Back-to-schoolathon: exercising through Autumn and Winter 2017

[OublietteBravo]

Come and track your exercise goals. All welcome - old timers and newbies alike.

No particular rules, no previous fitness required. Just set yourself a goal, and go for it!

A continuation of New Yearathon 2017 @RJnomore1 @KanyesLunchbox

How is the thigh muscle? What do you think happened?
Can I be nosy and ask what weights you use for your Jillian workouts? I'm wondering if I need to up mine. Especially for deadlifts - using 5kg dumbbells for those at the mo but suspect I use more kilos. Think I need more of a range of weights.
Planning a 7km run today.

Rest day yesterday (a day earlier than planned). Thigh seems fine today.

Cardio: BFBM

(192h 25min; 240/10)

I have 1kg and 3kg Dumbbells. I use both (depending on the exercise I'm doing).

Yes 1 and 3kg is what I have and normally use. Borrow DH's 5kg for deadlifts.

8km run today. Need to do some weights/strength but hard with DCs on hols so running while they have their sports lessons

A full hour this evening (both DC are off skiing with school): 30DS L3D7 & 6W6P L2D7

(193h 25min; 241/9)

Another hour down: 30DS L3D8 & 6W6P L2D8

(194h 25min; 242/8)

7km run today but got a sore throat now and not feeling good at all

Hope you feel better soon SophieLion

I did 6W6P L2D9 & 30DS L3D9

(195h 25min; 243/7).

Almost there...

Thank you.
Taking it easy today. No running, no exercise.
Yes you are almost there!!!

Cardio circuit this evening: BFBM

(196h 15min; 244/6)

Some strength work at last!!

Killer Arms and back L1 - with heavier weights than normal - plus Booty camp (or whatever it's called) from Jillian's 10 minute body workouts DVD

Just an abs circuit today: 6W6P L2D10

(196h 50min; 245/5)

I finally finished 30DS this morning: 30DS L3D10

(197h 15min; 246/4)

Do you include the warm up and cool down in your times, Oubliette?

Yes. But I always round down to the nearest 5 min, so probably not all of the warm up/cool down time actually gets counted.

Merry Christmas Oubliette! And merry Christmas to anyone else reading this 🎄☃️❄️🎁

Just did Extreme Shed and Shred L1. V pleased with myself as ate a ridiculous amount yesterday.... felt the size of a whale!!!!

Merry Christmas SophieLion

I've had a couple of rest days, but I'm back in it today. Strength: NMTZ

(198h 05min; 247/3).

Cardio: BFBM

(198h 55min; 248/2)

Abs: 6W6P L1

(199h 30min; 249/1)

One day (and 30 min) to go...

Wow! 1 day left only. Will be sure to check in tomorrow to congratulate you! What's your plan for next year? Would like to join you but not sure if I can go by hours or days as I'm a bit more as and when (although try to exercise most days).

On skiing hol now for a week. Still feeling a bit like a whale from all the Christmas food so making a concerted effort to eat healthily while we're away.

Forgot to say that I will try to join in your new thread because I admire your commitment and determination and it inspires me to exercise when I don't always feel like it

Hi Oubliette, just wanted to say Merry Christmas and well done on almost! completing your challenge!

Abs: 6W6P L2D11

(200h 05min; 250/0)

Onwards to 2018 (after a couple of rest days). New thread here
