Belated thanks @neilarey @JCU @Fremen @Mamatigerj and @Laura Rainbow Dragon, and a Merry Christmas (or holiday of your choice) to the Hive!

I haven't worked out in ages, as Life has conspired to get in the way - work was crazy, then I was away, then I got sick, then my cat got sick, then I got sick again.... but the crazyness finally seems to be receeding, so I hope to get back on the fitness train soon. I've missed this place.

Just need to make up my mind about a program :thinking:

Thank you @Laura Rainbow Dragon @JCU!

Just as I was thinking, 'I'd like to do a Level III program, but I think I'll wait until there's an updated version...' along comes @neilarey with the newly updated 30 Days of Change!

So now I have no more excuses haha. I will start it tomorrow. Today I did the Daily Dare before breakfast, and then later in the afternoon we went on our Boxing Day Hike (which always ends up being incredibly muddy without fail) so. After that I'd had enough exercise for one day...

See you tomorrow! (all going to plan!)

Done Today
- 30 Days of Change, Day 2 - 30 sec plank and wall-sit

Today was... hmm. Not bad, exactly. I started to feel the first stirrings of the Bad Feelings, but I was able to step back and go 'OK, what's likely to be causing this?' And then I got out of my bedroom and played board games for a bit, then did my workout and had a shower.

And I was quite proud of myself for that, because when I get like that I often either don't know what's wrong or I get Stuck and don't do anything.

Buuut I was also thinking about about the past few months in general, and realised I've got into a bunch of habits I don't like and want to lose. Like the fact that I'm on my phone in bed now... I never used to do it, then I got into the habit when I was ill and it's stuck. I want to do something to change that.

Anyway it's all food for thought I guess.

See you tomorrow!

Yesterday I did not want to go back to work :confounded:

Not helped by the fact that waking up has been more awful than usual lately. Bad sleep habits? Don't know. Anyway, yesterday Multiplank Day 2 and 30 Days of Change Day 4. I picked multiplank because 1. My plank-holding ability has gone somewhat downhill, and 2. It looks fun. Some of the later positions might be hard for me to hold for long, but I reckon I can break it into as many sets as I need.

Today... just the multiplank. Shark week hit (explains all my fluctuating emotions recently!) and I wasn't up for more.

It'll be midnight in 13 minutes for me. Happy New Year, bees!

This week has been kind of intense. Two nights (back to back) where I had three-hour zoom meetings, working today (Saturday), and also I have a trip coming up in about 2 months that will need a fair bit of preparation and it hit me that it's high time I got on that.

In better news, I've been doing a fairly good job of kicking my phone-in-bed habit, and I've started reading in the evenings again. I also downloaded a sleep tracking app yesterday, to get an idea of what my sleep's actually like and hopefully improve it a bit. Today my sleep score was 76 (Fair), it took me 20 mins to fall asleep, and I slept for 7 hours 58 minutes (which is better than I thought).

Today's Workout
- 30 Days of Change Day 11
- Standing Abs Day 18
- Multiplank Day 10

I'm still? kind of stressed? But in terms Actually Doing Things today was less, so it was OK.

When I think logically I know that actually I'm gonna be fine and there's no real reason to think otherwise, it's just convincing my anxious brain of that lol.

Today's Workout
- Multiplank Day 11
- Standing Abs Day 19
- 30 Days of Change Day 12

Sleep
- Sleep Score: 69 :(
- Sleep Latency: 40 min
- Time Sleeping: 7hr 36min
Not ideal. I think the anxiety is affecting my sleep. Hopefully tonight will be better.

So today started off great (heavy sarcasm) with me waking up feeling The Dread and then built up into an anxiety attack at work. So yeah, that wasn't fun.
Weirdly I actually feel much better now. It's like I just needed to get all that stress out of my system and now I can go back to normal.

Today's Workout
- 30 Days of Change Day 13
- Standing Abs Day 20
- Multiplank Day 12


Sleep
- Sleep Score: 75
- Sleep Latency: 6 min (!)
- Time Sleeping: 8hr 7min
I'd love to get it to 'Good' instead of 'Fair' but this was better than last night so I'll take it for now. Obviously I was exhausted, given that I fell asleep so quickly!
