RES Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 So giving myself structure and very little leeway seemed to do the trick! Instead of just body weight I'm using a plan I found that utilizes weights, body-weight and my cable machine. I'm on week three and it's going well, it's a total of 15 weeks broken up into 5 weeks of progressively increasing difficulty. The Plan.... Conscientious: Make 24 hour plan, eat on plan when hungry, stop when full. Unconventional: With time being at a premium any extra stuff I get to do will be here Time: Get 7 hours of sleep a night, post at least 3 times a week in my thread. Exercise: Weights 3x week, 6,000 steps a day, 3 days treadmill workout (when no work event) With the season officially canceled now we're working about 6 days a week, except for when we work 7. A lot of times we don't know this too much in advance so being flexible is important right now, but I still need to remember to take care of myself, and this includes making smart choices about eating and exercise. When I struggle I need to remember how much better I feel when I do these things, if that doesn't work I need to remember how I want to look on my cruse later this year 😄 I am looking for a new job, the events last challenge were the 4th and biggest reason I've decided to do this. I also need more time for important things in my life...such as rides with D to places like this And going to see this beautiful one once this Covid nonsense is over! 12 1 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Holiday Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 80 |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84|85|86| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!

RES Posted August 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Well thanks to a tropical storm heading towards FL (we'll likely only get rain from it, no real worries there) they rescheduled today's event, so I did get a day off this weekend! Which is good because I'm sore and tired as hell after yesterday. Got up yesterday and fueled up, rode out to the beach to meet up with the rest of the group (only us and our group leader showed up) rode over to where the ride was supposed to start, mass confusion on what time KSU were supposed to be, 3 different times had been posted on the event. So we're listening to the direction from the cops that were going to be escorting the event and afterwards the event leader (not our groups) took the mic and said that since numbers were low due to Covid she was going to allow men to ride. I have nothing against men ridding but that is NOT the purpose of an all female ride. Ween (our groups leader) said she wasn't going to do it if that was the case, D and I agreed with her so we decided since we were fueled up and ready to ride anyway we headed south to St. Augustine and back along A1A...beautiful ride right along the beach...made it back in time for me to go pick up my grocery order and get to work for the movie/fireworks night. D and I before the 'announcement' The Plan.... Conscientious: Make 24 hour plan, eat on plan when hungry, stop when full. 7/7 Unconventional: With time being at a premium any extra stuff I get to do will be here Rode yesterday Time: Get 7 hours of sleep a night, post at least 3 times a week in my thread. 7/7 on sleep, 3/3 posting Exercise: Weights 3x week, 6,000 steps a day, 3 days treadmill workout (when no work event) 3/3 weights, 1/7 steps, 2/3 treadmill I'm off work and have an interview Wednesday for a position that sounds like it could be exactly what I'm looking for let's hope it turns out to be! 8 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Holiday Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 80 |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84|85|86| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!
