(who is Mr J?)

MM's man who's name starts with 'J'. It's a play off her Harley Quinn avatar and hobby of cosplaying in skimpy comic book character outfits in front of young STEM academics. Mr. J is the Joker in that context.

I feel like I should explain myself here, but I think I might just dig myself deeper.

So... Only 18,300 applications submitted to NASA's astronaut program of 2017. Good luck! I'll be reserving 80 kilos of your personal storage mass allotment. I am willing to cut down to that. It will be fun.

Sooooooo.... 

You're posting on Facebook, you're posting on other people's challenges....

 

What's the deal with yours?

[Sam Ashen]

Theory:  We replaced he 6WC with a 4-week format, but strung them together.  So we are really on Week 7 of what is now an 8WC.  The original idea was to reduce the fatigue that sets in around Week 5.

 

Given the weather outside, we cannot add winter blahs.  But we CAN add Cabin Fever.  (It is really nice outside.)

 

Also work blahs.

We've moved past green and heading into black and blue

Ow, battle scar!

Ugh... well... I didn't get mine in. So you'll have to ask Wovercast :[ I'm already feeling bad enough about it so let's not linger.

Can there be more hours in a day? Is that possible?

It's easier to catch up on other people's threads and type a few sentences than the insurmountable week and a half barrage of updates I have coming.

 

Ow, battle scar!

Ow indeed. It's in the itchy stage

[Sam Ashen]

Ow indeed. It's in the itchy stage

 

Is it high enough you can scratch it with the bar doing deadlifts?

[miss_marissa]

Is it high enough you can scratch it with the bar doing deadlifts?

No, it's below that

I wasn't sure if you were suggesting that as an option to relieve itchiness or not lol

[Drazen]

just do your Virtual comp lifts and start over from there

Been struggling with the balance between being obsessive in my planning and counting, and eating reasonably without planning/counting. It’s been a chronic undereating on days which I’m not counting; with seriously low protein numbers. Any suggestions for balance would be greatly appreciated. I’m seriously struggling with this.

 

Valentines day is high with shit macros (treat yo self), but not as high as I would have thought. The previous day is REALLY high due to being in Milwaukee for the day and burning through my snacks like nobody’s business and then still being hungry enough to eat 2 jimmy johns for lunch, culvers as a snack on the way home and chicken and waffles for dinner. Th 2/11 thru w 2/17 were crazy days at work (our experiment shipped out Wednesday) so I didn’t make time for lunches those days and just shoved protein bars down my throat.

 

If we throw out 2/19, the average is 2063 cals. Which I think is pretty low. Should be averaging 2400+ on workout days and ~1800 on rest days. Although my average is in that range, it’s high due to a few outliers. And a lot of the food is not the most nutritious effort either. Ughhhh stresssssss eating, STAAAAAP. Also, notice shitty eating patterns on weekends. I have some ideas for next challenge period.

 

2) GET BIG

I’ve missed 3 days on this so far. 2/13, 2/14 and 2/19. I haven’t really noticed much of a difference, but I’m not sure how long it takes to get to the saturation point either.

 

3) But don't get too fat

I wasn’t able to walk at all the week of 2/8-2/12. I was driving back and forth between buildings getting the experiment ready. I did walk 2/18. I was planning on walking 2/19 as well as it was warm (high 40s) but winds were 25 mph with higher gusts and that just didn’t seem pleasant to walk in. It probably wouldn’t have been that bad, but I’m a pansy I guess.

 

Life Goals for this year will be COMPOUNDING as appropriate. With that being said.

 

1) Don't be a hoodrat

Haven’t missed a single day of this! My skin has been kind of broken out (stress + stress eating?) So I’ve been keeping it minimal with just mascara.

 

2) Don't be a slob

A few friends have inquired about the chairs and my brother has asked for the old TV. 1 box was unpacked, only a few left.

 

Things to note:

·         Food needs work. I’m really trying to not be disordered about this, but it’s not doing me any good. I wish there was a way to eat when I’m hungry, stop when I’m full and hit perfect macros?

·         On that note, I was discussing with a trainer (/nutrition coach) at the gym about my problem and he asked why I track in the first place since I don’t have physique goals. His theory is, that for strength does it really matter because the bar will tell me how I’m doing. For nutrition unless you are precise, there are so many factors at play that tracking doesn’t really make a difference unless you are rigid in your eating (which I’m trying NOT to be). I don’t think I expressed that well here, but I’m not sure how to feel. I think there is validity in tracking whether I’m eating “perfect†or not

·         Saturday 2-13 sorority event in Milwaukee (at which I volunteered). Makes me realize how much of a lifestyle change I have actually made the past two years. We had jimmy johns subs for lunch (which I devoured), with chips, rice krispie treats, candy and soda. Overheard some of the girls saying they’re glad that it is a healthy lunch. And I’m just like really? Because my stomach will hate me later (it did).

·         Valentines day was a nice date to see Deadpool (love) and Qdoba. Then some relaxing at home. <3

·         Experiment shipped out! Woo hoo!!! So that was a boatload of stress gone, but then add the stress from the work stuff I had been neglecting the previous week. URghhh.

·         Wednesday evening I went for drinks with an old friend from high school who lives in town. It was great to catch up with him, I haven’t seen him probably since high school (maybe a year or so after). We used to get hot chocolate and chat before, now it is booze.

·         It is hard to make friends in a new city without wanting to do the whole “lets go get dinner and/or drinks†thing. I need to work up the confidence to ask people “hey would you just wanna lay around my apartment and watch Netflix together?â€

·         Started binge watching the Flash. I’m enjoying it so far. There is a lot of cross over with Arrow and I’ve not watched that yet. I was debating between the two and decided since there is only one season of the Flash, I would watch that first and then watch the 3 (4?) seasons of Arrow. I should have started with Arrow.

·         I guess I’ve been supposed to be pulling sumo this whole time too…. Oops.

Me and my experiment in its shipping crate

Ceviche tostadas for lunch one day

My first attempt at nerd fitness paleo spaghetti (note, not paleo, just used spaghetti squash )

Selfie on a cold day

[Tanktimus the Encourager]

I'm assuming that big red button on the experiment makes shit blow up.  Don't correct me if I'm wrong, let me have this. I fully support the cold day selfie showing your entire face.

Can't be. Everyone knows that to travel through time you need a prominently displayed flux capacitor...

 

 

Whatever it is, I can only give it a B+. There are too few blinking lights.

Its also not plugged in. There are a reasonable amount of blinking lights.

There are also 5 go pros and a package of adult diapers.

RIGHT?

 

       On that note, I was discussing with a trainer (/nutrition coach) at the gym about my problem and he asked why I track in the first place since I don’t have physique goals.

I don’t think I expressed that well here, but I’m not sure how to feel. I think there is validity in tracking whether I’m eating “perfect†or not

I get what he is saying but I think tracking can have a function beyond just attaining physique goals. The bar kind of just gives you a YES or a NO -- did I get the lift? do I feel ok? am I really tired? -- whereas having the tracked intake to look back at can give you more of a nuanced solution beyond "HM, I SHOULD PROBABLY EAT MORE." Plus, you sound like you have problems eating enough in general, so having something in your face going "ding! ding! ding! you need to eat more!" may help encourage you to actually do so?

 

I dunno. I get what he is saying -- you could stop tracking and probably be fine as long as you listened to your  body and DID eat more or tweak your macro intake when your lifts fail or falter -- but is that the best solution for you? Ehhh, maybe not?

 

Yay for shipping out that big work project guy... thing... with a giant button... *stares*
