31/12 - 4 mile round trip walking/jogging with my son on his new bike. In the evening, some pushups and other things on paralettes1/1 - decent session of pushing and a little pulling on paralettes and pullup bar, plus a mile or so more walking to accompany the tiny cyclist.2/1 - some stretching, 4 mile loop as per Thursday3/1 - short campus session. First time back in ages, so not a great session but you’ve got to get back on the wagon somewhere. A mile or so pushing a pram to accompany the tiny cyclist.4/1 - 5x5 weighted pull-ups. Not done these for a while so down on previous efforts. 2x10 hammer curls and some feeble knee to bar sets later on too.5/1 - sets of different varieties of pushups plus static holds6/1 - aerobic 5-3-5-3-5 foot on campus session, more feeble knee to bar sets.7/1 - 30min/2mile walk with the tiny cyclist8/1 - campus session. Good improvement over the one on the third. Then a push session.9/1 - just under 5 miles along the seafront with the tiny cyclist 10/1 - another 1.5 miles with the tiny cyclist plus a pulling session.11/1 - pushups, dips, static holds12/1 - aerobic foc session13/1 - archer rows, knee to bar sets, dips, ring turned out holds, pushups,14/1 - 35min/2mile walk with the tiny cyclist 15/1 - 5x5 at bw+10 which, with batteries added to my scales, appears to be a rather shocking (total weight of) 90kg. Glass half full - this means my arms are no weaker and I was ticking reasonable problems at this weight before Christmas. Glass half empty - that’s a good 6kg more than I would hope to be, and excuses like “right after dinner” and “wearing a big jumper because it’s cold” and so on don’t really cover that gap. Weight management feels a higher priority.....16/1 - nearly 7 miles with the tiny cyclist17/1 - a weigh in at a more sensible hour and lacking the big jumper suggests a weight of more like 76kg than 80kg - which is a plus although given the variation probably one to keep an eye on to see which is more representative. 2 miles with the tiny cyclist. Pushups etc in the evening.18/1 - good pushing session19/1 - distracted all day so a late one, some stretching and compression stuff20/1 - mix of pull and push sets21/1 - aerobic foot on campus session
21st - low motivation. Didn't leave the house all day. Bicep curls in front of TV and some pushups.22nd - 5k lunchtime run. went via Cranhill boulders on the way home, ground is bogging up there, but rock is bone dry.
