New term

I am not doing a good job posting. I am sorry. I really like the bullet point format from the last post so I think I am going to use it again.

Fitness

  • My Fitbit arrived. It is really awesome, I like getting status updates but I wish it could see my weightlifting more accurately. I think it will help more when I start running again.
  • Made new PR in bench squat OHP and deadlifts
  • None of my clothes fit anymore :(
Work

  • New term started
  • My schedule is bad but I have great students
  • My new teaching license arrived, I will start job hunting. 
Will finish Korean later. 
미안해요. 저는 진짜 바빴어요 그래서 내 블로그를 업데이트하지 않았어요. 글 머리 기호를 좋아요.

운동

  • 내 fitbit와 도착했어요. 그 대박있어요. 하지만 역도를 모니터링 안하요 (doesn't track weightlifting). 나는 실행을 시작할 하면 fitbit는 저를 도움

November

This blog will be more spacey then normal.

This week:

  • I started my next cycle of 5/3/1.
  • Saw Interstellar at my towns new Imax theater.
  • Got some more Xmas shopping done
  • Got paid ^-^


In the upcoming week:


Workout update: I've began running again. Running is really taking a toll on my lower back. I need to read up on that. I also need to start buying some winter running gear, I would like to buy some tights and a long sleeve under armour compression shirt. All of my lifts are still going up. I have a bit of tightness in my IT bands and my shoulder. Im going to keep foam rolling those out.

이번 주 :


  • 저 는 다음  운동 계획을 시작했어요
  • 우리 동네의 새 Imax 영화관에 저는 인터스텔라를 보었어요
  • 저는 크리스마스 쇼핑을 했어요


다음 주:


  • 윤미는 면접이 있어요, 화이팅!
  • 저는 다음 주말에 "뮤직쇼 웨딩"을 볼거예요


운동:
저는 달리기를 다시 시작했어요.. 달리기를 하면 허리가 아파요. 허리 아픈 걸 고치기 위해 공부를 좀 해야겠어요. 또 나는 겨울에 입을 트레이닝복도 사야 해요. 바지하고 긴소매의 언더아머를 사고 싶어요. 언더아머를 좋아요. 내 장경인대와 어깨가 조금 땅겨요. 그레서 근막이완용 폼롤러를 할 거예요.

No tricks or treats

My workouts are going really well these days.  To the left I have linked a video of myself doing a double OHP with 67kg (about 150 lbs). Just getting ready for Christmas season trying to figure out all the things I want to buy others. I was also thinking about buying a fitbit charge or a microsoft band I am not sure which one I would like to purchase yet. I am leaning towards the charge because it looks comfortable but I do love the features of the band and it is just so geeky.

I did my first round of shopping for my niece and bought her a Korean stuffed animal from the show Pororo that she can add to her collection. I also got her a lovely book called "The Book With No Pictures"

I just finished my last month of 5/3/1 with excellent results. I'll post my workout pattern for next month below. I have to start running again I haven't done it much since my last cold. I have also decided to start translating my posts into Korean as practice. I will post a WIP version first and update it when it gets corrected.

WIP
최근에 저는 운동을 열심히 했어요. 왼쪽에 저의 오버헤드 프레스 비디오를 올려뒀습니다 67kg x 2회. (67kg는 150파운드와 같아요). 최근에 저는 크리스마스일에 준비했어요. 생각또 무엇을 사거싶어요.그리고 운동량 측정를 사고싶어요.  저는 Fitbit charge와 Microsoft band 중에 무엇을 살지 고민하고 있습니다. 핏비트는 마이크로소프트 밴드 보다 좋아요. 차지보고 편안한더.

저는 1차 쇼핑해었어요. 제 조카의 뽀로로인형 하고 책을 샀어요.

치금 5/3/1 10월 계획을 끝냈어요. 아래로 11월 계획을 쓸거예요. 지난주에 아픈었서 안달리었어요.

Its been a while.

Wow have I been busy. It feels like non stop action these days. So I will give you a quick summary of the past few weeks.

1. Yun mi is studying for her national exam. This means we can't meet that often and when we can she is often exhausted. I feel very sorry for her, but I know that she is working very hard for her/our future. And I am very proud of her.

2. I had a long lasting cold which really hindered my running. I actually haven't run in about two weeks. Winter is also starting to come which means I need to buy better out door running clothes soon. Ill have to research that in the upcoming week. On the other hand I did get to go to the LOL world championship and meet pro players like Sneaky and Hai. And I got to see Maximum the Hormone Concert.




3.Weight lifting has gone really well. My numbers are all going up and up. I am really enjoying my modified 5/3/1. Since I won't be updating as often ill just link to my google doc if you want to check out my progress.

My workout diary.

4. I have recently started to study Korean again. I have been really studying hard but I still feel only minor growth in my abilities.  I am doing around 250 anki cards a day plus studying and even watching some Korean tv. I have mostly been watching  내 여자친구는 구미호 (My girlfriend is a 9 tailed fox). I have found an interesting way to use it to study which I will upload here if I ever get time to show how.

5. I had an interview for a new job. While I won't find out if I passed the interview until winter I feel pretty confident with my interview. I am though a bit disappointed  with the position after going through the interview. At first I figured it would be a year as an intern then transfer to a teacher but it looks like the odds of that are low. So now I have to decide if I want to do the intern for the experience and training even if the likelihood of it turning into a job their is low. I am going to have to have a serious talk with some of my close friends and Yun mi. Which sucks because its such an awesome school and I'd be willing to do an internship for two years if I knew it would develop into something.

Almost forgot I had a blog

This weekend was lovely. Went and had a massage at Healing Hands in Itaewon. I also got to spend some time with my Lindsey overall very relaxing weekend. I also got to eat some pulled pork at Linus BBQ

But I also seemed to have banged up my Ankle running this weekend. Ill see how it feels after doing my dead lifts tonight.

Weekend

Saturday: Met Lindsey went out for lunch but we both fell ill so we went home and watched "Edge of Tomorrow". I found it to be a fantastic movie with great direction and a well done plot. She then cooked us some home made Juk. A type of rice poridge used in Korea for sick people. It was very lovely.



Sunday was spent with Lindsey in the morning followed by DND and video games. I also cooked some Dr. Pepper pulled pork for my friends. Also TSM came in second in there brackets which means they will get to play in the world championship here in Korea.


Today's work out is mostly recovery work light weights and kind of dull. I am going to try to run and bike a few km tonight. Also my headphones that I ordered off of Amazon came today, and my supplements (creatine, cookies and cream protein, honey, and multi vitamin) came from I-herb.




I'm going to try to make honey garlic chicken tonight.
