4.
Nothing, couldn't face it :(
71.5 kgs
No booze.
5.
28 Pull ups, 82 Press ups, 100 sit ups. couldn't complete - pitiful, again. 1hr walk - wouldn't normally count this but I'm scraping the barrel here.
71.4 kgs
No booze.
6.
20 Pull ups. Took daughter to UCR and did bit of easy bouldering - pitiful, again.
71.1 kgs
No booze.

 2 says of failure and a couple of half arsed efforts - really struggling atm, hopefully will improve this week. At least abstention doesn't seem to be any effort.

6 - nowt, gentle eccentrics

7 - 2 hours indoors top-roping easy slabs, dismal and demoralising.

1 - Walk with Kids - 4 km approx
2 - Walk with Kids + evening bouldering with internal weightbelt
3 - Hopefully run at lunch, see if I am over lurgy or not. - edit - not, i think i left a trail of phlegm and a lung
4 - short walk with kids
5 - brisk walk to get car
6 - short walk with kids
7 - lunch run - feeling marginally better, throat still raw though.

Still on wagon, but tentative clinging to bumper, rather than riding shotgun.

2nd - local bouldering at climbing wall with youngest
3th - a short pull-up, press-up, leg raises session and a dog joggy-walk, travel to UK
4th - SubStation family climbing trip
5th - Took the moppets to Mini-Works (scraping the barrel here...) and joggy-walked up a biggish hill in the wind.
6th - Running round woods and playing on rope-swing with kids.
7th - a concerted effort at some depressingly inflexible stretching...

I was away socialising with the family at the weekend so knew that some of the entries would be bare minimum stuff.

Subtation in Macclesfield is brilliant by the way. Both kids thought it was better than Mini-Works! To be fair this could be in part down to the fact it is so new and clean and whizzy looking. But it genuinely was very good. The LED board looked ace, and the other bits of the training section looked the part (I'm in no fit state to actually use them right now so can't comment fully) but the upper "kids" wall was enjoyed by the kids and provided a decent warm-up for me and the wife. Downstairs was great. We were a pretty diverse group of people (a 6 year old, a 11 year old, and two middle aged folk a female seldom climber and a male used to be climber) and we all found plently of problems we could do, stuff we could work, stuff we could almost do and... well you know. One of the really nice things was that some of the harder problems were not just about the distance between holds, meaning my 6 year old (who is probably pretty handy for a 6 year old) could do decent links on several of the harder problems. Really really impressed.
And then the food. The coffee was nice my wife had "the nicest brownie ever", the kids had "the best pizza ever" (and they have a vast reference pool of pizza to call on). Service was really friendly and everything was freshly made. I hope it's a great success and if it continues as it's started then we will definitely be visiting every time I'm over (my dad lives in Macclesfield).

30/12/18 79.1kg

1 - bouldering. 1 hr 45ish. Nothing super hard, reasonably high volume. Skin poor from sea and rest. In theatre for midnight New Year’s Eve so missed it. Ate some shit around 0100 in the morning. No booze.

2 - Yoga 1 hour with instructor. Diet not great. No booze.

3 - jet lag kicks in. One pull up! Fell asleep at 2100 post nap. No booze.

4 - Portland, mad DOMS. Got absolutely boxed, failed to climb easy climbs. But good to get back into it. Fake Christmas Eve. Drank two and half glasses of Prosecco, boozing after climbing.... breaking a golden rule.

5 - Fake Christmas Day. Up early for 50 mins of yoga. Bit of core. Drank and ate way too much.

6 - hanging leg raises, tucks, front lever reps; can’t do static yet. Ate too much. Yoga in evening, short session. No booze.

7 - bouldering. About 1.5hrs. Easy comp followed by a little PE. Better than previous but harder sessions from here.

Today, 76.3kg, getting rid of some of that water. I’m not too concerned with my start this week, but will do better next. By my self imposed rules I now owe two weeks of non drinking in Feb!

1 –  30m mins mobility/stretches (which I would definitely not have done but for this thread).
2 – bodyweight gymnastic stuff and an hour running / scooting on seafront with infants.
3 – cycle commute (40 mins) and bodyweight gymnastic stuff.
4 – cycle commute (60 mins) and 2 hrs indoor climbing (Arch new roof sets)
5 – bodyweight gymnastic stuff.
6 – bodyweight gymnastic stuff and an hour’s hilly walk with infants. 30 mins mobility/stretches.
7 – Cycle commute (40 mins). BM – first repeaters since last spring. Utter joy at having almost completed one set of the 6C routine (failed at 5 seconds on the last hang of the offset 2 fingers) gradually turning to despair having evidently strained the 'flexor unit' in my left hand ( . . .on the last hang of the offset 2 fingers). Thankfully, does not seem too bad today . . .

6. Clutching at straws a bit but cycled to a friends to pick something up (c.20 mins) and a 4 mile walk along the river in Leeds. Nothing very strenuous but kind of exercise...

7. Depot Session - circuit board to warm up. Small amount of campusing. Then tried to make a circuit on the 30 degree board. Got one made (27 moves) but kept dropping the end where the footholds get crap. No idea what this is training but I'm sure it'll help something...

About 4.5hours on trying Marks Roof yesterday finishing in the dark.

Anyone got a rubber jockstrap I can borrow to go on the outside of my trousers for that final crucial cock udge?

9 - 20 mins miseryjog, only marginally more awful than yesterday. Lots of eccentrics. 3 x 20 dwarf pressups. Dwarf is getting bored now and wants to go back to fighting goblins.

I just realized that from December the 19th to January the 8th I've done 20 consecutive days of training. Does they count on here?
