Pavelluvs2eat Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hi! I finished my first challenge last go around so this time I'm joining a guild. Ee, pretty excited and I've got ideas (dangerous things, ideas.) Main QuestI'm trying to get in shape for my wedding next November. Currently working on being bigger and stronger using bodyweight exercises. Quest 1I'll be using You Are Your Own Gym by Mark Lauren for my challenge. I'm going to start the 10 week program with this challenge and continue it to finish up. My goal is just to do each week of the program. It's 4 workouts a week that I'll be doing in blocks of Monday/Tuesday and Thursday/Friday since they work different muscles each day I think this is totally possible. A - 4 workoutsB - 3 workoutsC - 2 workouts Quest 2I want to get more out of my workouts and in this instance I'm going to improve the eating habits around my workouts by following Mark's advice and eating a post-workout meal that includes protein and a limited amount of carbohydrates. A - 4 post workout mealsB - 3 post workout mealsC - 2 post workout meals Quest 3Staying hydrated enough is still a challenge for me so I'm going to carry it over from my last challenge. A - 6 glasses of water a day.B - 5 glasses of water a day.C - 4 glasses of water a day. I'm planning on adding to this tomorrow, but currently I gotta work on my Russian homework. 3 Quote My body tells me no, but I want more! I. Want. More!

Hazard Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hi Pavelluvs! On the Guild Signup form, where is asks for your challenge thread URL, you filled in " Pavelluvs2eat never sneaks on an empty stomach." That's the title of your challenge, not its URL. The URL is the web address of your challenge thread. This is your topic URL this challenge: rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/56329-pavelluvs2eat-never-sneaks-on-an-empty-stomach/ I'm correcting it manually this time, but in future challenges please make sure you put your challenge URL instead of your challenge title.

Pavelluvs2eat Posted November 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Workout: This is how I'm trying to feel after that workout, but my forearms keep twinging as if to say "WHAT THE HELL MAN. WE TRUSTED YOU." Done in Ladders. Every time it gets back to one is a single ladder, on the LMU I started a second ladder but couldn't get any farther. For the LMI I started coming down but time ran out since the sets are only supposed to last 7.5 minutes. It's just as well, I think I would've hit failure on the way down. Push Ups: 1 → 6 → 1Let Me Ups: 1→ 4 → 1 → 2Military Press: 1 → 4 → 1Let Me Ins 1 → 12 → 7 After today's workout I'm sorta feeling like Janeway here.. Post Workout Meal - A!Yay! AB&J with cheese sticks was the best I could muster from the fridge, but it was filling and tasty so I liked it. Water - A!6 glasses - may have been 7 but I lost count after 5 and I know I had more than that. Feeling really good about this one. 2 Quote My body tells me no, but I want more! I. Want. More!

Amdhiel Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Awesome job on day 1!! Not sure if you're an app person but there is one for YAYOG which is pretty useful. If you're doing one of the 10 week programs it will walk you through everything with videos and cues/timers for each exercise. It also saves the history each time you complete a day. It's been helpful for me when I've wanted to work out at odd times away from home. I carry a 32 oz water bottle with me pretty much everywhere I go it makes getting my water a lot easier .

Pavelluvs2eat Posted November 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Yesterday! No workout, Assassin's Creed Unity came out and despite my attempts to break away...Well. Tomorrow is another day as they say. Water: B, 5 glasses. My triceps are still sore so I may do the workout I should've done Tuesday tomorrow on Thursday since it's legs and things and do upper body again on Friday before getting into the swing of it again next week. Today's Water is looking like a B too. 2 Quote My body tells me no, but I want more! I. Want. More! Current ChallengePavel Sneaks Back In Level 2Half OrcAssassin Link to post
Amdhiel Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Ehh just get the workouts done in order with in a week. Games are fun but you only need to pull yourself away for 36 minutes. I'm sure you can do that [emoji1]. 3 Quote Assassin Battle Log | MFP: Amdhiel Challenges: Current, #7, #6, #5, #4, #3, #2, #1 "Why do we fall sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up."

PachaTisai Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 I second doing the workouts in order. I get up at 0-Dark-Thirty to get in my workouts, that way I have the rest of the time for whatever I want to do. Like that time I wanted to do more mountain climbers than Amdhiel. Point is, making excuses for not being healthy is how we all got here. The biggest change we (and by we, I mean me) need to make is to stop making excuses on why we have better things to do than be healthy. That said, AC is amazeballs, and I totally get it... 2 Quote Relax, don't worry, have a homebrew! Link to post

Pavelluvs2eat Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Ow. Okay. Yesterday. Workout: Did it. And ow. I don't know how to get to my history in the YAYOG app but I did a full workout, although I cut one set short because it involved jumping and there's only so many times I want to irritate my downstairs neighbors. I will have to do that workout earlier in the day next time so as to reduce that risk. Water: A, 6 glasses wooo! Post Workout Meal: A, I made a bean/turkey/cheese quesadilla. Pretty tasty. 2 Quote My body tells me no, but I want more! I. Want. More! Current ChallengePavel Sneaks Back In Level 2Half OrcAssassin Link to post

Sadly you can't add history but you can mark prior workouts as done by going into workout>>guided program>>days (upper right) and checking off the day. Also... which program are you doing and where did you get an exercise with jumping? Quote Assassin Battle Log | MFP: Amdhiel Challenges: Current, #7, #6, #5, #4, #3, #2, #1 "Why do we fall sir?

Pavelluvs2eat Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I don't want to add it, I just want to see what I did the other day. It showed me a log, so I know it generates one - but I can't pull it up after the fact. :\ I think this was my only gripe about the app when I first got it. I'm doing the intermediate class, and the exercise is Toyotas. 1 Quote My body tells me no, but I want more! I. Want. More! Current ChallengePavel Sneaks Back In Level 2Half OrcAssassin Link to post

If you saved your history after the workout then you just hit the orange history button on the main screen of the app. 1 Quote Assassin Battle Log | MFP: Amdhiel Challenges: Current, #7, #6, #5, #4, #3, #2, #1 "Why do we fall sir?

Pavelluvs2eat Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I was sore but not in pain afterwards, so I take that as a good sign. Plus I'm doing a slightly easier form of let me ups and working up to real ones. 2 Quote My body tells me no, but I want more! I. Want. More!
