Lift, Train, Fitness

We call Pig's head "cheese" Brawn here. That's very funny that your kids suggest you go outside in a lightning storm. Sons are very amusing. I find if they're giving me cheek it's a good thing. When they're ignoring me something's wrong.
 
Feeling stressed, mum just went in for her 8 hour surgery, that was supposed to happen last week but was cancelled at the last minute.

prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.
 
Mum just came out of surgery, took a lot longer than expected, the rest of the family is only just being allowed to visit in intensive care, apparently the surgeon is happy with how it all went.
 
made a few poor food choices yesterday but wasn't to bad considering.

also completed 400 squats

today is another day, Baseball game tonight and again on Sat morning

had to get a chuckle over hubbys comment yesterday, he asked if I was wearing a corset lol, the only thing different was I wasn't wearing a baggy training T-shirt. I don't even own that sort of clothing.
 
wooohooo! Sexy lady with a corset, lol! Naturally too. I have a very extreme hourglass figure so when I was at my lowest in 2008 (158 lbs) I considered buying very tight clothing to show it off but never did because I am just too modest, I regret that now!!

I joined your squat challenge. I think I'll hate myself for it but I want to go from beginner to intermediate during the month if I can.
 
It has been a quiet day, had one son home sick with the flu, and youngest was at a food and wine expo for school excursion. He spent most of his time trying 57 flavours of fairy floss lol. He usually has very little sugar so I hate to think what he was like on the bus on the 3 hour drive home, ADHD + an Overload of sugar.

This forum frustrates me at times, we have lost so many knowledgeable people who would have been handy today, we get soooo many people pushing junk science, it is hard to keep up with time and effort providing the scientific proofs that what they are promoting is complete bollocks.

In some cases proving the negative is sooo difficult, because the claims are so obviously bad that it is not worth the expense of a peer reviewed study to prove stuff doesn't work.

to keep this forum as a valuable resource we all need to push back against the scammers, spammers and self interested con artists.

to put so much time into always learning and keeping my knowledge up to date only to have someone promoting detox infer I am not studying enough because he went to a "seminar" gives me the shits.

this is a good article showing how bogus detox is, although it is not a scientific study, it is well referenced.
 
Anytime I see the word detox I immediate discount any other thing a person might have to say based on the principal that they could possibly have brain damage. My mother works for a Chiropractor that hocks a "detox" diet for several hundreds of dollars to his patients and I told her she should hang her head in shame for her association. If your body is not getting rid of its toxins by itself you need a liver and kidney transplant not a detox diet.
 
yep sorry about the rant but sometimes it feels like I am standing against a raging torrent of misinformation.

anyway baseball today, didn't get to baseball last night, sons excursion bus got back to late and he was in the middle of a major sugar crash.
 
yesterday was stressful, although they are less common now, Autistic meltdowns are hard to deal with especially when others think they are doing a good deed by continually asking son if he is ok and telling him to calm down even when told not to as this is a trigger to make thing worse. Why wont people listen when they are told to give an Autistic space to calm down in their own time, crowding an autistic like this is the worst thing you can do.

I think November is time to make another push for a bit more re-composition, although I am in perfect health with healthy bodyfat levels, I would like it lower, so for this month I am committing to the ZC challenge, which is just a little more strict than my usual eating.
 
You are Awesome & Impressive!! :hurray:

~*Get Well Wishes to All of your Loved Ones.*~

Question: What is your opinion re: Squat Challenge starting tomorrow re: my extraction/dental work? I don't feel or think "squats" would be too much? What do ya think?

:seeya:
 
Stacy, just go by how your feeling, they are only bodyweight squats but if you also have high blood pressure in addition to your dental work the it may be worth giving yourself an extra day.
 
rest of the family finally gave me the flu :(

completed squats for squat challenge

Day 2 ZC on track

going back to bed now to try and sleep off this bug
 
Bless your heart! :grouphug: ~*Get Well Soon Hon!*~

Completed Squat Challenge as well! ;)

Hope you are sleeping well! :sleeping:
 
Day 5 ZC, no stuff-ups, appetite is back to normal, Down 2 kg water weight. Now appetite is back to normal due to ZC and stress levels are back to normal after a few months of high stress, I can now get back to IF and my 4 hour eating window.

Squat challenge is on target

Blood Ketones: 0.8 mmol/L Solidly In ketosis for fat burning
Blood Glucose (non fasted): 5.1 mmol/L Perfect
Blood Pressure: 120/76
Resting Heart Rate: 55
Weight: 91 kg
 
I have been watching the test match this afternoon interspersed with actually getting some work done lol, Putting together a new weight training web site, it is finally set up, now Just have to add content lol but even Mods can't post links to our own sites without good reason.

just waiting for my Bacon to finish cooking in the oven, then I can have my first meal of the day.

I love keto and ZC is just a more strict version, both kill the appetite, have not been hungry all day, and the Bread and Butter pudding that son cooked today is not even a temptation :D

also on the up side son received his TAFE Certificate for Kitchen Operations today, so if he decides to go on and do a Chef apprenticeship, a big chunk of the course will get RPL, not bad for a grade 11 student with learning difficulties.

for the non Aussies here TAFE is college of Technical And Further Education
