Enjoy the next 7 days then kick start the New Year with Sharkathon  :boxing:

The only rule is 30 mins of any type of exercise for every day of January.

Feel free to state other aims for the month - going dry, weight loss..

Does giving up online forums count?

I’m in, although bit of a cheat as also try the Mind Run Every Day (RED) thing as well.

Also going to try and go dry this January, excluding the days when I’m in Spain as I think that would be just too much of a challenge.

Happy new year Sharkathletes !

Time to assess the damage.

Weighed in at 160.2 lbs this morning which is the same as last year. Personally I’m looking for a repeat performance of >5lbs weight loss and no alcohol. Will be restarting food diary, weighing in every day, cutting down carbs especially sugar and skipping the occasional meal.

Just a dog walk and stretching for me today.

Are you sure you can be trusted with dog walking given the potential back strains??

 :lol:

Lesson learnt - use good form even when lifting a smallish dog over a stile

Does stretching a dog count as exercise - and should I be talking to the RSPCA about this?

aim - lose some fookin weight and be fit enough to enjoy myself

start 15st 2lb

progress on day 1 = morning, set out to go climbing, but The Peak was full. Instead went to a quiet lake - 2 hrs walking around in the cold throwing bits of plastic and metal at pike that either weren't there or didn't want to play.

afternoon, 40 mins fat old dad parkour with the lad on DT90's new training facility at Broadfield Park

I'm trying to do at least 30 minutes every day for the whole year. Also going to continue not drinking (stopped Dec 2018) and try and drop 20 lbs (currently at 13st).

day 5
Bouldering at earth quarry. 95% of the time/effort was spend finding the crag. The description on UKC is wrong if anyone ever goes there, just use the map location instead.

Oooh, forgot about going dry. I'm away skiing next week, so will need to apply for a bye for the week, as dry it won't be.
