Exercising towards a better tomorrow!

aku-chan aku-chan Logging since September 2022
Thanks! @graoumia @Mamatigerj @JCU @NightWolf714 @Lady Celerity - It really surprised me, because I'm not on a diet or anything, I'm just eating a lot more sensibly than I was.

Exercise time:-
Universal Warmup done,
30 Seconds Side Elbow Plank Hold (EotD) done,
DNA Rewrite (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 3 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 15 of Cardio done,
Day 26 of Unbound done,
Ankle Recovery done.

I'm doing some midday volunteering later, and finishing off my Gnocchi Bake for dinner (Not too impressed with this one, it's either the recipe or the fact my carton of passata was rather out of date, but it's too tomatoey for me), see y'all tomorrow!
 
Thanks! @PetiteSheWolf
@NightWolf714 - Yep. Like I told the nurse giving me my check-up, I think most of the weight loss is just down to me no longer clearing the Housemates plate most dinnertimes (I really hate throwing food away!).

Exercise time:-
Universal Warmup done,
20 Plank Rotations (EotD) done,
Second Spring (Replacement WotD) done (3 sets. I wasn't in a Planking mood),
Day 4 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 16 of Cardio done,
Day 27 of Unbound done,
Sore Feet done.

Yesterday's volunteering was fun. They've got a trendy lady vicar at the church, and that other volunteers were not impressed with her outfit choice of vicar collar and tennis dress (I'm not sure what they're really called), lots of raised eyebrows and "Well I never"'s. Luckily I was too new to be pulled into the conversation, I could just concentrate on keeping people full of tea, coffee and Beans on Toast.

Today I have both a Work Coach meeting and a Job Club to go to, followed by Chickpea Curry for dinner, see y'all tomorrow!
 
It's already a bit hot today, I think summer is here:-

Universal Warmup done,
20 Squat Hops On The Spot (EotD) done,
Legs Of Steel (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 5 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 17 of Cardio done,
Day 28 of Unbound done,
Ankle Recovery done.

Yesterday's trip to the Job Club was worth it (Even though I had to admit defeat and catch a bus home). I was the only one who turned up, so the Employment Lady (Why is it always a lady?) just had a long chat with me about my options and stuff.

Today is all about doing little jobs, with leftover curry for dinner (This one turned out really nice and spicy!), see y'all tomorrow!
 
Thanks! @CODawn

I'm up a little late today, I got woken up in the middle of the night by a rather spectacular thunderstorm, but there's no rush in doing things today:-

Universal Warmup done,
40 Side Leg Raises (EotD) done,
I Am In Charge (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 6 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 18 of Cardio done,
Day 29 of Unbound done,
Sore Feet done.

Today's job was going to be mowing the front lawns, but they're soaked at the moment, I'm sure I'll find something to do, see y'all tomorrow!
 
A nice, warm Sunday to end the week on:-

Universal Warmup done,
20 Plank Step Outs (EotD) attempted (These were hard! I managed 10),
Day 7 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 19 of Cardio done,
Day 30 of Unbound done,
Ankle Recovery done.

I was good yesterday, the grass dried out by midday so I did do the mowing in the end. It also doesn't hurt my back like it used to, so it's no longer a terrible chore, just a very boring one.
So not much to do today now, I'll see y'all tomorrow!
 
Thanks! @NightWolf714 @CODawn @JCU @Mamatigerj @Fremen @Louve Rose @graoumia

We're off to a bright start this week weather-wise, exercises:-

Universal Warmup done,
30 Seconds Chest Expansions (EotD) done,
Factory Reset (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 8 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 20 of Cardio done,
Day 1 of Unbound done (One day I'm going to have to move on to the other Yoga programs instead of endlessly repeating this one),
Sore Feet done.

Yesterday was a little annoying. I've been doing this online Maths course for fun (Yes I am that nerdy), I was starting week 4 yesterday when it suddenly demanded that I go get a scientific calculator. I'm not buying one just to do trigonometry, so that's 3 weeks wasted (And just when I was getting quite good at algebra too). :bigsad:
Oh well, I'm going to start one about moons next, hopefully I won't need a telescope halfway through.

Volunteering this evening, so I have the day free for little chores, see y'all tomorrow!

The moon one sounds interesting.

If you can get away with just needing one for homework, and you have a window's computer, the calculator app can be changed from standard to scientific. This website here also lets you use a scientific calculator for free. Hope this info helps
 
@NightWolf714 - That does help a lot, thank you! I'll be able to finish that course now. :yaaay:

Another lovely morning, time for exercising:-

Universal Warmup done,
20 Single Leg Bridges (EotD) done,
Borg (WotD) done (3 sets. Slow Squats are hard!),
Day 9 of Momentum done (3 sets. Oh no, more Slow Squats!),
Day 21 of Cardio done,
Day 2 of Unbound done,
Ankle Recovery done.

Afternoon volunteering today, so not much time for loafing around, see y'all tomorrow!
 
Tired today, even though I went to bed at 10pm, I've got to get used to being a working person I suppose (I peeled so many potatoes!), still going to try my exercises though:-

Universal Warmup done,
30 Split Jacks (EotD) done,
Chisel (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 10 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 22 of Cardio done,
Day 3 of Unbound done,

I've got a busy day ahead, more volunteering plus a meeting with my Work Coach, see y'all tomorrow!
 
Another nice, bright morning, exercise time:-

Universal Warmup done,
30 Seconds Superman Stretch Hold (EotD) done (I have room for these now),
Extra Crunch (WotD) done,
Day 11 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 23 of Cardio done,
Day 4 of Unbound done,
Ankle Recovery done.

Yesterday was good. I was telling my Work Coach about the volunteering I'm doing and how much I'm enjoying it, and she asked if it would be something I'd like to do as a job, I said yes, so she phoned someone up and arranged for me to do a few days work experience in a little cafe, see if I'm cut out to deal with paying customers.
So I've got that to look forward to next week.

Today is a day of little chores, I brought home some leftover veg yesterday, so I'm going to try and make a Parsnip and Carrot Risotto for dinner, see y'all tomorrow!
 
Thanks! @NightWolf714 - It's only 4 days over two weeks but I'm really looking forward to it.

A bit late to my exercising today, I was applying for a job and it got a little long-winded:-

Universal Warmup done,
30 Seconds Knee-to-Elbow (EotD) done,
Power Squat (WotD) done,
Day 12 of Momentum attempted (2 sets),
Day 24 of Cardio attempted,
Day 5 of Unbound done,
Sore Feet done.

Tweaked my ankle doing Lunge Step-Ups (Am I the only one who completely loses their sense of balance doing those?), so I left the last little bits of Momentum and Cardio undone.
It already feels better (It cracked quite loudly during Sore Feet) but I'm too lazy to get my exercise mat out again!

I didn't get much done yesterday, the weather got very warm and I got very sleepy! But dinner was a success, I'm feeling quite proud of that even though all I did was replace the chicken in a Chicken Risotto recipe with roasted carrots and parsnips.
I'm going to try and get a bit more done today, see y'all tomorrow!
 
It's going to be another hot day I think, get my exercising done before it heats up:-

Universal Warmup done,
50 Backfists (EotD) done,
One Step Closer (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 13 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 25 of Cardio done,
Day 6 of Unbound done,
Ankle Recovery done.

Another quiet day of little chores ahead (I've started getting the last of the Housemates things packed away again, and it's still sad), and then I'm making Asparagus and Bacon Flatbreads (Some more leftover veg) for dinner.
See y'all tomorrow!
 
Nice and breezy today, let's wrap up another week of exercising:-

Universal Warmup done,
10+ (Knee) Push-Up Shoulder Taps (EotD) done (I just did the 10),
Harmony (WotD) done,
Day 14 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 26 of Cardio done,
Day 7 of Unbound done,
Sore Feet done.

Yesterday was one of those weird days where I put more effort into avoiding doing the stuff I had to do than it probably would if I'd just done the things.
At least I got a little bit done and dinner was yummy, see y'all tomorrow!
 
Start of a new week:-

Universal Warmup done,
30 Seconds Stretch Hold (EotD) done,
Airborne (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 15 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 27 of Cardio done,
Day 8 of Unbound done,
Ankle Recovery done.

Yesterday went well.
I got plenty done, finished a dot art picture (It's a rainbow cat) and watched The Marvels (Not a bad film but still a very weak entry in the Marvel franchise, it doesn't help that I find Kamala Khan very annoying!).
Monday night volunteering later, so I'm taking it easy today, see y'all tomorrow!
 
Overslept quite a bit this morning (It got really cold during the night, just because I'd packed my duvet away for the summer!), and now I'm quite tired and headachey (Which makes no sense), so just doing a very basic workout to keep my precious streak going:-

Universal Warmup done,
30 Seconds Shoulder Taps (EotD) done,
Sculptor (WotD) done,
Sore Feet done.

I'll try harder next time.
Going grocery shopping later, once the rain calms down, it's Minestrone Soup for dinner, see y'all tomorrow!
 
Got up at the right time today, so I'm only my normal amount of tired, exercise time:-

Universal Warmup done,
30 Get-Ups (EotD) done,
The Climber (WotD) attempted (2 sets. Today's exercises were tough on the old wrists and I couldn't manage another set),
Day 16 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 28 of Cardio done,
Day 9 of Unbound done,
Ankle Recovery done.

Volunteering again today, plus some coursework when I come home, a busy day.
See y'all tomorrow!
 
Up early this morning, because I've got my work experience to get to in a little bit, but first exercises:-

Universal Warmup done,
10 Shrimp Squats (EotD) done (I didn't do them particularly well, but I tried),
Monster Core (WotD) attempted (2 sets. Elbow Planks are hard!),
Day 17 of Momentum done (3 sets. Urgh... A double core day...),
Day 29 of Cardio done,
Day 10 of Unbound done,
Sore Feet done.

Yep, going to be cosplaying as a working person for a little bit today, and then it's Peri Peri Chicken and Rice for dinner (I hope I like Peri Peri stuff, I had to buy quite a big container of seasoning), see y'all tomorrow!
 
Thanks! @AuntPolgara

Very tired this morning, just could not fall asleep last night, going to try and stumble through a few exercises:-

Universal Warmup done,
30 Scorpion Twists (EotD) done,
Best Foot Forward (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 18 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 30 of Cardio done (All finished!),
Day 11 of Unbound done,
Ankle Recovery done.

Yesterday was fun, I was learning how to make fancy coffees (The secret seems to be they're mostly hot milk), let's see what I learn today.
See y'all tomorrow!
 
Thanks! @graoumia @JCU @Obsinosterous @Louve Rose

Not in a rush today, so I can take my time exercising:-

Universal Warmup done,
20 Reverse Crunches (EotD) done,
I Showed Up (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 19 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 1 of Kick Master done,
Day 12 of Unbound done (I think I was actually a bit closer to touching my toes today),
Sore Feet done.

It's getting warm already, but the only job today is this month's Housemate visit, hopefully she's been doing okay.
Then it's Tuna and Pea Pasta for dinner, see y'all tomorrow!
 
Thanks! @Lady Celerity @NightTigress @Fremen

I think it's going to be a hot one again today, getting my exercises done early:-

Universal Warmup done,
10 Cossack Squats (EotD) done,
Glow (WotD) done,
Day 20 of Momentum done (3 sets, I hate core exercises),
Day 2 of Kick Master done,
Day 13 of Unbound done,
Ankle Recovery done.

Yesterday was good, the Housemate was pretty cheerful and mellow, not sure if I just caught her on a good day or if she's actually starting to get used to being in the nursing home. I could've done without every bus I caught still having the heating on for some insane reason though. :soaked:

Today, I've got a volunteers BBQ to go to. Not really my thing, but I've got to work on those social skills.
See y'all tomorrow!
 
Thanks! @Lady Celerity - It was actually quite good, they had nachos!

Urgh... It's getting hot already, better get these exercises out of the way:-

Universal Warmup done,
10 Staggered Deadlifts (EotD) done,
Cardio Stroll (WotD) done (3 sets),
Day 21 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 3 of Kick Master done,
Day 14 of Unbound done,
Sore Feet done.

Gotta get back into the habit of using the set counter, I got really confused so it's possible I did an extra set of everything with sets!

Everything seems to be going okay at the moment (Apart from the heat :tired:), not much to do today, going to see if I can finish my safeguard training and then it's evening volunteering.
See y'all tomorrow!
 
Another hot morning:-

Universal Warmup done,
30 Seconds Butt Kicks (EotD) done,
5 Minute Strength (Replacement WotD) done,
Day 22 of Momentum attempted (2 sets, my arms were too tired for all that Planking),
Day 4 of Kick Master done,
Day 15 of Unbound done,
Ankle Recovery done.

It's a Tuesday volunteering week, so that's my job for the day, see y'all tomorrow!
 
Up early, but I did go to bed early (The warm weather is making me very sleepy) so it all balances out:-

Universal Warmup done,
20 Balance Side Lunges (EotD) done,
Hollow Knight (WotD) attempted (2 sets),
Day 23 of Momentum attempted (2 sets),
Day 5 of Kick Master done,
Day 16 of Unbound done,
Sore Feet done.

Not a particularly successful workout this morning, but it's not even 7am and I'm already hot and worn out. :crawl:

Double whammy of Work Coach meeting and volunteering today, see y'all tomorrow!
 
It's actually kinda cold this morning, don't think it will last, so lets get these exercises out the way:-

Universal Warmup done,
30 Seconds Tree Pose Hold (EotD) done,
Classic Abs (WotD) done (3 sets with Crunches),
Day 24 of Momentum done (3 sets),
Day 6 of Kick Master done,
Day 17 of Unbound done,
Ankle Recovery done.

Double abs day, my poor core!

Penultimate day of Work Experience, plus meeting more Work Coaches, and then Chinese Chicken Curry for dinner.
Been getting back into my reading. At the moment I'm reading my Household RPG books, I don't think I'll ever get the chance to actually use them (The game sounds too dang complicated anyways), but the lore is good.

See y'all tomorrow!
