Recovery 10 lunch time
Recovery 11 lunch time
AoSCE 5 snuck in during the lecture
Secret Santa Gift for Anek Snuck in on the break before meeting up with my group to do the activity for tomorrow morning. Hey that was nice! I meditated 5 minutes without needing a guided program. I might be regretting this later when I do the squats for Epic Glutes.
I promise, my training isn't that boring, but my concentration was slipping in the afternoon.
Epic Five 21 Yup, that was as bad as I thought it would be, though not for the reasons I thought. Tight thighs.
Knee Push-ups 7
Cardio Go! 2
Epic Glutes 4 + 1 extra set
Five Minute Plank 12 (superman day!)
Epic Arms 16

Okay, time to eat dinner. Then do the discussion board I have to do for homework.

So, I had to go fix all the numbers for my check ins. Because on a hunch, I asked how many days since 14 October and it was 87. I was off by like 4 days or something. (I already fixed the numbers so I don't remember.) So hey, that's exciting!!
Today's Wins: (87 days)
First Thing Journalling
First Thing Water ==maintenance mode==
Epic Arms 16 during morning session 'cause of needing to pay attention
26 knees strikes at lunch so that I could gift some to Mianevem, 'cause birthday!
AoSCE 6 afternoon session, I am listening to a lecture on active listening... so much fun!
...homework is thought provoking, but tedious...
...fell down rabbit hole looking at meal plans...
Okay, back to business!
Zen 18 I tried for the whole 15 minutes. I started with a guided meditation, but couldn't get into it. Switched to rain sounds, which worked yesterday and still couldn't settle.
Five Minute Plank 13 (2m) - 1m50s
Knee Push-ups 8
Quick Warmup Workout because better late than never
Total Burn 25 lvl 3
Jumping jacks kicked my butt today. Knee is starting to twinge bit.
Recovery 12
Epic Glutes 5 + 1 extra set lower back says "no, please"
CoS 15 Will update if done.
Walkabout 11 (4,558/9,000)
Homework book: 14% Complete
Current Goal: Focus down on Total Burn & Epic Five to complete them.
List of active programs:
Epic Five (21/31)
Total Burn (25/30)
Hero's Journey (4/60) Stalled, but also I've already earned this one. I am considering dropping for now. There's too many programs I haven't done and I haven't really worked on it in the past month (I think it's been a month).
Zero Hero (12/30)
Cardio Go! (2/30) I enjoy this and I do like that it has been helping me out with Walkabout.
Zen (18/30) Been stalled, going to finish it out.
Arms of Steel Chair Edition (6/30) Too easy, but I'll finish it out.
Not going to start anything new until I clear at least three of these out. Not counting Recovery because I will finish that up in the morning and not counting Hero's since I am eliminating it for now.
Sigh, still over a month out until I have my appointment with my doctor. I really need to get back on M about eating more homecooked meals for dinner and get us back on track with meal prepping. Because, until I can get in to see my doctor (because I am suspecting my thyroid at this point), the missing link to losing weight has to be meals( and besides, we haven't recovered to pre holiday state yet). I know that overall, I am still making better meal choices now than I was a year ago, but I also know that we have to be better on less cheat nights. Also, a real struggle is keeping on track with meals on the weekend. I think that like with working out, I am going to just have to lead the change and he'll have to follow along. (Though that really isn't working for working out. He still hasn't put together the workout bench he had me get him last month. It's still in the box. I put it at the end of the hallway so that he sees it multiple times a day, to avoid the "out of sight, out of mind" mindset.)

Hell'o,
Wow what a nice log!
I hope you'll do well on all the challenge/program you do, this looks quite a lot.
Meal preps is one of the best things that changed my way to eat and helped me a lot.
Wish you all the best for your health.

Recovery Review
Okay, this program was actually awesome. When I was feeling feeble from being sick, this was just enough to get me moving without overloading me. Got super easy once I felt better, but it was a great chance to do some breathing exercises and get a little movement when I seriously contemplated none. Will reuse in future.

First Thing Journalling no, but I did do my prompt at lunch
First Thing Water ==maintenance mode==
Five Minute Plank 13 (2m) YEAH!!!!! 
Quick Warmup Workout
...taped my knee...
Epic Five 22 Made it epic. I made three real pushups, then had to modify down for the rest. I replaced bicep extensions with punches. I've been procrastinating from doing this one because of the pushups.
Knee Push-ups 10
...retaped my knee because the basic KT tape sucks...
Total Burn 27 lvl 3 noticed I've been standing a bit too wide on squats.
AoSCE 8
Zero Hero 13 lvl 2 Plank punches didn't feel right, so I checked it out in the video library.
Okay, I was hugging the floor after the plank punches. Definitely focusing my core and arms today.
CoS 16 ==maintenance mode== should have had this here all along. Oh well, not feeling like fixing it.
Epic Arms 18
Epic Glutes 6 + 1 extra set
Walkabout 12 (8,011/5,000)
Homework book: 14% Complete
... When you re-learn that you do 10-counts wrong... Yup, that was me today while looking through programs. Though, I guess I get more out of it by doing my 4 counts (1-2-3-1, 1-2-3-2,...). Oh well, guess I'll keep being stubborn and re-forget that I do them wrong.
I've been looking at programs to decide what I want to do next, once I clear out Epic Five, Total Burn, and then one more. I'm torn between Pathfinder, Pathfinder+, Spartan Trials, or something with combat. I want to get back into doing combat regularly (way back when, I did Tae Kwon Do twice a week and fenced twice a week), but it's been hard. Maybe I'll start instituting a twice-a-week combat page so that I can start warming up towards a combat program? Things to think about.
Okay, time to go figure out dinner and start looking at this big self-assessment they want us to do for the week
and maybe some video games. 
Hang in there Bees and have a good one!

Maybe I'll do some steps when I fast travel or something. I'm not expecting to make Walkabout today, but I'm accepting that that is okay.
Going to fence in the morning!!

54 hooks *increased by one for even numbers per side

Phew, honestly, wasn't planning on a whole second workout.

Today's Wins: (93 days)
Journalling
First Thing Water ==maintenance mode==
Rest day (as mandated by the internet overlords and the simple fact that I needed to get my homework done. Yup, earned that procrastination award.)
Gaming microworkout (because I wanna keep my streak) - Frontiers of Pandora (Yay, can still play games offline)
4 Bellsprig + 3 Tarsyu -> 70 alternating bicep curls (5lb)
13 New locations -> 130 step jacks
12 RDA encounters -> 120 hooks
110 Clan contributions -> 110 weighted punches (5lb) (Yup, I guess I contributed 110 items to the clans. Inventory space is tightly controlled in this game.)
9 Dapophet used -> 90 flutterkicks
2 Deaths -> 40 reverse calf raises
Homework book: 55% (enough to answer all the questions)
Since I now have internet again - cut fiber line, they took 10 hours to diagnose and lay new line. I couldn't even use data because it was bogged down by practically half the town being without internet. I barely got my homework turned in around 2100 because people started going to bed and not using all the data.
I did write it up earlier, and then I typed it up so that I could just copy paste it in, and then I got scared that it wouldn't come back so I freaked out and did it on my phone. Then the internet comes back 15 minutes after I was finished typing it in on my phone, which wasn't so bad because I have a bluetooth keyboard that I was able to connect to my phone. That was frustrating. Now I'm back on because I couldn't go to sleep because I was afraid that it didn't submit, but it did. And I figured while I was here, I would check in with all you lovely people.
So yeah, weird holiday day. Hopefully I'll be back to regularly scheduled programming tomorrow. 
I am prepared, I have the dial in phone number, so I can still make it to lecture. Okay, gotta sleep. 
Hang in there Bees and have a good one!
Today's Wins: (93 days)
Journalling First Thing Water ==maintenance mode==Rest day (as mandated by the internet overlords and the simple fact that I needed to get my homework done. Yup, earned that procrastination award.)
Gaming microworkout (because I wanna keep my streak) - Frontiers of Pandora (Yay, can still play games offline)
4 Bellsprig + 3 Tarsyu -> 70 alternating bicep curls (5lb)
13 New locations -> 130 step jacks
12 RDA encounters -> 120 hooks
110 Clan contributions -> 110 weighted punches (5lb) (Yup, I guess I contributed 110 items to the clans. Inventory space is tightly controlled in this game.)
9 Dapophet used -> 90 flutterkicks
2 Deaths -> 40 reverse calf raises
Homework book: 55% (enough to answer all the questions)
Since I now have internet again - cut fiber line, they took 10 hours to diagnose and lay new line. I couldn't even use data because it was bogged down by practically half the town being without internet. I barely got my homework turned in around 2100 because people started going to bed and not using all the data.
I did write it up earlier, and then I typed it up so that I could just copy paste it in, and then I got scared that it wouldn't come back so I freaked out and did it on my phone. Then the internet comes back 15 minutes after I was finished typing it in on my phone, which wasn't so bad because I have a bluetooth keyboard that I was able to connect to my phone. That was frustrating. Now I'm back on because I couldn't go to sleep because I was afraid that it didn't submit, but it did. And I figured while I was here, I would check in with all you lovely people.

I'm glad you got your Internet back in time to get your work submitted!
It's scary how much we rely on a technology that didn't even exist when I was a child!

I didn't grow up in them... but I miss those old days. Life was simpler then.
Even I wasn't a technologically-obsessed kid. We had TV, but I preferred drawing or playing outside with the ten feral cats we fed.

"Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities... because it is the quality which guarantees all others."
Thanks, me too! I was sweating it all afternoon.
Growing up, my parents did a decent job of limiting our computer usage by mostly having educational games available, keeping the computer in the main room of the house and making us share it. We hardly used the internet and TV was actually somewhat boring, because we were only allowed to watch two channels. So, I spent a ton of time reading and drawing and playing outside.

Journalling
First Thing Water ==maintenance mode==
AoSCE 12 ...during class...
Five Minute Plank 16 (2m 40s) That was close. I almost didn't make it. 
Quick Warmup Workout
Total Burn 30 lvl 3
AoSCE 13 lvl 3
Knee Push-ups 14
Epic Arms 22
Cardio Go! 3
This was a terrible, ADHD impulse driven idea. I feel fine though...and I'm much closer to making Walkabout for the day...
Epic Five 24 ugh, I know I need to do more lower body strength. This was horrible.
Epic Five 25 broke into one set of 2m and two of 1m30s.
Epic Glutes 9 + 1 extra set
Walkabout 14 (8,780/10,000)
Big sigh, guess what... I've got a whole new pile of homework. I think I forgot how bad condensed classes were in school. I'm going to eat dinner and get to it. I already spent a little longer working out than I originally planned. Yup procrastinating from said homework. Oh well! It'll be okay, I'm just whining because I didn't expect this much!

@MadamMeow @Laura Rainbow Dragon Thank you!!
Post homework update:
Eye of the Tiger Workout lvl 1 I needed some punches while thinking of answers - it worked.
Some small dancing to good music. Not a lot, tired legs, but it was enjoyable.

Other good thing, I got out of the house today for the first time since Saturday, so that was also very nice. Found new book at the store on my trip, so that was good too.

Evening Update:
Gaming microworkout totals - Frontiers of Pandora
11 Bellsprig + 3 Tarsyu -> 140 alternating bicep curls (5lb)
11 New locations -> 110 step jacks
7 RDA encounters -> 70 hooks
50 Clan contributions -> 50 weighted punches (5lb)
7 Dapophet used -> 70 flutter kicks
1 Deaths -> 20 reverse calf raises & 20 calf raises
6 Aeolian Wind Flutes (4 from quest) + 3 Kite + 1 Memory Painting -> 100 knee to elbows
9 Feral Encounters -> 90 Front kicks
5 Fast Travel -> 500 high knees
2 Direhorse rides + 10 Ikran flights -> 240 high knees
+ an excel sheet to help me keep better track than just my crazy scribbles on my little whiteboard.
Lol, *used* to do tons of high knees. These weren't hard at all. I think that Epic Five just made it seem bad because it was five minutes straight and un warmed up and there were full burpees every 30 seconds.
