OK folks. I know I'm silent, but I'm still here.
First, kudos and deep bow to Ren, Jen and Pen, I mean Patrick, for showing up so regularly here. I appreciate that.
I'm now waiting to fly back from the UK, where I've just been attending the funeral of my friend Anton. Back in Canada for 3 days, before flying back to the UK for some previously scheduled client work.
So I've been battling the lack of structure and routine this month, with feeding myself partially out of my control and exercise options also a little limited - I've spent 6 days just on planes, and will have spent a grand total of 6 days in my own bed (and therefore preparing my own food.) I haven't thrown in the towel, but feel like I should hit rewind and go back 20 days to reconnect to the program and work on it from there.
(In fact Patrick, seriously, is that something I should do? I mean - for some of the exercises, I'm farcically unable to do what's asked - in particular, chin-ups. I can do 1, 0, 0, 0, 0 for the routines)
I realise I owe you a photo too, Patrick. It's coming ~
You are very welcome and glad to have you back!
ReplyDeleteOn the chin-ups, I can do exactly 4, 1, 0, 0 but what I do for the 1,0,0 part is put a stool underneath me, rest my toes to take off some weight and work from there. As I get tired, I use my legs to relieve a little more weight but not so much that it's easy. I always want to be struggling to finish those last reps.
Thanks, Jen ~
