No pain, no gain... or so I hear.
Ah yeah but when the pain is caused from a lady weighing quite a lot more than you falling into you when she slips while sparring, there's very little to gain. :pac: Painkillers are working though and tbh the pain is worth it for all the muscle definition I've noticed lately.

Oh man, I love alcohol for pain relief. Buuuuut, I quit alcohol and caffeine for a month to see if that improves my fitness levels. Christmas Eve, I'm going to go absolutely nuts, though. :pac: And yeah, pretty bizarre injury. Why they set me up to spar with someone who's 5'10 and about 18 stone when I'm 5'1 and around 11 stone, I'll never know. :pac:
No need to cut out caffeine to get in better shape - caffeine raises your temperature causing you to burn more fat during a work out! once your not taking it close to bed time to affect your sleep you should still take a moderate amount a day

Ah yeah but it also dehydrates you, and since I'm gonna be sweating like a pig in my classes, I don't want to dehydrate myself any further. :pac: Didn't know it was good for burning fat, though. I may have to start drinking real coffee again 0 -

I've never noticed any extra dehydration from it! I'm generally gaspin when I'm training regardless lol

Regarding caffeine and working out, I find coffee in the morning before I go training really good to help me along (as well as an energy drink or two)
:pac: I would have done that, but I'm a novice, my reflexes aren't that good! If I'd stayed on the mat, I would have been fine, but I tried to move back when I realised what was happening so when she fell on me, I landed on tiled concrete floor.
I do have a coffee in the mornings, but I stick to de-caf the rest of the day. I don't drink energy drinks anymore because I was drinking waaaay too many (8+ per day), but you lot have convinced me that I can go back to getting my coffee fix throughout the day, yay! 0 -

Eeewww, concrete floor!? Nasty. No ring for sparring? Do ye at least have head gear/gum-shields etc.? Jeez, every single time we're sparring, it's in the ring, with full headgear and gumshield and proper wraps under the gloves.I do have a coffee in the mornings, but I stick to de-caf the rest of the day.

Yeah, I'm kinda partial to Monster myself.
Convinced you?? Pffft, didn't take much did it?? LOL0 -

No ring, because we change around what sport we do every now and then, just to work different parts of the body. Headgear and gumshields were worn, thankfully, but I did my stupid hip in. I think I just aggravated an injury in my hip and back that had just recently fully healed. :pac:
I adore Monster, I love the orange one. And nope, no real convincing necessary! :pac: 0 -

I've given up drinking for a few weeks too as I've a dress to fit into for a wedding. This concept seems to be really putting my friends out though, like I've lost an arm!
I'm supposed to be off drinking for a month, but I was drunk texting people a week ago. :pac:
If you want to lose the calories from alcohol, but still drink, just drink vodka and a diet mixer, only 47 calories. 0 -

I've had a cough for nearly a month now, it's really annoying the crap outta me cos I can't push as hard as I would like without feeling like a lung is going to collapse. I do hope to stay off until next weekend anyway - that'll be 5 weeks without a drink. Drinkin' session on the 8th, session on the 14th and 15th, and I'll see how well I can avoid it around those.I'm supposed to be off drinking for a month, but I was drunk texting people a week ago. :pac:

That's what I usually do but, tbh, the problem isn't the drinking itself. It's the Burger King I savage when I'm pissed, it's all the smoking I do when I'm pissed, it's the hangover chipper I need the next day, it's the fact that I can't do that long run I planned cos I'm hangin'...
It's also really annoying that places that do drinks deals don't cater for diet mixers - all drinks €3, unless you want diet coke, then that'll be €7+! I've also saved a few quid cos I haven't really been out. I'll get xmas out of the way then see how long I last in the new year without it.0 -

Ah, I get ya. I'm on a strict diet atm so there's no junk food in my house and I don't really like chipper food thankfully. I also don't get hangovers. :pac:
Yeah, I hate places that don't cater for mixers. When I'm in those places, I get blackcurrant with my vodka, it only adds about three calories to the total.
So guys. My interview went GREAT. She decided she doesn't want me as a sales assistant in the shop I applied for, and instead interviewed me for a keyholder position (basically assistant manager work), higher wage, different shop, easier job. I decided not to hide my tattoo and she COMPLIMENTED it (the ones on my legs were obviously hidden!). No uniform in the shop she wants me in, tattoos and crazy hair totally acceptable, just no facial piercings (but I don't even have my ears pierced anyway :pac: ).
She's going to get back to me tomorrow after she checks my references, but as long as they're good, I start on Tuesday for training. Only issue is, I'm currently suing my last job, so that could be difficult for a reference, but I gave a manager's name who I'm still friends with and still see for drinks occasionally.
Fingers crossed! 0 -
Sounds good Lynda!!!
With this:
I'd say be straight up and tell them that there's an issue with that place where you've ended up having to take legal action that is currently ongoing, I'm sure they'll understand why you may struggle to give a reference there!Only issue is, I'm currently suing my last job, so that could be difficult for a reference, but I gave a manager's name who I'm still friends with and still see for drinks occasionally.0 -

Well, suing a company makes you pretty much unemployable because most prospective employers see you as a trouble maker. However, she said she'll be ringing me regardless, even if my reference is bad, just to let me know, so I'll explain myself then if they do give me a rubbish reference. I don't think they can though because I'm on their books as their highest selling staff member. :pac:
Marty McFly also texted me the same advice as you, to just tell them out straight what happened (he knows the full story), so I guess if I do get a bad reference, I'll do that. She said I seem responsible and trustworthy, so if it comes down to it, I'd imagine she'll believe me since I can provide medical records to back up injuries from what happened and witnesses and such. 0 -

Jeez, could you really ask for anything more in fairness? Nice one, hope it works out for ya.0 -
