Training in Quarantine - Day 71

#

Cooler day, but has been raining on and off all day, so instead of my walk, I did my FitBit workout -- and struggled with several of the exercises.

Finished it, and was about to go out to walk, and it started raining again....

EDIT: It stopped after a while and I went ahead and did my walk.

Training in Quarantine - Day 70

#

Another cooler day. No rain, but still cloudy. Though when I started my short walk, it decided to start to rain half way round.

Training in Quarantine - Day 69

#

An early start to the day to deploy some stuff into production. A few hiccups but it settled

A cloudy, and much cooler day today.

Did a short walk, and got caught in the rain. Wasn't heavy, but annoying.

Training in Quarantine - Day 68

#

1 hour walk today, in 25degC heat, including some shopping at the Co-Op (which luckily had no queue outside).

Chased up Toyota as they hadn't called me, and they finally called me in the afternoon. They confirmed I had passed credit checks so the backup car was reserved for me.

However, the first choice car was still reserved for the other buyer and they were still waiting to find out if they passed checks on another finance company (Black Horse).

So it seems that the finance is primarily with Toyota Finance and the secondary finance company is Black Horse (which, ironically, is who I had my finance with when I had my Skoda.) According to my Toyota sales person, Black Horse is a higher interest finance company.

Training in Quarantine - Day 67

#

Did my FitBit workout today, using my Chromecast Ultra. My Sky Broadband router seems very tetchy today and twice dropped my WiFi connection while my phone was casting to my TV, meaning I had to reconnect and recast both times.

And went ahead and did my 1 hour walk.

Training in Quarantine - Day 66

#

Longer walk today, and somehow managed to trip 5km distance, but looking at the GPS, looks like it messed up and didn't track properly, showing me literally flying over houses....

Pollen count seems to be high today, got back and my eyes started itching.

Didn't do the workout -- my walk was later than expected due to us watching over a neighbour's son while they move their things into several van loads (they were moving out, but only a few minutes up the road)

Training in Quarantine - Day 65

#

Another nice day. Did the longer walk, but tried a different route. Seems a bit shorter than my usual one, so probably will keep the old route

Training in Quarantine - Day 64

#

Another nice hot day. And a nice walk in the sun. It is starting to look like I might be picking up a bit of a tan from my walking in the sun....

Training in Quarantine - Day 63

#

Did my FitBit workout before my walk, next workout is Back & Core.

Another nice sunny hot day. A breeze made it a bit more tolerable.

Training in Quarantine - Day 62

#

Another nice and hot, sunny day. Short walk, lots of pollen and moderately sweaty as a result.

Training in Quarantine - Day 61

#

Day 61 of quarantine. A cloudy day, but still pretty warm. Short loop walk today.

Each day is beginning to melt into each other. So this is what prison feels like....

Training in Quarantine - Day 60

#

Day 60 of quarantine. Finally got an opportunity to test my new Chromecast Ultra with my FitBit coach in my living room. There was more room here to do the workout versus my bedroom and shed plenty more sweat than I normally do doing the workout in my bedroom.

Weather is still plenty windy and the temperature is much lower than the past couple of days...

Trying to decide whether to do my walk later....

EDIT: I did.

Training in Quarantine - Day 59

#

Nearing day 60 in quarantine. Today was a very window, cloudy start to the day. My bedroom door in fact slammed closed at 3am in the morning from the gust of wind that came through the open window.

My final car cheque FINALLY came through. Guess this now means I have to give up the car within 7 days. Which is a bugger because now I'll have to get the bus to the car showroom in June.

Regards to training, I did my walk and am currently contemplating whether to do my FitBit workout today or tomorrow....

Training in Quarantine - Day 58

#

Update on my car. They say the final cheque is in the post, and now they will be contacting me to arrange to pick up the car.

But I haven't been able to buy a new car because all the showrooms were locked down. I asked them to reconsider.

Meanwhile, another hot day so I did the walk and not the workout, also probably not a good idea to do a workout so soon after eating lots of pizza ^_^

Training in Quarantine - Day 57

#

Did my FitBit workout today. Trying to workout in 25degC heat isn't fun, but I did it with my windows open and a fan blowing in my face.

And, I did my walk to boot. Again the shorter walk due to being on call. My pace was notably slower than usual during the walk due to the heat. But as a result, wasn't sweating as much as I was expecting. Still was, though ^_^

Training in Quarantine - Day 56

#

Same as yesterday, a scorcher of a day, so a quick walk in case I got an incident call.

Training in Quarantine - Day 55

#

Scorcher of a day today and I start my week of on call :(

Did my short walk and felt like I'd been walking for an hour because of the heat....

Training in Quarantine - Day 54

#

Same as yesterday, didn't want to risk being too sweaty without having access to a shower.

We got someone in the check the drains, we even got a rod thingy to help unblock it. Turns out part of the steel pipe in the house was rusted and some of the outbound water was getting blocked by the rust.

Training in Quarantine - Day 53

#

Walk but no Fitbit workout -- my shower drains have blocked up so I'm avoiding making myself sweat too much as I'm unable to clean myself properly until I can get that drain unblocked.

Training in Quarantine - Day 52

#

No FitBit workout today, but did my long walk. Tomorrow is a non-working day for me, so will use that day to do my FitBit workout, study and do some side projects. Oh, and shopping too....

Training in Quarantine - Day 51

#

FitBit workout today -- Legs, Arms Shoulders. Sweaty workout, but not too sweaty.

Went and did my 3k walk afterwards too.

Next workout is "Total Body"

Training in Quarantine - Day 50

#

Finally hit day 50 of quarantined exercising. A colder, but less windy day. Big lap today, but decided to try cutting some of the longer corners to see how much of a difference that made.

My hair is really starting to grow out and is beginning to really irritate my ears.

And I found out my second backup domain I play development with no longer had its email forwarders working, and when I logged in, my account seemed to be pretty borked. A back and forth with support emerged that my hosting provider got acquired (again) and looks like my data was not transferred properly, or was empty when it was transferred. More likely someone f**ked up during the migration.

They recreated my account but it's still pretty flaky. I'm asking whether I'll get a credit for the 6 months of failed hosting (the acquisition took place at the end of last year), and I'm seriously considering transferring the domain off this hosting provider and onto Google Domains, but I would lose my email forwarding. I think I'll look at buying another dummy domain on Google Domains and test with that for a bit.

Training in Quarantine - Day 49

#

Fitbit workout today wasn't too bad. Not as intense as my last one. Still sweaty, but not "dropping beads of sweat" sweaty. Next workout is Legs, Arms & Shoulders

Also did my 3km walk, but today was super windy during the walk so I won't be surprised if I catch a cold from this.

Training in Quarantine - Day 48

#

Short walk today, 3km, no fitbit workout as my arms are still hurting too much from yesterday's workout.

Training in Quarantine - Day 47

#

Short 3 km walk and fitbit workout. There was some emphasis on arms today, and my arms are SUPER sore.

Next fitbit workout is back and core
