Erick the Red Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Nice balance of goals between road work, lifting, and nutrition! I used MyFitnessPal in the past, and found it helped tremendously to avoid mindless eating. Are you following a particular weight lifting plan?

Are you following a particular weight lifting plan?Thanks Yes, unfortunately if I don't log I eat everything... and usually if I go slightly over I then think screw it and go way over!My lifting is generally pick up heavy things repeatedly!I tend to do three exercises and do 3x10 sets of those, those being from bicep curls, military press, bench press, dumbell rows and deadlifts. I don't follow any routine with them, bicep curl is usually standard and the rest whichever I feel like on the day :SSuggestions welcome!

Silmarilliane Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 This totally wasn't a duplicate post; I am far too tech savvy / cool for that kind of thing to happen to me... 1 Quote Level 24 Rogue Ranger Welcome to the Dungeons of Doom; locate the Amulet of Yendor ♀ on Level 26 Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 Link to comment
Silmarilliane Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 This separate points for calorie counting is really working. Ok, so it's a bit of a bitca* as it means I can't splurge, but that means it's working I've already started planning my next challenge. That's normal, right? *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjuJwNEjhV0 Quote Level 24 Rogue Ranger Welcome to the Dungeons of Doom; locate the Amulet of Yendor ♀ on Level 26 Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 Link to comment
Silmarilliane Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 So I think my point scoring was ok except the final scores. I got toward the end of the third week and realised the only way I could get above a 'D' was to get full points in everything else, which would have meant not enjoying a work leaving do. And so that led to Friday, yesterday and today being days of utter binge food-wise.HOWEVER, because I'm not going to be that down on myself and mark it as the EPIC FAIL the point scoring would have given, I'm going to award myself a C- and level up because of the following:- I did all the jogs every morning- I managed to fit in dumbbells three times a week despite being stupidly busy- the early days I went over calories I didn't stupidly over-binge (just these last three days...) I'll put a new challenge up but more just to keep myself in check rather than for a specific goal. Also super sorry I haven't been as supportive of my fellow doodlies as I should have been. I joined in the group challenge for the cronuts and hopefully got them some points, but I could have been there for them more chat-wise. Until tomorrow on the new boards.
