I'll join. :nod:

Goal: Have three weight-training sessions a week. It's really really cold outside. It's also icy, windy and there's a lot of snow. I know I'll probably try to talk myself out of going to the gym. This challenge will help.
I'm going to add on to my goals. Since I train first thing in the morning, I tend to lift completely fasted. My second goal is to eat one piece of fruit within ten minutes of waking up. I will do this on non-training days as well in order to build the habit.
OK. As of December 15th, I'm home for the holidays. I no longer have to train in the morning and I usually have at least a few meals in me before I lift so the second part of my goal is somewhat void.

December 1st: went to the gym
December 2nd: off
December 3rd: off
December 4th: went to the gym
December 5th: off. Ate an apple
December 6th: ate an apple, went to the gym
December 7th: off, ate an apple
December 8th: off, Workout moved to Saturday
December 9th: Had a full breakfast, lifted
December 10th: off, breakfast
December 11th: off, Workout moved to Tuesday due to finals :(
December 12th: Went to the gym in the rain. I ran out of fruit and forgot to pick up something to eat in the morning. I ended up having some honey PREWO. :o
December 13th: Ate a fruitcup, Lifted
December 14th:Off
December 15th: off
December 16th: lifted
December 17th: off
December 18th: Lifted
December 19th: off
December 20th: Lifted
December 21st: off
December 22nd: Lifted
December 23rd: Off
December 24th: Had a pretty horrible workout. I'll count it as a quarter workout.
December 25th: off
December 26th: off

December 27th:

Glad to have you here, George. :nod:

I've already almost skipped a couple meals, but then I thought of this thread and went off to eat. :tucool:

I lost about 2.5 hours of sleep last night because of my roommate and his friends. I woke up today, stood there looking out the window at the snow and contemplated skipping my workout. Then I remembered this challenge and off to the gym I went. :bb:

9:30 AM! :eek:

This challenge helps me remember what day it is.

Me too. :lol: Yah, that was fuck early for me! :bang: I have class then on TU/TH next quarter though. :eek:

I could never get up and lift early like you do. Respekt! :tucool:

I tend to have a problem skipping stretching daily, both dynamic and static. I'm in.




December 8: No morning dynamic stretching (before I found this), but I did static passive stretch after lifting

December 9: I worked in the morning, so I didnt have time for dynamic stretching. I lightly passive stretched after a light workout, I restructured my torso stretches.

December 10: Morning dynamic stretches, passive stretching post-lifting.

December 11: Finals

December 12: Finals- Off day

December 13: Finals- Passive stretching post lifting- I hurt my back lifting, I lightly stretched worst area- Also stretching torso, and hamstrings.

December 14: Passive stretching, whole body (light on hamstrings)

December 15: Heavy passive stretching post lifting

December 16: Light passive stretching

December 17: Light passive (had a nice PWO massage as well), right hamstring is feeling iffy- I'm laying off dynamic stretching for a few days

December 18: Stretching post-lifting

December 19: Off day

December 20: Passive, Post lifting

December 21: I worked all day and was beat tired. No dynamic (having groin problems). Passive Stretching.

December 22: Went to Erie, Left as soon as I got done lifting- no stretching

Oh wow, I always thought you were way older than 21. You look like you have a number of training years under your belt. :nod:
Good luck on your finals as well!

anfeyd, update!

chic, eat something before midnight! :spaz:

Sorry Chic, been extremely busy- for this I am taking myself out of this competition for 3 days as my edited post says. Thats what I get for cramming for finals. - After that I will have more time, and use this thread as continued motivation :tucool:

I had two pieces of Stouffer's French Bread Pizza hot out of the oven -- 880 calories. I'll probably eat something else later too.

// Cramming :nono:

The Legend of Zelda has consumed my life :( . However, I'm still doing good on the passive stretching. Now that schools out, dynamic stretching will return to the equation.

Hey, I'll be gone skiing from the 23-26. I think there's a gym at the place I'm staying so I'll try to get my lifting session in on Monday. :bb:

This challenge sucks. :lol: I needed it at school, but now that I've been home for weeks for break it's very annoying to have to log meals. I don't want to not finish what I started though. :)

Indeed. :nod: I would be interested in starting another one up once the spring semester is here, however. (January 8th for me)

You guys are doing great, don't give up on the challenge! It's almost over and you've all got perfect scores so far:tu: Let me know if you guys start one up next term I may hop on.

I'm out with a hamstring problem. I'm stopping all dynamic stretching (minus arm swings, and some trunk stretches). Same goes for passive stretching to the lower body. I didnt think this challenge would motivate me much, but it did. The month is almost over so hopefully you guys can finish it out :tucool:

What's the hamstring problem? I ended up with an injury to one of my mine as well last winter when I was attempting to get the splits as well.

Well I started having hamstring problems when I did get the splits last year sometime. I can't remember the exact spot, but it would only agrivate me when I did attempt front splits. I just stopped trying them and layed off, then it went away.

Earlier this year, somtime in the summer, I think I injured it tricking. The pain subsided, but I don't think the injury totally went away. Lately its been feeling 'weird', but I really couldnt pinpoint the spot. Due to a car ride (2 hours), the spot where it hurt really intensified and tightened up. The region is right below the glute, in the upper semimembranosus/semitendinosus region.

I forgot to mention that there is what feels like pain in my hip joint, on the same leg. Its aggrivated if i'm in a horse-riding stance.

Ah, I've never had pain there. My injury was at the base of the hamstring at the knee. Flexing the muscle was okay but any sort of stretch would give me pain -- just a plain old overstretch, I think.
