    No bloating, I just ate too much and moved too little :neutral:
    Luckily, this week is finally (!!) a normal workweek, so it should be easier to keep the routine schedule.
    As for my goals:

    1. Didn't get it, only 55K, so 15K short
    2. Didn't get it either, I barely ate at a deficit this week
    3. This one I did do, luckily !! :smiley:

    So all in all, not doing well, but this is a new and better week! Let's crush this !

    BMI: 22

    MEASUREMENTS
    Stomach: 82cm (32,82") -> 83cm (32,68) ^up 1cm (.5") last month
    Waist: 75cm (29,53") - no movement last month
    Belly/Upperhip: 90cm (35,43") - no movement last month
    Hips: 99cm (38,98") - no movement last month
    Thighs: 58cm (22,83") -> ^up 1cm (.5") last month (up 2cm (1") since November)

    GOALS
    #1 Still working on that actual pull-up/chin-up. I definitely feel I've become stronger yet the full range movement is still (way) out of reach.
    #2 Get back down to my "stable" weight of 66.x kg
    #3 Do IF more conscientiously; I've often ended too soon at 13 or 14 hours instead of the minimum 16.

    2 Jan - 68,7kg (151,46lbs)...
    6 Jan - 68kg (149,91lbs), 7day average
    13 Jan - 67,8kg (149,47lbs), 7 day average
    Well, barely any result last week but I didn't do well with food either so not a surprise. At least IF has been back on track and I'm starting a 48h fast today. It's high time for a firm sugar-craving-reset!

    14 do you do "slow cadence" negative chin/pull ups? They are the one move I found useful in achieving positives chin/ pull ups. I also recommend watching Athlean X tutorial videos on Youtube. Good luck!

    @cayenne_007 nicely done on resisting sweets!
    @Antiopelle YES! Im glad we're in the same boat; this week HAS to go great
    @PearlGrey Yeah, I did isometric holds, negative chin-up, and scapular pull-up (which is just a fancy way of saying a tiny pull-up movement). I now replaced the isometric hold with assisted chin-ups. The rest of my workout routine is also targeted at the muscles necessary for a pull-up: inverted rows, barbell row, dumbbell pull,... The route for me to achieve an actual pull-up seems to be insanely long....

    @I4a_p and @Antiopelle
    I sucked it up and did the initial test for the push up challenge today - I rather want to cry because I've lost so much strength. All I can manage currently is 10, 10, 5....and then I had to go to my knees to do 10 more. BUT - it's day 1, week 1. There's no way I'll complete it in their time frame so my goal is to complete it this year.

    AND today I learned the difference in a pull up and a chin up.... weirdly enough, I don't think I can do a chin up.

    I'm still doing it from the knees, remember? As far as I'm concerned, you are a champ ! :smiley:

    Reading you guys exchanging updates on this is making me want to try as well! I think I'll give this test a chance later. o:)

    Anyway, anyone else having issues finding back their groove? Somehow I feel that returning from the Xmas break is more difficult than coming back from other holidays. With the darkness/short days and after all the December foods, present hunting, family/friends/colleague celebrations,... It's strange to go from full happy-go-merry-energy to full "normal".

    Good to hear from you @jacau ! I was wondering where you were.
    So no panic, we are a few here who are in the same place as you, and we are having a go to a turnaround this week, with positive news next Monday, whether it is a SV or NSV (or a start with the PU challenge :wink: )
