We NEVER Thought This Would Happen To Us!

hello guys and good evening we are starting this vlog in the evening which we don't usually do but we wanted to show you uh what we're having for dinner tonight we're having a little bit of a treat so this vlog will start tonight and then it will pick up tomorrow the other reason we are vlogging tonight is to hold me accountable for something that i want to do tomorrow and i feel like if i've said i'm going to do it on the vlog i'm way more likely to do it and that is wake up at 4 30 in the morning tomorrow morning to go to the gym at 5 00 a.m because at the moment i'm trying to avoid crowded busy places and the gym being the beginning of the year is incredibly busy my app tells me how many people are in the gym right now so for example it is 6 p.m right now there are currently 83 people in the gym i usually try and go when there's around 15. but if i go at 5am my theory is there'll be hardly anyone in there that's my theory i've also decided to have my last coffee of the day the double espresso way too late 6pm too late for me so after a full week of very healthy eating home-cooked meals we've ordered some papa john's pizza we used to get this years ago we haven't actually had it since let's open up let's see what it looks like we haven't actually had it since we back in england and it's a very different side of pizza to like the italian style it's much i'd say it's like an american style pizza would you agree with me this is a hawaiian nice thick crust ham and pineapple and they've got this famous garlic dip which george and i don't actually like that much so if anyone's watching and loves that dip you're probably to hate us for saying that underneath we've got a double pepperoni with stuffed crust so the the crust of the pizza is actually stuffed with cheese there you go look at that we're going to enjoy this there's a little bit of a friday night treat it tonight we've been good since the start of the year since the start of 2022 yeah all healthy food so we thought friday night pizza night yes 4 30 a.m [Music] okay 6am and i am done as you can see i'm a little bit more awake than i was at 4 30 but that was good i think i need a little bit longer between eating and working out should be around an hour i probably had half an hour or 40 minutes something like that but honestly once you are past that little wake-up stage you feel good there was no one in the gym like four or five people as opposed to over a hundred in the evenings it's now six a.m it's still dark outside and i've got a head start on my day so i'm gonna try and keep that up i wanna lift weights three times per week and then do a hit high-intensity interval training cardio session two or three times a week maybe two times a week so if i can keep this up then that is a good habit to get into i think because i can now start my day i can now be showered and ready ready for the day by like 6 30 a.m doesn't mean going to bed early but i don't mind that because it's getting dark so early at the moment oh i did it i did it for all those doubting me comment below did you doubt me in the start of this vlog or did you think i would do it lucy doubted me but we proved her wrong set the temperature to 20 degrees all right i set the temperature in the driver's area on 20 degrees celsius i must say i am slightly surprised that george made it to the gym this morning he said last night he's going getting up at half 4 or 4 20 or something and i was like okay that sounds good like good for you thinking he wouldn't actually do it but fair play he did it and maybe this is sort of a new thing i don't know if he mentioned uh the reason he got up so early to go obviously at the moment we're doing our best not to catch the c word because it may impact george being at the birth so we're basically trying to avoid contact with people and he went to the gym this morning there was four people in it and it's a huge gym um compared to if he went at like 6 p.m of an evening there might be 120 people in it so although it's a pain having to get up so early it means he still gets to go to the gym and he's he's still keeping very very safe so it's kind of the only way to do it really for him right now but him getting up at 4 30 men that i also got up at 4 30 because i've not been sleeping too well at the moment and i thought i'd go back to sleep but i didn't manage to unfortunately so i've been up since 4 30 as well and it's now 11 and i feel like i need to go to sleep but we're gonna try and stay awake and just kind of kick ourselves into like an earlier start routine i know that once baby is here with us we'll be up very early anyway i'm probably sleeping a little bit earlier naturally obviously we wake up in the night loads we know that but i think we'll be getting into bed earlier um if we can start that kind of routine now it's not a bad thing it's going to be then less of a shock less of a transition to make but yeah all good we've had two breakfasts already today we i had some porridge and george had some um protein oats this morning super early i had here he had his at 4 30. i have mine at six o'clock and then we just had like a second breakfast now i always had some eggs on toast i had some avocado and feta cheese on toast which was very nice it feels like we haven't seen our family in a little while because we're not going around their houses we're not sort of inviting people here we're trying to keep our distance as much as we can um in closed spaces obviously when we see our family when we saw our family over christmas we were doing like lateral flow tests all the time and everyone was sort of sending them in the group chat and saying i'm negative it's all good it's more important now because it's getting closer and closer it could be any day now so we sort of said we're gonna hibernate a little bit we're to isolate ourselves off slightly when it's nice weather george and i still do go out for walks but obviously just the two of us outdoors keeping distance it's annoying it's frustrating because it's like it's not like the normal lockdown where no one's allowed to go out everyone else is going out and seeing people and doing things we're kind of having to keep distance and it's a shame because we do miss our family but we might walk around george's parents house today because we haven't seen them in ages since christmas really since george's sister's birthday which is the 27th but we'll just sort of say hi to them from the car and just have a chat outside maybe for a little bit i think that's a plan i think that's that's what we're gonna do i do look kind of tired today this is the start of the tired era of my life maybe i won't be looking too fresh anymore um anyway i think we're gonna head out now it's raining unfortunately as always i think we're gonna head to a bakery and pick up some bits anyway for our weekend but let's go and find george let's go and see how his workout was he said it was a good one actually how was your workout then have you updated the vlog yet yeah mute oh did you yeah i was just saying let's go and see george and see how his workout went but you've already done it it was good you tired yeah same but feeling tired this is the first day of this if we can get we didn't get an early night last night so you're tired but if we can just shift the hours that are awake yeah and still get eight hours yeah we have to just shift the time but i love going to the gym early yeah made a huge difference no one in there the workout is good i just need to adjust a few small things with eating and sleep yeah and we're good and i don't mind getting up early with you provided i've had the correct amount of sleep as well true so yeah so yeah so yeah kind of thing we do around here now i'm watching someone choose a color for their new cards this is real behind the scenes i did not know you have a vlog camera that's what i'm doing most of the time watching nerdy car videos yuck two out of ten ten weather check two would you even give it a two there's nothing i like about whether to give it more than a zero it's daylight now it's it's that's that's what the two is the brightness this coffee though ten out of ten picked up a little coffee we then had the genius idea which turned out to not be too genius did it i don't know what you're talking about to stop at this bakery why is it not genius because it's raining we have to actually leave the car and get wet [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay we did get wet but the bread did not manage to keep the bread dry we do like this bakery and we do like this bread and as we are swinging in on my parents i thought we'd bring them a loaf of bread which is because this is like freshly baked bread today uh a sourdough loaf my nose has gone red from wearing a mask but we're home now it's so weird that we've been back in england for so many months now it's literally been we're into our fifth month um and when we first got back we were saying the other day that when we got off the um plane and it was really cold even though it wasn't cold weather it was like nearly summer still and then we were driving in a coach through london and not recognizing like the way shops looked and streets street road signs and restaurant names and car number plates and hearing british accents everywhere and we were both like whoa like this is crazy like it's been so long we were kind of freaking out and i think mike and nelly said in the video the other day they said it was like a reverse culture shock totally it's the same thing because it's like you're i guess the culture should help yeah and not just the weather in fact we're going to ban talking about the weather in the vlogs which would mean the end of the weather check like the weather checks okay let's put it to a vote vote now comment if you're if you want us to keep talking about the weather no i don't mind the weather check it's just that you also constantly ramble on about the weather right just vote in the comments below weather check do we keep it we scrap it anyway as i was saying it's like reverse culture shock because culture shock would be when we first went to thailand and we were like whoa asia this is crazy like we're not used to this but now we're having a culture shock coming back to where we live where we're from to our hometown like where we grew up that's weird that's crazy and it's not something i ever thought i'd experience but saying that i feel like we're quite used to it again now we're kind of i think if we went back to bgc suddenly we'd be like whoa it feels so different so it's funny how quickly you get used to sort of where you are your surroundings and daily life and whatever you get up to i'd love to know in the comments if any of you have experienced that if you've sort of worked away from your home country or if you've had a long traveling trip or if you've you decided to live somewhere different for a while whatever it is and then you've just suddenly gone back to your home country have you been like this was different this is unusual i know you've got a lot of ifws watching so maybe some of you guys that maybe aren't in the philippines for a while and then go back to the philippines do you feel the same do you feel like it's a different place or you have to adjust and get used to it again or does it just sort of sit naturally again straight away but i'm gonna make some lunch now i don't actually know what we've got today i don't know what's in the fridge but i'm very hungry but it's only one o'clock and i feel like it needs to be bedtime but i did figure out that in our normal time if we'd woken up when we normally do it would be like five o'clock right now and it's one so we're like four hours ahead into the day meaning that i'm probably gonna wanna start thinking about dinner soon not lunch so it's a very weird feeling but i feel a bit spaced out today to be honest but hopefully it's the start of a new regime a new routine a new early wake up yeah but lunch i'll show you once i've made lunch once i've figured out what we're gonna make yeah should be good we had pizza last night which was the first well you saw it in the vlog yeah at the start of this vlog we had pizza and we both feel terrible we've eaten healthily since the start of the new year then we thought oh let's treat ourselves have a pizza we both feel terrible today with like acid reflux bloating we're both i'm not even i wouldn't know if i was or not right now yeah we don't we don't feel awful we just we just you know yeah true because you're pregnant is that what you meant yeah lucy wouldn't know if she's bloated actually that's a really good can you still tell if you're bloated or if you've got like a stomach really interesting um yeah we just don't feel good uh after eating this pizza which just shows that bad food is bad i think if you eat bad food consistently you kind of get used to it because i pizza never used to make me feel like that so we are not having pizza today we're lucy's cooking another joe wicks i don't know if everyone around the world knows joe wicks he's become very famous on instagram and social media in the last couple of years especially in the uk he got known for his instagram he kind of started reels if you think about it he got known for his 15 minute lean in 15 he called it 15 minute meals and he would make a 10 15 second instagram video back in the day on how to make it and a load of people got on board and he's now very very successful and put in the work so what is today's recipe southern style quinoa coated chicken with wedges yes that sounds nice i have no idea how it's going to work out this almost feels like a sunday lunch like a like a meal you'd get in a pub or something like potato wedges so you have to start off with some raw chicken in a pan some ice cold chicken and you cook that look the heat's not even on he's let it defrost you just let that defrost for days yeah very no do not that's a joke that's not not cooking advice not health advice now this is going to be way better than pizza thank you very much lucy looks delicious we are going to watch the unforgivable on netflix which is a film our friend kim told us to try so we made a cry did it make her cry yeah i don't know if i'm ready to cry this afternoon but oh i nearly said about the weather can't say but there's not much we can do outdoors so it is a movie afternoon for us with some food so we'll check back with you after this and give you our full review [Music] [Music] all right a very random end or end part of this vlog because this is a few days later to what you have just watched we are picking up the vlog a couple of days later we have just been we've been trying to find things to do lately that um don't evolve that don't involve seeing too many people or being too close to too many people um so we just had a little drive into the countryside which was really nice and now we are heading home and we are going to end off this vlog here i have a feeling this vlog's been a little bit short
