    This weekend I kicked some major butt and hit over my 1rm for deadlifts (215lbs) and could of easily done two at that weight. Needless to say this whole coach thing is FANTASTIC.

    Oh in minor details: My Monday is freaking fabulous because I have a NEPHEW! My little sister gave birth this morning and he is the most beautiful little guy I have ever seen <3

    Awww congratulations Auntie! Imagine how many babies you can put up with those arms, haha ;)

    Haha if my sister has her way there will be enough to fill her arms and mine twice over. She wants a giant family :)

    Not gonna lie, I totally deleted my beautifully logged tuna and avocado kale salad lunch and trimmed down my dinner in favour of making room for 1,700 calories worth of a homemade (and keto compliant) chocolate chip cookie dough protein ice cream. I'm scheduled to run 15 tonight so that's justifiable right? Lollllll

    Totally justifiable! Ice cream is the best!

    Yep! I've had B&J's for dinner more than once.

    Well that went bad fast lol. I need to stop attempting to branch out and just accept that the only sweet thing in life I have any ability to moderate is Buff Bake (BB is magical). With any luck all this ridiculous extra caloric fuel might be able to help me attempt a full marathon training run tonight though. Siiiiiiigh

    Maybe I am gross, but when you think about the volume of water in the average pool, versus how much pee a few people can possibly produce in an hour or so, and it really becomes a drop in the ocean. Plus the water is treated.

    The ones who annoy me are the ones who stop and chat in the lane section. You have half the pool to meander about in and I am clearly swimming up and down here in one of only 3 lanes I'm already sharing with 5 other swimmers. Rage!

    Still wish I could get back to swimming though.

    I don't think it's gross, I was just teasing. There are so many chemicals in public pools, pee doesn't stand a chance. I would love to start swimming, but I HATE being seen in a bathing suit, I hate being cold and wet, and I'm not a fan of public changing rooms.

    Why on earth would you hate being seen in a bathing suit Mo? I bet you look fab! I can understand the cold and wet business. My local pool only has cubicle changing. I think there is a little men's and women's section towards the back if communal changing is your thing, but I love the cubicles. Way more privacy and mixed groups don't have to wonder where each other got to.

    I do normally, if it involves being around the 'beautiful people' like the beach or something, but when I go swimming it's full of OAP's and people my size so I don't have an issue with it. I don't even bother shaving my legs half the time, I'm not exactly going to be still long enough for someone to see them anyway.

    There is nothing wrong with a giant family. I have one and it's usually a barrel of laughs.

    Confession: I don't remember the last time I shaved my legs. Maybe when I went to turkey in November?

    Consider it your winter layer. I do :wink:

    Fitbit challenges.

    Nicci won with 80k!
    Susie won with 100.9!
    Mo, I put you in the 'low steppers' but let me know if you want to do the other group or both.

    Everyone else let me know if you want me to change anyone else up this week!

    If anyone is missing and wants to join let me know.

    Way to go nicci! You've really gotten a lot the last few weeks.

    Haha thanks. The 2017 mileage challenge is really making me move, but I'm not sure if I can keep this up, it's interfering with work a bit.

    I should probably change groups though? Particularly as I was an advocate of high/low groups. I can change back when I drop back (as is inevitable)

    I've only done 88 miles so far :# x12 that leaves me 961 short. Once the weather picks up I'm sure the mileage will to.

    ETA I'm doing additional miles. I'm not counting my daily mileage. So if I go on my bike I will add that, but walking around the office day-to-day doesn't count. Have I just made my life really difficult?

    I'm tracking running independently so I get it. I'm on track with regular walking, etc. Because of the barn on weekends. I'm completely failing if I just track running.

    I'm not quite back to running yet. I think I'm too heavy for my knees to cope, I get a shooting pain in the back of the knee even if I walk too fast. Bike and swim seems to be helping it a lot though. I want to try running again in April-ish.

    I want to go to my local 24 Hour Fitness and see how busy the pool is after work. I think it would do my body good to get back to swimming. I like to swim and just don't have many opportunities to do it. It would be nice to not have to swim in a pool full of people.

    You spelled "pee" wrong. :laugh:

    That is always a possiblitiy with public pools, I am just hoping it isn't used much! Have you tried putting the small plates under your heels while wearing your lifting shoes during squats? That might help, like quik said. I am by no means as proficient a lifter as yourself or quik, but I want to be one day!

    What would be the purpose of the plates? I don't ever remember my feet hurting when we were doing heavy squats 3+ times a week before.

    It could be ankle mobility issues, hence the plate idea. Although it sounds like it could be something to do with your arches, I have horrid arches and have to be on the look out for them collapsing when I squat or dead.

    I bet that's what it is. How do I find out if it's the ankle thing?

    Kind of trial by fire to be honest, try the plates and then go from there. https://breakingmuscle.com/learn/6-mobility-exercises-for-an-a-to-grass-squat number 5 is what I do when warming up my ankles prior to squats.

    If I remember I'll send you a video of my squat/movement when I'm not paying attention to my arches.

    Here's the finished product of our attempt at homemade tempeh! Last night I fried it up with some garlic, pepper and salt.
    We have two more bags in the freezer for sometime next week as well, I think the next time we make some I'm going to find a better form mold for it so it won't crumple as much.

    In the first picture, I thought you had it sitting on the top of your toilet tank. :s:D

    How was it?

    :D

    thanks for almost having snot fly out of my nose from laughing. I had to go back & look at the picture.

    It looks good at @MissKalhan

    I've switched to oatmeal for breakfast (again, to get those freaking carbs up). Tuesday I tried it mixed with chocolate protein powder and 1.75 tablespoons of peanut butter - not bad. Yesterday was cinnamon bun protein powder and almond butter - not good.

    Last night at the gym they were clearancing out their single pack Quest protein powders, so I bought them all for $20. Which included 4 packs of the banana. I hate banana flavored things. I like bananas, but banana flavored? :s

    So, I thought I'd eat those first and get rid of them. Banana Quest protein powder and peanut butter in oatmeal? Freaking delicious. Who knew?

    Sounds good! I bought a few flavors at GNC with a $10.00 off coupon for my birthday. I'm going to try the Salted Caramel powder tomorrow.
