Go, Nuala! And good on you for righting a wrong when the opportunity presented itself!

RUH ROH! Seconded! Let us know if we can help somehow!

Captain Picard approves of this message.

"The journey is more important than the destination - so enjoy the walk Survival Parkour." There. Fixed it.

Alcohol is a common theme at all of my family functions. Hopefully, the same is not true for you! Good luck with your guests!

P.S. I love Megz.

Do you track your weight on a daily or weekly or... basis?

And the West! At least once a week I regret not paying more attention in Spanish class!

This is a rad idea!

HA HA HA HA HA HA! This made me LOL... Gotta say that I agree. If you're not training for a specific event then there's no real reason to stick with one program other than that it gives you a really clear cut way to track progress. If you can let go of needing to define progress, then do whatever the heck you want, when you want, just make sure you keep challenging yourself. Gains will come naturally and will be self-regulating.

HOLDS AND PLANKS AND GET-UPS AND SWINGS AND PRESSES - OH MY! Set-up stolen shamelessly from Elastigirl's thread. Someone posted Dan John's 10,000 swings challenge and it looked fun... in a torturous sort of way. Goal is to do the circuit five times for a total of 500 swings daily, but I'm playing super safe with the back. Fatigue started to set in after round three and I didn't want to push it with less than stellar form so I called it. Will probably do the reduced version for a week or so and then up to the full version when I'm confident I can go the distance safely. Molding Mobility Hollow + Arch + Side Plank + Side Plank + Reverse Plank + Front Plank: 60 sec. each KB Get-up: 5 sets x 1 rep left/right KB Swing + Overhead Press Circuit: 3 rounds KB Swing:10 reps Overhead Press: 1 rep KB Swing: 15 reps Overhead Press: 2 reps KB Swing: 25 reps Overhead Press: 3 reps KB Swing: 50 reps ​

Back feels the same post-shot. I'm supposed to give it a couple weeks before making a judgement, though, so I'm staying positive!

Great work. Sounds like you've got some great momentum carrying you into week 2!

What a beautiful spot! Great find!

Nice transition. Kinda cool to know that it correlates with your experience. I'd love to get one but am still debating whether or not it's worth the price tag.

Cool resource! I know a bunch of baby sign language... but that's about it.

I like this idea. Personally, I find training a form of physical mediation and when I have that outlet my overall mental state is much better. It seems natural to split up meditation into two categories: maintenance and response. Maintenance would be things you do regularly and purposefully to maintain a good mental state, and response would be things you do to bring down anxiety. Yup, I like it.

Amazing week! Great work. Can I borrow some of your follow-through this week? And yes... 0.6 lb. is down, and down is down!

Oh, yes; much tracking has been done. You know how I love my spreadsheets! Unfortunately, whatever causes them appears to be a bunch of different factors together. I try and avoid the big obvious bad things (stress, lack of sleep, etc.) and hope for the best with the rest! Thankfully, however, this was my first migraine in quite awhile and I don't expect that to change. I'd much rather have one every six months or so than constantly!

WEEK 1 RECAP Started strong, tripped up a bit, am back on track. GOAL 1: TRAINING 300 swings per day - Incomplete Got one day in before the cortisone shot. Giving myself a bye week on this week due to doc's orders, but will be grading harshly from here on out. Train 3x per week - 67% D Only trained twice. Had both Saturday and Sunday to get in my last session of the week and I chose to do other things instead. Pretty bummed about this one. It would have been so easy to rack up an A here. I vow to be better this week!GOAL 2: FLEXIBILITY/MOBILITY/REHAB PT/Rehab - 67% D Focused Flexibility - 67% D Couldn't stretch on Wednesday due to the migraine so I'm giving myself a bye on that one, but just didn't want to on Saturday and Sunday so I didn't.GOAL 3: NUTRITION Track food, stay under 2,500 - PASS Average calories per day was 2,171. Went a little overboard on Saturday and Sunday (are we sensing a theme yet?) and would like to clean that up this week. No solo booze - 71% C Damn you Saturday and Sunday. BONUS GOAL Weight is down by 1.8 lb. Moving in the right direction!!

Thanks, dude. Feeling better now... gotta work on not being so thrown off my game when things don't go 100% according to plan. Love Wolvenomerine! Thanks. Unfortunately, it is a mystery. Most likely a combination of things, but 20 or so years and we still haven't figured it out! I am. Thanks!

You got this, Wolf!

Tomorrow, I am dedicating my last stair climb to you. May I show such bravery, strength, and determination!

Nice work on the HSPUs and pistols!!! The carving made my day. Can't wait to see what you're gonna do next!
