Previous weekly reports #855544 #862938 #871616

Last week was shit—absolutely abysmal.
So, can only go up from there, eh!
We've had insane winter storms over here, wave after wave after wave of snow, rain, and 100-110 mph winds. Lots of staying inside, then. Also haven't seen the sun in over a week; the sky did clear up today while I was in an outdoor pool swimming (not sea swimming until Sunday, lol! #873759) but it was after sunset so only pretty colors and crisp air.
Also some strange illness/covid-type thing on Monday and Tuesday—muscles all in pain, ache-y, tired, headache etc.
Anyway, held my weekly yoga class on Sunday (and said sea swimming!)—didn't record the daily pushups but I suppose a few.
Monday: skip, crappy day. Tuesday: skip; migraine + storm so ain't nobody driving an hour for judo class (#851054) Wednesday: Better, but only 4x10 pushups during the day. Thursday: now we're cracking; 102 pushups (somehow I miscounted?!) plus a Chris Heria 8-minute core routine + regular meditation session (#863896). Friday: gym + outdoor swimming + Japanese martial arts session in the evening + 98 pushups, since you fuckers bid down the BTC/USD exchange rate to embarrassing levels. #100adayuntil100k etc.
I could really feel my lack of strength and endurance at the gym. While this time last year I was cranking out pull-ups with 20kg weights, today I barely did 2x5 unweighted. (lots of playing, hanging, and acro shoulder movements though)
So yeah, not an excellent week; definitely better than last; yet much room for improvement!
Keep on grinding, healthy Stackers!

Momentum doesn't exist. It was made up by the government.

With all that snow, where's the shoveling?
Also, you have outdoor pools in the winter? Is it geothermal or something?
reply
Yeah. Doxxing my (not-so-secret) location I guess, but yeah we have plenty of heated outdoor pools.
(And no, natur takes care of shoveling—we call it "melting")
reply
That sounds like an awesome location. I've been to places like that a few times.
I'm also a minimalist shoveler, but it is great exercise.
reply
Maybe... I tend to do it unevenly, so lower back pain in one side only.
Also, it feels so pointless, so Sisyphean... Like, shits gonna melt in a short minute; I can just wait

But was it karate??
