Wow pups , it’s day 21 of lockdown in LA . The screws keep tightening . Face masks are recommended for outside excursions . Our local supermarket has asked the public to wear them on entry . There’s a train of thought around here that our parks and open spaces maybe next on the black ban list . The net looks to be closing . The news coverage tonight doesn’t bring a lot of optimism . It’s grim when the chief medical officer of the US says it’s gonna be a bad week …” Our Pearl Harbour moment , the baddest and saddest week of many of our lives was quoted . When I looked at this bottle of wine I thought fuck it “Why not , let’s drink to the weeks ahead , it’s gonna be sketchy .” The label depicts the mood , fortunately the contents don’t .
Tomorrow starts Spring Break for us . The kids get a week off from home school …….fucking great , just what you need in lockdown . To add to that we’ve got 4 days of rain forecast . With a full moon on Tuesday , it’s gonna be hunky dory .
I’ve been working out like a demon . Running , yoga , workouts , eating ,drinking ,eating ,drinking and “cheers darl ,top me up .”..drinking . I’m honestly starting to feel like Plugger. (To my American friends plugger is a legendary sportsman who was definitely not thin .) I remember when the Saints would do press conferences and they would always said he was as fit as he’d ever been ,even though he looked like a bus . I actually look at my output on a weekly basis and it’s growing . I’m running faster , my Garmin tells me that my heart rate is dropping , I’m getting fitter . My workouts are daily ,my step count is increasing but so is my gut . On a positive my nuts are as free as they’ve been since I was a baby . 21 days jock free . Thank good for workout shorts with the built in hammock . No need to dress to impress in a lockdown , put the underwear in storage .
Of course in these times the kitchen gets a good workout . On scrolling through Facebook for the 16th time before lunchtime I came across fellow Aussie expat Jodies pictures of home made sausage rolls . “You beaudy , that’s what I’m gonna do darl .” And geezus , the supermarket wait was worth it , as ole uncle Troy delivered some fine sausage rolls to the fitness regime .
For now pups … We’re all healthy to date . Me ,I’m faster ,stronger , fitter and fatter than I’ve been for a long while . Cheers to good health
