1) I am now actively using a 40kg kettlebell and my arms have not been ripped out of their sockets, and I can strict press a 36kg 3
2) Thanks to the house move and a bill that made me squeak, I have purchased an I.C.G. home bike, which means, thanks to Louise I do spin twice a week at a level now that is topping at 1,200 calories per 55-minute session. Really good progress.
3) I’m back to fencing. Again, thanks to the house move I have run out of excuses and am now back to Haverstock fencing club, it is still as amazing as ever and alas my old bad habits are still there, but I am determined to get there each week and have fun while my knees last.
Goals
1) Lose some sodding weight. While both Sam and Louise constantly try to steer me to a realm of healthy eating, I still eat garbage, but its a bit silly now. I’m currently at 114 kilos; I need to get that down to 100 kilos. Thankfully, Louise herself is changing diets this new year so we can be miserable together while I finally listen to what I have been told.
2) Get to at least 1 fencing competition. I have been told that its a serious game now and not the fun we used to have and to take part in the seniors instead, but I don’t care, I’m just going to go and have a fight.
3) Get the heat problems under control. one downside I discovered this year is I have been controlling the heat of my exercises a little bit too much, as I personally overheat easily as well as the lung thing does not like heat much, this resulted in me thinking I was better than I am in a real world situation both in fencing and when on a spin bike in a real class. To solve this I will be artificially jacking up the heat at home spin to rediscover what it’s like to actually do it in a class. as well as in general P.T., the simplest solution is to wear my fencing jacket for none fencing fitness, I did that on the last spin before Christmas and it took my watts per kilo from a slightly unbelievable 3.0 to a far more sane 2.8 which makes a lot more sense.
4) Get back to Turkish get ups. They were something I really liked as a challenge, but because my elbow hated me 4. We had to stop doing it, I really want to get that back and get to a solid 36kg.
