Seems like you are getting your rhythm in check. Congrats on persevering through the "lying in bed trying to sleep for hours" phase. Do you use a normal alarm clock or one of those lovely light based ones?
Thanks! I use a normal alarm. Didn't know about light based ones, imma check it out in good old google.
They are pretty great but you gotta test them out for some time before you can use it reliably. Should be a lot healthier for your heart since it doesn't rip you out of deep sleep but simulates a natural waking up.
Sounds like goals are being accomplished. Do you follow a plan of a certain amount of lbs/kg per week loss or you just try to lose as much as possible?
Growing rice?I'm attempting to grow health food.
List of everything I'm trying to grow atm.
-Garlic
-Turmeric
-Rice
-Einkorn wheat
-Mangos
-Avocado
-Mustard
-Sage
-Thyme
-Basil
-Pineapples
-Tomatos
-Cilantro
And whatever else I'm forgetting.
I see. I asked about cilantro because I can't deal with the soapy taste no matter the recipe around it. Growing your own herbs is pretty badass, kudos to you.

Speaking of pledges. February is over and it was for sure the toughest pledge yet. I definitely underestimated the whole "average over 75" thing because one rest day of 20-30 HR minutes would mean I had to do some serious compensation. Yoga every day has become standard and I'm certainly continuing to do it. Still averaged 87 elevated Heartrate Minutes over the month.I think you mention a part that is maybe the hardest aspect of all of this. Trying to estimate a work/timeload that you can keep up every day of the following month. With time and experience, it's gonna be easier to assess what is a challenge and what is just not possible. To be honest I prefer setting the bar too high and failing, over setting the bar too low and making it too easy on yourself.
Pretty sure a month of Jojo sets is adequate for a bit of cheating during January.

Well, the month is over and I did not have to go take a dip in the icy Danube although I am a bit tempted to do it for the funsies.
The Bring Sally Up addition certainly made the challenge harder. Got quite sore by Day 5 but worse is the song being stuck in my head for hours!
Getting healthy and the sun coming out certainly helped to go a bit over time, so the 40 Minutes per day of elevated HR was rather low.
However, it made me neglect my rest/yoga sessions and I can certainly feel it. Got a rather unpleasant case of runner's knee so my challenge this month is implementing a more well-rounded training regimen and preparing my body for this lovely fella:
February Pledge
1. Gotta do at least one 30 min Yoga Session every day.
2. "HR Minute average" of 75 per day for the month of February
3. Alternate Bring Sally Up Squats and Pushups
PUNISHMENT (for me, a blessing for some others)
Not play any MG in 2021
This guy is hilarious. "The fucken boogeyman comes out at night time". Who is he?
He is a very peculiar dude. Was a navy seal and became known for being an absolute madman who pushes himself way over any human limits. He became an ultra marathon runner and ran a 100 miler before he ever ran a marathon. He also held the world record for most pull ups in 24 hours for some time.

So far it has been a story of growth and no one has left yet although I do miss @Evil3ye posting here a bit.
Awh, that sounds like a fairytale really. Perhaps Evil needs a little reminder to come back to this club
Pretty sure his current workout consists of carrying the gigantic Pokemon Top 10 to the finish line.

Btw he decided to alternate different things to replace the run every 4 hours. One was 40 minutes of continuous Jumping Jacks or 40 minutes of pull-ups in sets of 5

Sounds like you got a plan, which is half the work. Dope of you to join. Do you have some equipment in mind already?These last three days I decided to take care of myself better:
I think it's the first time in my life that I exercised consistently like that. Was just exhausted the first day, but I felt pretty good after it the next days
- Started taking cold shower again.
- Drinking more water.
- Much less sugar in my tea.
- Daily workout(for now).
Planning to buy equipment next week. And tommorow I will establish a better routine with the help of someone more knowledgeable.
Resistance bands, a punching bag, a jump rope(can't find the one I had) and better gym clothes.
Nice, sounds like a bit of a boxing routine you wanna get into. I can only recommend power stands for push-ups and Kettlebells as they provide a lot of bang for your buck if you wanna expand your home gym.

Did you get the gymnastics ball as an office chair?
I have not used it much as office chair. I find the bouncing bit distracting, and also the ball keeps deflating. I think I got a poor quality ball.
