Stone Fox Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Well hey there party fitness people. I'm Stone Fox, I'm a medical student in the Navy HPSP. Eventually (as in a coupe years from now) I want to become a dive medical officer, which involves a set fitness standard that I currently do not meetI've been plugging along with Rising Heroes for about a year now and I thought I'd mosey on over here and give this format a try. So here are my 4 week challenge goals: Main Goal: Pass the DMO fitness standards SMARRT Goals: 1) Practice chin ups using the ladder method style sets 4 days this week. 2) Track diet everyday 3) Replace my afternoon coffee with water three times a week Quote Link to post

Unless with coffee you mean some sugar laden big bowl of semi-brown hot liquid I've been head aches in the afternoon and not sleeping well so I've been trying to ween myself off the stuff for a while Quote Link to post
Mr_Willes Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Aaah makes sense, good goal. And so hooked on the caffeine that cold turkey is out of the question? 1 Quote ... a little odd in the head ... Link to post
Stone Fox Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Haha yeah. Its better than it used to be. There was a time when I was consistently doing 5 or more cups a day. It wasn't until I started cutting back that I realized how bad it was making me feel all the time. Quote Link to post

So when I work out I do 1-rest-2-rest-3-rest-2-rest-1 aaaaand its a struggle Quote Link to post
Stone Fox Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Alright so general accountability check in for myself with food for the day: Breakfast I stopped by the starbucks drive thru and got myself a macchiato and a spinach egg white wrap Lunch Mixed green salad with cucumbers, tofu, onions, carrots, croutons, and balsamic dressing Dinner Thai chicken lettuce wraps with a peanut sauce (that I actually made myself) Quote Link to post
Stone Fox Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Day 2 Meal Report Breakfast Black tea and a lara bar Lunch chicken sandwich and french onion soup from panera Dinner homemade kale and fruit smoothie So I will say already two days in and I have been pretty heavy on the eating out/processed foods more so than normal. A big part of the problem is coming back from break I didn't have a lot of food in the kitchen to work with and I have a huge exam coming up so I haven't had time to shop or cook. Plan for the weekend is to look in to some easy grab and go breakfast options I can make myself. Quote Link to post
Stone Fox Posted January 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Weekly summary: Rose: I passed my exam and I got an awesome new tattoo!!! Thorn: Eating out or skimping on breakfast. I did make a bunch of smoothies and freeze them today as well as some breakfast muffins. Bud: Pull ups suck, but hopefully I'm getting a little stronger. Quote Link to post
Mr_Willes Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Sweet tat!!! On 14-1-2018 at 11:48 PM, Stone Fox said: Bud: Pull ups suck, but hopefully I'm getting a little stronger. No doubt, keep on them, and keep record of how you are doing, total, sets, in a row, rest time everything... Quote ... a little odd in the head ... Link to post

So when I work out I do 1-rest-2-rest-3-rest-2-rest-1 aaaaand its a struggle I too was wondering... I hope one day once I can actually do pull-ups that I can do the ladder method. It sounds both brutal and awesome at the same time.
