Twelfth Week12/22/2019 This is the final week of the project. During these past twelve weeks, I have done more exercises than I've honestly done at least half a year. However, I believe that I definitely could have done better than I what I did now. When I started, I could lift a maximum of 40 or 60 pounds. Now I can lift around 80 or 90 pounds, which is an improvement, but it's still disappointing that if I worked harder, I could've had far better results. On the first week, I thought that this was going to be an easy project and that I would benefit greatly from it. I didn't realize the potential that I could suffer from burnout. As time went on, I felt less and less motivated to do it. Thinking back, this probably wasn't the best idea for a project, however I don't regret doing this project because I did benefit from doing these exercises. Overall, it's half success and half failure. I may have benefited from it, but I also didn't benefit as much as I should've.

Tenth and Eleventh Week12/15/2019 During this week and the week before, I was able to get some exercise in. When going to the gym, I was able to lift a good 60 pounds in on form of equipment, and close to 80 or 90 in another. I don't what the different types of equipment were called, but I was able to put some good work into mostly my upper body, like my chest and biceps. Seeing as we are getting close to the end of the year, I will have to try the best I can until the year is over. That's not to say I won't be exercising anymore afterward, but definitely not as much as this gets tiring, especially for someone of my strength.
Ninth Week12/1/2019 I don't have any data at the moment. It has been hard keeping up with this project. That's why I haven't posted in a while. To exercise everyday, at least for me, is really hard to get used to. I don't want to get burned out by doing this project, but I'm afraid that it is a possibility. With that in mind, I am going to try my best to make sure I get this done. I will be sure to have data next week, or else the progress I have made already will be for nothing.
Sixth Week11/10/2019 Not much has happened since last week. Of course my performance has increased, albeit slightly. Just that nothing has really happened over the course of this week so there isn't really anything to talk about. But on to the results...
The weights in the gym that I can lift are still about the same as usual if not a little higher, from 40 to 50 lbs. I want to clarify how I do these exercises. The total is how much I can do before I literally can't do it anymore. The painful ones are how much I can do before I have to stop for a few seconds then keep going afterward. That's where it gets painful. We will just wait and see how much more I can go during the next few weeks.
Fifth Week11/3/2019 Great news, my computer is up and running again. My latest post was made on my mom's computer and she was gone with it for a while. But now my computer is fixed, hopefully, and I will make sure that my weekly posts are made weekly.
So far during this project I haven't made any dietary changes. I don't really have the will to do so, since I love what I eat. However the food I eat consists of mostly diary and protein, so I should be fine.
Third and Fourth Week10/23/2019 This post is coming late due to my computer killing itself. My computer has stopped working to the point where it won't even boot up. However it hasn't stopped me from continuing the project. Here are my results...
These are all stuff I can do at home. In the gym I can still do 40 to around 50 pounds, arms and legs. Any extra equipment I have at home is in the garage attic. I can use them, but it's really hot up there and it'll be rough to do more exercises on them. I will wait to it gets colder to do it, since I like exercising in colder conditions.
Second Week10/13/2019 During the second week, I did my push-ups and sit-ups every day apart from Friday, where I went out to an event and didn't come back till 11 at night and was too tired to do anything after. Despite that, these are my results...
The improvements over the last week aren't much, but it is a start. If I continue to do these exercises until the end of the school semester, I should be able to do way more than before. I still haven't been able to go to the gym, but I do know the average weight I can manage, which is about 40 for both my arms and legs. I will try to go to the gym during this week to check for certain my limits as of now.
Week #110/6/2019 I am going to do some push-ups and sit-ups and record the total amount I did and the ones that made me feel pain. By recording the ones that made me feel pain I am able to really bring my body to the limit and a little past it, instead of just stopping when it hurts, which doesn't do anything for the body. Here is what I got...
Right now my legs are sore by racing someone on a bike the day before this post, so I will be sure to post the time it took for me to run a mile on the next blog. I will keep doing push-ups and sit-ups daily and record the ones I can do next Sunday to see if I made any progress. I will also try to go to the gym, but I can't do it everyday since I don't have my licence, so my parents will drive me there and then I can record the max weights I can lift. If I can keep doing these routines I will surely be much stronger by the end of the semester.
