KB Girl Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yay for a good day! So many squats!!Not that many really! Only 20 or so! Woohoo for counting. Looks like good calorie and protein numbers. I think we counter haters should get an automatic 25 point constitution bonus when we make ourselves keep track. And then we should force spread sheet lovers to not count for a month Absolutely, I second this! Too bad Wolvy isn't here anymore, then we could have a chaossasin debate on his thread..

KB Girl Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Tuesday 28-01 (day 2, week 4) It was a pretty good day, I got some important school work done and cooked a big batch of stamppot (potatoes with kale, all mashed up) and ham, chicken and sausage. Nomnomnom. Training was also good- pushed at some mental boundaries with those long sets. I did the tracking and I actually really don't want to post it here because I overate... but lets just say I tracked (rubbed it in my own face) and that at least is a good thing. Calories 2441, protein 119 grams. warming up: long session of stretching, mobility and activation 'cause I was sore.active hangs: 5x 3secondskb snatch: 7 minutes, single switch with 12kg (oh the pain)kb snatch: 5 minutes, multi switch with 16kg double kb black longcycle: 3 minutes with 2x10kgchinup negatives: 4messing around: practicing somersaults and handstands Again no training clip because I left my phone at home :/ So instead here is a video of one of our trainers messing about; You can see my kb class in the background xD Main Quest: becoming a decent kettlebell lifter and a great coach Current challenge: KB Girl gets her bujo back my instagram - my gym's instagram Link to comment
Fonzico Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Mmm, that is some good sounding food! Good for you for tracking in the face of disappointment.. it really is the first step to getting things sorted, if you're not happy with how you're eating. Yay for lots of protein though!

obax Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I almost convinced my mother to make stamppot for christmas dinner instead of plain mashed potatoes, but she chickened out at the last second (she doesn't like trying new things). I have thus far been too lazy to make it for myself but one of these days I'll go for it... Dare mighty things Current Challenge Link to comment

raptron Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Stamppot sounds a lot like colcannon, which is just amazing, and sounds like it would be perfect for endurance training days.

Abtacha Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Great workout! I agree with Lilith about the mental thing. Sometimes it's just your mind holding you back while your body would be just fine doing it.Good thing you started tracking again. Even though you didn't follow your rules at least you're not lying to yourself about it that's why I keep a food journal, it's way to easy to blame everyone and everything but yourself.Nice video!

I'll do a beginners tutorial when I finish my current school project I can probably do that. I was using 30-35 lbs for swings the only time I ever used KBs. I look forward to the tutorial.

KB Girl Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Soo, after three hours on the train all I really want to do is fall asleep. How can sitting for 3 hours be so tiring? Update time. Wednesday 29-01 (day 3, week 4)It was a rest day, spend some extra time with the dog in the cold after the boyfriend and I went shopping for a new winter coat. It's so nice and warm I actually dread going outside a lot less! In the evening I visited a friend and had some wine so... umm calories still not so good. But I relearned how to ride my bike without hands so I could stick em in my pockets to prevent them freezing off!Calories: 2972 , Protein: 183grams Thursday 30-01 (day 4, week 4)Spend most of the day at the gym because we had a meeting with all trainers. We're putting together a sort of ranking system for our members, with skills/goals they can cross off a list to help with figuring out what kinda stuff to aim for. It was fun, but really quite cold the whole time- so I was very stiff. I had intended to workout before classes started but it had gotten too late. After vacuuming and teaching my first class (doing the warming up along with them) I was feeling a lot less stiff and much more up for some work, so I joined the class my bf taught. Foodwise, getting back on track. Calories: 2023, Protein: 114grams. warming up: lots of squatting, hip mobilitywalking lunges: too manyfront squat: 5x30kg, 5x40kg, 3x50kg, 1x60kg, 1x65kg (last one is a PR)active hangs: 10x 4 secondsbodyweight rows: 2x5pushups: 4x5kb half snatch: 30 with 16kggoblet squat: 40 with 16kgchinup: one 'cause I'm slacking with the video i'll leave an older one here that i just uploaded; Was practicing my breathing aaand still turning my hand too far in.
