Hello oub

165/85

I've been variously out drinking, away for work, suffering with a virus and demotivated. And also moved dd1 out to uni.

My leg is still gammy and I have a physio appointment on Wednesday.

However I went in and did a boxing class today and I'm hopefully back on it. I need to be. I'm getting ready which means I need to lift heavy shit.

How are you?

Hello RJ - great to have you back! It's amazing how life gets in the way, isn't it? I hope your DD is having a great time at uni.

I'm pleased with myself because I actually managed 5 days of exercise this week (just done BFBM). I'm more or less on track for number of days, but behind on number of hours. There is no way I will hit 150h by the end of the month!

Despite this, I'm definitely having at least one rest day this weekend it's my birthday on Sunday. Other than that I'm busy with work/children and revising for an exam in October.

I'm behind on days but stil well within the realms of doing it.

It's good to be back, I feel rubbish not training then I get sad and eat more and feel more rubbish. I was sore yesterday so didn't train but I'm back on it.

I wish I could get this leg sorted and get back out jogging though.

Deadlift day with dh before he went to work.

Sore now 😩

So I ended up taking two days off at the weekend. Hoping for another good week - NMTZ this evening.

(141h 40min; 182/68)

I think I'm on a roll again. I have classes Tuesday Thursday and possibly Friday, plans to nip in train quickly after work on Wednesday before I go see nick cave (😃) and a session planned for Saturday. Dh is running a half marathon Sunday so I'll have that off this week.

Now oub I need shouted at if that doesn't happen!

168/82

Kettlebell class

I think I'm broken. Stopping training is no good for anyone 😟

Right - cardio for me this evening. BFBM

(142h 30min; 183/67)

I feel your pain RJ - exercising was much more painful after my holiday. It took me at least a couple of weeks to be able to do a Jillian DVD without feeling like I was going to die.

A rather reluctant NMTZ. Feeling better for having done it.

(143h 20min; 184/66)

Didn't manage today. Got held up in with again and had tickets for nick cave tonight(who was amazing)

Today's physio appointment didn't go well. I'm hugely overcompensating for my left side including when I'm training and as a result shoulders are out of alignment/ leg is too tight this the Achilles problem and my calf muscle on my left is one full inch smaller than the one on the right (we measured)

So I may need to strip back my training as well - not less just different. Hmmm.

Ouch - that's a painful sounding list! I'm pretty sure my calves are different sizes - although maybe not by an inch. I must measure them at some point.

Back to cardio this evening: BFBM. I'm feeling particularly sweaty - time for a shower!

(144h 10min; 185/65)

This week has gone fairly well. NMTZ this evening - making it 5 evenings out of 5.

(145h 00min; 186/64)

Well done oub. I'm doing all my stretches several times a day and as a result I'm in agony. I can't get my coach on her phone and I don't know how to proceed with training. Pissed off and no further forward.

😡

Oh, that's odd. I commented this morning, but it seems to have vanished!

Don't push yourself too hard RJ - you don't want to make things worse.

I did a quick 6W6P L1 this morning.

(145h 35min; 187/63)

I'm about 4.5 hours behind target. I'm hoping I'll make that up over the remaining 3 months...

Rest day yesterday (as planned). Cardio this evening: BFBM

(146h 25min; 188/62)

I'm quite proud of myself. I was very tempted to have a rest day. Not only did I exercise, I did a full 50min (NMTZ)

(147h 15min; 189/61)

Still plodding away, chipping away my 2017 target a little bit at a time. Cardio - BFBM

(148h 05min; 190/60)

NMTZ

(148h 55min; 191/59)

BFBM. Five evenings out of five again this week - I'm pleased with that!

(149h 45min; 192/58)

6W6P L1 this morning. Which finally takes me past the 3/4 point on my 200 hour target (about a week late).

Tomorrow and Monday will be rest days (and probably Tuesday too since I have an exam).

(150h 20min; 193/57)

Exam done - back to exercising. NMTZ.

(151h 10min; 194/56)

Ugh. I'm not feeling my best at the moment. BFBM.

(152h 00min; 195/55)

Rest day. I have a flight tomorrow @06:20, so I'm going to bed.

I didn't actually manage to persuade myself to exercise whilst I was on holiday. I guess I've got some catching up to do! Just done a pretty uncomfortable BFBM.

(152h 50min; 196/54)

NMTZ
