    Starting my 70.3 HIM training today. I'm hoping LCHF will be good to me during my endurance training. We will see.

    Yesterday and today I got in just shy of 10k steps before exercise by being more active at work and home ( and much less efficient). I tried to monitor flights of stairs but my garmin is acting wonky so I know it was off the last two days. I’m into my fourth week of p90x30 and am surprised at how few steps I’ve logged with some of the dvds. The toning is amazing so I’ll definitely see it through besides continuing this NEAT journey.

    Over 12k steps yesterday. 2000 of that was after my 1:15 walk. Did not get any housework done. Teens had a thing to go to last night at the library. Friday is going to be mad. sigh...

    SLRDL - 4x10 @ 30 pounds. I watched a few more videos on form last night since these were such a struggle for me last week and was reassured that a) they're really hard and b) I am doing them right.

    Pushups - 3x8

    Inverted Rows - 3x5

    Really struggled with arms today, they were supposed to be 4x10s, but I was shaking just in plank and could only get halfway down in the pushup. I hate horizontal pressing/pulling, but that may be because it's "only" bodyweight and doesn't feel like I'm accomplishing anything.

    Though my bodyweight would be impressive if loaded onto a bar. Hmmm...

    Good day yesterday, all around. My steps are looking good for today, too!

    I think I would like to increase my cardio - I have a sitting/standing mini elliptical at home, but cannot start to use it. Though I go to yoga on Monday and Saturday (different trainers), Strength training on Wednesday and Pilates on Thursday. My weight is not moving down (or almost not moving), so it is a bit annoying (and it slowed down considerably when I started sports).

    I went to the gym today and used the weight machines. My wife and I took our son and our dog on a walk after I grilled our dinner. It has been a really nice day in Indianapolis, IN.

    My walk buddy at work canceled our noon walk so I worked through lunch. Not the best idea but I guess I just wasn't feeling it yesterday, couch potato at home too. Today is a new day and I enrolled in spin class for tonight. Happy to not be shut out again.

    Did strength and then a shorter walk (45min) since it was too sunny and warm to not. I went on to get over 12k step and turbo cleaned 2 bathrooms yesterday evening. Today...I don't know. I'll do my workout, which will be cardio but I don't have long. My oldest has a soccer game tonight. So I'll be on my feet watching and occupying the littles (7 and 9) while trying to at least pay a little attention to the game. I'll make sure to fidget lots today and see what I can squeeze in as far as NEAT, but it probably won't be as much. I'll get plenty cleaning tomorrow. :confounded:

    Yesterday I logged 10k steps and 20 flights of stairs before exercise took me to 21k steps for the day. Surprisingly I wasn’t worn out! I think it just balanced the two donuts from a local food truck I sampled at work.

    Upped my step goal yesterday from 5k to 10k, just for the day, but totally overdid it. Today, I am so sore and so tired I called out from work. I'm still doing stretches, but ow...

    Bump.
    And, did workout. Then got stuck on my butt in a car, then at a soccer game (they won and daughter scored), then at a restaurant after at the insistence of inlaws. I did not get good NEAT. Will get lots today. Plus I need to squeeze in a strength workout.

    Tried and got sick a bit. New meds bloated. Not sure what is bloat what is weight but progress is lacking this week. I did manage to get myself on the fitdesk a few times so there is that.

    I just got home from the gym. I used the weight machines and stretched before going home. I also chaperoned a field trip with my 8th grader to IUPUI, so I walked a lot before my gym workout.

    Got no exercise yesterday. so no strength. :disappointed: But I did get over 11k NEAT steps. Cleaned for 4 hours.

    Putting tomorrow's new thread up early. Teen girl has a game, 2 friends over and then I've got church Sun. May not have time if it isn't done now.

    Saturday was a bit of a lazy day for me after working in the yard Friday and not getting a run in. Still got in nearly 11k steps and 8 flights of stairs including a couple of dog walks in there.

    Even though yesterday was rainy I got in my long run and a swim that I had been putting off :)
    Also got in some meal prep. Yay!
