A Pirates Life for Me

[Stone Fox]

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

Curious why this is a goal... 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

Aaah makes sense, good goal. And so hooked on the caffeine that cold turkey is out of the question?

[Stone Fox]

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.

What's the ladder method? 

 

- asks someone who has never been able to do a chin up in her life?

Good luck with your goals. Seems attainable.

So right now I can do about 3 max. So when I work out I do 1-rest-2-rest-3-rest-2-rest-1 aaaaand its a struggle

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)

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.

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. 

[Mr_Willes]

Sweet tat!!!

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.

 

Also awesome tat
