18ck Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Dropped out of rowing today because we couldn't all fit our stuff in if I went. Instead, I went for a trickathon with Flyer19 while Mrs 18ck had a short run by the river. A trickathon is like a long* run where you stop at various places and do tricks. Flyer19 (aka 18ckette) is getting a bit narked with Nerd Fitness on the old iPhone but might get back into it with the help of Tapatalk, or might not, who knows. In the meantime, here she is in action doing box jumps I did some pretty good handstand work, though I say so myself, and it was a lot of fun. In the afternoon we went to a classical concert for children (William Tell Overture, Carnival of the Animals, and A Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra) and afterwards went and blew my MFP calorie limit shockingly at a restaurant. Strange place: the main course was minuscule and the dessert was the size of a swimming pool. Anyway, Let us not speak of this.*=By 8-year-old standards Level 20 Ferret Demon Scout STR 43 | DEX 21 | STA 49 | CON 30 | WIS 45 | CHA 21 Challenges: #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 Instagram | Wordpress | Twitter | Linkedin | Goodreads | Facebook: *spits* I despise facebook!

18ck Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I had a pretty good day today - ate all the amino acids and the fruits, stayed well inside my calorie limit and did club circuits followed by 130 pushups I've just remembered handstands but it's late and after all those pushups I don't trust myself not to faceplant. That - along with Portuguese - is a little weak lately and I need to up my game a bit, maybe next week if work is a bit calmer.

18ck Posted November 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Whys that?Just ate too much and did sod all! Some days are like that. Just tried to avoid letting every day be one Well, yesterday was a but better but not much: again with the eating too much. I jogged with Flyer19 most of the way to her music lesson to get her used to longer distances. I tried to run in the afternoon but I was significantly de-mojoed. I flolloped along the track buy couldn't keep it up so walked back to my bike. This morning I did a hundred-odd pushups (not as many as last time), went for a short row in the Thames, which was lovely, and then went for another run but... Same again, really - I had a few moments, but basically, I didn't have any energy. I've been working hard all week and overindulged at the weekend so the combination of poor diet and lack of sleep left me unable to complete the 15 mile run I had planned - I just did a 7 mile walk/run instead. Oh and a 45 sec leaning handstand. But still, not a great weekend.

(I have been assured by younger people that this is how they actually speak!)I'll ask M ' daughter about that - it's a new one on me. Are you sure they weren't just winding you up? Anyway, doing sort of Ok. Not sparkling but not crap either. How are you getting on?Work any better yet? One job done and I'm on a mission to get another out of the way between now and Saturday. Then I think I'll have a slightly more relaxed life for a bit. So yesterday I did 20 minutes on the ergo, some Portuguese reading and ate pretty sensibly, tracking all the kcals. Today I did 117 pushups and some pilates. I'm staying in a B&B I used to visit weekly. This will be my last stay. The landlady puts some biscuits, a bowl of chocolates and a decanter of sherry in every room. It's not the best place to be if you have no willpower. I haven't done any Portuguese because I've been trying to finish my book (Pnin by Vladimir Nabokov) and my handstands are lagging too, so no streaks for me!
