Nnimn Taking over the universe -one push-up at a time

[Nnimn]

Okay so I have had this challenge in mind for a while but it's taken me forever to get around to posting it. I've already been working on these so here 'tis:

 

My main quest is still anti-fragility with the additional goal of dropping my BF% down to 20. Sadly, as I haven't been doing much the two weeks between challenges, I feel as though I lost a some ground so it's not starting over but definitely backtracking a bit. This is not good since I've got two mud runs during this challenge. Time to step it up.

 

So in harmony with this I will:

 

1) Keep record of everything I eat AND post it. I don't have limitations so far as to what it is (I usually eat AIP with the occasional addition of corn tortillas and rice), just that ANYTHING eaten must be written down. I admit I'm a little afraid of this one since I can't stand recording what I view as failure so this will keep my in line, I guarantee it. I will write it all down in a notebook on days I don't have internet access. 2 END 3 CON

 

2) Run/walk a min of 15-20 miles a week. I would like to run at least 8 miles/week and increase to 15 by the end of the challenge. I have no idea if the last part is realistic but we'll see. The priority is to at least get them in at first and then work on ratio. 3 END 2 STR

 

Last, but certainly not least:

 

3) Continue my quest for world domination by honing push-up skills (since everyone knows this is key). In practice this means I start with 2 sets of 25 full perfect form push-ups every other day and increase every week (either in number or difficulty) as a part of my strength training for those days. Ultimately I'd like to be doing handstand push-ups but that's probably quite a ways off for now. 4 STR

 

Cause right now, for one hadned push-ups, this is me:

 

Life Quest: Draw something every day with my left hand. Post one of these possible atrocities once a week. 1 CHA

So today I got in a total of about 5 miles miles. I ran about 3 of them. This puts me at 12.5 total so I'm gonna get 7 miles tomorrow and Sunday. Yesterday was body weight workout and push ups (Azha was really disappointed when I walked her to the park to workout, not solely to throw the ball). 

 

So here's my food today:

BFAST- organic uncured beef hotdogs

LUNCH -Coconut Curry Chicken w/ veggies

DINNER- Protein Spinach Smoothie

Snacks- Pineapple and Corn Chips

So here's an update for the last few days. 

 

I got in a total of 22.5 miles last week, 8 of which I kind of crammed on Sunday. 

 

Saturday:

50 full push-ups

30 Straight leg body weight rows

50 Single Leg Squats

an uknown amount of Hanging Knee Raises

 

and here's my single attempt last week at left handed art (it seriously looks like something I would have doodle on my binder in like 6th grade):

 

I didn't really write down my foods like I was supposed to so epic fail on that but I'll start the week off right so here's today's:

 

Bfast - Veggie Blend (avacado, spinach, protein powder, almond milk)

Snack - Corn Chips

Lunch - Salad with Shredded Pork and Fresh Veggie Juice 

Dinner - Green Coconut Curry

Dessert -berries with chocolate

Awesome push-ups goal! 

 

I'm back from vacation and here to follow along.  

 

How're you progressing?

[Nnimn]

Yay for vacation. Hope you had fun! Nice to see your back.

 

I've not been as active I should be because I finally got a library card and that's just not a good thing for me since books are like my catnip but at least I've been eating well.

 

Here's yesterdays log:

 

Bfast -Pistachios 

Lunch -Chicken Sasuage + Kind Bar

Dinner -Chicken Lettuce wraps + Pineapple

Snack -Handful of Corn Chips

 

Ran/walked 2.5 miles pushing a stroller with my friends 18 month old boy. Every once in a while the 4 year old would jump on too.

3.5 minute plank

Turkish Get Ups 8 @ 20lbs per side

Goblet Squat 12*3 (20 lbs)

Triple Crushers 12*3 (20lbs)

Double, Clean, Squat to Press 12*3 (20lbs)

Kettleballs Swings 40/25/25 @ 20lbs

I seem to log most my miles between Thursday and Sunday so I will update tomorrow, which is also when I have one of my mudruns tomorrow so I'll be sure to post the aftermath! 

[Nnimn]

Okay food update:

 

Bfast - Leafy Veggie Smoothie

Lunch- Street Tacos

Snack- Pineapple +handful corn chips

Dinner -Chicken Sausage + soy yogurt w/ granola

[Nnimn]

Okay food for today:

 

Bfast - Veggie Smoothie

PostRace Snack- corn chips

Lunch - S.Potato Fries and Steak

Dinner - Small Hamburger + Hotdog and Kale Salad

 

Workout - Did a 4 mile obstacle run in an hour -net climbing, hurdles, rope climbing, etc plus TONS of mud. It was awesome and I will post pics once they are uploaded to the compute. My timing would have been better but some of the obstacles had looooooonnnnggg lines O-O But still, I definitely think this is the best motivation for me to stick to my fitness goals   I did end up really heat sick though so I will definitely go for an earlier way next time.  

 

I also got in another 1.5 miles this evening so I need about 7 more tomorrow. I love that I'm feeling sore today already... 

[NeverThatBored]

Your mileage is amazing! Especially with an obstacle run! That sounds like so much fun.

[Nnimn]

Thanks. It was lots of fun. I've got another coming up July 18th so I have to be ready. (this one is a 10k)

 

So recent activities:
