Amdhiel Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Wow, that's some great progress! Looks like you are gaining muscle! Thanks! Slowly but surely the change is coming . I'm starting to see the difference too, I have some definition in my calves and biceps . 1 Quote Assassin Battle Log | MFP: Amdhiel Challenges: Current, #7, #6, #5, #4, #3, #2, #1 "Why do we fall sir?

Amdhiel Posted September 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Nothing like regular exercise to stimulate the appetite! Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on.... So I'm lame and didn't see this earlier... I'm guessing/hoping that you're quoting from Disgustipated by Tool... If so you are totally baller!!

Amdhiel Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Had a PT session this morning and overall I'm seeing decreases in the sciatica issues. He also gave me some suggestions for stretching my shoulder which will hopefully help with improving mobility. I'm going give myself a side quest of stretching my shoulders and hamstrings 1x a day and doing sciatica stuff 2-3 times a day. I need to turn this stuff into habits if I'm ever want to be able to do more serious movement based stuff. I'm thinking that one of my quests next challenge may involve hanging based on idoportal's hanging challenge since it recommends starting with 7 mins of passive hangs for situations like mine (strong & inflexible shoulders). It also seems quite sensible to work on considering I'd really like to decrease and/or fight off carpal tunnel issues and I have long term goals for things like climbing and parkour. 1 Quote Assassin Battle Log | MFP: Amdhiel Challenges: Current, #7, #6, #5, #4, #3, #2, #1 "Why do we fall sir?

I'm going to check that out. =) Yeah I was poking around the other day and found it. I figure it's a reasonable place to start since I'm trying to increase flexibility so why not do 6 weeks of hanging 7 mins a day. That will def be harder for me than the stuff I've been doing. I need a challenge, right? If you want to do it next challenge we can cheer each other on 2 Quote Assassin Battle Log | MFP: Amdhiel Challenges: Current, #7, #6, #5, #4, #3, #2, #1 "Why do we fall sir?

Amdhiel Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Well, I've pretty much ignored my battle log for the entire 6WC and now I have a better idea of what will be going here on a regular basis. Going forward, this will be the home of the small daily things I need to keep doing like tracking food and water intake, non-6WC fitness stuff, measurements/progress and ofc other randomness. 10/27/14Food - Fat 91, Carbs 167, Protein 139, Calories 2,029Bfast - Peaches w/ cottage cheese and coffeeAM Snack - protein barLunch - mini hamburger w/ broccoli, cauliflower and carrotsPM Snack - apple w/ pbDinner - chicken w/ broccoli, cauliflower and carrotsWater - 14 cupsSteps - 7,911 3 Quote Assassin Battle Log | MFP: Amdhiel Challenges: Current, #7, #6, #5, #4, #3, #2, #1 "Why do we fall sir?

Making jerky isn't difficult, if you're willing to invest $40 in a dehydrator. Then, you will know exactly what beef your eating. Quote Relax, don't worry, have a homebrew! Link to comment

Then, you will know exactly what beef your eating. Don't dehydrators take up a crapton of space tho? Some things I read said you can do it in the oven over 6-8 hours... I'd rather make my own or find a good source of non-chemical loaded. I know UW has a butcher where they sell meat from their stock and I'm pretty sure its a grass fed herd, I should ask my sister.

aeshnidae Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I also find it challenging to stay on track when it's colder and darker (both in the morning and at night!). The joys of womanhood only compound it. I'm having a heck of a time with both of those issues right now, in addition to be terribly jetlagged. I didn't make it to the gym this morning because my body desperately needed more sleep, so I let it have sleep. I'm sure we'll both get back on track quickly! 2 Quote Aeshnidae, The Girl with the Dragonfly TattooHuman RangerLevel 4 | STR 9 | DEX 8 | STA 5 | CON 5 | WIS 8 | CHA 3 Aeshnidae Flips the Bird at Being Sick | Battle Log | Skull Crushers IIIIntro Post | MFP | 2nd Challenge "Fire bad, tree pretty.""Nothing but the rain..."

Amdhiel Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Ah HA! Found you. Subbed and cheering you on, woo! Always glad to have another person watching me fail succeed . This weekend has been horrible food wise, energy wise and sleep wise. Part of the problem is I've been an idiot and ran out of my Advair so my asthma and lungs are full of hate, the meds are waiting for me to pick them up at the pharmacy which I'll do tomorrow. I know better than to be an idiot about my asthma but the streak of win got the better of me. At least I got my hair cut (yay for no more tangle prone dry ends) and made food for next week. 11/1/14Food - Fat 74, Carbs 111, Protein 80, Calories 1,400Bfast - Peaches w/ cottage cheese, and coffeeAM Snack - N/ALunch - apple w/ pbPM Snack - protein shakeDinner - doughnutWater - ? cupsSteps - 7,522YAYOG - Core Intervals 3 x 12 Leg Lifts, 3 x 12 Hyperextensions, 3 x 12 Hello Darlings, 3 x 12 Supermans 11/2/14Food - Fat 83, Carbs 108, Protein 86, Calories 1507Bfast - Doughnut (they're gone... if I give in again I'll go downtown to the bakery and buy one, not a box of 6 from the store)AM Snack - Peaches w/ cottage cheeseLunch - N/APM Snack - Apple w/ pbDinner - mini hamburgers w/ broccoli, cauliflower and carrotsWater - 6+ cupsSteps - <1kYAYOG - 10 x 10 Lunges, 8 LMI, 6 Push Ups hip height in 20 mins Going to put the past few days behind me and not worry about the lapse of judgement. The future and taking care of myself is more important. I think fixing my sleep patterns (again) will have to be part of my next 6WC b/c the current pattern really isn't working for me. 2 Quote Assassin Battle Log | MFP: Amdhiel Challenges: Current, #7, #6, #5, #4, #3, #2, #1 "Why do we fall sir?

Amdhiel Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Okay, time to pretend I can get my head to wind down at a reasonable time so I can get some sleep. I'm also cursing my asthma and lack of Advair >.<. It's always fun when I have to take hits off my albuterol every 4 hours (yea... I sound like I'm taking drugs... wait I am so that I can keep breathing). Maybe this will teach me again not to be forgetful about ordering refills of my meds. 1 Quote Assassin Battle Log | MFP: Amdhiel Challenges: Current, #7, #6, #5, #4, #3, #2, #1 "Why do we fall sir?

I'll get them tonight after work cuz else I'll start trying to get bronchitis knowing me. The weather can't decide in Madison either. It snowed on Friday and today it's supposed to hit the upper 50's. 1 Quote Assassin Battle Log | MFP: Amdhiel Challenges: Current, #7, #6, #5, #4, #3, #2, #1 "Why do we fall sir?
