Unfortunately things are not going well, my wife of 11 years and I are going through a pretty rough patch to put it lightly and looks like we might separate.
Nothing like infidelity or abuse but really I’ve over focused on career/saving money and kind of put the rest of life on autopilot. She was building resentment and like I was neglecting her but not always the best communicator (or maybe I was just very dense…) Trust was eroded also, promising I’d do something then canceling due to something at work.
It takes 2 but hoping we can still reconcile, or if not at least I will try move forward with a better sense of what NOT to do if/when I try to date again
Would prefer not to go into too much more detail at this time as it’s still really raw and I’m still “processing” this…
I’m still training but kind of scaled it back, usually hit the minimum reps on 5/3/1 then follow up with bodyweight exercises. Not ideal but better than stopping training. May reset training maxes and try to build back up.
I’m trying to spend less time online so might not update this log very frequently but I’m taking it day by day - I’m not in crisis or anything like this but definitely feeling a roller coaster of emotion
That is not a nice thing to go through, but ti sounds like you have identified some areas you can work on and hopefully you can rebuild the trust and move forward. Good to still get a little training in for both physical and mental well being. Here for you if you need to vent. But totally understand you need to be less online and more present. Hope it goes well.
I did this challenge 4 or 5 years ago but didn’t really track time. I stayed the same bodyweight but wasn’t really following a diet.
Right now just trying to finish the challenge. I usually start with 3-5 minutes of jump rope, some light mobility work and foam roller (if I feel I need it) but don’t count that as part of total workout time for tracking purposes. Weight selections seem OK. Goblet squats I just used my heaviest kettlebell but reps added up by the end. Dips weren’t terribly challenging but might try to use this workout for my “speed run” lol
If I can get one of the workouts done in under 20 minutes I’d be very happy. Main issue is grip. After the set of 50 heart rate is usually back to normal 1.5-2 min but need more time due to grip fatigue.
Finishing the challenge is the bronze, finishing a workout in under 25 minutes is the silver and under 20 for a workout is the gold lol
Rough week, my mother had a fall last Saturday and broke her leg right above her artificial knee. She’s getting better but has been in hospital since then so I’ve been helping her and my dad plus trying to juggle a work deadline so missed a week of training.
Will pick up where I left off on the 10,000 swing challenge tomorrow. I am thinking to just get the work in the next couple workouts then see if I can’t PR with a shorter time in the following week.
Trying to move my parents out in the next couple of months to an apartment or place with no stairs at least. I do have a younger sister who is local but she’s expecting a baby in November so I’ll probably need to be really involved with the move etc.
Wasn’t sure what I was going to do with training. Probably something simple like 5/3/1 and cardio on off days. I do have a weight vest and was thinking of incorporating some rucking which seems to be a good way to work in some low impact cardio and (much more importantly for me right now) to keep a clear mind.
