lishvicious Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Congratulations on a great first day. I might copy your warm up. I usually just do 5 minutes on a stationary bike, this will be a great change of pace and keep me from wanting to shoot myself. It is a fun warm up - I like a bit of variation and this one has just the right amount. YEAH for a solid day 1! Man, I woke up this morning and just didn't want to work out either... it was gray and gloomy out and maybe I'll just do it -after- work... I finally just stopped thinking about it and went and did it. IT'S SO HARD!!! But I felt so much better after!! It is hard to work up the motivation sometimes, but then once you do it you are left wondering why you were being such a whingy poo in the first place. Whoop! Get-it girl! Yeah baby! Great start! Congratulations!Love that you are making,the invitations to the Halloween party! Post a pic when you are done! I will post some photos tonight Congrats on an AWESOME Day 1!! planning things out always helps to get things done, you got this!! Thanks Glad to hear that you crushed you day Lish! Even better that you snapped yourself out of your whiney mood and crushed your workout! (I get the feeling I'm going to be using crush a lot over the next 6 weeks....)

lishvicious Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 -------Day Two Report-------- Another successful day I did my strength workout in the morning after I dropped the girls off at school and child care. It was nice to have some child-free exercise time - a lot easier to concentrate! I didn't end up having steak and salad for dinner tonight because my friend ended up being too busy to come over for dinner - so I just stuck to my standard meal plan instead - so food was a win too. And TV wise - it is going to be off again tonight and I'm going to be doing more halloween party stuff - cutting out cats and bats and pumpkins and ghosts - all the fun stuff - out of cardboard. These are the invitations I made last night... 6 Level 1 :: Lycan (STR-2 :: DEX-2 :: STA-2 :: CON-2 :: WIS-1 :: CHA-1) Challenges: One Daily logs: Battle log / MFP Link to comment

Keldon Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I did my strength workout in the morning after I dropped the girls off at school and child care. It was nice to have some child-free exercise time - a lot easier to concentrate! Gonna try that today with the bodyweight workout, twins are going grocery shopping with my wife and son will be in preschool. I have an hour and a half to myself before work! 1 8/28/14 - Today I climbed a mountain. A FREAKING MOUNTAIN.

I love data, I love numbers, and I love tracking my body, but in the end I just want to be strong. I want my chest to stick out further than my stomach and I want to lift, play with, and move my sons. That's what's important to me. Change will happen. Not in days and weeks but in months and years..... But that's ok because I'm in this for the long haul. Link to comment

lishvicious Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 -------Day Three Report-------- Last night my youngest was seriously coughing her lungs up - so I made the executive decision to get her in my bed and go to bed super early. So today I was feeling mega-energised after having 9 hours sleep. I had three Ikea bookcases delivered today, so a good portion of the day was spent putting those together and filling them up with my books/comics/toys (so much fun). Unfortunately miss three year old wasn't feeling very well still today so instead of doing my plyometrics workout I put on Just Dance on the wii and let her choose what songs I danced to. I went through 11 songs and there was a lot of jumping around - so I'm happy that I got a workout in and I kept her entertained. I was also supposed to go out for a function dinner tonight - but since the little one is still a bit unwell I decided to not go. So no function dinner for me - just the same plain old chicken, vegetables and natural peanut butter. And tonight I was sooooooo close to turning on the TV, but I stopped myself - so now back to the making of the Halloween party stuffs. Yay! In conclusion, I freakin' rocked today!

lishvicious Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 This was me in my shed today - damn spiders!-------Day Four Report-------- Quest 1: Failing to plan, means planning to failYes and yes! I ate according to my meal plan except that I had rump steak instead of tuna in my salad for lunch today. I also did my scheduled strength workout. So everything is going according to plan bwahahahaha! QUEST 2: Fit and strong for the journey ahead I my second strength workout for the week - and it was slightly eventful! First of all while doing my chin up training (lowering myself from the up position) I look over and less then a metre away is the biggest f%^k off spider I have seen in my life! Scared the living shit out of me, and after taking care of it I powered through the rest of the workout that had to be done in the shed thanks to that extra shot of adrenaline. I also discovered that I can't do dips on my pull up/leg raise/dip contraption. Basically I'm holding on my arms are straight they are taking all of my bodyweight and there is no way in hell I can lower that using my arms/chest alone. Yeah - I went from holding myself up to falling off every time I tried to dip. So looks like I'm going to be doing tricep dips on my weights bench instead. QUEST 3: Battle readyNot today - I did do yoga (to help with strength and flexibility) on Monday though - so I've already achieved this goal for the week. LIFE QUEST: Move towards the light No TV today either. Last night was pure frustration, spending 1.5 hours on a stupid little birthday cake banner and then getting so pissed off with it that I ended up throwing a tantie and absolutely demolishing it. Soooo tonight I'm hoping that my party creations will be a bit less annoying so I don't lose the plot again.
