I'm starting tomorrow (today is my friend's wedding!) I tried last year but gotta sick around day 56 then had an overseas trip and when I got back life was busy and I kept meaning to start again but didn't. From tomorrow I have 75 days until we go on a long hike so I don't have space to restart but I want to prove to…

I haven't had the best couple of days. I slipped at work and landed awkwardly hitting both my forehead and shoulder. Despite the big lump on my forehead, I wasn't too worried about concussion. I've had a couple previously and take brain protective supplements now, plus the martial arts training I do has adapted me to…

If the word exercise had negative connotations for you, how about Be active, or Move. I generally talk about training because that suits my lifestyle and within our club we refer to technique or rolling. (I train a grappling martial art). You could just refer to the exact activity you are going to do. My friend only does…

I think I'll switch my personal healthy habit to daily yoga (even 5 minutes counts). I do need to get on the mats regularly but that is hard to score daily and yoga helps me to not get injured when I'm training so I want to get back into the routine of doing a short session every day. 10 minutes daily with occasional long…

My exercise plan includes - strength twice a week - martial arts at least twice a week, this week increase as I build my fitness base back - daily yoga at least 10 minutes with a long session if possible once a week - lunchtime or morning walks or runs depending on my schedule for that day I have a long tough hike planned…

My nutrition plan is simple and similar to those mentioned. I aim for close to but below 2000 calories daily with at least 100g of protein. Higher protein is better but that's my minimal number. I stick to the same amount of calories per day without exercise complicating it as I took in the exercise calories when figuring…

My goals for this are - on the mats twice a week - log all my food - yoga daily - set goals for next year

The healthy habit I need to focus on is getting on the Jiu Jitsu mats at least twice a week. When I'm in routine I'll easily do that and more but my routine hasn't been good for too long now and I'm in the habit of skipping training. I consider this to be a Keystone habit for me, when I get this right, the other healthy…

I'm new and don't really know any of the teams so happy to be assigned wherever.

I went at lunchtime and was surprised at how empty the gym was. Pleasantly surprised because I do prefer less people around, but thought there would be the usual new year commitment.

Can I jump in late? Looking for a new challenge to help me get back into routine and drop a few kgs

Morning training session. My friend broke her plank record by nearly a minute and did 7:15. I didn’t even get to 1:30 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ Afternoon at me friend’s house involved cake of two kinds but otherwise I didn’t eat too much so even though I didn’t log, I didn’t do too badly. Need to get my routines back in place…

I intend to continue as a member of this group so happy to see it continue but currently I’m not getting my current commitments filled properly so can’t sign up for any others. That May change in the future, but I don’t have a time machine to check 🤪🤪🤪 Today’s positive was that even though I considered skipping it, I went…

I’m so off track with logging these days but I know that certain routines are not in place in my life so I need to get back to them. Feeling very frustrated by all the things in my life that are being cancelled due to the next wave of COVID that is hitting a lot closer to home than previous waves. I’m being lazy with my…

Good luck on the new adventures Rick!!! Today I did yoga (for Apple watch badge) because Jiu Jitsu is cancelled due to another batch of Covid cases in the gym. My backup jiu jitsu plan for the week is also unavailable so I'll be doing more yoga etc. Luckily we still have kids classes so I get some mat time. South Africa is…

Crazy day for me. On my way to my beachfront run, my only assistant at work let me know she was feeling feverish so I needed to make another plan as certain tasks cannot be done alone (you can't pen two seals at once and if you do one before the other they will bite you and you can't station the seals while letting the…

Saturday mornings mean all the jiu jitsu plus I walk there and back so exercise was good. I ate reasonably well but was lazy to track so not sure on the calories.
-
Umm, I can't remember if I commented. I didn't log food because we went to a friend for supper. Had loads of fun playing Unstable Unicorns. Exercise was walking around to the shops to meet friends for morning coffee.
-
Walked to the shops and coffee with friends but got lazy and didn’t log. Supper and game evening with friends and went over on calories on the amazing food. On Saturday morning I got a warning from the increased number on the scale which is higher than I like to see by a couple of kgs so hoping it will motivate me to focus…

I used some of my exercise calories today which I normally don’t do but for the first time in a long while, I completed two Jiu Jitsu classes and did a tough day at work (we did a thorough clean of the otter house which meant moving everything and scrubbing all the floors, walls, rocks etc and then putting it all back). I…

Over on calories today but not too much and reasonable choices. Otherwise a good day. Went running earlier than planned because it was such a beautiful morning. Haven’t done a pre sunrise run in a long time and it’s such an amazing experience. Very constructive day at work! Here’s a cute picture of some of my vicious…

Morning training session and then a shopping and admin day with theology course in the evening. I closed my rings and got 10000 steps but didn’t log as I indulged in treats for lunch. My weakness at the moment is shopping. I’m better on days when I don’t buy anything as there are no treats kept in the house. Well,…

Thanks, but this happened 5 years ago. I was cautious and recovered well. I also learnt to fall properly after that to prevent future recurrences as my concussions came from martial arts throws.
-
Great day even though I skipped my morning gym session. I am finding that after COVID my stamina can’t handle work, Jiu Jitsu and gym yet. I still got exercise in (without even counting my busy work day which included scrubbing the terrapin enclosures) because of kids and adults Jiu Jitsu classes! Good food choices which…
-
Good day which started with beachfront run then work. Ate reasonably, all logged and well under.
-
Pass day 3 due to the pizza at my friend’s house. We had a few girls get together to watch fight night (one of our team was fighting). I didn’t even log out because I knew I was over. I did get good exercise in with walking to and from morning training which involved coaching kids and some good take down drills before a…

These days, which include Pre COVID, my trips are usually to compete in a Jiu Jitsu competition so I need to make weight and keep active which means I stick with my normal lifestyle of choosing the healthiest option the majority of the time. It’s even easier when I travel with the team and we all need to make weight, so…

Saw this on my Instagram today and thought I’d share.
