The Great Reading Thread of 2023

“I've always believed that failure is non-existent. What is failure? You go to the end of the season, then you lose the Super Bowl. Is that failing? To most people, maybe. But when you're picking apart why you failed, and now you're learning from that, then is that really failing? I don't think so." - Kobe Bryant, 1978-2020. Rest in peace, great warrior.

Hahaha - I work in education, so the trick is to find those gifs that are only NSFW for those of us with just the right sense of humor, but that will never get me in trouble...

like...well...this...

I'm sorry you had such a rough six months.  You're a much tougher human being than me.

 

Here's to resetting. 

Thank you for the kind words.  I appreciate everyone's support and kindness. 

But Nope.  Not tougher than anyone.  We all have our graces. 

But yes....here's to resetting.

Weighed myself. 

It was every bit as bad as I thought it would be.

 

But now I can get busy fixing it instead of agonizing over how bad it's going to be...

Day 1: Success

I lifted today.  I'm not even spoilering  it. 

 

In pounds, @Sam Ashen

In.  Pounds. 

 

 

Normal warm up stuff

jump rope, shoulder dislocates, hip openers, toe things

 

squats

5 x 5 at 45

 

Bench

5 x 5 at 45

 

BB Row

5 x 5 at 45

 

Heavy Bag punches, mixed punches (mostly jabs, some uppercuts, a few roundhouses for good measure - basically whatever I felt like doing - no real combinations or anything)

3 x 20 seconds

 

Stretches

i forget - prolly the usual cat camel, deep hip, dog humpers, etc

 

Daily positivity:  Instead of feeling like I went backwards, lifting today felt like a new beginning.  I probably could have started at heavier weights, but this felt right. 

 

Day 1 food tracking:  On point - I may post my total tomorrow, I'm not sure if I am going to do that this challenge or not....but I am not finished eating today, so...........

 

SO....starting out well!
