What are your health / fitness goals? Accountability

That's the spirit!

 

Wow, this is powerful. I'm so glad that you did this deep, hard, mental work. It really isn't easy, but it has transformed your entire life.
I have also been working on my mental game and mindset. Deep breathing, prayer, mindfulness, meditation. I'm thankful that healing is possible.

 

Thank you for being here, Meat. It's nice to have this place to check in and catch up!

 

I have a lot of fun checking into SM and especially this thread. Without fitness there is no surviving, nope.

 

2 and 0. No subs but I smashed pretty well. 11 to 0 and then 13 to 0. Maybe I’ll post a pic or two.

 

A big super congrats to ya ,,, hope your health issues are done with for a quite a good while,,

 

Great job!!!! Sounds like wins to me. Yes, post pics!

 

This was immediately after my takedown so I was looking for control here. Pressure is my game so…Lol

 

This looks brutal! Such an awesome action shot. Great job. Did you celebrate afterwards?

 

Yup, Chik-Fil-A. Yum.

 

My #1 SIL and I were both promoted to purple belt this morning. This was his thing so when I was thinking of joining I asked him if he’d care, lol. Special day for sure.

 

Very nice!

 

Congratulations! This is a special day. It's great that you both started and stuck with it!

 

I've been feeling a little under the weather this week so I've been resting (and doing a lot of interior painting). Still going for long walks and gardening. Hope you are all having a wonderful week!
I'm currently reading:

• "The Shining" by Stephen King I watched the movie for the first time over a decade ago and always wanted to read the book. After I finish reading it I'm going to watch the movie again. It's so good. Jack Torrance's new job at the Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start. As the off-season caretaker at the atmospheric old hotel, he'll have plenty of time to spend reconnecting with his family and working on his writing. But as the harsh winter weather sets in, the idyllic location feels ever more remote...and more sinister. And the only one to notice the strange and terrible forces gathering around the Overlook is Danny Torrance, a uniquely gifted five-year-old.

What are you currently reading or listening to?

 

This last weekend was relaxing and I was able to get a lot of steps. It felt good to rest and still be active. We also got some much-needed rain.
Today I'm bringing back the weights and hoping to stick with a routine for at least the next 10 weeks. Wish me luck!
What are your plans for the week?

 

I'm really enjoying my new workout routine! If I can stick with this for 10 weeks then I will book an optional trip. Optional because we can travel anytime, but haven't gotten ourselves to do it because we still hate flying :/. We even hired full time cat / chicken sitters for the last two months, but only traveled within the island twice. Maybe if I incentivize it then it will happen.

Monday: Total Body
Tuesday: Glutes
Wednesday Total Body
Thursday: Shoulders
Friday: Total Body
Saturday: Core
Sunday: Rest
Right now I have a 30 inch waistline and my goal is to get to 24 inches. Wish me luck!
I love planting my seeds on Good Friday every year so that's what I'll be doing tomorrow. Happy Holy Week everyone!
Do you have Easter plans?

 

I’m on call but the plan is to go to my oldest daughter’s house for Easter. She’s the one with the farm stand and makes the best sourdough bread and etc ever! She’s also the one that beat me easily in the family 10k. Ouch.

 

Happy Easter! I hope you'll have a wonderful time with your daughter. Enjoy some delicious sourdough! That sounds amazing!

 

I've been struggling to find motivation these last two days and I blame the heat and the time of month...
Guess what? I did it! Yesterday was a total body workout and today's workout was exceptionally hard, but I just finished it.
Happy Easter everyone!

 

I killed another little boar yesterday and went through the PITA that is removing the hair by scald and scrape.

Today I will chop it up and render all the fat and muscle. I'll cook the whole thing down until the meat is done and lard rendered.

I just started "Land of Hope", by Wilfred McClay.
