what do you do after work?

[fLum0x]

I am just curious what the majority of people do after they leave work and go home. I know you eat dinner and go to sleep...but what else occurs? This question arose because some co-workers were saying they watch TV all night after work. I don't know how you can do that.

I usually watch TV/Movie for about an hour after/during dinner and then game for a couple hours or maybe read. Once or twice a week (during the week) i go out with friends. This fluctuates with football season starting.

I'm training for a marathon so... Miles and miles of jogging along with basketball on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Monday - Gym then come home and watch TV, then play some xbox360 or watch a movie
Tuesday or Wednesday - I go to the gym on one of these days, never both, take the other off. After that I'll usually play games or mess around till rescue me comes on.
Thursday - Gym then chill or see whats going on with friends.
Friday - chill for a while and usually grab a drink or 2 then find out whats going on for the weekend.

Hit the gym after work.

 

[hjo3]

Play D&D on Mondays, GURPS on Wednesdays. Usually go out to a movie one of the other nights. And at home, I cook about every other night.

 

[amish]

play with dogs for 20min
try to get in a quick & intense 30 min workout
shotgun a beer
study for a professional exam

 

[ailetlvo]

Ehh, smoke a cig, play fight night, shower, eat, nothing fancy.

It's tough being broke.

We will make dinner/get take out... watch seinfeld, do some laundry.. husband will work on the kitchen rennovations or cut the grass.
We are pretty boring but its ok. later on in the evening, we will watch tv together or one of us will be on the web.

 

[loup garou]

Sit on the couch/play with cats/watch TV for an hour.
Drink a beer.
Cook dinner.
Eat dinner.
Watch TV/read/movie/game/whatever.
Sex.
Read.
Sleep.

I work out in the morning, I HATE working out after work, I have no motivation and it eats up too much time.

Of course, the schedule varies, sometimes we'll go out to dinner or a movie. We usually go to happy hour on Fridays. Most of the Mondays this summer we picniced and watched the film festival movie in Bryant Park.

When I get home from work, I immedietly check the mail. Then I get on my computer and check my usual websites, email, finances. Then I change and I go to the gym. When I come home from the gym, I shower, eat, take my supplements, and spend the rest of the night with my girlfriend. We usually eat (I eat alot), or watch tv. Weekends are totally different though.

As of yesterday though, I have to fit in at least an hour for Madden 07 now

 

[CalvinHobbes]

Depends on the day of the week.

I usually turn on my PC as soon as I get home.
4 or 5 times a week I exercise in our exercise room.
Just started playing guitar so I do that a lot.
We normally eat at home but go out once a week, sometimes more.
After dinner I usually go back to the PC, my wife watches stuff on Tivo
Sometimes we watch shows on the DVR in HD, sometimes we watch the Tivo

i think it is different with owning a house and doing rennovations. It gives you something to do and it saves money. In the end, you are proud of the work and it makes you feel much better around the house IMO. My girlie is an interior designer and she always wants to move things around and paint and such

anyways, good for you guys, sounds like most couples i know

 

[BKLounger]

Well currently i am in the process of moving so for the past couple weeks monday through friday all i do after work is pack. Hopefully after i move i will be able to just be able to make dinner, read for a while and then watch a movie. mmmmmm I can't wait till moving is over.

:thumbsup: for the seinfeld. That, the news, and sports are about the only things I watch on tv.

I am surprised all of you guys work out after work. I work out during lunch, although i do work out at night occasionally. I find i work out longer if i do it after work.

You're probably referring to cardio workout. I was talking about weightlifting. Im usually not in the gym for more than an hour.

 

[supastar1568]

for me, i usually eat, go to the gym, shower and then play video games for about an hour.

Typically, wednesdays, i take off from the gym, and meet up with my friends at a local bar. I like the wednesday off from the gym as its something to look foward too and splits up the week nicely. Of course, weekends are different but usually i go to the gym on those two days as well (or at least do a good amount of cardio).

how is it? i have thought about getting it for my ps2 (yes i know i am behind)...but i am a big NCAA fan usually. Does it still have the fantasy draft option and such?

 

[Reckoner]

Plot around my 6 Fantasy Football teams, drink beer, play xbox 360, drink beer, read a book, drink beer, take a sh!t, drink beer, eat dinner, drink beer, listen to music, and......



wait for it.....















wait for it..................















Drink beer.

 

[ArchCenturion]

I get home, find food, call up some friends, go to the beach. When I get home from the beach, I am very tired and hungry. I eat for a while then go to bed.

Havent played much of it yet. I did play a few friends last night and I got my butt kicked. I like it so far. I found it easier to pass, and harder to run.

yea, i am trying to cut weight. i just work to keep muscles tone at this point in time. The goal is to do cardio until i drop some weight and then work the muscles some and just maintain weight from there. Lately i have been trying to do like 1 mile on the treadmill and 3 miles on the eliptical. So far so good! It is around 750 calories.

 

[BurnItDwn]

depends on the night.
Some days I log into WoW and play from the time I have dinner until it's time to sleep.
Some days I just go hang out with my neighbors and we drink beer on the front lawn.
Some days I go out with friends.
Some days I watch a movie.

 

[Stuxnet]

I avoid watching TV. For the first 4 or 5 years living on my own (w/my wife), it's all we did. A few years ago I started going mega stir crazy, and now I hardly watch any TV at all. I'm pretty active now and will do at least one physical activity each night, whether it be running, cycling, playing tennis, or working in the yard. Last night I ran and played tennis... tonight I'll probably just ride my bike. As soon as our basement is finished, I'll be throwing weightlifting into the mix.

After the kids go to bed, I might watch Colbert or Southpark or something, but then I usually fire up a video game (racing or sports) and snack on grapes until it's time to go to bed.

My wife, on the other hand, is still set in our old ways...

 

[IceBergSLiM]

usually a combination of 5 or more of the following occur night to night:

bike ride
weight lift
tennis

gardening
cooking
reading
cleaning
laundry
go out for drinks with friends or girls
entertain a young lady in my bed room
drink a bottle of wine
surf the web
