Default 61 DC Thorns and Roses - Week 8

Since Newman is offline until they get the fiber optic situation in his city straightened out, I thought I'd go ahead and start the week 8 thread.

We're in the home stretch folks - 8 More days!!!!

Thorn: There is no way I am going to make my weight loss goal for the challenge unless I use a knife.

Roses: I have had a great time reading folks logs and I have managed to lose some weight during a time that I typically would have gained a few # or stayed the same. June and July are like party central here for Birthdays, Parties and Festivals. Now I have State Fair coming up. Now that is a challenge.

Thorn: My arm hurts. I feel like I strained something. Not serious, but enough to lay off the pressing for a bit.

Rose: I'm back on track with the eating. I'm feeling a bit leaner than my best, so progress is being made. My week off didn't do as much damage as I thought, I guess.

I purchased Ross Enemait's Infinite Intensity, so just need to wait for it. I've enjoyed this style of workout. They really kick my butt. I'm ready for more butt kicking and fat loss, ASAP.

Although, I didn't win the SFM Challenge between L'ilJ and TKinsley, I did get stronger and had a great time.

Wow, only eight days to go? I still have a lot of stuff to accomplish by then.

Thorn: I know it sounds wussy, but my motivation has really been lagging. I know what I need to do, but I just don't feel like doing it most of the time.

Like Greg, I won't make the weight loss goal without a knife or some other drastic measure.

Rose: Hmmm... can't think of any right now.

Thorn - Driving to work is costing me more than I thought it would (roughly $125 per month)

Rose - The job seems fairly decent plus I enjoy listening to my audio books/fitness podcasts in the car (a bit of me time).

Ordered afterburn from AC yesterday so hopefully get that by the end of the challenge. Looks as though i reached the 'get a new job' portion of my aim but will miss out on the weight/bodyfat one

thorns - slacking on the clean eating, and the lifting.

roses - half marathon training going well - did 6 miles on Sunday. Furthest distance so far.

dangit, dangit, dangit. all thorns this time. got my bike back, doing good with nutrition, then saturday, i felt kinda blah, so i rested most of the day, then sunday, i felt like i'd been hit by a truck. i have strep throat, i cam e into work today to get a few neccessary things done, like update my log and check in but i'll prob be leaving early today. i've been having the strangest dreams, where i'm being held down, and there are hundreds of people all around me whacking me with poles, not hard, just like, irritating little thwacks. my wife says i'm thrashing around and yelling in my sleep to get away from me. i woke up this morning, and she was on the couch, becasue she said she was afraid i was gonna hit her. it is the weirdest freaking dream, and i have it several times a night, then i wake up, and i'm sore all over my body. on top of that, we're having 90 degree temperatures, and i'm freezing my butt off. i went out and sat on our back porch yesterday with three blankets wrapped around me, before i could finally quite shivering. i hate being sick, but, this might be the end of the line for me, depending on how long it takes to get healed up. one good thing though,m nutrition is perfect, wife is making nothing but chicken or beef and vegetable soups (real, not canned) cause that's all i can swallow. but zero exercise, cause moving hurts. alright, hopefully, i'll get back on track before the very end and get something done.

WOW!! Everyone seems to be having a bit of a downer time!!

Thorn: Probably won't make my exercise goals. Things are taking a bit of time to settle in up here in NH ... I am much more tired than when I was at home. I attribute this to not sleeping as well since we are all in the same bedroom although most nights I am getting the required amount of sleep. So I've been resting more and exercising less, which is what I'm supposed to do according to my doctor (because of the adrenal fatigue).

Roses: I also won't make my weight goal because my hormones are SO out of whack, so I dropped that portion of my personal goal at Roland's advice since it is due to a medical condition and not me slacking!! I should make my nutrition goal as that at least is going well. My sleep goal/ski goal should also be reached. And I already did my competition. Oh, I also finished the latest Harry Potter book last night.

Thorns: Lots of stressors between work, going home, and just trying to get stuff done.

Roses: decided that diet does not need to be one of the things stressing me out. And I've met my carrying lunch requirement for the challenge.

An exercise motivator of sorts.

interesting little blurb i found in my wife's Women's health magazine. "48 hours after exercising, your body begins converting a similar number of calories that you burned at your last workout into fat," not an exact quote and i don't even know how true it is, but it gets the idea across.

So remember that when you think about skipping a workout!!!

Roses: I met my goal for 150lb lean weight. I am really surprised to reach this goal considering I have a hard time with weight gain.


Thorns: It's going to be a lot closer than it should be on meeting my workouts. I think it will come down to the last day. I should have taken more measures in the beginning instead of procrastinating. Work is really getting to me. Lately I have been sitting there doing nothing all day. It's miserable. What's worse is I have to look busy instead of being able to surf the internet or do something else.

Overall though I am doing well. Hey Lost Dog, what was that bodyweight workout book you got? I wanted to look into that. I may try something like that in the near future.

Yep. That's the one I was talking about. Thanks for the reply. I may look into getting that soon. I need to change my routine in the next week or two.

Thanks again.

Thorn, won't make workout goals due to changing my workout plan and illness for a few days when I could have still made it up perchance.

Rose, PR in the gym last night.

Roses: Did way better on the snatch grip DLs, Inclined T-Push Ups and the beginners inverted rows than I expected last night. Next workout I get to drop reps and up weights again!

Thorns: My arms feel like they are going to fall off this morning. and I realized that I forgot to put some stuff into fitday last night so I overshot calories for the day by a bunch.

Thorns: came home from a great vacation Saturday eight pounds heavier than I left.

Roses: got my competition in, Mason Dixon 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament. Lost 6 of the 8 lbs by Wednesday.
