Ambassadoring: nope Sunday: Workouts Nope, not even joined the guys on the hike, as i wanted to play some board games with my niece and a friend. Eating: Not too bad when i think of it, dinner wasn't the healthiest, but since i was out of bed quite late i skipped lunch. Drinking: Just one beer cause i felt like it.

Mr_Willes Posted November 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 @iatetheyeti inspired me (even more than usual) today: On 20-11-2017 at 10:38 PM, iatetheyeti said: This is not fun. This is not ending the year in a blaze of glory. This is the hard work that needs to be put in, and long overdue hard work at that. There are no more excuses to hide behind. So from today untill the end of 2017 i'm gonna sneak in an extra 100 reps of a exercise a day. Which should result in doing an extra 4000 reps by the end of the year. Today i'm aiming for 100 decline pushups, i already did 30 today and will mix some in with the workout tonight. 4 Quote ... a little odd in the head ... Link to comment

So i rolled with it (some sort of IF) but i was so very hungry all this morning that i ate a lot at lunch. But still overall not too bad. Next time i need to add a little to breakfast.

Eish, all the best, it is really difficult. I really hate seeing someone. That's the very last resort. It feels better today, so i think i will have lost it in a couple of days. Just gonna be careful the next couple of days. I'm also in somewhat of a hole. I'm on the edge of getting a cold, feeling lethargic and sniffing and sneezing a lot. It's been 2 weeks since i last lifted at home. Somehow schedule is not working with me and if i don't make a big effort i can't make any CF lessons this week. So i feel like i'm losing grip on the workouts. I need to make a change. Tonight nothing is holding me back. So i'm gonna go in and do Lifting workout at home, and i',m gonna arrange for a CF lesson tomorrow. Somehow i will make this work. Next to that, i told the boys i would be hibernating for some time, but i just need to stop whining and get my butt in line. Don't talk, act! So next report has to be one of reporting in what i did on the workout! 4 Quote ... a little odd in the head ... Link to comment
Mr_Willes Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 As promised, the first lifting workout in 2 weeks, combined with some Mountainclimbers for the mini: Squat: 50 mountainclimbers 8 @ 86 kg 50 mountainclimbers 8 @ 86 kg 50 mountainclimbers 8 @ 86 kg 50 mountainclimbers 8 @ 86 kg 50 mountainclimbers 8 @ 86 kg 50 mountainclimbers Benchpress: 50 mountainclimbers 8 @ 52 kg 50 mountainclimbers 8 @ 52 kg 50 mountainclimbers 8 @ 52 kg 50 mountainclimbers 8 @ 52 kg 50 mountainclimbers 8 @ 52 kg 50 mountainclimbers At first i thought i would have done some Deadlifts after this, but i was quite tired, and it was getting a bit late, and with all the mountainclimbers in between i felt i did enough, especially for getting started again. 5 Quote ... a little odd in the head ...

Raxie Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Ugh that happened to me a few months ago it was AWFUL. It took me a while to fully recover, have you thought about getting a massage? It really helped me a lot and doesn't really quite fall into the dreaded doctor zone. 1 Quote forty-seven: Raxie and the Joining of Unlike Things << previous challenges >> >> instagram || goodreads << Link to comment

I never done a message, don't know who to contact for it too. It'll get better in time Thursday was Crossfit Strongman. We did some dumbbell burpees and sandbag carrying for warmup. Strength parth was barbell rows (5x12@40 KG) and Goodmornings (5x12@30 KG). Last part was log press 5x3 AHAP. We did 5x3@ 52 KG Afterwards there was a little time left and i did a log press of 62 KG. Yesterday was lifting day. I did a workout when the kids were at school in the afternoon. That gives me a window of about 1:15h. It went something like this: 50 mountainclimbers set up weights for deadlifts 50 mountainclimbers Warmup Deadlift 50 mountainclimbers Deadlift 8 @ 82 KG 50 mountainclimbers Deadlift 8 @ 82 KG 50 mountainclimbers Deadlift 8 @ 82 KG 50 mountainclimbers Deadlift 8 @ 82 KG 50 mountainclimbers Deadlift 10 @ 82 KG 50 mountainclimbers Set up weights for Benchpress 50 mountainclimbers Warmup benchpress 50 mountainclimbers Benchpress 8 @ 52 KG 50 mountainclimbers Benchpress 8 @ 52 KG 50 mountainclimbers Benchpress 8 @ 52 KG 50 mountainclimbers Benchpress 8 @ 52 KG 50 mountainclimbers Benchpress 8 @ 52 KG 50 mountainclimbers For a total of: 42 deadlifts (not included the warmups) 40 benchpresses (not included the warmups) 750 mountainclimbers 2 1 Quote ... a little odd in the head ...

Mrs Van Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Yes! The Gryffindarlings!

I've had my neck be jacked up for weeks before I went for a massage and had it better by the end of the session. And they're really relaxing as well!

I know i really think i would benefit, but it's cumbersome finding out where to go, also it will cost me some and last months we were on quite a tight budget. It's a bit better now but i want to be in this state of mind (keeping tight) for as long as possible. Also the holiday season has taken a big bite out of our budget, and on top of that we are hosting the christmas party AND new years party... On 3-12-2017 at 3:00 AM, Yasha92 said: following I see you! And glad you are following here. Always nice to have you around! Sunday and monday were unremarkable days except that on monday i skipped lifting and had a MAJOR snooze!!! I decided on the last minute (just after i took the kids to bed) i wouldn't go lifting because 1. i was cold, and the home gym is about ~5 degrees C at the moment and 2. i was feeling dogtired. So i hit the couch put on some netflix but i think i lasted about 15 minutes, sleeping till the wife was home from cooking class. And just waking up to tell her i was going to bed. Haven't heard her coming to bed, and didn't heard her getting out for work. I had a SOLID sleep. Trying to get my head around why i feel so tired lately, the only thing i can come up with is the irregularity of the times i go to bed. So as a test i'm gonna try to average that out. I'm gonna try to go to bed around 11 pm. Just as close as possible, even in the weekend. Putting that up with the other goals of the moment. Tomorrow i will have a free day as tonight our version of Santa Claus will come by. Tomorrow the kids will find a bunch of presents in the living room and they have a day off of school. So i also shifted my free friday for wednesday. We thought (well actually my wife though) it was time for the kids to get their first gameconsole. So i did some research, and i went with the nintendo switch. The NES was my first system right at the same age my oldest is now. So it brings back memories, Santa Claus, Nintendo, Mario etc. I'm very curious how they are gonna react to the bag of presents not being that large this year. But we'll see. 4 Quote ... a little odd in the head ... Link to comment

From next challenge I'm going to have a look at the mini's. Maybe we two (and the others) can team up, see what we can do, if it is something with teams, or we just challenge each other. I think the Gryffendarlings challenge was such a great success (because you guys were awesome) because we just gave it all we got and just had a lot of fun, and things just clicked. Let's make it click again - in the new year The boys just decided if we ever move, we are moving to your country. They want Santa to come earlier too! Have a happy day.... oh and photos!
