        I recently dropped some weight pretty much through diet alone and I'm about where I'd like to be but want to do some body recompositioning. My wife is gluten intolerant and I eat minimal amounts of the stuff while she tries to avoid it entirely.

        I got a new bike ago and I'm enjoying solid distance rides a few times a week but I'm starting up DDPYoga again. Wife's been doing it regularly for the past month or so and is seeing amazing results. Did it with her last night and got my ass kicked! Definitely want to invest in some better mats, though. Gonna go for ~20 mile bike ride in a few.

          Note to self, dropping a 16kg bell during Skogg ladders was not one of the wiser things I have done.

            ^Your quote is quite apt at the moment (hope you've not damaged anything person or property!)

              Anyone have any experience with NHS (or any other national HCPs) and IBS/gastro issues?

              I went twice last year and they just did bloods to work out I'm not celiac? However, I've had a rough couple of weeks so have just rang to book an appointment. Clearly, I'm really nervous of the usual stuff (ulcers, various cancers, colitis) - is there any tests I can 'demand' or any reasons to give to refer me to some sort of gastro specialist? Just looking for thougths/opinions, in my experience and reading the NHS aren't very good at coping with gastro complaints.

              Help 😞

                the gold standard to detect cancer and ulcer disease in the esophagus, stomach, and colon would be an upper and lower endoscopy, biopsies can be performed at the same time, small bowel not so simple but probably a ct enterography or a pill cam study. these are all expensive tests

                  Thanks Jaco - on the NHS they'll be free, however, I'm not sure whether 'demanding' treatment is the correct course of action!

                    it is not. the system fails if that is the plan.

                    find a good doctor that you can trust, be honest, follow through, that's the best you can do

                      So after a short discussion I have to provide 'samples' and more bloods.  😞

                                Haven't made it to the gym in two weeks on account of work. Feel like shit!  Deadline comes and goes today, can't wait to get back in there.

                                  I dropped a 60lb bell onto hardwood once…

                                  I dropped a 20 in our bedroom the other day.  Luckily, Julie hasn't noticed the black tinged divot in the carpet yet…

                                  That 60 must have done some serious damage to the floor.

                                      Surprised the 60 didn't go right through.

                                      Hitting DDP yoga pretty hard a few times a week, gym the rest of the time and cycling 12 miles on yoga days.

                                          ah yeah head's up Finn, once you stop eating bread your stomach gets used to it and totally fcks itself if you magically start eating it again. Same deal on milk (different process, same fck out). I eat bread once in a blue moon and boy do I pay for it :|.

                                            Turns out the body doesn't like poison when it's not used to it 😉

                                            Though I never had problems with dairy even after periods where I stopped it.
