NewYearathon - getting fitter in 2017.

[OublietteBravo]

A shiny new thread for a New Year.

Come and join us - whatever your exercise goal for 2017.

Ok I'm back on it tomorrow - August is too far away Kanye!!

Right. I eventually worked up enough motivation to exercise. I've just done 30DS L3D1 (think I might regret using the 3kg weights) & 6W6P L2D5.5 (wimped out and went back to 1kg weights)

(106h 15min; 137/113)

I've given up for a few days. Up four times with children last night so any will to do anything tonight is gone out the window. I've a long liquid lovely lunch with some friends tomorrow so hopefully I'll be in a fit state for my inflatables run with dd on Saturday

Got in early today already pretty hot and muggy and did NMTZ

(107h 05min; 138/112)

I've given up for the moment. I was taking norehisterone(?) while I was away so I could use the pool and my periods arrived with a bit of a flurry and I feel wiped out. I should be fine by Monday, new week new start and five weeks till my next comp.

Hope you feel better soon RJ

I did a short session this morning (6W6P L1), and probably won't exercise again until Monday.

(107h 40min; 139/111)

I did a 5k with dd today which was fun. It was an inflatable course, so 10 different obstacles to get over and through en route. Tbh, between the heat and my massive hangover (very long and lovely lunch yesterday ) we walked a lot of it --
as did most other people so I didn't feel quite so bad!

Hope you're feeling back to normal soon, RJ. Enjoy your rest day tomorrow, Oubliette. I'm taking tomorrow off too but I anticipate a high step count as we're going to a theme park for the day. Love how the children get to dictate my birthday party

Parkrun pb:-). 31.22 at slightly hilly course. Busy start so dodging slower people, caught 30 mins pacer at 1k, stayed with them to 4.2 and to be fair probably didn't cross the start for 30s. Just ran out of stamina at the very end although I did manage to run the whole way. Actually felt sick after the finish for the first time ever too. Then did some upper body weights, discovered I can only do 10 squats holding nearly 2yo DD and am about to do some abs now!

Well done you guys. Fantastic activity and I feel like a sloth. I have mostly sat in the couch napping, watching films and clutching my stomach and I'm now trying the alcohol remedy.

I will be fine by Monday, unless these hormones send my system totally loopy. I now have five weeks till the Scottish open so Monday is full speed ahead.

Kanye was that the race for life one by any chance?

Back on it today after yesterdays planned rest day. Just done 30DS L3D2 & 6W6P L2D6

(108h 30min; 140/110)

Oh, and new trainers

Loving the trainers.

Right I am back on it today with a hot sticky sore gym session. I just want to eat rubbish though !

I've had crumpets and ice cream this evening

Did my Kettlebell fitness class today, was not good. Hot sweaty and post holiday. I didn't actually spew but it did come close.

I've just had galaxy chocolate.

You did better than me RJ - I had an unplanned rest day and sherry

I managed NMTZ this evening. Still seem to be struggling with motivation a bit at the moment.

(109h 20min; 141/109)

133/117

Struggled through a really difficult workout in the heat and thought about stopping quite a lot but didn't do the mental thing is getting better!

A short session this evening - because I'm going out. 6W6P L1

(109h 55min; 142/108)

Just out of work so won't be training tonight, this can be my day off this week.

Well, that was a week that wasn't I'm going to blame it on the cake mountain (I had 3 birthday cakes!), school holidays and little cousins coming on their "holidays". I have managed my 10k steps every day though so at least there's that.

Tomorrow is another day...

Two rest days (Saturday was planned, Friday was a result of DS being late back from his trip).

Just done 30DS L3D3 & 6W6P L2D6.5

(110h 40min; 143/107)

Ok I've been a bit better, did a brutal Kettlebell workout at home yesterday, I only have 8 and 12kg at home so I just kept going nonstop for 30 minutes through lifts - might need the carpet shampooed now...and back in with my MMA circuits this morning so feel a little more on it.

135/115

I've made a good start to the week: NMTZ this evening.

(111h 30min; 144/106)

Way too hot here for a run and I've banjaxed my arm so can't go for a swim so 5k walk today.

Shared a PT with a friend at lunch time.

Then wolfed a whole bag of twirl bites while watching game of thrones 🙄
