2017 Workout/Weightloss Accountability Thread

Monday: F3 Crucible
Tuesday: Bench & Spin Class
Wednesday: ZZZZZZZZ
Thursday: 2.5 mile run
Friday: F3 Flood Zone, including 15 minutes of EC. 1,031 calories burned in 60 minutes.

If you are Raleigh-area, F3 is having events on consecutive Mondays.

"Convergence" Labor Day at the Art Museum, 7:00. Hour-long workout. Should be 100 people, with both running and nonrunning workouts.

9/11 Stairclimb at Carter-Finley at 5:30 a.m. in remembrance. Gather at Gate Four for 110 flights of stairs. Lots of people will be wearing rucks. This is F3 Raleigh's signature event for the year and would be a great one for new people to see.
 
21 mile run today at 9:00 per mile pace. 151.7 pounds down from 183 in January. This accountability thing is pretty cool.
 
Week 35 Update:

Still dealing w/ patellar tendonosis. Has not improved at all over the last few months of rest/physical therapy. MRI last week confirmed it is likely too severe for rest/PT to heal it. Doctor is pushing PRP injections at this point, which are NOT cheap (or covered by insurance).

On top of that, I tore a ligament in my ring finger a few weeks ago. Thought I just jammed it, but it wasn't really getting better after two weeks. X-rays confirmed no broken bone. My finger now bends way more to the left at the first knuckle than it should... And I still can't make a fist (or comfortably grip a bar).

I'm falling apart.

Weight hovering between 193-195, but I'm feeling soft given I haven't been able to do much. It's depressing.

Went to a f3 workout, wasn't for me. Good on you guys who get down with that culture.

Fwiw, there is a lot of range within F3. Where are you and what are you looking for? I help lead one and we have a great culture of microolds. Other places are younger/more broish.

Thanks for Q'ing and taking care of business this morning at Parliament, Sour Mash. I posted in Morehead City this morning. Good bunch of PAX there.

Out of curiosity, what is the culture at F3 with which you are unable to get down? I get a great workout with good friends and have fun doing it.

Oh it was a few things, probably in this order:

1- I am already working out 10+ hours per week (cycling-based workouts) and this isn't fun or productive enough to replace any of those hours. 10 ish is the max I can handle with a job and family, so no F3.
2- I am sure every town has its own culture, but frankly the one I went to was a bit... boot camp. Everyone counting off the reps out loud, going for runs in the woods with a backpack, etc. External motivation isn't my thing.
3- It seemed like a little cult. Everyone got a cute little nickname, etc. I have my own two exercise cults already (MTB and road cycling teams), no room for a third.
4- I am not looking for any additional Jesus in my workouts.
5- I enjoy working out with guys and girls who are fast.

All this said, I have lots of actual friends who enjoy F3. Good on you all. I think it's a great workout for folks who aren't dedicated to any specific activity and want to be able to do lots of reps of body weight exercises.
