SevenofSeven Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 The weather is cooling down in the evenings so the mice have decided to move back inside. So now my kitchen needs to be torn apart, washed and put back together.I am feeling a little overwhelmed, cooking, cleaning, washing, schooling, working looking after 7 capable people and getting pretty much fuck all help.I reckon it was easier looking after my family when they were small because that was my job, the only expectation was for them to clean up their toys, but now that everyone is bigger and the expectation is that they can help clean up, but they don't is doing my head in. They are capable of doing stuff around the house but they just don't and I am so sick and tired of arguing with them about. It.I'm just tired. Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Well that was a way interesting afternoon, went to pick up Son4 from the neighbouring town but was unable to get there due to the massive fire raging close to the road. Managed to take the dodgy back tracks and get him, but it was scary as hell!Home safe now but totally fried! Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted February 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 So even though my motivation was up and we started out the week strong, the fact that Roly has one of his mates staying in my shed, we have been unable to lift.Another fight with one of the twins, he is such an arsehole at times and I am totally confused about how to deal with him.

SevenofSeven Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Last night 28/02/2915Stronglifts:Warm upSquat:1x10@20kg1x5@30kg5x5@55kgBench:1x5@27.5kg5x5@37.5kgAll paused on the chest, just to try it out. Close grip and working on not flaring arms out too much.Bent Over Row:5x5@37.5kgIce-Cream:Barbell Shrugs:3x8@20kgTricep Extensions:3x8@20kgCurls:3x8@15kgHyperextensions:2x10 on swiss ballCable Crunches:2x10@20kgFelt like I cheated a bit because I was pulled back onto the back rest and was able to brace against it. Still got a sweat going though.Felt really good doing this.One of my sons said he didn't want to do his 5x5 anymore because it was boring. I had a look at his workout book and saw that he wasn't increasing his lifts, he had got himself stuck on the same weights for three or four workouts! So last night we said let's PR this with Deadlifts and see what you can do, he went from a 25kg to a 50kg...........he was awesome! Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 No, just the weight I put on the bar. Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
Mr_Willes Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Okay thats even more cool. Do you know how much your bar weighs? For the record i always record the total amount of KG (bar with plates). Quote ... a little odd in the head ... Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I think it's about 15 kg, not too drastic and not quite olympic. Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment

shaeon Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hey there Seven! Following to check in on how it's going, since I got the recommendation for my lifting workout from you. Are you doing challenges? Or do you just stick to your battle log?

SevenofSeven Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Stronglifts:Warm Up:Various BW exercises and stuff.Squat:1x10@BW1x10@bar, which we weighted tonight and it is 12.5kg, so not heavy at all.1x10@20kg1x5@40kg5x5@60kgBench:5x5@40kgBent Over Row:5x5@40kgIce-Cream:Barbell Shrugs:3x8@20kgTricep Extensions:3x8@20kgCurls:1x8@15kg2x8@20kgHyperextensions on Swiss Ball:3x10Cable Crunches:3x10@20kgSo we are lifting and not counting the weight of the bar, just the weight of the plates. Although my son thought we should add in the bar....I just need to keep it simple.Just keeping a Battle Log until I have more time to think of some excellent goals for another Challenge.I will admit though I have been struggling lately, and tonight everything seems so overwhelming, and my partner is shitty at me because as usual everything is about him, he cannot see that I am really trying to function at a normal level but seem to be failing. His exact sentence stater tonight, " Don't think you're the only one struggling with depression, blah, blah, blah" Anyway too much in my own head space right now to probably make much sense so, I'll leave it there.

Mr_Willes Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I think you're son is right, everybody else adds the weight of the bar, that way you know exactly what effort you made. Just my 2 Quote ... a little odd in the head ... Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 The past couple of nights I have taken Valerian Forte to help me sleep, I was kinda sceptical at first but it has worked a treat. I have slept through both nights without waking up and being restless. It is the first time in what seems like years I have woken up and not felt fatigued.A good nights sleep is the best thing EVER! 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Got into camp and it was raining. Sookie Scouts means no more than 4 hours sleep. Still raining today, I feel like lifting to lighten my mood but no access to anything, even BW exercises are out due to lack of room. Everywhere I turn, Scout or Leader.Not to mention some creepy dude keeps trying to talk to me. I know him from another town's Scout Group but he is totally inappropriate and just plain creepy.I'm hiding in my bus for a few minutes to try and get my head right. I feel like drinking a coca cola. Man this must be bad! Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
Leimanu Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 There are times where you try your best, but fitness just won't happen. You may not want to be around people when you feel like this (solace is my go-to), but when there's a creeper, stick yourself right in the middle of a crowd. Human buffer. Those idiots never get the gentle hint. Girl, you lift big! I'm totally jealous of your bench! Count the bar. 2 Quote <--<< Daughter of Artemis >>--> Link to comment
