From the shadows she comes

[cheetara]

Hello everyone

So I've been away for some time. Felt better to make a new thread (new me) I woke up a few days ago and realised that I'm now in the in the form of a shapely brick. ( I just want to look good naked ) Kidding.

So today I did the Darebee workout that made me come here and join all those years ago to check how far I have slipped.

So today ;

Batcave 3 sets 1 minute rest
20 minutes of yoga

Hello all and thanks for the warm welcome

I've been thinking a lot about resilience today. At the moment my body isn't capable at performing to the standards I remember/ want, but that is secondary to the calm feeling that I get when I know my body is trained and ready. The world could throw whatever at me and I would just take it on and get on with my life.

Workout for today
20 minutes of yoga
4,3 km trail walk with the dogs.
Wim hof breathing: Yes

Friday was a complete rest day, totally unplanned. Busy day and a meeting with old friends in the evening.

Saturday 4,3 km canicross run. I love the sport, and more importantly my young dog loves it too.
Later in the day 4,2 km trail walk with both of the dogs.

Wim hof breathing: No

Started today with a morning run. That really is a sentence I never in my life thought I would use. Until May of this year I could count on my fingers the times I had actually put on some running shoes and done it.

So today:
4,5 km canicross
20 minutes of yoga
Wim hof breathing Yes

I'm thinking on starting a program also with this. I'm going to go though them and find a suitable one. That's tomorrow me's problem.

Have a nice night Bees

Today was difficult, not that I didn't want to train. But I think I might have a cold growing in.

But still
4,5 km canicross and 20 minutes of yoga

 

[cheetara]

I seem to always forget to add stuff here, it doesn't mean that I'm not training..but still it's good to keep a record of the training.

Started Carbon and Dust today, let's see if I'm fit enough to tackle it.

But day 1 finished

 

[cheetara]

I felt good this morning and hopefully I can keep up with the pace of this program.

Day 2 of Carbon and Dust completed even if I was close to giving up at the fifth rep.

Now I'm going to cozy up and watch the movie Alien. Have a nice evening Bees

Day 3 of carbon and dust.
Let's see how I feel, because it was HARD today but at the same time, I know I have to keep it hard, because this should be an okay workout if I wasn't so terrible out of shape


I still don't seem to be able to prioritize training over other things, but it's stupid really.. because I do feel so much better after a good workout.

 

[cheetara]

I have to accept that Carbon and Dust isn't for me at this point. Woke up sore to the point where I had trouble walking. Disappointing, but perhaps not that unexpected.

So I had to search for something a bit easier, so today I started

Athena's Playbook day 1; 5 sets

Have a good night Bees

 

[cheetara]

Baking today, a nice cake to have to my coffee.

Training wise
Athena's Playbook: day 2, five sets.

I think five sets is where I'm going to set my limit to.

The important part is that you continue working out to the best of your ability. I understand this struggle as I also recently returned to the life, as it were. Keep up the good work, you'll get back to the level of fitness at which you would like to be quickly enough. I just have to remember this for myself, as well.

 

[cheetara]

So Tuesday I did the workout but apparently forgot to check in. My life this week is..busy. Yesterday...yeah let's just pretend it never happened.

Athena's Playbook day 4 done

Yes, I know. It's just hard when I see something and is snickering because it should be so easy..and it's not

 

[cheetara]

I decided a few days ago that I would do this with five sets, just to keep myself moving. Cardio days that is very easy, looks like the only thing I haven't lost completely.

Athena's Playbook Day 5.

 

[cheetara]

First thing Plank hold day 1
