Mangostrike Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Stardate 20140325.2236 Back At It After a shot weekend, and a rough week last week, I'm making a push this week for redemption. Ran this morning, and ate decently, got my Handstands in just after dinner, and then alternated between BBWW and painting some miniatures. Workout: AM Run: 2.42 Km (1.50 Mi) in 12'38" with an average pace of 5;13"/Km (8'24"/Mi). 5 mins Handstand Practice. [2x25] Body Weight Squats[2x25] BW Pushups[2x30] Lunges[2x15/15] DB Rows (45 Lbs) Food: Egg, Beef, Bacon, Spring Mix, Black CoffeeChicken Breast, Celery, Tomato, Dressing, Black CoffeeTortilla Chips, Glass of CokeSausage, Pasta, Green Bell Pepper 100% Paleo? Nope. Dressing & Chips. Creativity: Painted the darker grey on the Guns & Backpacks of my Space Wolves (2+ hours to do 10 of each!). Going to do a flesh basecoat on one of them and then I get to wash them! Really excited about that step, but not sure if I have enough Black Wash. 1 Quote MangostrikeRace: Stone Troll | Class: Ranger[Level: 3 | STR 6 | DEX 2.5 | STA 6.25 | CON 2 | WIS 3 | CHA 3.5 ]Battle Log 1-First-Blood 2-Nerf-Herder 3-A-New-Hope 4-Get-Angry If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Mangostrike Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I've noticed that I may have over-done the challenge goals for this run, and that is making it hard for me to hit everything. On the other hand, I AM exercising more than ever, so it's not a wash. You might be in the same boat! I was looking at your food intake for last week when you had the weight gain, you had a lot of bacon around that time. Bacon is such a high sodium food that it might have been soaking up your body's water! Anyway, you're still kicking some serious ass, don't get discouraged! You've got this! The strange thing was that although Friday's weigh in was at 223.8 lbs (+1.4 lbs from the prior week), the next day I was down to 221.4 (-1.0 lbs from the prior week). So I guess something was up with my control measurements that day. It might have been the bacon (my wife really isn't a fan of this, but...Paleo Bro, Ya Know?), but could also have been a lower intake of water that week. Does it make sense that by drinking less water, my body would store more and thus retain some extra weight? I know what you mean about exercising more. Even when I half ass it, I do more than I used to. Today I knocked out TWO sets of 25 pushups (with decent form too), I didn't know I could do that! 1 Quote MangostrikeRace: Stone Troll | Class: Ranger[Level: 3 | STR 6 | DEX 2.5 | STA 6.25 | CON 2 | WIS 3 | CHA 3.5 ]Battle Log 1-First-Blood 2-Nerf-Herder 3-A-New-Hope 4-Get-Angry If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

citizenkade Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Two sets of 25 is badass! And yes, your body WILL hold on to water when you drink less. Couple that with sodium from the bacon, and the weight makes perfect sense! Good to see such awesome progress, man! 2 Quote Race: Half Elf/Human. Class: Wildling Ranger.

Mangostrike Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Stardate 20140328.2159 Progress Dropped below 220 Lbs!!If I continue with the average trend I've been getting I'll drop below 218.6 Lbs next week, which will be over 50% to my goal, by the end of the second challenge. I also managed to hang up a pull-up bar in the back yard (literally just a stick, rope & two clove hitch knots on a tree branch). Workout: AM Run 2.46 Km (1.53 Mi) in 13'23" with an average pace of 5'26"/Km (8'45"/Mi).

Mangostrike Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Stardate 20140330.1043 Back At It! Pushing myself for the end of the challenge. I feel great about my recent progress, even if the grading/points system doesn't reflect it too much. Workout: Saturday:[2x25] Body Weight Squats[2x25] BW Pushups[2x30] Lunges[10/10 & 15/15] DB Rows (45 Lbs) Sunday:Ran 5.02 Km (3.12 Mi) in 27'45" with an average pace of 5'31"/Km (8'53"/Mi). **Fastest recorded 5K time.On January 25th, this took me 36'25" to do the same distance. Creativity: Spent many hours on the coffee table-top this weekend, and it is now complete. It took much longer than I would have liked, because the drill I'm using keeps having the batteries die on me (Black & Decker Versapak). I can only get about 10 holes drilled or screws tightened before it dies completely. Next step is to attach the top to the frame and then sand/stain! Getting closer. Also bought some technical paint for my 40K bases, so I'm looking forward to playing around with that! 1 Quote MangostrikeRace: Stone Troll | Class: Ranger[Level: 3 | STR 6 | DEX 2.5 | STA 6.25 | CON 2 | WIS 3 | CHA 3.5 ]Battle Log 1-First-Blood 2-Nerf-Herder 3-A-New-Hope 4-Get-Angry If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
