Great post, I've told my wife I have to train otherwise I will be moody lol
You are right though it does drop. There's things you can do though, making a cup of tea? press ups while the kettle is boiling....
Take the stairs not the lift
Swap out snacks for better options
Struggle to get greens in blend them - not the best way to get them in but its better than what's happening.
After every pee 5 squats

Interesting thread. I'll be brutally honest with you then...
My diet is rubbish, my exercise level is rubbish and I "don't have time" to change it...
Some of thats true unfortunately.
I work 40-45 hours a week, in shift patterns, so some mornings, some late evenings etc. So I rarely eat a proper meal. The kids get better food than I do! Breakfast almost never happens.
I used to play football twice a week but injuries lead to the wife banning it. I play golf, but I question how good a long walk really is for you. I absolutely love competing though, just haven't found anything to do since lockdown. I'm a decent darts player but again, fitness?! Hardly! I also have been a runner, I did the London marathon in 2012 but these days struggle for motivation.
Unfortunately I'm currently one of those annoying people that would love to be fit and more muscular but put in no effort. You can hate, its ok...
I dream of one day being a pro trader, taking the kids to school and having all day every day to do these things but we're a few years off that... what to do in the meantime, I'm all ears!

Right a preachy morning here
This is the time of year when most people start to drop off the consistency in their fitness/sports.
Obviously some sports are not played at this time of year but this is all the more reason to keep up with your fitness training. After all you keep fit to play a sport, not play a sport to keep fit.
Gym attendance normally goes way down this time of year so if that is you thing make sure you keep going and keep it up.
Outdoor pursuits are dropped due to the change in weather and lighting at this time of year. But there is always something you can do in that time slot instead. Don't give up the time you spent walking/jogging etc to the TV, do something else active if you cant do your chosen activity.Not only does this help keep us in good shape, before the inevitable xmas blowout, but this time of year SAD is a thing and keeping up with physical activity has been proven to help loads with this sort of situation.

@matt-wood you mean the chicken brown rice and broccoli? I’ve heard when you cook all 3 together at the right temperature it’s got special powers.

Anyone interested in health and diets might like the Youtuber:
Kinda science heavy at times. But also does some really interesting podcast style interviews with people in various fields of expertise.
Has not been posted yet but fans of mma might like it, he has just done a podcast with Rich Franklin. I will be watching this as soon as its uploaded. Im a big fan of Mr Franklin and think he was in UFC at the time it changed from styles to true mixxed martial arts. People like Rich were the ones who truly led the way (with maybe and argument to be made for Frank Shamrock) in cross training styles.
