Thank you, @MadamMeow and @Fremen ! Wednesday and Thursday - September 11th and 12th, 2024 Fun times at work! Nothing actually terrible, just lots of moving around, pushing things, walking up and down stairs... plus a tweaked Achilles tendon. Legs go ouchie! 1000 Squats Challenge. Days 11...

Tuesday - September 9th, 2024 Well, that was a while. It's been a busy month, and it's not looking to get tremendously better for a while yet. I've been trying to keep up with workouts. Days get missed, days get caught back up. And things just overall... could have been more focused...

Thank you, @MadamMeow and @Mamatigerj ! I was actually thinking about doing another trip this year to another volcanic park, Lassen. But then I found out the whole thing is on fire. :sad: Sunday - August 4th, 2024 It's mostly a standard weekend day here, the only exception being a call-in to...

Thank you, @graoumia, @HellYeah, and @Fremen! Saturday - August 3rd, 2024 Today marks the first day of another cycle of over time at work, something that always interferes with my workout schedule. Fortunately, I was kind of expecting two weeks of no program this month, as I started Fireheart...

Friday - August 2nd, 2024 Wow! Garmin thinks I need 30 hours of recovery. Honestly... that feels about right. Besides the workout, work required lifting a bundle of wood around, moving big fans, and crawling through bushes in order to cut out blackberry vines... ...which are just the...

Monday through Thursday - July 29th through August 1st, 2024 I skipped a day in there. Not sure which one. I think it was the 30th, letting me finish Better Core on the 31st. Fireheart Program. Day 14. Completed at Level 2. Upper Body and Push-Ups/Planks. My wrist still isn't 100%? Dang...

Tuesday through Sunday - July 23rd through 28th, 2024 Garmin says my sleeping and my VO2 Max are a problem. Yeah, I don't see either of those getting fixed in the immediate future. I've moved the needle on VO2 Max, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to take up jogging or running to get...

Monday - July 22nd, 2024 Just another day at work, handling things either too boring or too gross to mention. When I check fire extinguishers at my job, I try to add in lunges. Put the tools in a bucket on the ground, then kneel in a lunge position to get something from the bucket. Doing...

Hey! Welcome back!

@MadamMeow Yeah, there were problems, but overall it was great! Thursday through Sunday - July 18th - 21st, 2024 Another week gone by. I do want to get back to doing these check ins every night, but timing just isn't working out for me. Work could have been a fantasticly huge problem on...

Saturday through Sunday - July 6th through 14th, 2024 Vacation! Crater Lake is... technically exactly what it says on the label, but that rim in the distance is around 6 miles (9.6 km) away. The crater in question was, about 7700 years ago, a 14,000 foot (4,300 meter) volcanic mountain...

Thank you, @MadamMeow, @HellYeah, @Fremen, and @graoumia! Temperatures are rising here in the Pacific Northwest. Stay shaded and hydrated everyone! Unless you're in the southern hemisphere, in which case bundle up for the winter! Monday - July 1st, 2024 50 Push-Ups in One Go Challenge. Day...

Sunday - June 30th, 2024 Hey! Okay, things were done over the last ten days, but not consistant enough or memorable enough to write about. So, I'll lead with today. Today... I changed the oil in my car. Hooray! Walk. As exciting as changing the oil was, it didn't exactly burn calories...

Tuesday - June 18th, 2024 Strength training! Also... more dental work! This process is going to be a lot longer than I thought, but at least today was just suture removal and a bit of cleaning. No pain killers needed. Everyday Stretching. Still looking for a good warmup that doesn't drag...

I and my tree thank you, @Fremen and @MadamMeow! I got out on Friday and watered it again. Both trees are still alive so far! :welcome: Just 500 years more to go. :LOL: Last Week - June 9th - 14th, 2024 Things were done. I don't remember them all, but I kept track of Epic Legs Challenge. A...

Wednesday - June 5th, 2024 Okay... surgery day. It's dental surgery, so it's not that bad. But I was warned that I'm gonna be in pain afterwards. So, best thing is to get my workouts out of the way first. Then, the torture experts can carve my jaw up like it's a Saw movie. The upside, of...

Thank you, @MadamMeow and @Fremen! Sunday - June 2nd, 2024 Helios Workout. Casual Training Mode. I did all 7 sets seperated by about an hour, give or take. I didn't do the workout's recommend EC, keeping my arms up the whole time, but I did my own EC by adding 3 lb / 1.3 kg weights. I...

Thank you, @Fremen and @MadamMeow! It was a great trip, and yeah, felt pretty epic by the time I drug my legs back into the car. :LOL: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday - May 29th through 31st, 2024 Month's over! So far, I'm kind of likeing the way Fitbit tracks calories burned more than Garmin...

Monday - May 27th, 2024 Okay, here it is! Finally, the rarest of things has happened! At least for where I live in mid-spring, that is. I have a day off (it's Memorial Day in the USA), it's mostly sunny, and I have a day off to recover (work gives me a floating holiday). So... I get to go...

Friday through Sunday - May 24th - 26th, 2024 REI and Garmin have a pretty decent sale going on right now (through June 16th), so I finally took the plunge and started switching over from Fitbit to Garmin. Since Fitbit's take over by Google, things have been slowly going downhill, at least...
