Being that I'm not bulking, a second dinner afterwards was not in the cards. Also, I am +4 over the weekend so I need to behave for a couple days. Yeah....I was up 2.6 lbs. Darn fajitas. (Cuz the chocolate eas definitely calorie free. That's my story and I'm sticking to it, anyway.) Was the cereal your entire dinner? 1 Quote ~Emerald_Dragonfly Level 13 Warrior Link to comment

The cereal I eat is the Kashi stuff so fairly healthy. It's light and carby so good before volleyball. I have a feeling a pound of chicken and a sweet potato would not sit as well. So about that leftover chocolate that we didn't take with us...... Leftovers go to the chickens, right? 2 Quote Intro Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 Link to comment

And after 20 minutes or so of discussing it's many button bleep bloop personality, it has been given a stupid name: BEHOLD! INSTIANA JONES! Please begin a slew of recipe suggestions and helpful tips! A brand new pinterest board has been created Meanwhile, today was an off day, 4.3 mi, half with a lighter grocery ruck. I was unprepared and a bit intimidated by Instiana, so I'm having a little party with some pumpkin spice protein pancakes...

RedStone Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 BENNNNCH DAAAAY!!!! Also falafel. And I should have gotten two... No, the platter. I should have gotten the big platter with rice and everything, and now I have to have dinner #2 cause one falafel wasn't enough. That's okay tho, it was awesome! Pretty simple day, warm up stuff as per, some weighted, mostly not. Bench felt good and solid, I don't think I've ever done volume so these are probably rep PRs at around 65%. Highlights included close grip bench (I've never done before), and chin ups! I did 3 on my own and had crazy grip problems, and did my sets assisted... Lou assisted! (LOU!) Bench 1X6 65# 3X10 70# Close Grip Bench 4X8 70# 1X3 Chin ups 3X7 Lou assisted chin ups (Basically gave my feet a platform with his Lou hands. He said it was just for kick off but felt WAY easier than unassisted, so ) 1 Arm Rows 1X10 16Kg 2X10 40# 2X25 Lat band pulls One of the gym dudes gave me a lift to main street and turns out he's from the same area of the city as me, then I got a few groceries and FALAFEL and Mr R picked me up on his way home. (He's under the weather and needed to go to the drug store, poor boy.) So I didn't have to hike home (thank glob, I'm so tired from beeeench), and now super chill time Self Love project: day getting close to the end pls and thank you: I am patient with difficult people, and even when I feel myself getting frustrated I don't loose my cool. I am able to make myself heard with a firm, but gentle voice, and don't resort to childish or passive aggressive, or flat out rude behavior. I am grateful for the people that I meet in my life that challenge my sensibilities and aforementioned reactions.

RedStone Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Wowsa, new challenge threads are already up? I love zero week as much as the next fell-oh, but that's too soon, even for me! (*manically commences googling for the progressions I want to follow next challenge.) So, not much to report today other than something awesome to report!!! Today is basically a rainy, at home rest day, complete with grand plans for self love stuff like dying my hair and doing a self mani-pedi. Also some light cleaning and just one load of laundry. No bigs. SOOOO... I wanted to get some studying in this morning first, and I finished off the chapter I was working on kinda quickly, so I reread all my notes, took a quiz, AND ACED IT!!!!! I've really been struggling with confidence about doing this certification (the depression and anxiety from my breakdownish/over training thing & failing this section twice before adapting my study technique), and I needed this win. I even wooted about it, it's such a big deal for me! Truly, this falls under one of those things that I was never very good at and assumed I am not capable of. But, employing the right techniques and just showing up and doing the work... the system works!!!! This feels like really good tidings for the end of this challenge, tho it's not totally the end. Lou tomorrow morning Things are hapenning. 5 Quote ~Peace Be The Journey~ one - two - three - four - five - six - seven- eight - nine - ten - eleven - twelve - thirteen - fourteen - fifteen - sixteen - seventeen - eighteen - nineteen - twenty - twenty one - twenty two - twenty three - twenty four - twenty five - twenty six - twenty seven - twenty eight - twenty nine - thirty - thirty one - thirty two - thirty three - thirty four - thirty five - thirty six Link to comment

RedStone Posted October 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Oops. Stayed up super late watching a reality show about steampunk designers making rooms for a crazy mansion with gadgets and costumes and the middle of the night and not enough sleep for my morning session with Lou. (Lou!) Woke up at my regular mid-range weight, but lowest belly measurement since I started hitting 1600 cals on the reg So I immediately drank half a gallon of water, 2 cups of coffee, and a full stack of protein pancakes to be charged for my session which turned out to be full body hyper. (I'm starting to see the pattern). It was super busy and I hope that trend of Saturdays continue because I plan on doing tues/Thurs/Sats going forward and would of course love to make some new friends! (He also has a private group on FB for adult members that i'm trying to be active on.) I was a zombie this morning, didn't write anything down. Here's what I remember: Warm up - shuffle stuff, skipping stuff, hip stuff etc 3X Circuit 10X25# plate Good Mornings 3X 1 legged broad jump (Stick the landing!) 10X Straight leg glute bridge (not sure how to call this...) 1X8 12kg one leg squats 2X8 16kg one leg squats 1X10 65# RDL 3X10 95# RDL 3X10 15# Shoulder press Superset 3X15 16kg KB High Pulls 3X10 20#DB Split Squats This is my last workout for the challenge, and I have no interest in recapping or summarizing the whirlwind that was my 5 week zero week of chaos LOL Lots of good and bad in the mix, and it's time to move forward... Yep, I am challenging with the Monks next go around, even tho I have a little trepidation about leaving the safety and security of my friends here... I'm starting to follow individuals and threads and all that stuff... hopefully won't be too alienating from my Warrior brothers and sisters!!! I WILL FIND YOUUUUU!!!!!!!! (Please find me??) 5 Quote ~Peace Be The Journey~ one - two - three - four - five - six - seven- eight - nine - ten - eleven - twelve - thirteen - fourteen - fifteen - sixteen - seventeen - eighteen - nineteen - twenty - twenty one - twenty two - twenty three - twenty four - twenty five - twenty six - twenty seven - twenty eight - twenty nine - thirty - thirty one - thirty two - thirty three - thirty four - thirty five - thirty six Link to comment
