Today I did about 20 minutes of rowing with one main break. (Feeling crazy tired today) The burpees are taking me out on day 26 of hero's journey. Ended up doing 5 sets of everything instead of 5,5,10,5,5. Level 1. Lunch I'm making another farro salad with tomato, parsley, mint, seasoning...

Hey hey! Was out camping for a few days so less exercise. No workout monday Tuesday 5.2 mile hike (560 cal) Wednesday 9 mile hike (1200 cal) Today I did almost 30 min of rowing. Also did day 25 of hero's journey on level 1. Still doing more pushups than before which feels really good! Today...

Didn't end up working out yesterday. As for food updates: Friday I ended up eating the heirloom tomato sandwich (proud for sticking with my healthier option) and then a little strawberry rhubarb crisp that I split ;P Yesterday I ate some palak paneer for lunch. Dinner was half a veggie burger...

It was sooooo good!

Feeling a little more sluggish yesterday. Went for a walk and one of my friends showed me his calisthenics workouts (he's been doing it for years so I can't even attempt a lot of the workouts he does). But I do think it would be nice to start trying to work my way up to a pullup. I did a few...

Day 21 of hero's journey done! Did level 1 and I'm feeling stronger! I thought that my few days break for surgery was going to hold me back but I actually did more pushups than I've done previously! I'm still doing them on my knees but it feels great to see the number increase. I also was...

Thank you! :ss:

Ended up making a coconut milk chickpea curry for dinner which is based on a curry recipe that used to be on this site. Today I tried to do another 5k training run but it was so hot out I didn't finish it. But I'm glad I tried and I'll try again tomorrow. Did day 20 of Hero's Journey. It wasn't...

Sometimes I listen to music, audiobooks, or podcasts when I workout. I was wondering if anyone had good recommendations that really get them motivated to work hard!

I'm back! Doing a lot better but the soft foods diet has been pretty draining on my energy. I've been trying to drink protein shakes and then blending fruits/veggies into smoothies, but I think it's pretty hard to get a feel for what a balanced diet would be when everything is a liquid. The most...

Yesterday: Did day 17 of hero's journey on level 2! About 5 pushups for each chunk and 1 minute rest. I'm still doing pushups on my knees because I can't seem to get a single one in a full plank. Also did another walk/run 5k training and then 28 minutes of rowing (couldn't quite hit 30) Had...

Day 15th completed yesterday along with a 1.5 hour walk. I did 7 sets of the workout. It was an eclectic day of eating leftovers since I haven't been shopping since getting back: so greek yogurt with freeze dried strawberries, a salad, plum, rice crackers, and a chocolate cake slice Today I did...

Add on for today! Did rivers of sweat instead of a running workout. Did level 3 (7 sets) with little to no break! While it wasn't time wise as long as a run (only took 15 min) my watch says I burned 130 calories! Pretty good for a quarter of an hour. I am definitely drenched in sweat. Also I...

How are the new books? Any you've liked so far?

Hey y'all! Thank you so much for the running suggestions! I know I've been gone for a bit now but I swear I haven't been slacking, just without internet. Unfortunately, being with family does make food tracking hard as I'm not in control of what is cooked so it's been a mix of salads, fish, and...
