Finished the challenge this week with 2500 swings. Poor Brent had to listen to all my complaining. Every shrinking fat cell was rebelling this week. I rested today and it seems strange not to be swinging right now. Have 16 days remaining to remedy that. :)

Finished the TGUs. Did 250 swings.
I placed a kettlebell in the hallway so whenever I walk by I have to knock out 20 swings. Got a lot of swings done today. :)

6 ladders. Yay!
I think I pressed the 20kg for 23 reps on each side. When fatigued I did the 16kg for a few of the reps.
My arm gave out on the very last rep when I was trying to show Brent so I had to press the very last one with the 16kg.
I'll see how my arms feel tomorrow. :)
I plan to go run a mile in the morning while the family is asleep.

Been a great week of workouts so far. It is nice to have purpose and direction for workouts, despite the busyness of life and especially as we approach the holidays.
I completed 7 ladders this evening and feel great. I had to wear a wrist guard because my forearm is hurting. I seem to usually have a hangup with my left side in the press, but seemed to get in a groove tonight.
Looking forward to another great workout tomorrow. Must be the endorphins talking.…

Still insecure about my presses.
Monday: 5 rounds 20 swings, 20 squats, 20 pushups, 2 minute runs.
little weak on the pushups initially then did a mind game of only counting the reps to 5, 4 times. Some how counting to 5 four times made it possible to do the 20 pushups rather than…

Traveling and good nutrition have proven difficult. Saturday was a nutritional disaster. Had many celebrations for my son winning his tournament events and then visited friends that prepared an unhealthy dinner for us, complete with homemade apple pie. Sabotage!
Was a little better today. Had a special brunch with family and ate a great omelet and fresh fruit. Returned home munching on beef jerky and almonds. Hopefully tomorrow will be better since I am home briefly.
I was able…

Not a great day of eating, mostly munching while driving:
Breakfast: egg and 3 strips of bacon
Lunch: Coconut larabar, banana, turkey and cheese roll-up.
Snacks: 4 pepperoni sticks (spread out over the day), banana, and coconut larabar.
Dinner: Paleo stew
Happy to find a new use for McDonald's. Every 60 miles we could find one close to the interstate. We would stop to stretch and use the bathrooms. I decided to do a circuit at each stop. I was able…
