The Charm of Fitocracy

I've been going happily on this site for a while now, and just can't get enough, and now I'll explain why.

At this minute I'm on level 16, and am 2583 points away from level 17. Like in a game, where you get exp to level up. So I go do a workout (there's a 3 workout max per day, but no limit to how big one workout is) - this time a workout like this:

• Bent Over Barbell Row
  • 10 kg x 20 reps 29
  • 10 kg x 20 reps 29
  • 10 kg x 20 reps 29
• Dumbbell 2-Arm Triceps Extension
  • 5 kg x 20 reps 12
  • 5 kg x 20 reps 12
  • 5 kg x 20 reps 12
• Barbell Bench Press
  • 10 kg x 30 reps 59
  • 10 kg x 30 reps 59
  • 10 kg x 30 reps 59
• Reverse Crunch
  • 30 reps 50
  • 30 reps 50
  • 30 reps 50
• Dumbbell Bicep Curl
  • 5 kg x 10 reps 32
  • 5 kg x 10 reps 32
  • 5 kg x 10 reps 32
• Body Weight Squat
  • 10 reps 8
  • 10 reps 8
  • 25 reps 21 
   

And voilá, I have only 2000 points to go to level 17 and I didn't even break a sweat yet!

I usually try to get about a thousand points  per day, so that I keep up with the routine, rather than just getting to an even number, but now I'm a bit pressed for time, so a whole workout was out of the question. But a short 583 point workout went perfectly well, and I do feel it in my muscles. My arms and legs are slightly shaky...

 

Today's thoughts and being hung over

So I went partying last night. So I had a great time. So I didn't wake up at home. I feel both incredibly happy and like a huge disappointement for my father to have such a drunk disgusting little whore for a daughter.

But this could all be solved with two things a. stop drinking and b. start lying. Then he wouldn't know what a disappointing thing I am and I'd feel happy about remembering my night and the names of the people I met there. Because I met some really really nice people and would like to get together with them on more occasions! I might of course see them at the next event, who knows.

I feel a lot more depressed today than for a while, but I think that's the alcoholic disappointment speaking, rather than the actual depression. Of course it doesn't help that I'm tired, can't sleep and my stomach hurts again like there's a hell in my uterus.

Suppose I'm hung over, but I don't really know what hangovers feel like because I don't usually get them, no matter how much or what I drink. The only thing that ever gave me a headache (and it wasn't a bad one) was sparkly wine, so I'm staying clear of champagnes, but other than that I mix and match and blah and not get any hangover symptoms. Except maybe a slight trembling. But I tremble on a regular basis anyways, so it doesn't really necessarily have to be linked to alcohol.

I'm thinking of cutting my hair a bit and getting a side fringe. I like scene hairstyles a lot but don't know if they'd suit me and don't really know how to cut one myself, but I'm too cheap and too poor to go to a coiffure.

Also been keeping up on my Fitocracy account - I'm almost on level 10 and I'm super excited! I just love that site so much!

Today's thoughts and partying

So today I spent with shoveling snow and doing other workouts for my Fitocracy account (I'm Frankie Savage there as well if you wanna find me) and going to the 3rd Anniversary Infektio Club event. It's a aggrotech sort of event, I don't actually exactly know what's going to be played since I want it to be a surprise, but it is cyber goth-y anyways.

I'm so looking forward to this, although I'm crap at being in bars alone and I'm terrified of dancing without being a. alone or b. very drunk. But I'm going to try and make the most of it, at least I'll try and get a few photos out of the event and I can't wait to wear my outfit. I chose my faux leather highwaist trousers, my DIY biohazard top and a lace cardigan. Oh I love clubbing! So excited!

I'm also going to have another photoshoot next week on Wednesday. This one is during the day, so we'll be working with natural sunlight! I just can't wait!
I'm also seeing my therapist on Monday again, and the week after that we'll have a session with both me and my dad, which is really good, because we are dealing with similar issues when it comes to mental health, and it's really good if both our problems get solved together rather than separately!


What do you think about partying/clubbing? Do you like to go out and dance? What kind of music do  you prefer in clubs?

Fitocracy - I just LOVE it

Before I spent time on my computer all day long, I couldn't be bothered with Fitocracy since it needs constant updating on progress, but now that I write my blog anyway every day, and thus spend time online, I noticed I just love the programme! It gives me much more inspiration and motivation for exercise than anything else, I can do easy stuff and hard stuff and I always get points for them, no matter what.

Today I levelled myself up to level 5, which isn't much, but for one single day's home exercising it's a hell of a lot for me! So I'm really glad I have this motivation now and feel like doing this. I hope it lasts too, because I've gained weight (no muscles) rather than losing it (and gaining muscles...) so this is an excellent way to get that sorted out.

I do need to buy some new weights though, I only have 2 kg and 5 kg weights, and I desperately need bigger weights if I plan on doing this more!
