Kishi Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 It has worked out okay! May want to work on sizing the logo a bit so it doesn't obscure the top links on the landing/homepage, but the design itself looks really sound. If I ever get a divorce in Springfield, I'll look you up. 1 Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to comment

Then I'll switch to knees so I can crank them out and get it over with. Quote Level 20 Ranger Monk Str- 18, Dex-12, Sta-10, Con-23, Wis-88, Cha-47 "Not all who wander are lost."

Oooh - yeah I saw you did some full but wasn't sure if you were doing a combo of full and negatives and knee or just going from full straight back to knees.

ladylydia Posted February 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Ok, new week, new six (seven) week challenge. I saw someone post the other day that 90% of a mediocre plan, is better than 60% of an amazing plan. So, in the interest of building consistency, I've decided to take baby steps for this challenge, and just barely increase the intensity. (Feb 11th- March 31st) Daily: 15 tricep extensions, 15 push ups (30 if from knees) 25 squats 25 side leg lifts, each side Stretching/Yoga 7 glasses of water. Sun. Tues. Thurs--cardio: 1 1/2 mile walk, or 20 min interval training, or 15-20 min. circuit training, or 12 min. tabata. (being flexible here). Mon. Wed. Fri: Resistance Second set of dailies 12-20 min. of core work. 1 Quote Level 20 Ranger Monk Str- 18, Dex-12, Sta-10, Con-23, Wis-88, Cha-47 "Not all who wander are lost."

ladylydia Posted February 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 I am sick of my own laziness and half-@$$ing this fitness thing! My breathing was elevated just walking around the store today! Yesterday I found I couldn't hold notes for half as long as I used to because I've lost my lung capacity. This has become absolutely ridiculous. This afternoon, I found myself looking at articles for how to get quick results on cardio; and it was like a bomb went off in my head: I don't need to keep researching tips, I know how to do this. I have been researching health and fitness for over ten years, at this point. I have made big mistakes and had big successes. At one point I lost over a 125 pounds, and was deadlifting above my body weight. I was trail-running a 5k every night, and did 1000 burpees in a single week. The fact that I've swung so far back in the other direction, losing all of that ground is infuriating. Enough is enough! I'm scrapping the previous plan, 1. six weeks cardio and resistance 3-4 times a week. 2. drink lots of water, 3. treat my health seriously. i'm not going to bother with some sort of complicated tracking system, I don't get a gold star when I get a certain number of points for the week, or technically complete a task a certain way. I get to breathe easier, I get to reclaim my strength and endurance, I get to have pictures taken of me without worrying about how a particular angle will make me look, and I get to fit into clothes that I loved and wore only a couple years ago. I am done babying myself. I know how to take care of my body, so it's just going to get done. No excuses. Warm up: 20 tricep extensions 15 single side extensions, each side 15 squats, 15 side leg lifts each side 4 min. dumbbell swings 4 min. 50 sec. each: crunches- 20, Side v-crunches L- 10, Side v-crunches R- 14 ab raises- 10 4 min. dumbbell swings 4 min. 500 sec. each pushups, from knees-17 leg raises R- 31 tricep dips- 4 leg raises L- 19 . 3 Quote Level 20 Ranger Monk Str- 18, Dex-12, Sta-10, Con-23, Wis-88, Cha-47 "Not all who wander are lost."

ladylydia Posted February 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 A bit sore today, but not so sore that I'm in any sort of pain. So yesterday I did the right intensity for the first time in three years. Active recovery day: Yoga. 2 Quote Level 20 Ranger Monk Str- 18, Dex-12, Sta-10, Con-23, Wis-88, Cha-47 "Not all who wander are lost." "We Shall Not Practice Fear" Current Battlelog Link to comment
