Y-Not Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Well yesterday was sucky. I just felt blah all day. Layed in bed for a few hours in the afternoon instead of doing my biking, and this was AFTER not finishing my angry birds in the morning. I was in the middle of an online chat with an old friend when I decided to do my workout. I do it right next to my PC so I figured I could make it work while chatting in rests between sets. Well, he convinced me to start a new (well, actually really old) online game with him, so I did. I told myself I was doing it as a favor for him. Turns out, I didn't like the game at all (or even have a clue what I was doing) and I didn't end up finishing my workout. I left Planks just waiting to be done! I did one after my biking today, but I'll leave it at that because sometime in the night I'll need to get my angry birds for tomorrow done. Had swimming lessons with Mara-Jade this morning. She's starting to do so good and get braver at them. The last set she did with her mom who is a bit afraid of water, so doing them with me instead is really helping. I love the water and swimming. I really should do more of it. BikingThe Flash. Welcome to Earth-2. I really liked this episode, something about doppelgangers and alternate personalities intrigues me.42 Minutes16.33 KM I finally broke 16!!! I tried to push to 23km/h as much as I could. I dipped down to 21 and as low as 18 at least once, but I kept pushing. Maybe the day off helped? Still not happy about how yesterday played out. 1 Quote Battle Log | Epic Quest | Challenge Link to comment
Y-Not Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Angry Birds at 3am. Yay? I seriously thought about skipping this. I was nodding off before mid night even hit, but after grabbing some grub and watching some tube for a few hours I summoned the energy to give it a shot. Did not bad either. If I do say so myself. 1 Quote Battle Log | Epic Quest | Challenge Link to comment
Y-Not Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Short work week. Just 2 days. So it's over. I made it through another one. Not supposed to bike today, but I did anyways since I'm not working. Biking, The boringest episode on Star Trek: TNG, 44 minutes17.4 KM! Pretty happy with that. Especially since it was on 24 hours with no sleep. I love my work schedule... 1 Quote Battle Log | Epic Quest | Challenge Link to comment

Y-Not Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Angry Birds this morning Blah! I didn't 3 star any, but I worked hard and did more than on any previous days. That's a win in my book. 1 Quote Battle Log | Epic Quest | Challenge Link to comment

Y-Not Posted February 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Stationary Bike: Legends of Tomorrow42 minutes16.71 km A bit sad that I didn't get to 17 again, but after 90 squats this morning my legs weren't nearly as fresh as they were yesterday. My job is physical, but mostly walking with some lifting. Just don't need to lift from low very often so my legs don't get too wore out. Anyway, I'm happy with 16 km+ for now. And I'm thinking about switching my biking up to a sort of HITT type thing. Not sure yet. 1 Quote Battle Log | Epic Quest | Challenge Link to comment
leglocker Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Keep it up, brother! I noticed that you've mentioned the uncomfortable bike seat. Have you ever thought of maybe purchasing an after market bike seat? I did a quick Google search and saw some for around 20 bucks. 1 Quote | Battle Log |Current Challenge: Better Late Than Never| Previous Challenges: 1 | instagram: @gambitbjj | Winner of the Harry Potter PVP Challenge: House Ravenclaw Link to comment
Y-Not Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I did think about it. That's as far as I got though. I should look more. It seems like it had a really odd way of connecting. Nothing is similar to a regular bike. Sent from a Rebel CommLink 1 Quote Battle Log | Epic Quest | Challenge Link to comment
Y-Not Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I did stuff today. It'll be in my challenge thread since I didn't update earlier. Well, I biked. 1 Quote Battle Log | Epic Quest | Challenge Link to comment
Y-Not Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 One step forward, two back? I guess it was two forward... But I'm really not happy with those Planks. On the first set, my QUADS gave out first? wth? Although they've been sore for the last few days. 1 Quote Battle Log | Epic Quest | Challenge Link to comment
Jothra Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 You do use them pretty hard when you're biking, too. 1 Quote Jothra i | ii | iii | iv | v | vi | vii | viii Link to comment
Y-Not Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yup. Between Angry Birds squats and biking I'm murdering my poor quads. Whelp, off to bike! 🚲 lolSent from a Rebel CommLink 1 Quote Battle Log | Epic Quest | Challenge Link to comment
Y-Not Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Stationary BikeThe Flash41 Minutes15.87 KM Sure, not as far as the last few days. I knew I wouldn't be. Or maybe I wasn't as fast BECAUSE I knew I wouldn't be. Either way. THE QUADS. They're done. And I'm OK with that. Some time in the pool tomorrow will be nice. Maybe I'll even get to spend a few minutes in the Hot Tub. Maybe. Nope, I can't beat Olly. Something to strive for. 1 Quote Battle Log | Epic Quest | Challenge Link to comment
Y-Not Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I biked today, as I'm supposed to, but it was hard. My sister and her two kids have been visiting all week. One the one hand, my sister is currently doing 21 day fix (which means she's eating really clean and working out daily) so she's been helping with motivation. Plus she's a lot heavier than me, and seeing her reminds me that mom is even heavier and has a slew of health issues relating to her weight... I'm MAINLY doing this to be healthy, and live a long time, to see my daughter (soon to become plural) grow up and become women, and hopefully break the unhealthy cycle running in my family (and to look damn good nekkid). On the other hand, this has disrupted our regular routine. Plus her kids are kinda terrible. But back to the routine. My wife decided we should go out for Chinese after Mara-Jade's swimming lessons today. I reluctantly agreed for a few reasons. 1) She loves chinese, hasn't had it for a long time AND SHE'S PREGNANT! 2) In the past I've often been so focused on my diet, so regulated and disciplined that eventually I just snap. I do what Steve often talks about NOT doing. I slip up once (like maybe having two huge plates at a Chinese Buffett) and then I decide that the week's blown already so I'm gonna go buy a family size bag of Fuzzy Peaches, Sour Patch Kids and Cherry Blasters, plus an Xtra Large Slurpee and make a night of it. I need to find balance more. So I had my two plates of Chinese (and two small scoops of ice cream) then I ate a bit lighter at supper. Came in over my calories, but not by huge amounts. As I said though, biking was hard. I bike after lunch. Lunch was two large plates of deep fried Chinese greasiness. My gut hurt before I sat on the amply cushioned yet still strangely uncomfortable saddle. I felt like I was biking through quicksand. But I pushed my self as hard as I could. 42 MinutesArrow16.91km 1 Quote Battle Log | Epic Quest | Challenge Link to comment

Y-Not Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Middle of the night bike ride. Apparently I hate myself. I turned off the lights so I couldn't see my speed and ride at a more comfortable pace.

Y-Not Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Kind of a weird day for Angry Birds. I had an appointment in the afternoon and Monday I sleep for a few hours in the morning after finishing up my night shift, so I decided to knock my squats out of the way after work and before bed so that I wouldn't have as much to do after my appointment. my intention was to get the rest of my Angry Birds AND my Biking done while Mara-Jade napped, but it didn't work out that way. I'll need to bike after she goes to bed now. Which is too bad because I'd like to be going to bed then... I'm going to go and update my Challenge post for the weekend and maybe talk a bit about how week 3 went. 1 Quote Battle Log | Epic Quest | Challenge Link to comment

Y-Not Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 I went to the gym today. At 7am. Now granted, that's not really morning for me, but rather it's close to my normal bedtime. I do enjoy the gym. I don't know why I quit going. I like lifting weights more than I do body weight work. But I really like the IDEA of body weight. Only using my body, functional strength, learning to move myself and be ready for different situations. The idea, is good. But I realized this morning that I just like pumping iron dammit! Barbell Deadlift 118.99 Set 1 : 65.0x12Set 2 : 75.0x12Set 3 : 85.0x12 Chin Up 1 Set 1 : 1.0x1 Reverse Grip Lat Pull Down 126.66 Set 1 : 100.0x7Set 2 : 100.0x8Set 3 : 100.0x8 Dumbbell Alternate Hammer Curl 35 Set 1 : 25.0x7Set 2 : 25.0x6Set 3 : 25.0x5 Barbell Curl 62.99 Set 1 : 45.0x5Set 2 : 45.0x5Set 3 : 45.0x5 I can't do chin ups. I tried, I really really did. I added in the Lat Pull Down in the hopes of working toward chin/pull ups. I didn't really know where to go with weights so I guessed. I can go up on Deadlift for sure. Hammer Curl I'll stay. Same with Barbell Curl. Lat Pull Down I will stay but I think I can increase my reps on it. Only problem is that I really should be going to bed now, but I'm a little too pumped up. 1 Quote Battle Log | Epic Quest | Challenge Link to comment

Y-Not Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Angry Birds this morning. Finally cracked 3 minutes of plank in 2 sets. Kinda wish I hadn't knowing I need to do 4 minutes of it now! I had hoped that more rest between doing AB and other workouts in between would help my numbers somehow, but I was wrong. That's OK, It's more here as a stop gap mid week so I don't loose gym gainz. Or something like that. Biked this afternoon. Really pushed it. Will my Quads EVER not hurt again?44 MinutesSupergirl: Fortress of Whaaaaa?18.59 km (NEW PR)I hate my legs. And they hate me back. 2 Quote Battle Log | Epic Quest | Challenge Link to comment
