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. :)

Still hanging in there. Finished all my TGUs at 1866 for swings this week.

B:scrambled egg with jalapeno, onions, garlic, and peppers and ham slice

L: salmon and chicken veg soup

Snack: almonds

D:Puerto Rican beef with mashed yams

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. :)

Finished the TGUs and 1000 swings this week, Start tackling the 1500 swings tomorrow.

Doing the Turkish get-up challenge.  . .

So far I have done all the TGUs daily and am at 850 swings.

Trying to better track my nutrition:

Breakfast- scrambled egg with onion. garlic, jalapeno, and olive oil , 5 strips of bacon

10am-bannana

lunch- 2 bowls of paleo ham & cabbage soup

4pm- 3 80% chocolate squares with almond slices

Dinner 2 servings of meatloaf, sprig of broccoli

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.…

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…

Greetings!
