Cleatorus: The Fitness Log

[Cleatorus]

Hello! My name is Cleatorus, same as my WoW handle, and this is my Log. I would consider myself a Mountain Dwarf type at 4'11" and 170lbs. I am looking to be a warrior/ranger hybrid for strength and stamina. I want to be an adorable nature-loving, hiking, gardening person as well as a strong self-sufficient badass. I have let depression and stress eating keep me from living a healthy adult life. I used to play ITG/DDR constantly to keep in shape but after getting married and having a child my dance game routine has fallen to the wayside. . I have been getting into hiking and gardening as outdoor activities to be more active without scaring myself into being inactive again. I joined NF to be accountable to like-minded, accepting, individuals and to reach my lifestyle/weightloss goals.

 

This thread will be used as a daily log. Be it meals or activity, I will update thus once a day!

Thanks! I've done some basic weight training at the gym, (rowing, squats with weights and something where I hold a weighted bar and step up on this big foam block) in my office building and am really looking forward to getting back into it.

 

 haven't joined a group like this before and am loving how helpful everyone seems to be

 

Love your pic, go Wonder Woman~

Friday May 22nd:

 

Walked all around OTA with the hubby as part of our anniversary celebrations: 10099 steps/about 5.16mi

 

Did 5 squats, twice when visiting the restroom. So...5x2 I believe is how that works.

Completed 10mins cardio 

 

 

Coffee: 1cup

 

Water: 2 bottles

I am so sore! It's a sad thing cause I didn't work that hard but awesome cause its a reminder that im trying.

[Cleatorus]

Short beach/bay front hike 2.16mi

 

Two sets of 10 rows with a 10lb weight

 

Walked the distance between my in-laws and my in-law grandparents beach houses instead of driving/taking the golf cart over

[Cleatorus]

First real day back in the gym for lunch break:

 

3 sets of 15 reps squats using TRX suspension 

 

3x15 rows trx suspension

 

3x15 walking lunge

 

3x15 pushups on foam block

 

3x15 bicep curls, 10lb 

 

3x15 triceps kickback

 

This weird thing where I stand on one leg and raise the weight from waist level to above my head...3x15 on each side

 

I'm not sure what the last set is called but I will attempt to describe it: I stood upright in front of this machine that had arms with pulleys that attached to weights and did a sort of cross body pulling maneuver?? I don't know, i'll ask Hiromi next time I go in (thursday) what that exercise/machine is called.

[Cleatorus]

Oop! Forgot to update last night.

 

Break day, did not go to gym.

 

5 Squats on trips to the restroom.

2 sets of 15 repetitions where I stepped up on a foam block and lifted a weighted ball above my head

 

2x15 lunge with 10lb in each hand

5mins cardio

 

Arms are less sore, legs have minimal soreness. Improving!

 

Edit: Forgot to mention, picked up 30lbs to feel how much i'd actually lost and was pleasantly surprised. I'll post a pick of me the same when I get to 60lbs lost!

[Cleatorus]

Had to go to the doctors on Friday so was inactive and out due to pain medication.

 

But yesterday I got lots of movement in at the RUSH SHOW!!

First day back in the gym after my injury!

 

I did 3 sets of 15 reps, step up knee lift

 

3x15 squat walk w/ resistance band

 

3x15 hamstring curl using ball 

 

3x15 (I googled but couldn't find the name of this one, ill ask H when I go in next what it is called) I sat on a foam block with my hands behind me and tightened my abs to bring my knees to my chest (or as close as I could get)...kind of like I was a clam opening and closing. That's a weird image lolol.

I've been going to the doctors for lower back pain this past month and am seeing a specialist next month, so my posting may be slow/delayed until I have an answer to my problem. :c

[Cleatorus]

I am back from my hiatus! I was having a lot of back pain and decided to do something i've wanted to do since I was a teen, I got a breast reduction. They took out 3lbs of tissue and my back pain is completely gone. 

I've been in recovery from that and went back to the gym last Thursday, the 27th.

 

3x15 weighted squats (10lbs)

3x15 lifting a weighted ball from a sitting position

3x15 lay on back, legs on ball, roll ball under you with heels

3x15 lay on back, legs on ball, tighten ab muscles, relax, repeat

 

I went back today:

 

3x15 seated cable row (15lbs)

3x15 pulling weight via cable machine, arms out, to center

3x15 pulling weight via cable machine, both hands on one cable, turning at hips, to shoulder opposite of arm I was using to pull

 

I really  need to learn exercise names.

[Cleatorus]

Aah, i've been moving and only have internet at work so i'll have to do a more comprehensive update later. To be accountable, I went on:

 

8/30

10/6

10/8

10/13

 

1hr sessions each time, alternating arms, legs and core. Im still severely lacking in core strength...just generally in strength but i've made progress and that's all that matters to me right now.

[Cleatorus]

Whomp, whomp.

 

Just a quick update to note that I haven't been in the gym in a while but am finally getting inspired to go again.
