I walked home from work, according to google maps that's 36 minutes but I carried groceries for the last 15 of those. The weather was nice. I've been feeling bad mentally and physically today and hadn't eaten enough so my actual workout was super rough. First we did a 10 min emom with pull ups on the even minutes and box…

I think I saw 124kg on the scale today. I'll be at my mum's this weekend after not exercising thursday and friday so I'm hoping that'll show the same thing. The scale's lines are so light it's hard to see but it sure looked like it was a whole line above the 125kg one.

Friday at 4.40pm they sent me an email invite to talk to my new employer about the terms of my employment, including pay, today!!! I only saw it this morning when I started up my laptop and I am NERVOUS. I've never done this before so I hope they're nice to me. Whatever happens my pay will go up but the question is by how…

I did beat swings on the pull up rack for the first time the other day and my kipping knee raises were looking good, though my grip can't sustain my body weight for more than 5 reps (275lbs). I wanna be able to do 10 kipping knee raises in a row and 10 beat swings in a row and also work up to 3 kipping high knee raises. I…

I forgot to post but I did an hour of pilates, which was pretty intense because we were holding positions for a long time and my weight is heavy so it was like planking but easier on your back and abs and harder on the arms. Then I did half my back routine. I expected to do more but I woke up 30min before pilates class so…

For anyone who wants some inspiration: https://www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/sizzling-japanese-tofu~9moM3LTdp one of my favourite recipes that's easy to make vegetarian. Just swap the meat for more mushrooms. I'm not big on tofu but I loooooove it in this dish. You can use lower-sodium soy sauce if this seems too salty.…

It's so frustrating to see people losing inches everywhere when it's such slow progress for me so I have to remind myself some people are short so the same weightloss will have bigger impact on someone smaller. It still baffles me when somone 60lbs lighter than me wears the same size. I don't know why it's so hard to…

In my head, oil and butter had fewer calories than they do and every other food had way more. Also I learnt that I cannot eyeball amounts at all. But mostly my problem was the amount of cookies, cakes, ice cream and other such things I ate, which I fixed before I started tracking my food by teaching myself to eat more…

Turns out I don't have a clue how to post a picture off my phone. The add picture button does not work. Oh well, I'll try again from my laptop maybe. Oh yeah, my weight was 125,5 or 126kg today. I couldn't see super clearly but it was somewhat below the 125kg line. I think the main reason for it was I slept in late. My…

@KeriA that's exactly what I think about myself. If I wasn't pushed to diet all throughout my childhood and teens, when I was slightly overweight (like 5kg maybe) but swimming 3-4 hours a week and cycling everywhere for about 13-16+ hours each week, I would not have had such a horrible relationship with food for so long…

Yesterday I had a work bbq and I had to walk less than I expected but we did play jeu de boulles for an hour 😂 it was a lot of fun. I walked maybe 30 min total so I'm considering it a rest day. Today I did 20 power snatches at 25kg (touch-and-go but not unbroken), 200m running, 30 kipping knee raises, 200m running, and 20…

Recently I wrote down my new measurements and compared them to my starting point ones and it was eye-opening. So today I was feeling slimmer so I tried on some old jeans. One pair I couldn't get all the way over my legs because my calves are too thick 😂 so that was a bust. But the other pair in the same size with wider…

I didn't feel bad last night but I don't feel great now and I'm generally having a bit of an off day. I did buy new PJs that look super cute so I'll work on editing aome photos so I don't doxx myself and show some to this group sometime this week. @karilbrandt I didn't know it was in many pain relievers, mostly because…

My legs look very skinny today compared to other days but more muscled too ánd my biceps are sticking out when I'm not flexing so my brain is very confused. No idea what I look like right now. The scale was down to 126kg again today, from 128kg yesterday after the training. I started weighing myself more and posting my…

Today was a lesson in restraint as the group was doing a fun workout and I was doing my back routine but I spiced it up by adding more bike. And by spiced up I mean made it even more boring. But I do feel my quads now so hey. Tomorrow's a forced day off with maybe some walking and friday's workout looks pretty awful but…

Totally, it's fascinating to see written out how others think and how they reached those conclusions. Definitely feel like I understand you better now

@ninerbuff I don't disagree that some people could work harder and/or achieve more than they think they could. I'm just saying trying harder isn't the only thing that matters and isn't going to make everyone's life better. I actually really like how @Lietchi explained it. Because of it I realised I was arguing for…

I've been feeling sick at night for a few days, mostly headaches and some nausea, and it sucks because this never used to happen. There are two things I can try. I've been using electrolyte tablets recently because I've been sweating more than usual during workouts (my intensity has been about the same but the weather got…

This sounds like nice pull yourself by the bootstraps rhetoric of if only you work hard enough you'll succeed. But a lot of it is just up to luck. I'm not of the belief that everything is predetermined but we don't have 100% freedom and control over the outcomes. I've watched people work themselves to death and not get…

I overdid it during the chief yesterday so I decided to "take it easy" today. And I did take it fairly easy at the 10 min emom of 2 parallel squat power snatches. I built up to about 70% of my 1RM but my 1RM is outdated and limited by fear. Then we went for a heavy single snatch balance + overhead squat. The coach wanted…

Listen to the commenters. Weight fluctuation is normal. If you're reallly bothered, you can get one of those apps that give you your weight trends. My weight can fluctuate by as much as 15lbs if I exercised, got my period and ate something salty. Doesn't mean I gained a bunch of fat.

@NoNameWonder unless you've been eating in a surplus, the lowest weight you've seen is it. The scale can always show something higher due to water or waste but it can't show something lighter. You didn't suddenly lose a kidney or something right before you stepped on the scale, trust the low. My weight can fluctuate by as…

The scale said 126,5kg before my workout. That's fine. The Chief kicked my butt but it was good. Tabatha after, also pretty good. Now dinner and bed

Too tired to explain, we did The Chief

The Chief is super well-balanced, with pull, push and legs in one and you can decide how hard you wanna go. The RX is real push ups off the floor (which I absolutely cannot do) and 45kg power cleans for women (which I can do but don't wanna do in a cardio workout, which is basically what this is). I'm a little slow at any…

I was feeling skinny so I decided to measure myself. My hips including my butt measure 126cm. My hips right below my butt measure 123cm! My last measurement was 128cm but I can't remember if that was below or including my butt. I also finally lost off my chest 😂 down to 114cm from 118cm. Compared to the 6th of march this…

Weighed in at 126kg this morning after my workout. That's 4kg less than 15 hours before. Normal fluctuation for me but still kinda shocking to see. The workout was fantastic and seemed tailored to my situation. It had only things I can still do despite my back and ankle. Loved it. I am having a bad food day in that I…

I feel so good about my consistency today. First we had an oly aspect with barbell cycling. 3 rounds of 10-8-6-4-2 power snatches (hang power snatches for me) with 30 sec rest between sets and 3 min rest between rounds. You go up in weight every round. I did empty 15kg bar, 20kg, 25kg. After this week's ring rows, my arms…

Actually that's not what you're "supposed" to say at all. You're supposed to listen to the person who will tell you what they prefer. To some, saying 'autistic person' is insulting, to others saying 'person with autism' is insulting. From what I've seen, person-first language (so person with X) is being pushed on people by…

We did an every 5 minutes for 4 rounds of 15 alternating db snatches (I did hang snatches at 12,5kg because of my back), 10m front rack walking lunges (I did 10 db front squats with 7,5kg on each side, pretty light), 12 pull ups/ring rows, 10m front rack walking lunges and 15 alternating db snatches. It went really well…
