Rumbas

4/4. 2 times to the gym, one afternoon doing rollerblades and yesterday a round of golf carrying the bag weighing 40 lbs. Pretty good work out :)

QuoteI think you should get a pass considering the circumstance

Thanks, but part of my inconsistency these past two years has been due to continually doing stupid things like this. No consequences = no learning! It was fricken idiotic to ski off something where I couldn't see the landing and I even said so to myself just before the accident. I remember thinking something like "who are you trying to impress?" (nobody was watching anyway - I was bringing up the rear).  Slow learner.

Anyway, feeling much better. It was like no progress for one week and then suddenly 50% of the pain was gone in a day this weekend. So I don't think I've done anything too stupid and expect to make my four this week.

Drastic

Wow, ergo, glad you're doing much better, spine injuries are rough.

I had an unplanned dismount from the Yamaha on Friday, landing on my head. I quite thoroughly tested out the new helmet and neck brace. Lower back got strained I think due to hyperextending when I flipped, but I pushed through and kept riding and went back Sat. I laid around yesterday to get back to around 95% today.

5/5

ergophobe

Wow! That sounds like a narrow escape. Thank God you're okay.

Sorry for the late update.

3/5 for me the week just gone.


Drastic

No sweat saint.

So, since we're about to wrap this commitment up, is anyone interested in another? I'm thinking 8 or 9 weeks which would take us to the end of May, without interfering with summer.

I just got down to 206 (and change) today, which is the lightest I can remember. I probably haven't been this weight for 15 years or more, so I'm motivated to keep at it.

Who's with me?

Rumbas

>Who's with me?

Count the Viking in!

littleman

I'm glad you are ok Dras, that sounds like it could have been serious.  Also, congrats on 206!

I'm in for round two.

thesaintv12

While I have not been as good as I could have been during this, I am in on the next round.  However, I will be rethinking my routine to match the madness life is putting my way right now.

Sorry to hear about the accidents ergo and dras.  Hope you are both back at 100% before too long.


Drastic

Round 2 starts up in less than 2 weeks. This session will run for 9 weeks, right after the current session.

Dates - April 1 through June 1

Post your weekly commitment by end of Friday, March 30.

Currently committed to round 2:
Rumbas - 4 days
littleman - 4 days
thesaintv12 - 4 days
Drastic - 5 days
ergophobe - 4 days
jetboy - 5 days

The setup:
Commit to X number of workouts or exercise sessions per week, post that in this thread before March 31.
Post weekly in this thread, by end of Monday for previous weeks' success.

The rules (same as before):
No "banking" of extra workouts to put towards future weeks.
No make up sessions for missed workouts from previous weeks.
Workout week is Mon-Sun. This allows a full business week plus weekend for makeup if needed.
You determine what an exercise session is, but it should constitute the same cardio and/or strength training as a regular workout.

Those who have already committed, I put the same number of days that you had for round 1. No problem if you want to change that, just post what your new commit is.

ergophobe

I'm in for 4/week.

Ran two miles (slowly) and did 100 pushups and some stretching. I think I'm ready to start exercising again.

thesaintv12

I am in for 4 workouts/week for round 2.  Frankly with everything I have on it is going to be tricky, but I like it that way and will put my money in the pot.

littleman

Are we reporting for this week or is this the lull in between where no one is checking in?    Anyway... 4/4.
