I'm devoid of energy at the moment so I had an unplanned rest day yesterday. Kids are finishing up for summer holidays at lunchtime so I got out for a plod (definitely couldn't call it a run) and a short sea swim before I have to go back and pick them up.

OublietteBravo · 30/06/2021 19:35

I had a rest day yesterday because I just couldn’t fit Jillian around teenagers watching football. Back to it this evening: 30DS L3D18 and KB&T L3D14 (65 min)

Rest day today for me. Had to take DS somewhere this morning (my DCs on summer hols since Friday) so couldn't exercise first thing and then lost motivation/it was too hot. Tomorrow!!

roonetta · 01/07/2021 14:13

Rest day for me too yesterday.

I have skipped the Tabata workout in Epic 2 today, in favour of a WWL, which was again interrupted. We are really busy at work at the moment, so lots of unpaid overtime. Finding it hard to get a good workout in without being constantly interrupted with work emails. I will try and get another WWL in today at some stage, just so I feel like I have done something.

SophieLion · 01/07/2021 16:49

Epic heat day 47 (lower body complexes) and a girvan abs workout today.

Hope you manage your WWL Roonetta.

SophieLion · 02/07/2021 08:17

Epic heat day 49 total body complexes. Almost done but I've missed 3 days out: the HIIT last weekend as we were away and then two chest/push up workouts because I couldn't do them with my bad arm. So will at work to go back and do them.

Days exercised 147

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 02/07/2021 11:13

Another lazy day yesterday. I did a 6k run this morning. 6 months ago I would have laughed at the thought of managing 6k so it's a great achievement. I've a 10k race in 2 weeks and that's going to be brutal 😅

roonetta · 02/07/2021 13:11

Thanks Sophie. Unfortunately I didn't get to do another WWL. I made sure I got up early this morning and did Epic 2 day 42 dumbbell circuits so work couldn't intrude. I notice that tomorrow's workout is 50 minutes of push up variations! Not sure that will be happening Grin

Wow, well done Motherforkin that is a fabulous achievement. You will smash the 10k!

Oops forgot to record yesterday’s session! 30DS L1D19 and KB&T L3D15 (65 min)

(127/123; 129h 45min)

Wondering if I’ll fit in a session around teenagers watching football today. We’ll see…

SophieLion · 02/07/2021 16:36

MotherForkin, If you can do a 6km then in the excitement of the race, you will definitely manage the 10km!! The race environment always makes people run faster and better than they usually do. Good luck!!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 02/07/2021 16:50

Unfortunately it's virtual, Sophie so I have to motivate myself 🤦‍♀️

OublietteBravo · 02/07/2021 20:18

KB&T L3D16 and 30DS L2D19 (65 min). I did the first DVD before the 5pm match. My plan was to do the second one in between the two matches. But the first game went all the way to a penalty shootout. So DS ended up missing the first 15 minutes of the second game.

Ah sorry I didn't get that MotherForkin! But still we're all rooting for you and am sure you will smash it!!!!!

Oh no.... was your DS cross about missing part of the match oubliette?? Asking from experience here....!!

Went back to do epic heat day 45 (dumbbell HIIT today) plus a short lower abs workout.

Went back to do Epic heat day day 18 chest and core today. Passed surprisingly quickly!

SophieLion · 05/07/2021 08:00

Epic heat day 50 (EMOM HIIT). That was brutal..... but I finished!! (Although have missed day 48 push-ups because I cannot do it right now with my bad arm).

Days exercised 150

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 05/07/2021 11:58

Well done, Sophie! You must be as ripped as Caroline at this stage Wink Annoying that your shoulder is still at you. My physio is talking about an mri to check mine for tendon issues as it's so slow improving.

My lack of mojo continues so I had a very lazy weekend. I did a half hour legs thing this morning to get me going.

roonetta · 05/07/2021 14:11

Yass Sophie! Amazing Star. Sorry to hear your arm is still playing up. Have you decided what's next?

Sorry to hear about your shoulder too Motherforkin. Hopefully it won't be anything that time can't heal.

Did an hour's WWL yesterday which got me sweaty and out of breath, so I will count that one. Epic 2 day 43, push up workout. I did better than I thought I would. 23 different types of push ups x 2. I did most on my toes, although there were some where I modified with normal ones instead of the ones she did; archer/skull crusher. Glad it's done, I was dreading it.

Two rest days over the weekend (plus a 17th birthday party for DD). 30DS L3D19 and KB&T L3D17 (65 min) this evening. Enjoying not having to fit around the football!

Happy birthday to your DD Oubliette!. No chance of getting your workout in on Wednesday Grin

Epic 2 day 44 abs and glutes. This one felt soooo long. Hardly any rests and really slow pace. Definitely not my favourite but at least it’s done.

Days exercised 126

SophieLion · 06/07/2021 18:19

Thanks for the wishes Roonetta and MotherForkin! I'm not sure I could ever be as ripped as girvan!! We're away for a week now.
No gym so might try to get in some runs. Don't think I will start any more epics for the moment as we're away most of august too so seems pointless.

Happy birthday to your DD oubliette! Fingers crossed for your shoulder MotherForkin

OublietteBravo · 06/07/2021 19:53

Managed to fit in exercise before the teenagers commandeered the TV for football. KB&T L3D18 and 30DS L1D20 (65 min)

Happy birthday Ms Bravo.

Really heavy rain all day today. I decided to risk a run between squalls and timed it very badly. I must have been carrying about 3kg of water by the time I got home!

roonetta · 07/07/2021 14:22

Grin at visualising you with all that extra water weight Motherforkin - you would have gotten less wet if you had one of your swims! Well done for keeping going, I would have turned around and gone home Blush

Enjoy your week away Sophie

I could only face a single Jillian DVD this evening. Cardio: NMTZ (50 min). I finished in plenty of time for DS to watch the football.
