Balthazar Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 hey dude, I was trying to look round for your challenge this time round but I can't seem to find it. Can you link me? Quote Link to comment
Old Man AL Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I've been trying to link it but failing so far. Tomorrow I should have time to really sit down and mess with it. I assume it's user error, but I guess it could be IE's fault... Slept horribly last night and it really affected my workouts today.Day 3 of 42 of the second challengeI drank 8 pints of waterI did my upper body workout this morning - but most of my lifts were offI did 20 mins on the elliptical for 121 calDiet was good except for eating two of the kids pizza crusts that still had some sauce and cheese on them. Seriously, I'm like a crackhead for carbs.Also, I ran out of prunes. Guess I'll have to hit the grocery store tomorrow. Praying for better sleep tonight. This challenge is now one 14th finished.

Old Man AL Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Day 4 of 42 of my second challengeGot a solid 8 hours of sleep last night. Awesome.Got up and did my omnibus lower body lifting this morning. I'm struggling to finish my last pair or exercises, hang cleans and windmills, like just to actually do the sets. I'm going to back the weight down a touch when I hit it again on Sunday. I need to be doing all the sets.Diet was good, not great. Still need to buy more prunes.Drank all 8 pints of water again.Didn't hit the elliptical at all today. Will have to do it twice tomorrow to keep my A.

Old Man AL Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Day 5 of 42 of my second challenge. It was a rest day for lifting.I did both of my runs on the elliptical. 134 and 110 calories. 2nd run was uninspired.I drank 9 pints of water.Diet had some indiscretions, in the form of summer sausage and crackers. Probably not the end of the world.I also snapped some pics this morning for a staring point reference, and planned out my Saturday so that I can get things done and not lose track of the day.

Old Man AL Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Today was pretty good! I got up early, did the warm up and hit the elliptical for 141 cal.Did the lower body workout before lunch and then fixed the car.Did the elliptical again this afternoon, but I wasn't watching the readout, and something went weird there, so I don't know what it was worth.I drank my water, and was all on top of my diet, since tomorrow is the weigh in for the first week of the challenge. We're a full sixth of the way through this one now! Rock on Rebels! Quote Level 2 Human Squire I want to be a Paladin.

Old Man AL Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Today is day 9 of 42 of my second challenge.My coffee pot died this morning. This was an emergency. It made enough coffee for me to survive the first 2 hours of my day and make it to work.I did get up and do my lower body workout this morning. My neck is still bugging me. Going to try the heating pad while I sleep tonight.Did my 20 on the elliptical this evening for 121 calories but that thing is messed up too, probably because it's a cheapo and 10 years old.I drank 9 pints of water today, but I still don't feel very hydrated.Diet today was rock solid, totally killed that.
