September 20, W4D6 Strength Day
I get to go to the gym today, I’m feeling pumped. Today’s assistance will include core work, abs, obliques, AND lower back.
Yesterday’s workout was good. Biceps are very sore, but not as much as I would have thought. I have a hunch they are gonna be dead tomorrow. Traps are also sore, which thinking about it makes sense I suppose.
I need to eat some more fruits/vegetables, Ive been slacking.
Im going to start getting cold showers again. Haven’t been doing that in a while.
I want to do a lot today.
Assignments:
Clean my room (Done)
Fill in my daily planner I got so I can use it (Done)
Go outside and soak up some sunlight before it gets too cold (Its looking very good outside today) (I want to get a bit more tan. Its healthy. Your meant to have a bit of a tan)
Mow neighbors grass
My thoughts on tanning are this. Artificial tanning is bad.
Staying out in the sunlight all day trying to get a tan, a little better but still bad.
Going out everyday into the sun for a short-medium period of time (30-90 minutes), consistently is the best. You get daily exposure which gives you more vitamin D and whatnot, and it shoudn’t really cause you to get sunburnt.
Breakfast:
3 eggs
3 waffles
2 babybel cheeses
2 tsp butter
----Total: 754 Kcal, 45g fat, 41g carbs, 47g protein
Time to clean my room like I’ve been wanting to the past week.
I’m not sure exactly how easy it will be to fit in my non-strength workouts in when I have them on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have clubs on those days, and then the science research thing. I get home about 6:00, so I would have to fit something there before dinner.
Winter is gonna be fun… Cold and Dark. That will be the real challenge
I have my Friday (or in those weeks Saturday) workouts I call “Friday-Fun workout”
100m rock carries with 10pushups, 10 squats, and 10 crunches, x 10, and at the end I will do 3 sets of pullups, followed by a 100m sprint to finish. I think this will be a good workout for that day.
I weighed the rock. 53lbs. Didn’t think it was actually that much.
Lunch:
1/2 pound canned chicken
a bit of worcestershire sauce
12 pistachios
1/2 cup rice pudding

I never mowed the neighbors lawn yesterday, but I checked it today and it hasn’t grown enough over the course of a week. I MIGHT consider mowing it on Wednesday possibly.
I don’t want to have to rest… but my body really needs it. Its sore, and my calf felt like it was acting up (c’mon… don’t hurt this week… I want to squat…)
I really like squatting. Mostly because I get to move a higher amount of weight than my other movements.

I think I have found the cause of some of my problems. Overstimulation. I find myself unable to focus at times, and I think its because of screens. Im going to limit myself drastically with screentime. No more Watching YouTube Videos (a bit of music is fine), no more swimming on wikipedia, no more random Google searches. No more staring at an open tab because for some reason its stimulating to me.
I turned off the colors.

Today was good until homeowork. My physics homework problem was stressing me out, but then I asked chatgpt how to solve it. Now it makes sense. I assumed the value of a variable even though it was something I was trying to solve for.
Other than that 30 minutes of stress, My day is good so far.
I have to set some goals for the next 7 weeks (Its perfect timing; I have 7 weeks until the end of Operator.) of strength class.
What is a reasonable strength gain in that time I’m following operator? I’ll have done a full 12 weeks since the start of it.
Since I have my science thing on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I wont be able to do cardio workouts (atleast for now). So what I was thinking is I will (when I need to) do GC workouts when they are on Tuesday Thursday , and then do HIC when I have those workouts on Monday Wednesday Friday. Saturday can be an E day I guess.
I’ve been feeling tired recently. Im getting enough sleep (according to the health whosits and whatsits), I normally go to bed at 8:30 and get up at 5:20. 5:20 remains fixed no matter what. Maybe I could do to bed closer to 7:30-8:00 to get more. But then on tuesdays Thursdays I have to workout, eat, shower, then immediately go to bed probably. Life is getting so busy this year.
Joints have been iffy too. Ever so often I feel my knees and ankles unhappy. What should I eat/do for this?

6 oz beef
2.5 medium potatos

Good food today I would say. Shower, and then time for relax for bed.
Something unrelated.
I’ve been saving all the wax from the babybel cheese. I plan on making something eventually.
I decided to have the rest of my raisinettes. Not having anymore though; that was my box.
110 Kcal extra food for the day, all carbs and fat. I regret it, it was not healthy.
This could just be growing pains.
