rich46 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I hear karaoke is a must in Japan! Core today! (My least fav) did some cardio. Good and sore from arms yesterday! Chest tomorrow and food prep. Oh yeah walked my nephew! Yeah, lots of fun! The novelty wore off for a while but recapturing the karaoke spirit now! Said good bye to my friend this morning then walked all day, exploring Kyoto's Arashiyama district and the Fushimi Inari shrine complex that is vast! Just checked in to my accommodation and did some resistance band pulls (Day 35), and now heading out to go Geisha spotting in Gion. Back home tomorrow, then 3 days off to recover, and get back into a settled exercise routine again. Link to comment
rich46 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Day 36 Bit of a strange one, but had a long train journey back to my 'hometown' and of course, after a trip the cupboards are always bare. So, I walked back to my apartment via the local supermarket, and proceeded to do pull ups with the two heavy bags full of food for the 20 minutes it took! Not to mention I had a heavy backpack on my shoulders. Thankfully it was dark so nobody could see me haha. Quiet 2-3 months ahead for me as I save for my big summer trip, so really going to get stuck into my exercising, and my Japanese study! Just 4 more days until the first target is reached Link to comment
JA0371 Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Today is day 36 but ai haven't been posting.... I won't lie I wasn't perfect...too much food, BUT I did walk every day at least a mile. Anyway, Im back and ready to get busy again. I am ready to do another 40 days after this weekend. We can start next Monday! Who is in?? Link to comment
heartbroken3 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Your body could probably use the recovery time! Look at it that way for the days you missed. I'm in. Really didn't feel like hitting the gym tonight so I worked out at home. (Legs - bodyweight) protein shake now! I'm in Link to comment
rich46 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Day 37 Did my decline push ups at a different angle today which seemed to target my upper chest more. Followed it up with the dumbbells. Felt good to have a proper session after being away for a few days Link to comment
JA0371 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Day 37: gonna food shop today, and do cardio and arms later. I say lets just keep going up to 80 days rather than start over at 1. Link to comment
Ms Darcy Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Fell off the wagon today with too much sugar. Tomorrow is a new day and a good time to re-commit. Link to comment

rich46 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Day 39 Penultimate day (of this challenge). Another day off work for me, so had an afternoon session of press ups and dumbells. I might start changing it up more from next week to keep things fresh. I have a bench in my apartment that I haven't used much, so might incorporate that into my schedule. Last day tomorrow!!
