Day 14: (12-23-23)

Got busy and had to use another hall pass. I'm going to try to move my workout time to after breakfast rather than after dinner. I think that will work better for my home time.

@Mamatigerj Thank you. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you as well.

Today's workout was an abs day. My particular kryptonite. Made it through all 5 sets though so I'll take that as a positive.

Core training day. It was rough but I made it through all 5 sets. Burned a bunch of calories, got a good sweat going and got the heart rate up good so I'll call that a victory.

Day 22 to Day 25 ( 12-31-23 to 1-3-24):

Took a few days rest because of New Years. I did finish Fit December via hall pass on 12-31-23 so that is a plus. :completed:

I'm going to start Reboot tomorrow and get back on the grind.

Day 26: (1-4-24)

Happy New Year Darebee!!! Hopefully this year is a little more controlled then the last! I'm back traveling for work and looks like I will be until the end of March but on the plus side I get to head home after that so the New Year is already kicking off to a good start. I'm looking to lose a bit of weight before my medical exam on 2-5-24 so I decided on a plan that favored cardio. I'm not in the shape I was previous so I filtered for level 2 and now I'm doing Reboot. It reminds me of the boss battles in Hero's Journey which to date is my favorite program. On paper today's workout looked pretty easy but it definitely got my heart rate up and got me sweating. Looking forward to more of this.

Day 27: (1-5-24)

@MadamMeow @Anek @Fremen Thank you!

I've noticed something about Reboot. Only having two exercises per day is BORING!!! My mind really starts to wander after the 3rd set. If it is a low burn day, like today, it really is tough to finish. That said I'm blessed to have this and I'm going to finish it. Feel a bit guilty about griping about it and I guess the simplicity might be a blessing for someone else. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I'll see if I still feel the same way after the first week of it.

Day 30 and 31 (1-8-24 to 1-9-24)

Both today and yesterday have been rough. The 140 lunges I did on Sunday, followed by the 7 mile hike, really burned up my legs and this illness I have been fighting is winning. Went to medical yesterday and got some amoxicillin to try to fight this stuff off since it refuses to leave. I'm going to skip the mountain climber day 4 of reboot because I don't see my legs coming back for another day or two. I'll try the day 5 tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to do the jumping jacks. Might have to take a few days until I heal up completely.

Day 35: (1-13-24)

@Mamatigerj Thank you. Can't wait to get to 100% at some point.

Well yesterday, while doing the leg raises, I tweaked my back and now I can hardly move around. No hiking today and no working out. I've decided that the Reboot program isn't really in alignment with my goals and since I keep getting hurt doing it I'm going to move on to a different program. With that in mind I'll be starting 60 days of cardio on Monday. Tomorrow I am going to hike if I can.

Day 37: (1-15-24)

@Mamatigerj @Anek Thank you!

Alright. I think the hike yesterday helped put my back in order though it certainly didn't feel like it at the time. As planned I switched from Reboot to 60 Days of Cardio and I'm feeling like I made the right decision. Day one even with my recent illness and my back still being semi tender was doable up to the max 7 sets and the workout was much more engaging. My goal is really to trim down to 180 lbs sometime before summer and to develop some consistency with my workouts. I feel like this plan will help by giving me exercises I can do daily, without DOMS, and it focuses on cardio. I do want to try a program that builds strength but I'm going to hold that off until April to May at the earliest though I might do one more cardio program depending on how I'm feeling at the end of 60 days.

Day 45: (1-23-24)

As a positive work started to include a much heavier outside and physical presence today. As a negative I am woefully out of shape, for this kind of work, after spending the last 6+ months working computer / paperwork. I'm glad I restarted Darebee otherwise I think I might have been really rough today. Overall good day but my workout was a bit weak due to being tired from work.

Day 46: (1-24-24)

Not my best day today. I'm noticing a trend where when I travel away from home I start to get more and more depressed as I cross over two weeks away from home. It's part of the job so I'm resigned to it for the time being but it does kind of cause me to slump around day 15-16. I need to work a bit to push this to at least day 21. At least I completed my workout today but I didn't hit 5000 steps which is my current daily goal. Hopefully, I can get my self together tomorrow and get back at it.

Woo hoo!!! Got my log up to day 50! Now my goal is to get this log to day 100. Here goes another 50 days.

I celebrated with a long rough hike. I hiked up to one of the peaks here. It was almost straight up for 3 miles in which I climbed 2100 ft. The trip down was easy but the trip up was hard. I'm going to sleep well tonight.
