AshPS Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hello again everyone! Sorry for the delayed return. I currently have state testing going on this week and I have totally been focused on getting that out of my hair. Hopefully next week will be more.....normal-ish. So, day 1 of my non-challenge went well. Some power walking in, 64 oz water and I completely avoided the sugar monsters. Moving slowly with the workouts as my knee has continued to give me issues since the injury some challenges back. It burns all of the time and particularly if I am on my knees or bend it back all of the way. Day 2 (yesterday) was going equally as well....35 min. Of some core work and all of my water in.....until I had an incident with a key lime pie. Not the whole pie mind you. Today no workout, but water is in so bonus from here on out and so far so good for avoiding the sugar monsters. I shall try to make it back in by the end of the week! Hugs everyone! 1 Quote Level 6 Pixie Assassin Rangerish Adventurer Current Challenge: Guess What??

I will admit to the fact that it made me laugh that you picked THAT unicorn! On those others..... I think I'll stick to your Purdy one. Now my dear Cinalyc, where shalt I find they NF abode??? Doest thou have a challenge thread this round??Yep, the real ones can look kind of scary. I would likely avoid them As for me and NF challenges, the shortest explanation is that I decided to lay out every last one of my life goals and work on at least one every day in some way, while continuing to maintain all of my health and fitness goals (which don't tend to change very much recently). This exploded into me constantly being busy to the point that I seriously do not have time to post about anything. This train must keep on trucking. I shouldn't even be posting this right now I might return after I've knocked a few of the bigger goals off the list. Until then, it's really great to hear from you. Good luck with everything! Oh, and thanks again for your help when I first joined NF - this snowball effect of "most productive I've ever been in my entire freaking life" did start there 1 Quote Gargoyle Assassin Present: I can has climb?

AshPS Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Where Ash go? Still here. And thank you for the check in my dear Darwin. I've just been dealing with some.......slightly insane teenagers and all the drama they have to offer and so I'm not as focused as I'd like right now. Buuuuuuut, I have been doing well on my water and gotten in some workouts, thou a bit more random than I would like. My downfall is that I have had more chocolate than is probably good for me. I promise to continue checking in, though probably a bit randomly until I find myself a nice quiet padded room to hide be productive in.

Damn knee. This was just a base workout to sort of get a feel for the weights and where I want to jump off from. Good news is that my muscles do remember how to do this. So first sets will all be raised next time.

AshPS Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Sooooooooo, here's today....... 5 min. mobility & stretchab workC25k: Day 1 28 Squat Challenge: Day 9 (40 prisoner box squats) Okay, so I have never been a runner in the past....now I have decided to change that. I hear it's good for out running zombies. Besides that, who knows when I might decide that I would like to randomly run a 5k. And to my surprise I am actually enjoying it. With that in mind I have taken up the C25k app. I had started it previously, but missed it last week so I decided to restart today.My goal the first time through is to to do it twice a week. I am giving my knee time to adjust. Then once it's complete I will go back through it again doing it every day it calls for. Man oh man do I have DOMS in my thighs from the squats. Sure.....walking's no problem, why do you ask? Have an awesome day! 1 Quote Level 6 Pixie Assassin Rangerish Adventurer Current Challenge: Guess What??

AshPS Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Wednesday (Legs)5 min. Mobility & Stretch10 min. CardioLower body workout Lower body being hips, thighs, butt. Very light weights, mostly bodyweight......kicks, leg curls, deadlifts and hip raises. I probably won't be adding any heavy weights to the lower body for awhile. Knee is holding up well, but it does burn for awhile after a workout. Rest day on the squat challenge. 3 Quote Level 6 Pixie Assassin Rangerish Adventurer Current Challenge: Guess What??
