Sunday
60 min PZT, I was on the struggle bus hard core for this one
Also on Sunday I buzzed my hair a bit shorter, bleached it, and dyed it bubblegum pink. Because why not. In epic adulting style, I didn't grocery shop or meal prep this weekend. This morning I packed my lunch with what I could find: one slice of pizza, a possibly expired yogurt, a meal replacement shake, and a cheese wedge. *sigh*Instagram: @doctorv17

2020 Fitness Goals:
Get back to 140# (currently at 170, which is officially highest ever weight *cries*)
~20% bodyfat (currently estimate around 27-30)
4000 min on the Peloton platform (between biking, yoga, stretching, and strength/core classes, this is part of a Peloton-wide challenge)
3600 mi on Peloton (i.e. 300 mi/month, which reflects my best month in 2019)
Hit 300 total rides (currently at 140, so this is around 3 rides per week)
Increase FTP to 250 (currently at 199)
Complete a tough mudder with bf and his kids (ugh, I hate running and it destroys my back but the whole fam wants to do this)
Get in the habit of cooking healthy *and* tasty meals. Currently I'm pretty decent at the "healthy but tastes like ****" or getting take-out or pizza rolls.
I have a few non-fitness related goals too. Mostly monetary: I'd like to reach a certain number between my savings and 401k accounts and pay off half of my non-mortgage debt. But also to travel to Italy and get my CISSP certification.Instagram: @doctorv17

As stated above, parents were in town for 8 days, during which I didn't lift at all and I ate all sorts of junk, but I did ride regularly. My bike has a bad bearing, which is a slightly common problem but will be fixed next week under warranty. I'm a bit concerned that it will affect the calibration of my bike, so I will be retaking the FTP immediately after. I will try not to get to bummed out if it goes down. I think it should actually go up though, I think the bearing is creating resistance at high cadences.
Non-fitness related, I dyed my hair pink again last night but left the dye in too long and it is highlighter pink. I have an eccentric look on the best of days (head has been shaved in some form for 2 years) but today I'm actually feeling self-conscious about it. I think I'll swing by Sally's this weekend and get some darker colors, maybe a dark blue and dark green.Instagram: @doctorv17

:wave: Lifting and biking going well, nutrition/cal counting not so much. Don't have a lot of time for a full update just now. Wanted to pop in and say I'm thinking about giving up "heavy" lifting, my elbows are starting to go the way of my hands this year and sometimes I feel I'm doing more damage than good given my compromised joints. Need to try to see a specialist.

Hi there. I haven't commented in a long time so some lateness. Nice goals and everything. Hard when family are around for a while. My diet dies when I visit mine for sure. Good luck with the elbow. I injured mine in my early 20's so some lifts it doesn't like and some I just won't do. I quit skullcrushers a long time ago cause the elbow and really rarely do dips. But other heavy lifts don't bother it. Hopefully a specialist will help you figure out how things are going and what to do from there.
Hope all is well and you're smashing things on the peleton.Gym Max: 229/126/305

End of Month Goal Update - January
Fitness Goals:
Get back to 140# (from 170#): Weighed in last week at 167#, not ideal but a downward trend
~20% bodyfat (from ~27-30): Would say I'm ~27%
4000 min on the Peloton platform: Currently at ~900 min, so ahead on this one
3600 mi on Peloton (i.e. 300 mi/month): Currently at 239, so behind (projected to finish year at 2500)
Hit 300 total rides (currently at 140, so this is around 3 rides per week): 159 rides, on track still
Increase FTP to 250 (currently at 199): Attempted an FTP and bailed, so I would say I'm behind on this goal
Complete a tough mudder with bf and his kids: Have not identified a suitable race yet
Get in the habit of cooking healthy *and* tasty meals: Failing miserably, meal prepping breaky/lunch but dinners have been a crapshot
Non-fitness goals:
Reach a certain number between my savings and 401k accounts: Failing, market hasn't been kind to my 401K and my savings is taking a hit for the next two goals
Pay off half of my non-mortgage debt: On track for this one, should get ahead in Feb/March with tax refund unless I redirect to savings instead
Travel to Italy: Purchased MotoGP tickets to San Marino and booked 3 days of hotel, still need to book flights and additional hotel stays, hard to plan as bf decided to go back to school
Get my CISSP certification: I put this back on my work goals but I haven't figured out how to fit it into my workloadInstagram: @doctorv17

Get in the habit of cooking healthy *and* tasty meals: Failing miserably, been having a massively stressful month at work and home, unquestionably affecting my diet and meal prep habits

Preface to say 2020 is a biatch that's kicking my a$$. I spent a week of March traveling for a funeral and another week sick as a dog because apparently 4 planes and hugging 200+ people is a bad idea during a pandemic. The bright side is my work is both an essential service so I shouldn't get laid off, and can mostly be done remotely so I'm able to isolate. I've swapped to bodyweight/really light weight home workouts in addition to the Peloton which I'm infinitely grateful for these days.
End of Month Goal Update - March
Fitness Goals:
Get back to 140# (from 170#): up to 174 (
~20% bodyfat (from ~27-30): Still estimating ~30%
4000 min on the Peloton platform: 2500 min, ahead
3600 mi on Peloton (i.e. 300 mi/month): 569 mi (projected finish of 2289, lost a lot of ground with two weeks off)
Hit 300 total rides (started year at 140, so this is around 3 rides per week): 186 rides, on track still
Increase FTP to 250 (currently at 199): Time off right after testing is a real set back, current power zones feel nearly impossible but trying to stick it our. Wont be retesting for a while.
Complete a tough mudder with bf and his kids: Have not identified a suitable race yet (no change)
Get in the habit of cooking healthy *and* tasty: I keep telling myself it's my civic duty to order takeout
Non-fitness goals:
Reach a certain number between my savings and 401k accounts: I should probably revise this goal so I dont rip my wounds open each month.
Pay off half of my non-mortgage debt: 40% to goal - I'm still working but the bf isn't so I'm building up a safety net rn and hopefully will resume this when things stablize
Travel to Italy: this is still a ??

That is one way to put it for the look at 2020. It has been a biatch and just keeps getting worse.
I've been ordering out more too. Between all of the calls to do takeout and busy working most of the time, just easy to use grubhub or ubereats and get food delivered or for takeout. And no gym either so my fitness is just moving around totes a couple times a week at work and getting enough steps. The chaos keeps continuing. Hopefully you stay well. Good luck with your goals too.Gym Max: 229/126/305
