Their stuff is legit! I like their lollipops actually.
So yesterday my knee acted up a little in training so I only stayed for one class, then today ran instead of training. Will lift tomorrow and hopefully return to BJJ Thursday or at worst Friday!
Yesterday: Calories 2085
Workout BJJ 1 hour
same cartwheel pass as Sunday
Today: Calories 2250, 277C/160C/64F
Workout:
5.11 mile run (43:00)
Pace worked down from 9:00/mile to 6:40/mile
Startlingly easy. Why I can run with a bad knee: the knee thing is only bad due to direct pressure on the top of my kneecap so running is fine.

Not feeling super great today. Felt really weak in the gym, like just no strength in my body, so I did bare minimum upper body and got out of there. Took a nap later. It's not really my knee at this point, just feel really run down? idk.

Just walk yesterday (9 miles), and 2235 calories (due to long walk).
Today:
Calories: 2070, 281C/136P/53F
Workout:
1.1 mile run
Pistol squats 5 x 5 each leg
Chin up 5 x 5
Push up 5 x 12
Toes to bar x 5/hanging leg raise x 5 3 sets
Cable crunch 42.5 x 10, 50 2 x 10
Dragon flag 3 x 3
Handstand hold 3 x 20-30s (held without wall for a bit!)
Chinups were chest to bar, which is cool, but I find them a LOT harder without supersetting with deadlifts. I think because I don't get the same muscle activation. But I'm being kind to my knee and using the full ROM and solely bodyweight of pistol squats is easier on it."The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously."

Yesterday was just a ton of work, calories 1750.
Today...
Calories 2050, 259C/144P/56F
Workout:
BJJ 1 hour
Level 2 gi
Cross sleeve grip
Fake scissor sweep
They try to keep their posted leg free, so dive under and grab their thigh, stuff their hand into your pocket, far leg pushes on their bicep, then swings into omoplata
sweep from omoplata to belly down position and establish side control
Flow rolled for rounds due to knee. Decent stuff. Got to 50/50 and straight ankle locked Hana. Played lasso.
My knee is not really ready for training yet. I'm not happy.Last edited by shesprints; 02-27-2020 at 07:42 PM.

Bleh. No BJJ. Just lifting before work (time crunched).
Calories: 2040, 268C/142P/53F

Deadlift 65 x 20, 115 4 x 10

Yesterday: walked 6 miles.
Calories 2055, 239C/147P/62F
Today:
Calories 2475, 332C/168P/64F
I feel SO MUCH BETTER on high carbs.
Partly because today my workout/activity was...
8 miles walking, most at faster than 4 mph (walked to and from work in the morning and evening, and I had to walk fast--14:00/mile on hilly terrain).
At the gym--
1.1 mile run (9:00 pace)
Push ups 5 x 12
Chin ups 5 x 5
Front squat 45 x 20, 65 x 15, 85 4 x 10
Push press 45 x 10, 65 x 8, 85 4 x 4
Handstand hold 3 x 20s
Incline DB bench 30lb 4 x 10
Chest supported row 30lb 4 x 10
DB 21's 12lb 3 sets
So, 85 feels extremely light for front squats. I can and probably should up it to 115 or 125 for 8, but obviously my knee is bothering me so I just supersetted it with push press and called it good. Upon some rest and reflection, my knee doesn't seem bothered by squatting--only direct impact--so perhaps I will try that soon. Or I may try some back squats. Gosh, that's been awhile.Last edited by shesprints; 03-01-2020 at 08:59 PM.

Craving cardio like crazy, so I did half an hour on the rower and half an hour running at the gym today. I plan to repeat this workout again, probably adding burpees/sprawls and maybe med ball slams to mimic BJJ at the end or in the middle.
Calories: 1985, 240C/147P/56F
Workout:
Row 30 min (10 min warmup, 1 min hard/1 min easy alternating hard minutes at max speed and max resistance; 1 min max resistance + 1 min max speed back to back, 2 min easy, 2 min max resistance, 2 min easy, 2 min max speed, 2 min cooldown)
Run 30 min, 3.8 miles
10 min warmup @ 9:30 pace
17 min @ 7:30 pace
3 min at the end progressing to 6:00 pace
Felt really good and weirdly--after BJJ training--not hard AT ALL.
Hmmmm let's see what I feel like doing tomorrow. I have some ideas."The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously."

I think I'd like to cut maybe 4 more pounds to reduce my body fat percentage a little more. We'll see how I feel. My knee still sucks. My estimated TDEE today, with a bunch of cardio, is around 2400.

Slightly lower deficit today--250. Was feeling so drained, really faint at the gym and just yuck. I don't know what to do with that really... eat more carbs. It's annoying that my energy levels dip so quickly when I reduce acalories. It's easy to work out hard for hours on maintenance.
I don't know why this feels like revolutionary information, but it annoys me... if I'd eaten more yesterday I could have done more cardio today, so am I just spinning my wheels or what?
May implement carb refeeds every 2 weeks or so. If I can lose .5lb/week from now through May (we'll see) that'll be like 16% body fat... goal for as long as I can remember.

A ton of activity today. TDEE is close to 2600 (longer run plus walk). So a high number of calories down and still 250 deficit. Protein super high for satiety. I'm still hungry, though cardio blunts appetite somewhat around the workout.
Calories: 2335, 293C/276P/60F
Workout:
7.3 mile run
middle 4 @ 7:30 pace
heart rate was 160 bpm for that and wasn't breathing heavily so that's cool

It was really nice to eat so many calories, though I still feel hungry and tired as I'd expect from a deficit."The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously."

It's pretty incredible how much better I feel taking my deficit from activity. I enjoy activity and it improves my mood. I'd exercise intensely even if it didn't burn calories.
My little brother got me this Whoop watch thingy. It measures stuff like sleep and recovery... which I REALLY need right now because I haven't been sleeping great with this deficit. I probably will tonight with so many carbs.
I'm so worried I'm getting sick. Rachel was sick last week and was mostly recovered when I saw her yesterday--no fever or anything--but I am PARANOID about coronavirus."The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously."

Incredible increase in weight on front squats, finally felt challenged. Deadlifts still not challenging; 155 x 10 went up easy. 175 next time, perhaps? Just a great workout day all around.
I got a WHOOP heart rate/recovery monitor. It says my resting heart rate is 36 and my HRV (heart rate variability) is 121. That's apparently extremely high, a sign of superior cardio fitness. So I'm psyched."The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously."

I haven't tried going to the gym. Wonder if it's busy still and germ covered or if people are avoiding it. Many are concerned with the chaos over the virus. You'll find a way to keep active. Stay healthy and take care of you but don't go too insane either. ;-)

Lots to report!
I'm working from home. The transition was fairly seamless.
My girlfriend [and her tortoise, and her greenhouse worth of plants] have moved in with me. I LOVE IT. My house is full of beautiful greenery; she stress-cleans, so things are constantly spotless and my cabinets are organize as fuk; we cook together and she bakes things; we cuddle when I'm upset; we easily work in separate areas and don't bother each other when we want some alone time.
I have two kettlebells, parallettes, and a pullup/dip station now at home. I've been doing movement classes almost daily, running 5-6 miles every other day and walking 5 to (10 max) on days I don't run, and adding extra pull ups and chin ups throughout the day.
I was eating at a slight deficit for the past month or so but increasing to maintenance to have more energy/focus for work ramping up this week, as well as improved immunity.

Today I just walked 8 miles, because I am BEAT. On days I didn't run this week, I typically walked around 5-6 miles.
As a bonus, here's a video of me doing fingertip pushups after my BJJ instructor challenged a few of us to do so:
Going to keep working on these, along with attempting two-finger pullups and getting my weighed chin ups to sets of 5 with +6kg! Also, Rachel can do two chin ups. She's working on more too--she's already strong enough but not used to the movement.

Wow that is a lot of stuff going on. Congrats on moving in together. That is great. Sounds like the adjustment has gone well with everything even the craziness with working from home. And of course you would be able to keep active. ;-)

Good weekend. Quality time with Rachel. We made pancakes after today's run--blueberry whole wheat sourdough with homemade lemon curd and maple syrup. Fantastic post-long-run meal!
Workout:
10 mile run/9:00 pace
Felt pretty easy, slightly sore right hamstring from pulling it mildly a month ago.
Pancakes!
Astonishingly, I felt LESS fatigued from a 10-mile run than from all the insane bodyweight stuff I've been doing. LOL. I did nap though.
On the covid-19 front, I've donated to Meals on Wheels and wear a mask any time I step out of my house, including to run. I'm going to get groceries for my dad tomorrow."The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously."

I had to look up shrimp squat. Sounds like I'd fall several times in any attempt at such but might have to try some day. Hopefully you get some sleep. Mine has been off too. I took a nap on accident after a morning shift then couldn't sleep much that night after. I get to sleep in tomorrow though just need this dental pain to quit. Sometimes wearing yourself is what you need to do or benadryl, lol. Just kidding. Good luck with sleep and keeping up the business and being active.
