohol day the year. There’ll now need to be many more of both of those.
Sad times.

Do you leave near any silver birch trees? These are well known to initiate an allergy to other things. We have two monsters in our garden and I have developed a mild allergy to some fruits as a result, as well as not doing my hay fever any favours. As you say research points to this happening. Eyes started itching two days agoI started to develop food intolerances from about mid-30s. Am now intolerant of gluten, lactose, and many nuts and fruits. There is research that indicates that some fruit and nut intolerances/allergies are synonymous with allergies like hayfever, ie if you are allergic to the pollens of certain plants/trees, you can develop a reaction too to eating their fruit/seeds, particularly during the pollen season. Reading that research made a lot of sense of my particular hayfever and fruit/nut related reactions. Still, at least no intolerance to meat or fish..
By the way, a peanut is actually a bean not a nut....
Sod the vest, Dan, I reckon with a carefully chosen diet you could easily add your very own natural 'weight vest', powered by kebabs, ice cream, burgers and beer.On the subject of feeling like plateauing; due to not having the usual array of gym equipment, we've not been really measuring and recording increases in weights and suchlike, more just maintaining a routine.
I have a pull up bar mounted to the wall in the carport, which I'd not really used as my truck was parked in front of it. Since moving into a new building at work, my truck now lives there, which means the pull up bar came back into use.
At the beginning of the month reps of a rather feeble 6 chin ups was all I could manage, since then I've been doing them every day. Yesterday I managed 3 sets of 10 whilst wearing a 10kg weighted vest, and then 15 without the vest as a finisher. It was really very satisfying to experience such an improvement in a relatively short period of time.
Apparently the world record is 54 in a minute, something to aim for perhaps
Baldness 1 Full head of hair 0Finished this morning's session with a standing fly drop set. 10kg for 10, 5kg for 15, 2kg for 15, just arms held up for 15 secs, and finally 20 arm raises (flapping).
After 3 sets of that I'm going to struggle to wash my hair in the shower!

I don't envy your drains.I've been struggling to get in the calories for this bulking phase, but yesterday I managed 4,213 calories!
The secret was 800g pasta bake for breakfast, Italian meat selection and olives for lunch and half a chicken with veg for dinner, and a pint of Guinness.
All in all about 2kg of food!! yet this morning's weigh in showed the same weight as the day before ??
Only 1 pint? That‘s the recipe for a losing weight diet, not a gaining weight one!I've been struggling to get in the calories for this bulking phase, but yesterday I managed 4,213 calories!

6 weeks in and 9lb down, body fat and BMI both coming down nicely too
Yup, works very well particularly if you’re prone to evening snacking temptations.Just wondered, has anyone done the 8 hour eating window diet? Where you only eat between midday - 8pm.
Thanks
