Men's running tights that is
well, to say the least, I was really rather dubious over the claims the company that makes these was making.... 'magic', 'amazing', 'wonderous', matterial blah blah, etc., etc., - all no doubt necessary to attempt justify the astounding well-over £100 a pair, they charge for them that's, a lot of money, for, what is, afterall, basically, a synthetic matterial pair of tights/leggings, with a fairly high spandex content.... 'four way stretch' bleh blah blah...

So. I happened apon them, reduced to just £18 a pair.... Ok... I figured if they're no good for the gym, I can always wear them as leggings anyhow, with a dress or skirt

so I ordered a pair, they came a couple days ago, and today, I tried them out at the gym, as it was my gym day with my PT, which is always the hardest workout of the week....

30 minutes on the treadmill (5K).

60 squats, with added 10 high jumps, with the bar on my back, after each set of 10 squats).
40 high kicks, doubled legged, inside the weird climbing frame thinggy...

some weird walking up the side of the squat rack, sort of step ups, but using each leg seperately, on the side bars, each side, up, then down plus some stretches, and exercises on the exercise ball.... and some dips, and some more dips, and some extra squats and upper body/arm weights at the end...

Just got home a little while ago..... and ordered up another two pairs of the tights - much to my disgust, they really are rather good, - mind, I doubt I'd ever buy them at full price

Must jump in the shower next, then sort out something for lunch.... we've some leftover cooked up new potatos, in the fridge, and the last portion of the piri piri chicken pieces from the halal butchers - so I assume we'll throw some salad with that... hmm... basically the same as we had yesterday for lunch

Last night was chicken biriani for dinner which I cooked - no idea yet what I'll do tonight.... maybe something with sausages or think about making a big pot of something using the bag of minced beef, we found/discovered in the freezer, just before the last re-stock of frozen food stuffs... - don't think its been lurking there too long, but probably best to use it up sooner rather than later

Mind, its a bit hot ATM, to cook anything too long in the cooking stage


Off tomorrow, early, to hospital, for the bone density scan - finally get to see what a year and a half GH replacement, plus the exercise I've been doing, makes I'm really really hoping the bone density has improved, enough for me to deny treatment with the bisphosphonates - TBH, any improvement from what it was, I think I'l refuse treatment.... as several factors ought to be making it continue improving; lower dose prednisolone, more complete replacement now with GH, testosterone, thyroid etc, plus doing the exercise, and cal/vit D3/Vit K2/Magnesium supplementation... - In theory, if the bone density has remained the same, we'll see the scan measure a lower density; as losing weight can affect the results, that* direction; I've lost 1/4 of my body weight, since the previous scan; so, if it barely drops, or remains the same, I'd interpret that as an improvement

not sure if we'll do much for the rest of the day, its really rather hot.... maybe a short trip out to the pub tonight although we do need to be up early

right... really must go shower
