Walking and kayaking over the weekend, strength on Wed as I was out of town Mon-Tue but managed to get in 210 squats, 140 modified pushups at the hotel. 'Some' before dinner snacking last night but was hummus and veggies.
CW 175.5, not surprising after a camping weekend and air travel after. Should be back to 174 tomorrow?1 -
My strength training workout last Thursday was disappointing. Weights I could lift well on Monday were a struggle. Rep ranges at my top weights were substantially lower than the previous workout. All of this was because I was quite drained after a less-than-ideal sleep and a draining day at work.
Today's workout was much better. The rep ranges were a vast improvement, getting back to where they should be except for my bench press. All this after an excellent night of sleep. For me, it was a reminder that diet and exercise all rest on the foundation of getting a good night's sleep. I think I will have to focus on that more.
Diet has been on point, as have calories. Better yet, weight has dropped. Yesterday was the day for my official weight, and I was down to the 171 range. This morning I was 170.4 pounds. My body seems to be consistently following the pattern of bouncing up and down in a certain weight range, then out of no where dropping 3-4 pounds into a new weight range. The pattern seems to extend over about a 3-5 week stretch. While this gives me hope of breaking through the 170 pound milestone into the 160s before the end of May, knowing how the pattern seems to go, I am only going to be tentatively optimistic.0 -

Wonderful job staying active. I need to get our kayaks down and head out.0 -

My results for the month (based on goal of: Logging my food and going on at least 1 walk a day, no matter how small):
+ Logging food: Besides Memorial Day weekend, was done religiously - so I consider this a win and a step forward
- Going on 1 walk a day: Actual taking a walk has only been 1-2 times per week. Add to that yard work 1-2x per week. So not exactly a win, but more active than I have been in a long time.
