Lemynaded Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Day 01 Hello! Felt like starting a journal and update the day counter up above whenever I finished a workout session for the day. The objective is to get to 90 days somehow. Felt like it was a good way to stay accountable with this whole challenge (is this even the right word? Bah, I don't know). Also, secondary objectives (update 8/4/2022) - Make coffee in the morning - Have a small warm up routine when I am done drinking my coffee Anyway, day 1, finished the P90X3 accelerator today. Wasn't able to remain active for all of the exercises though, after the 11 minute mark I just got like UuuuuUUUrrrrrg. Still manage to stick until the end. Now I... uh... am in pain, but I guess it's tolerable. That is pretty much it. Bye bye now Quote Link to comment
Lemynaded Posted July 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Day 02 Today's workout was P90X3 I have come to the realization that my arms had more or less the solidity of wet noodles. I hope I eventually become stronger. I am tired... good night now Quote Link to comment
Lemynaded Posted July 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Oh yeah, wont be able to update this post for the next 3 following days. Going camping Quote Link to comment
Lemynaded Posted August 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 Day 1 Came back from camping, didn't workout so I consider this a reset. Did the accelerator again at around 5pm. I am currently dead I think, and very tired. BUT The camping trip uuUUuUuUUUuUrrrrrrrrrrrrrrMHHHHHHHHHHH Loved every second of it (yes that's what this thing up above mean) Toodles Quote Link to comment

Way to get back at the workouts as soon as you returned! Hey thanks! Honestly I am happy that I took the time to do this, it's just so darn difficult to get myself to do it sometimes. ___ Did the warrior workout routine today, like usual, pretty tired, but my armed feel less like wet noodles now, more like... dry napkins, so progress! Also, I have been trying to get out of bed early these past few days, something like 6am, but I Just cant Do it It's like... I wake up, open my eyes, then I go like meeeeEeEEHhhhhh, close them, and then what do you know it's 9 am. Any tips? 1 Quote Link to comment
Elastigirl Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 If your usual wake up time is 9, then 6 is a BIG change. I'd start at the other end, and go to bed at a good time, giving yourself 8 hours. Shoot for maybe 7:30 or 8 at first as your wake up time. My alarm is across the room. To turn it off, I have to get up and go hit the off button. I let myself hit the snooze button once. Then I open my blinds, and turn on my light. The 10 minute snooze gives me time to transition , but the lights usually keep me from falling asleep again. 1 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment

Tried to do some exercise after waking up, then after 3 minutes I got tired and went back to bed. I think I'll aim lower next time and try to do something like... I dunno... a simple warm up routine. I'll be less discouraging then a full blown workout ___ Did some yoga today, I wasn't as bad at this one, compared to the other two I did so far. Still, I am a bit worried. School is starting soon, and that means : Leave the house at 7am, get back at 7 pm. It's going to be difficult to find the time to workout with all of this...unless I find a way to get my butt going earlier in the morning. But at least we're on day 3 Quote Link to comment
Lemynaded Posted August 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Day 4 Today was some sort of cardio training with weight I am tired, happy that I did this Still difficult to get myself to do it though Quote Link to comment
Lemynaded Posted August 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Day 4.1 Allright, here's a secondary objective that I decided could be a good thing to do: - Do a small warm up routine after drinking my coffee in the morning ... Well I guess that implies I need to make coffee then, okok : - Make coffee after waking up - Do a small warm up routine after drinking said coffee The warm up ain't difficult, but it should push me to do something in the morning I'll update the first post and add this rule Quote Link to comment
Lemynaded Posted August 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Day 5 An other yoga like workout And I REALLY should start doing some strength training because My Arms Are WEAK Secondary objective Day 0.1 I made some progress but don't think I really accomplished my secondary objective It's progress, because I ended up doing my workout earlier But it ain't a success because... well... it took me way to long to actually prepare my coffee and then get down stair and do the small warm up So I'll count this as day 0.1, progress, but not day 1 Quote Link to comment
Lemynaded Posted August 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Day 06 Today was leg day I don't feel them anymore Secondary objective Day 0.2 I am juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust there Just need a teeny tiny push Quote Link to comment
Lemynaded Posted August 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Day 07 Full week done! School is starting again tomorrow, I hope I'll be able to keep doing this. Today was... I dunno what kind of workout it was, but it was nice. Painful but nice Secondary objective Day 0 I don't feel like today was much of a success, I try again tomorrow Quote Link to comment
Lemynaded Posted August 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Day 08 Nice! So I am able to workout even during school. Officially the first time that I've finished my workout before 7 am. Today was the accelerator again. Wasn't as bad as last time (I think?), so that's nice Secondary Objective Day 1 Haha! Yeah like I said, I finally managed to get my butt going in the morning. That makes me happy Quote Link to comment
Lemynaded Posted August 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Day 09 Yep! Did the warrior workout today. I am noticing a bit of a difference this time, my arms lasted a tad bit longer today. That's nice! Secondary Objective Day 2 That's day no2! Nice nice nice! Quote Link to comment

Lemynaded Posted August 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Day 10 Today was yoga. My flexibility was... adequate? Balance still need some work... ok it needs a lot of work. I am happy that I took the time to do this Secondary Objective Day 2.1 Eeeeeh started my workout a bit to late this time around (something like 7am, I aim for 5:45am, that way I get my workout in before school) Didn't have school today though, so no problem. 1 Quote Link to comment

Lemynaded Posted August 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Day 14 Today I did a workout called triometrics The description said it was a cardio workout, turns out it's also a lower body strength workout, and now I can't feel my legs. It doesn't hurt though, it's kind of amazing how doing a small warm up makes the whole process of working out so much better 20 hours ago, Elastigirl said: Woot! Woot indeed! 1 Quote Link to comment
Lemynaded Posted August 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Day 15 So... much... cardio And I take back what I said about my legs not hurting Secondary Objective Day 1 Yep! Quote Link to comment
Lemynaded Posted August 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Day 16 Warrior (P90X3) workout today A mix of cardio, upper body, lower body and core exercises. Also, today it came to my attention that eating something heavy before working out is not a good idea. Today... well it wasn't so fun Secondary objective Day 0 Bed was too comfortable Quote Link to comment
Lemynaded Posted August 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Day 17 Yoga today Balance was a bit better then usual. That's nice Still need some work Quote Link to comment
