(Un)Official 2025 T-ransformation Challenge

Everybody ready for the Superbowl?

We’re having nachos, which I’ll eat some of, but we’re also doing chicken drumsticks, brie, guac, and steamed shrimp, so I’m hoping to get enough protein in that I can handle myself with the naughtier stuff.

Too, I’m getting ready to work out and we have fresh snow, so I’ll be snowshoeing today. So plenty of calories burnt beforehand.

I’m leaving my job to return to private practice, which is a massive administrative undertaking, so I haven’t had time to post much, but I’m loving my workouts and maintaining my weight. The goal was to cut hard at the beginning of the challenge, but that’s had to make way for some big feelings and sleeplessness and such, so I’ve switched to just staying on track with my eating and workouts. Once work stuff stabilizes I’ll go back to the cut.

Doing some smoked/air fried wings for myself, and a whole spread of air fried junk food the fam. Looking at corndogs, pizza rolls, mozzarella sticks, and probably some other stuff I’ve overlooked.

I’m also planning on doing a carry medley beforehand, so somehow kegs will also be involved in my Superbowl.

The Valkyrie is starting up a new job on Monday as well, so we’re in a similar season of change here. Which, in turn, I couldn’t ask for better company.

Way to get after it!

Headed to an open mat for BJJ. No sweets or alcohol this year.

Congrats on new job. I’m in a similar boat. Next week is my last week. Although, I don’t yet know what I’m don’t next.

Throwback 10 years ago - home brew days… for superbowl here in Oz.

And how it’s going now… simpler!

Just a few arm curls this 'bowl. From 10am on a Monday morning here down under.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! How are you loving yourselves… by which I mean how is the transformation going and not anything gross?

Ha! Funny.

I’m going to love myself by working out despite my stepson being here and that my workout stuff is all in the middle of the house, so it’ll be weird.

Also planning to eat right. There will be wine, though, I would imagine.

Started my day at 430am with a lift that included Bulgarian Split Squats and Thrusters. No love here.

Might be getting my favorite Greek place for dinner on the way to one of my favorite places for a weekend getaway. There is the love.

Pretty decent. With all the added calories, I’m hitting some new PR’s in events that I haven’t touched in months. I hit a 600lb slow yoke walk for 35ft (best was a slow 550 for 50ft) and a 250lb husaffel carry for 2 sets of 25ft. I haven’t touched husaffel in over a year and yoke in 6 months

Physique wise, I’m looking denser but not necessarily fatter so that’s always cool

Cardio session today as an off lifting day today.

Happy Valentines Day everyone!

Plan is to hit up a local favorite place called Capers on Sunday. Going off diet and planning to have some killer bread pudding for dessert. :sunglasses:

Got a lift in this morning. Dumbbell belt squats really feel more like masochism than love but I know deep down, my quads really love it.

By murdering my quads. Does that count? :joy:

No progress here whatsoever.
Not moving backward (i think) but not moving forward.
TBH doing so many things in my life that only deeply ingrained habits are keeping me on track. No room for motivation or a “sprint” if that makes sense.
And that means the status quo will maintain but not improve.
