			Hil and I walked Shiva up to the pool and then home.  Clear and warm.  We started at:  10:12am;  41m 40s duration;  1.53 miles;  3,494 steps;  552 calories;  155 bpm max HR during walk;  101 bpm avg HR during walk.  7m in peak HR zone;  8m in cardio HR zone;  25m in fat burn HR zone;  2m in out of HR zone.  Splits:  27m 16 avg pace;  1m)  27m 14s;  .52m)  13m 26s. Morning weight:  357lbs.  My weight is up 3lbs from yesterday, up 5lb from four days ago and down 20lbs from the start of the JBF (28 Dec 2020 377lbs).  Weigh-in was in sweats, with shoes and feet centered under the scale face and leaning forward on toes with my knees bent.  Today was a “ITF” day (14).  3lbs gain on the home scale from yesterday / 5lbs Total loss from the start of the year.  Water pill today.  Today was my fourteenth “ITF” day.  A bowl of cereal and two toast for breakfast about 11:45am.  I had six pieces of fried chicken (2 drums, 2 thighs, 2 wings) for lunch at 1pm.  I am skipping dinner, but I will be having juice / blend in the evening.  I had 34ozs of black coffee in late morning / early afternoon.  I had 96ozs of juice / blend during the evening.  I will have 5ozs of water with my night-time pills. Sleep:  Another bad night of sleep.  Up just about every 45 minutes until 4:30am.  I then slept until 8:05.  Light out at 12:40am;  up at 8:05am.  VERY tired / sleepy. 2.25 miles difference on FitBit.

			Hil and I walked Shiva around the neighborhood.  Clear and warm in the sun;  cool if out of the sun.  My right knee and lower back are hurting.  We started at:  9:58am;  46m 14s duration;  1.7 miles;  3,850 steps;  482 calories;  145 bpm max HR during walk;  87 bpm avg HR during walk.  1m in peak HR zone;  3m in cardio HR zone;  39m in fat burn HR zone;  2m in out of HR zone.  Splits:  27m 31s avg pace; (FB didn’t capture split data). Morning weight:  354lbs.  My weight is down 1lbs from yesterday, down 1lb from four days ago and down 23lbs from the start of the JBF (28 Dec 2020 377lbs).  Weigh-in was in sweats, with shoes and feet centered under the scale face and leaning forward on toes with my knees bent.  Today was a “ITF” day (13).  1lbs loss on the home scale from yesterday / 8lbs Total loss from the start of the year.  Water pill today.  Today was my thirteenth “ITF” day.  A bowl of cereal and two toast for breakfast about 11:45am.  No lunch.  I am skipping dinner, but I will be having juice / blend in the evening.  I had 5ozs of OJ in the morning; 34ozs of black coffee in late morning / early afternoon.  I had 96ozs of juice / blend during the evening. Sleep:  Up twice at 1:30am and 6:10am, but it felt like a terrible night’s sleep.  Lots of aches in my shoulders and lower back pain – which may be kidney stones / grains getting passed. 3.36 miles difference on FitBit.

			Workout:  I started at:  4:22pm;  55m 5s duration;  258 steps;  211 calories;  99 bpm max HR during workout;  75 bpm avg HR during workout.  23m in fat burn HR zone;  32m in out of HR zone. Today (Day 13 of 17) I did all sets together again for the seventh day (not in a row, as I missed four rainy days).  I did the normal 5 sets of 50 pull-downs (250 total) with 40lbs;  and, 5 sets of 25 side pull-downs (both sides) with 40lbs.  I finished with five sets of simple hangs.  All were partial hangs (feet on ground / knees bent). Today was done with breaks between rotations.  I was using old socks (again) to protect the back of my hands during the side pull-downs. They worked and kept my hands warm(ish) in the cold air.  I believe I will continue to use them.  I’m not sure why, but I felt as if I needed longer breaks between the sets – hence the longer time to complete the workout.  Also, HR is down, but I had the FB in my left sock instead of on my wrist.  On my wrist it interferes with the workout and with the socks / wristbands.

Today was done with almost no breaks between rotations, but I was trying to work out how to protect the back of my hands during the side pull-downs. I’ve been blistering the skin off. My “fix” is to wear wrist sweatbands. It worked, but not well. I’m going to try wearing an old sock with holes cut out for my fingers / thumb.

Sleep:  Up twice (3:45am and 6:30am).  Light off at 11:50pm;  up at 8:05am.  I felt like it was a pretty good night’s sleep. 5.34 miles difference on FitBit.

Today was done with almost no breaks between rotations, but I was trying to work out how to protect the back of my hands during the side pull-downs.  I’ve been blistering the skin off.  My “fix” is to wear wrist sweatbands.  It worked, but not well.  I’m going to try wearing an old sock with holes cut out for my fingers / thumb.

Sleep:  Up once at 4:50am.  Tossed until between 5:30am and 6am.  Light off at 11:30pm;  up at 7:05am.  I am very tired and dizzy. 2.55 miles difference on FitBit.

My timing of the set is about right – a little under 3 minutes per set so almost 10 minutes for the full rotation.  Today was done with almost no breaks between rotations.

Sleep:  Up once at 5:55am.  Light out at 11:55pm;  up at 9:10am!!  It felt like a great night of sleep. 2.37 miles difference on FitBit.

I did all sets together again for the second day in a row.  I did the normal 5 sets of 50 pull-downs (250 total) with 40lbs;  and, 5 sets of 25 side pull-downs (both sides) with 40lbs.  I finished with five sets of simple hangs.  I didn’t bother trying to hang from the bar today.  I just lowered myself until I could almost lift free of the ground.  I was able to hold for 10 seconds every time.  I think I prefer breaking up the sets throughout the day, but it IS easier to just knock them out in one go.  It’s just not as fun. My earlier estimate (and recording) of how long it takes to complete a set was completely off.  I was estimating 3 minutes per set based on 1 lift per second times (1) pull-down, (1) right side pull-down, and (1) left side pull-down.  It actually takes about 8 to 9 minutes per set.  It seems I’m taking about three seconds per lift and not one(1).  I will use this time going forward, but I will not go back to correct the earlier times.  Yesterday, was 58 minutes.  Today was 44 minutes.  So, I did get better, but yesterday I did the weights after the step-ups, so I was probably a lot more tired / slower for the same number of sets (5).

I brought my boxing kit outside, but I was just too bloody knackered to box after the previous step-ups and then the pull-downs.  Tomorrow is another day…

Sleep: Up once at 4am. Light off at 11:50pm; up at 7am. I felt like it was a pretty bad / restless night’s sleep due to the high winds. 2.67 miles difference on FitBit.

I set up my “vertical double-double” today and tried it out.  It seems good.  I also tried adding the “horizontal single-double” with the “VDD” and it kind of gives me a “triple-double” and gives me a body target, an upper-cut target and a head-shot target.  It still needs work as I can’t use the horizontal single-double as a slip-rope when the VDD is set up too.  But, I can switch between them and just the weights in seconds – certainly less than a minute.

From now on, I am using a standard of 3 minutes per set to account for time as it takes about 1 minute to do each of the three exercises of 50 repetitions.
