Einar Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Last month didn't go so well, I let timer get away from me and ended up doing very little to further my goals. Near the end of last challenge I decided to treat my challenge like a 12 round fight, me versus my shadow. Last round went to my shadow, but it was just a warm up. Time to embrace my inner Rocky and turn this fight around. I'm prepping to move, even though I'm not sure when, so my heavy bag has been taken down and my gym membership is canceled. Train Like ThorTime to train like Rocky in Russia. I'm going to do a strength training workout 4-6 days a week. Most of it will be bodyweight work. Depending on the weather (they're calling for more snow and ice this week) I will try to get outside and use my jump rope and do some sand bag work. Eat like an EinherjarLast challenge I did well maybe 70% of the time on my nutrition. This challenge I am aiming to up that to 90-95% of the time. I won't eat anything I haven't prepared at least 6/7 times a week and will choose the healthiest option the times I deviate from preparing my own food.Knowledge of MimirSome of the Doodlies are working on the Khan academy course "Crash Course: World History" I will continue with this course but as it is short and covers a lot of history in small videos I will spend at least an hour a day either on this course, checking out other courses, or reading books/articles that in some way improve my knowledge Monday through Friday, on weekends I will either strive to learn more knowledge or I will try to learn/re-learn physical skills that I have let grow rusty as I got caught up in life. 9 Quote A true warrior does not train tirelessly to fight, or to kill.

Einar Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 This week for my weekend skill development I decided I'm going to revist my least favorite Boy Scout skill, knots. They are useful for many different situations but they weren't as exciting as starting fire for example so I always drug my feet and haven't done much to keep or improve my skills. 1 Quote A true warrior does not train tirelessly to fight, or to kill.

Einar Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Mid Week Update So far this week I have done 1 strength workout:20 Squats20 Push Ups20 Vertical Jumps5 Inverted rows (scaled down from pull ups)20 Lunges15 Close Grip Push Ups I have eaten nothing I haven't cooked, Monday it was difficult avoiding pizza when I stopped at a gas station but I wasn't willing to give up so easily. I'm keeping things simple with chicken and veggies for now although I had some left over venison burgers for lunch Monday. I still need to do something knowledge based today. Monday I watched the videos on Khan for the Doodlie University and Tuesday I watched videos on Before 1300: Ancient and Medieval History. Also rewatched the trailer for Range 15 and the behind the scenes sneak preview that was just released. I don't think I've ever been this excited for a movie. It's by veterans for veterans. 7 Quote A true warrior does not train tirelessly to fight, or to kill. A true warrior trains endlessly that he may return home alive. -R.

Einar Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Good that you are excited for the movie it sounds really amazing!It's was made by two Veteran run companies that were tired of soldiers and Vets being portrayed as dour and humorless. A big draw of this movie is that it was written full of military humor. There is only a few actors in the movie, most of the characters are Vets a lot of them wounded Vets. Dakota Meyer, Clint Romesha, and Leroy Petry are all Medal of Honor Recipients that are in the movie.Range 15 IMDB pageTrailer 1 Quote A true warrior does not train tirelessly to fight, or to kill.

Snarkyfishguts Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Following along! I love the internal struggle and emerging victorious!! I'm cheering for you to win! Well, the healthy you, since both sides are you. snarky looks around in confusion for a moment, as if her mind teleported elsewhere.. she looks back to the computer after several minutes, realizing she forgot the rest of her response to the epic Doc challenge. She holds her imaginary pompoms up and cheers enthusiastically. YAY!!!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment
