Got inspired by the dumbbell program!
But seeing as I don’t have any dumbbells but have an X3 (resistance bands) I decided to make my own fusion 🙂
So it’s 15-20 min of jump rope in the AM, 15-20 min of resistance training mid-day and ending it off with a 15 min deep stretch protocol.
Should be about the same, so let’s see if this will move the needle on my progress.
Been away for a while, got a bug the week before Christmas and had respiratory issues up until new years so just happy to be back at doing anything really 🙏🏻

Sleigh the Scale day 10 of 20 😱
Did you realise getting out of bed this morning you are at the 50% mark of the challenge 💪🏻 half way there baby 💪🏻
Also it’s Friday and the temptation on the weekend seems to have a greater pull on us! But come Monday, I hope you had the strength to stay on path, and you will see continued improvement 🙏🏻
Forgot to post yesterday but took the squat/lunges out of the workout and added in some more jump rope (gotta look out the those knees 👀)
Today was a bit hard to get through 🤔 throat is sore and with 4 min left on the clock I barely could breath!!! But my good mate Joe De Luca once quoted Goggins: “I don’t stop when I’m tired. I stop when I’m done” ☑️
So I got it done. Now off to do my 125 pushups throughout the day 💪🏻
Have a great day and weekend all 🙏🏻

Sleigh the Scale day 8 of 20
So I woke up, still some minor swelling in the knee 😒 so it’s gonna be a day of walking again..
6PM and almost 10k steps so still on track to reach the 16k for a ‘active-rest-day’.
Let’s see if a little more IR/laser will help me back on the ropes for tomorrow? 🙏🏻

UPDATE: got to the 16k steps so I’ll call it a day, see you tomorrow

Sleigh the scale day 7 of 20
Knee is acting up again, so decided to take a ‘slow’ day and to equate for the lack of jumping my step goal for today is 16k.
Even if we need some low impact days, we still need to be moving 🚶
Some walking, stretching, and a little IR/laser treatment and hopefully I’ll be back on the ropes tomorrow 🙏🏻
UPDATE: +18k steps by 10PM so mission accomplished

Sleigh the Scale day 6 of 20
So today I decided to do my own thing. Had some minor ache in the knees from walking the Christmas Markets in the weekend (+12k steps each day) slow walking and standing still are the worst for me..
So just wanted to do something and took the AMP’s out for a swing. Wanted to do 100 skips every minut for 15 minutes.
But then I saw my rank on the leaderboard rise. Decided top #300 would be nice, but then I got to #260 then I need to go for #250 right! All of a sudden I’m #220 so naturally I went for #200, and you know what soon I was #169 and then I remembered I just needed to do a little workout today and finally called it quits 🙈
Ended up with 2.501 skips today well above the 1.500 that was my target 🎯 the feel of the handles might not suite me right now but the app sure pushes me though 😁
Have a great day all 🙏🏻

Sleigh the Scale day 5 of 20!
Hey fam 👋 you know it’s not only day 5, or Friday but today also marks the 25% completion 🥳
So let’s celebrate this weekend but honouring all our progress by eating healthy (perhaps even in a deficit) and staying active with low impact movement.
Come Monday you alone will face the consequences of your actions this weekend so let’s plan to start next week on a high note 💪🏻
Have a great Friday and love weekend 🙏🏻

Sleigh the Scale day 4 of 20
Not sure what I think of the workout today 🤔 was looking forward to all three exercises EMOM 🙈 see that would have been a challenge 😁
Well a day of easy workout might be what I needed (physical NOT mentally 🙈) so just looking forward to get blown out tomorrow 💪🏻
Have a great day 🙏🏻

Sleigh the Scale day 3 of 20
It seems like the squats and lunges still is a bit of a problem for the knees 😞 nothing major, yet, only small irritations..
And had to cut it short, just didn’t have the extra 15 min this morning. So gotta get the missing chin-ups in tonight.
Hope you all are hanging in and having a blast 🙏🏻

Sleigh the Scale day 2 of 20
So from a subtle reminder from Joe De Luca I tried to “half-ass” todays workout, to try and avoid further injuries. And guess I somewhat succeeded.
Still I may have pushed a little too hard but that has, and might always be, my ‘Achilles heel’.. tonight I’ll do some deep tissue stretching and try to get to bed early.
Have a great day all 🙏🏻

Sleigh the Scale day 1 of 20
Feels great to be back at it, hopefully injury free this time 🙈 certainly feeling the added weight I’ve put on the last 1-2 months of doing little work🙂 but all the more reason to get it done 💪🏻
This will also make the foreword to my next weight loss phase! Using this challenge to hopefully get back to where I was a few months ago and the January marks the first of two, 3 months weight loss cycles. Hoping to be down 40 lbs, by august 2024 (that’s 1.5 lbs per week) 😬
But for now let’s just Do The Thing 💪🏻
