darkfoxx Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 LOOK AT THAT, I’M EARLY AND IT DIDN’T EVEN TAKE SIDE EYE Again with the lack of bells, whistles, themes or gifs. Or even 3 goals. This cycle, I’m bending to peer pressure and checking out that damn hyperbole cult workout DH has been loving: Soflete. And I’ll be modifying as desired, because fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck working out for an hour and a half. And cardio after weightlifting. That can all suck it. Also modifying movements as necessary, with an eye on remaining as injury-free as when I’ve got my trainer - or as near to that as I can, at least; it’s me, after all. This first cycle has 48 days of workouts; I’ll be doing 4-5 a week instead of 6, so I may take 60. I should get up and take ‘before’ pics, but I’m pooped and lazy, so I’ll take them tomorrow - weighed myself and took my measurements; may or may not post - we shall see how the day shakes out.* Also, I’m aiming to take daily food collage pics, since that really worked well for me while in the US. Ate like garbagio when I got back, but kept my shit together while gone at least. *I love how i pre-shame myself for being lazy and/or vain and invariably talk myself into posting in like 2 paragraphs. [emoji38][emoji38] Starting weight metrics according to my robot scale: This is up 5lbs from before vacation. Maybe I’ll check in with these every Monday? Starting measurements according to doing them myself vaguely haphazardly on my way to the gym in hopes that there’s a definite ‘before’: 82cm underbust 76cm waist107cm hips50cm right thigh51.5cm left thigh29cm left bicep29cm right bicep Before pics maybe tomorrow - I have a Pupper on my lap now.

darkfoxx Posted January 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 SaturdayYet another play date - this time a wiener walk in the park.Breakfast burrito with zaatar chips from my favorite healthy takeaway.Nap with Pupper.Sunset SUP in the marina out back:Delivery dinner from my favorite quickie kebab place - marinated chicken, chicken kofta & half the bread it came with.Suuuuuuuuuuuper could have done with veggies for the day.Did I mention yesterday my stomach has been jacked lately? I think roasted broccoli may be the culprit behind the jack-Ed-ness (tons of gas and bloating, which of course in turn makes me much more apt to be nauseous). Even though broccoli is like my (second) favorite vegetable, I think I’ll be giving it a rest - I hadn’t had it in months before this last bulk batch I roasted up, and I don’t remember being this uncomfortable for the last few months either. Other shit has happened to make me nauseous to be sure, but less stabby from gas buildup in the guts.This puts me at 2 planned workouts, 2 active days, and 3 days spent on broadening my social horizons - 4, actually - we had a new person at coffee on Tuesday.
