[Mikey]

Guys, my latte tastes bleh af this morning. Should've gone back when I had the chance but too late now!

Where did you get it?

From Dunkin Donuts.. The one I go to usually has this woman who makes them good but today idk wtf she did.

eh guess ill go get some coffee... and id prob have more energy if I werent at work, but alas I am... Knowing I only have a month and a half of work makes actually working much harder than you'd think, adding being tired doesnt help... its this dam sun through the window, its zapping any energy I have

Window sun sucks. I moved to a new place and they haven't put the blinds in yet so I get blasted with it first thing in the morning. Makes me wake up way earlier than I need to.

It's also making me lack the mental energy to actually work, so I just spend the day shitting up this thread.

Yea man. The struggle is real today for some reason. Think I'm going to make getting back into the gym a priority. Laid off my lifting routine during April-June for LSAT prep and this week has been a lot of socializing and doing fuck all.

Gotta get back under that squat rack and stop being such a fattie magoo. That should get my motivation back where it needs to be.

Oh I love sun in the office! I would fall asleep at work if it were dark in the office haha. I was talking about home.

join the fitness thread in the lounge! I hope my energy is built up by the time I get home so my workout doesnt suffer, being exhausting and working out is rough

Same, sun in the office is great - I work in my building's lobby (they make interns double as receptionists - not a ton of traffic thru the building so its fine) but the room is ~50% windows which keeps office work from becoming depressing. I'm grateful for the architect's foresight in designing it so direct sunlight only hits during the sunrise, otherwise it would be like a greenhouse!

Maybs I'll check it out!

Yeah I simply cannot force myself to work out if I'm exhausted or just tired after work.

Think I will start hitting the gym/pool before work. It's the only way

I've definitely lurked it but only posted a couple times in there. My workout philosophy has been "keep it simple stupid" for a long time. Squats, Bench, OHP, Lat pull downs, Rows and Dips 3x a week. Basketball on off days (or jog for 30-45 if it's raining out).

Definitely not the sexiest/most-interesting workout routine but it gets solid results. Besides, at my age, I'm not going for Mr. Universe anymore. I just want to avoid losing a step on the court and not allow dadbod to take over.

Currently in finance and took the LSAT as a way to get mind off the fact that I might hate finance... Can't imagine doing biglaw for years

No joke, you've already trapped a lady meerkat. Lean into that dad bod. I mean like, a reasonably fit dad bod.

When is mom bod gonna be a trend tho. I'm all over that.

lmao
yeah I currently have a pretty simple routine too atm, more focused on strength (gaining more than the little I have) than getting ripped.
I used to workout b4 work but would get up wayy too early and once I stopped I was done lol couldnt go back, so now I workout right away when I get home, otherwise I dont work out

I'm taking a motorcycle trip from WI to KY and back this weekend. Should help me take my mind off of this. Though it hasn't been so bad, lots of things to do in summer.

What kind of motorcycle do you have? I love motorcycles but I'm too much of a bitch to learn how to ride them haha

It's an old BMW K75S sport touring bike:

Clicky

My RC-51 is in the background, but I sold that a few weeks ago to a guy in England. He bought it on eBay and shipped it over.

This is my last ride for the K75S though, trading it next weekend on this bike, a BMW R1200CLC:

New Bike

Should be a fun two weeks for me, not a bad way to wait.

What law do y'all want to do?

Currently in finance and took the LSAT as a way to get mind off the fact that I might hate finance... Can't imagine doing biglaw for years

Health law, finishing up Biology undergrad next semester - I work in an office that deals with IP now and I don't know if I'd want to go that direction, but working for a firm that represents hospitals/practices sounds appealing. Could look at health policy too... I have a decent amount of time to decide where I want to go with it yet still.

eh K75S looks so much better imo lol I would love a bike but also not too thrilled about trying it. something about going fast on 2 wheels with nothing around me just gets to me lol

I had a dream about gray day and that for some reason I wasn't allowed to post about it on TLS. Very upsetting. I think I should probably have a white russian and skip the coffee.

Leaning towards IP right now, but I'm not dead set on it. Might explore the options a bit during LS.

I work at IP firm too - large, boutique, NYC.
IP is boring as fuck.

Yup, Lady Meerkat is happy, so now it's all about being able to keep playing basketball at a reasonable level, scuba/snorkeling without looking like a manatee, and going hiking/camping without gassing on significant inclines. Reasonably fit dadbod goes hard...besides old man strength is also a thing. I've had it work to my advantage a time or two.

BTW, reasonably fit Mombod IS a thing (even though the magazines won't ever admit it).

Dude, early morning is the best way. Gets you up for the day and you feel great the rest of the time. It's always harder to make a PM sesh with regularity because shit always comes up (you're tired, you have to work late, the frau needs you to pick up some wine on the way home, traffic's a bitch).

And strength routines are TCR man. These hypertrophy aesthetics routines that are en vogue right now can really fuck you up if you aren't properly coached/taught (which most of us aren't).
