Lift, Train, Fitness

Feeling a lot of brain fog from study today, I have 2 assessments this week, 1 theory and one practical, I also have pic for my next assignment I need to take focussing on the properties of light.

Motivation is lacking to post on the forum at the moment, I don't have time to read a lot of diaries and most members are not interested in the exercise side of things posted in mine.

my enrolment in the next stage of my study has been provisionally approved pending completing my diploma this semester.

I know I have a lot of knowledge and experience but finding clients when you do not have the classic trainer looks and instead look like a Lord of The Rings dwarf on roids lol. There is not much of a market for pure strength and power training and I need to branch out to more general coaching.
 
I'm always interested in what you're doing, but don't necessarily understand it.
It doesn't hurt to have a break from the forum anyway, Tru. One thing I do have is time & you're "as busy as a one-legged arse kicker". Don't forget to take some downtime for yourself.
 
What Cate said. Also: I wish people DID care more for quality than for what their trainer looks like. Or even better: had exercise goals beyond looking good. Would save me and my colleagues a lot of work.
 
two more assessments passed, waiting for camera battery to recharge while I eat lunch (mutton chops with excess fat trimmed)

this afternoon will be spent walking around taking photos for photography assignment.
 
Mutton chops sound great right about now and I'm just getting up! Congratulations on two more assessments done.
 
I think the way I have been feeling this week has a lot to do with the fact that it would have been mums birthday on Monday.

Submitted my application to join ESSA this afternoon.

I think that’s a perfectly normal explanation, Tru. You’ll never stop missing her, but it gets better with time.
 
It has been a long day at uni today, early start in the morning so I can get to the sandblow before dawn to take photos for uni assignment (Light - natural and artificial)
 
An interesting side note came up today at uni concerning the "landmine", the tutors were told by a colleague that it is better to use the alternate name "Torsinator" because working with returned soldiers with PTSD simply referring to an exercise with "landmine" in the name was severely triggering.

It is hard to tell what some people get triggered by, but this one should have been obvious yet had never crossed my mind.
 
Communication details can make such a big difference with some people. Looking forward to your new pictures!
 
Feeling fucking sore after this mornings effort, up and out of the house at 3:30 am to drive into Rainbow beach and park before hiking in with camera equipment in the dark (moonless night) mostly up hill before walk/sliding down the blow to reach the top of the cliffs. completed the photo shoot by my god I forgot how hard it was to slog your way back up the sand blow in the very fine soft sand (basically a very large steep sand dune).

my hip and hamstrings are screaming at me right now while I am cooking some chicken to eat before heading into town to photograph the lighting of the ANZAC flame at 5:30 tonight. The flame counts as a natural light source for my photography assignment. I don't think I will have the energy to photograph automotive light trails for artificial light I am absolutely exhausted.
 
The distance into the blow is not huge and is a well maintained track, but the 800 meters back up the steep sand to the track is an absolute killer, locals launch hang gliders by running down the sand and local kids will body board down but it is dangerous because the steepest part is near the cliff and you can build up a hell of a lot of speed on a board and not be able to stop before going over the cliff.

How did your knee do in the loose sand?

Knee done ok, careful steady steps, but it transferred the pain up the system to my hips, the price I am paying for walking in a way to protect the knees. There have been a few exercises however that I have not been able to do at Uni, they have mostly been the tough stuff that you would program for a very fit and healthy person with no injury history.
 
I did not get into town to photograph the ANZAC day ceremonies, I was too tired after yesterday. I was also not happy with my 30 minute star trails exposure from last night, I got pixel hot spot noise, there is an advanced setting on my camera to reduce this but it will turn a 30 minute exposure into 1 hour to take the same shot when the camera does a dark frame exposure of the same length as the initial photo exposure to filter out the noise. Oh well I will head out again tonight and again in the morning if I need to. I still need 5 more photos that I am happy with for the assignment.

I also have a small list of stuff I want to look in the dollar stores for to use in my studio for some of the other pics.
 
No surprise you´re tired and it was probably sensible not to push it. One of my favorite, constantly-in-use bowls is getting close to breaking and I´d live to be able to do a cheap-store trawl to find a replacement that would also fit the insulating overbowl. So now I´m finding myself jealous of your dollar store shop :D
