Iceburner #3: There and back again...

[Iceburner]

Pheww, I'm a bit late, but still want to be part of this. Since I strayed from the road to awesomeness in my last challenge, then skipped the next challenge, I am back to basics:

 

Main Quest: "There and back again..."

Goal: Continue to follow the path to a healthy lifestyle following the advice of the ones who did this before

Description: It is most important for me right now to get back to a regular workout schedule, to log my food again and get that 1 Pull-up done.

This Quest is fulfilled if all three main missions have been successful (at least B rating ) .

Reward: TBD

 

Mission 1: "Let's hunt some Orc..."

Goal: Continue with 2-3 scheduled workout per week (total 17) and reach Lv. 3 of the Bodyweight Brigade path

Description: I think I found a good rhythm in my workout Schedule which means I train 2-3 times per week (this week 2, next week 3 times). Already I get used to the stress put on my body by the exercises, except for push-ups and inverted rows, where I have to choose easier variants. But the important thing is that I  already see progress, which motivates me and makes me confident that I can reach Lv. 3.

Ratings:

A - Trained hard for 17 workouts, Reached Lv. 3

B - Trained hard for 15 workouts, Reached Lv. 2

C - Trained hard in 12 workouts, Reached Lv. 2

D - Trained for 8 workouts, Reached Lv. 1

Reward: TBD

Summary week 1:
 
Since I won't have time tomorrow to write an update, let me summarize this week already now:
 
I started late into this challenge, but nonetheless kept my schedule:
 
- On Wednesday and Friday I had my workouts for this week and now have a break until Monday. Thus I am on track for goal 1 and 3.
 
- I was thorough with my food log, keeping track every day. Full points for goal 2.

Also: Thanks to starsapart for asigning me quickly to the Human Assassin Group.
 
I joined the Mini-Challenge 1 on Wednesday and since I have to walk quite a lot to and from work, I managed an average of about 4-5 km. Additionally I had a nice walk with my wife on Friday that got me another 3 km or so. Here are the detailed numbers:
 
Wednesday: 4.78 km
Thursday: 4.58 km
Friday: 8.02 km

Sum so far: 18,38 km

I have a busy day today and tomorrow, but I am positive that I will do some more km. Go, Humans!

 

 

[edit:]

Saturday: 2.63 km

Sum so far: 21.01 km

 

[another edit]

Sunday: 3.56 km

Final total: 24.57 km

Summary week 2 and midweek report week 3:
 
Oh no, I'm so behind schedule. Last week (w2) I just trained once and this week (w3) not at all so far. Doesn't look good for mission 1 and 3. I have to get better and finish week 3 strong.
 
On the other hand I did well on mission 2 (tracked my food with discipline) and also contributed everyday on Mini #2. That got me at least some workout.

 

I'm not 100% content with the food quality I eat the last days. Way to much carbs for my taste. Partly my fault, partly fault of my spaghetti and pizza loving friends. I guess my fault for having them Just kidding, I still like them. And a few months ago my diet looked the same and I would have been completely happy. Anyway, it's not part of my goals.

 

Another thing that's not part of my goals is that I managed to get myself a new job in January. So that means I'll have more time now for training instead of preparing for interviews...

Week 3 report:

Ok, at the end of the week I managed to get 2 workouts in. One of them was a double Yoga session for the Mini #3. I'm not completely happy, since I didn't train for my pull-up in either workout. At least the food logging works well.

[Iceburner]

Week 4 report:

The week started well with a workout and participation in Mini #4. Nonetheless I got lazy in the end and had a relaxing weekend with minor regrets. Minor, because this was the first really relaxing weekend for quite some time, without any things-that-had-to-be-done whatsoever. Regrets, because there are always things that need to be done, but I decided not to. I take full responsibility.

Week 5 report:

I nearly missed the Mini #5, but managed to throw in some bear crawls and leg lifts, before it closed.

I participated but was not really motivated for the Mini Challenge Extension.

I completely lazed around my workout goals, so no progress there. Goal 3 seems completely our of reach and for Goal 1 I really have to make an effort now.

Let's end this post with something positive: My food logging is going really well.

Nothing special during the last week:

 

I did 1 workout, no pull ups, logged my food well and participated in mini #6
