Back in France, and the only thing I did was the energy work. Oh, and coffee for brekkie! It's the holidays!

Merry Xmas everyone!

It's hard not to completely let go here, in the land of best patisserie in the world! I'm managing to keep away, and have allocated cheese to only one meal per day ( dinner). I brought my 90% cocoa chocolate bar to have as dessert after lunch, but amongst the tonnes of chocolates my MIL has prepared there's a pack of dark choc medallions with nuts, and I like them! They're only 70%, though, and therefore rather moreish...

Am walking a lot, resting and meditating. Stretching too, but otherwise no physical activity at all. I might try some planks before bed, as I did here in the summer. Even some bodyweight squats - I feel so lazy at the moment, however, as if I deserve a good rest. The point is, movement is life, and that's the one thing I shouldn't be lazy about!

Started a new challenge here:

 

Vibrantella's Cocooning Challenge

[Vibrantella]

And a new one, number 7:

 

VIbrantella Gets Strong

 

Should really be using this log more!

[Vibrantella]

Thought I should record my Stronglifts in detail here, rather than on my challenge thread.

 

Today was Routine B

 

Squat warm ups: 20 kg x 5 reps x 2 sets

 

Squats:  55 kg x 5 reps x 5 sets

 

Overhead press - no warm up

 

OHP: 22.5 kg x 5 reps x 5 sets

 

Deadlift warm ups: 25 kg x 5 reps x 2 sets

 

Deadlift: 60 kg x 5 reps x 1 set

 

I held strong throughout; it was hard (just unracking the loaded bar for the squat was hard!) but I did it!  Yay!

 

 

[Vibrantella]

I did the same routine yesterday, and here's how:

 

Squats - I deloaded to 50 kg 5x5 (plus w/u 2x5 @ 20kg, 1x5 @ 30jg)

 

OHP - 25 kg 5x5, (w/u was 20 kg 1x5)

tat

Deadlifts - 70 kg 1x5 (w/u was 30 kg 1x5)

What did I learn today?  What challenged me to grow and how? :  Learning a new song and fitting in with others

What behaviour would I like to upgrade?  What else can I create? :  More walking; there's some building work that blocked a path I was planning to take, so I had to take the tube instead

What did I do really well today?  What strengths did I use? :  Bench press was especially strong

[Vibrantella]

Hm, maybe I should set goals/tasks for the weekend too, otherwise I just chill.  Which is not such a terrible thing, though, considering tiredness and recovery.

Hm, slightly fallen off the wagon regarding food in the last couple of days.  Not the quality (still LCHF) but the quantity - which means that the proteins were too high for effective keto.  Or were they?  A bit of a mess, but I'll keep pushing through, as in my new challenge
