Lockdown Day 96. Still no abs.

Yesterday was just a Bob day, he has been getting neglected.

Today a chest day. No rhyme or reason to the rep scheme, just did everything slower and more controlled than usual, so less weight and fewer reps. Easy but effective, I guess.

  • Barbell Floor Press

    • 27 kg x 10 reps
    • 37 kg x 10 reps
    • 37 kg x 10 reps
    • 47 kg x 10 reps
    • 57 kg x 10 reps
    • 67 kg x 10 reps
    • 77 kg x 10 reps
    • 67 kg x 10 reps
    • 67 kg x 10 reps
    • 67 kg x 10 reps

  • Dumbbell Floor Press

    • 22 kg x 10 reps
    • 26 kg x 10 reps
    • 30 kg x 10 reps
    • 30 kg x 10 reps
    • 30 kg x 10 reps
    • 26 kg x 10 reps

Lockdown Day 97. Still no abs.

Health check-in. Resting heart rate has been holding steady at around 48. Blood Pressure check this morning 116 over 67 (HR at 42 during the test), which is both an improvement since I started dropping weight, and I guess also pretty good in general.

Morning weight 78.3, so this officially puts it over a 10 kilo weight loss. Bit more to go, but probably not too much.

Preparing to go for a run, and then suddenly I see snowflakes. WTF March? Going to have to force myself anyway I suppose.

25 min 5k - in the snow, some would say that was epicā€¦

Some would. I would not. You will have to settle for this instead:

30 minutes (no warmup or cooldown)
5.52 km
All 30 minutes running, no walks.

5.26 per km. My mind was on keeping it slow again, but it ended up being faster than the 25 min pace by virtue of focusing more on breathing than the actual speed. The last 5 minutes were not terribly fun.

Thatā€™s it. I am satisfied. App lady is hereby retired, at least for now.

What kind of a masochist is he :joy: I know masochism is a thing, but lonely for being not beat up??? Thatā€™s another level

I have told you before, Bob has it coming. You should see his smug, douche-face and how he looks at you when you walk by.

You mean thatā€™s not normal? This past week it was almost 70 and sunny on Tuesday. The wind picked up to a nice and steady 25mph and it started raining Wednesday. By mid-afternoon, large snowflakes were falling in a lovely swirling cyclone fashion.

Youā€™re tempting me to give this lady a shotā€¦ or at least adopt the approach of planned walking during my slogs.

The thing about the appā€¦is that you just do exactly what she says. The only thing you have to worry about is managing your pace. You just have to commit to the mental challenge of running when she says to run, and walking when she says to walk. Stopping is not an option.

And hellā€¦it works. I cannot deny it.

Lockdow Day 100. Abs have magically appeared!*

Just did a mile run today. Timer on my stupid Fitbit went a little wonky, but ended up at about 7.50. I think maybe I donā€™t like this kind of running after all. Will probably go a bit slower and longer instead.

*For a very broad definition of abs.

Nah, I thought I would just time it for day 100, because my brain likes big round numbers.

Also, I am mostly full of shit, so thereā€™s always that.

Ever tried overhead squats? They suck but if youā€™re looking for a challenge with your weight limitationsā€¦
