    I'm back on track after a great weekend. I'll be seeing my friend again Friday and Sat as a bunch of us are going to the beach together. Then she'll be off to Idaho again and I won't see her for another 5 or 6 years probably. We had a blast though.

    Today I'm back to my normal routine. Today was a light workout because I meet with my trainer tomorrow and I need to make sure I'm not worn out going in..... ;)

    Exercise: Foam roller/stretches. 30 min calisthenics/strength training including 3X 10 standard pushups, 3X 10 situps w/10 lb ball, 3X 20 crunch twists w/10 lb ball, 3X 10 renegade rows w/17.5 lbs, 20 squats, 2X 60 sec forearm plank w/elevated leg and 15 kickouts, 2X 12 back extensions w/10 lb plate, 2X 10 incline side crunch twists, 2X 10 hanging leg lifts, progressive single leg press 12@ 180 lbs> 10 @ 200 lbs> 8 @ 220 lbs. 30 min swim.

    Food: On target with calories and macros, right around 1650.

    Happy Monday!

    I had another productive day today. Met with my trainer and for the first time I did forward frog jumps. It's so funny because when he gives me something I've never done before my first reaction is "I don't think I can do that" and he always says "Just try one"...............and there I go. They were actually easy and by the end I was lengthening my stride and really had no problem whatsoever. It reminded me of the day he challenged me with Turkish Getups. This is why it's so beneficial having a trainer..............for the challenge and the confidence.

    Exercise: Foam roller/stretches. 10 min calisthenics warm-up including pushups, squats, leg swings, renegade rows, forearm planks w/elevated leg and kickouts, reverse plank. 55 minute strength training w/Brent including 3X 10 TRX high row, 3X 20 reverse lunge high pull w/20/20 Kettlebells, 3X 20 walking lunge pause press w/12/12 over head dumbbells, 3X 20 forward frog jumps, 3X 10 inner thigh w/90.

    Food: Nice day with lots of protein and just under 1700 calories...........macros all good!

    Hope you're all having a great week!

    I squated 225 last week! My husband has been helping me work up to this and all I want to do is get to 250 and then 300. I love feeling strong. I got a new job 3 months ago and sit aaaaaall day long in front of a computer now. I have been feeling really out of shape with muscled tightening up lately so this was a major win. These are the tools I use in the gym for my lifting days. https://joysfitnessreviews.wordpress.com/ Favorite days! -Joy

    Happy Saturday!!


    Cardio: Ran the Brazos Bend 25km trail race today. We were hit by a thunderstorm (or two) a few miles in, so dealt with rain, hail, lightning, and lots of mud/water on the trails. What an adventure. Finished 3 hours, 15 minutes, I think. My GPS ran out of juice a mile before finish and my Nike app paused itself, so, will see official results tomorrow to get the "real" numbers. Either way, proud of my first longer than half-marathon distance race!


    Food: Didn't track...went to annual crawfish boil friends put on. Was in a deficit for sure.

    Okay, that was a long and busy weekend. I didn't log but got lots of exercise at the beach and then yesterday helping our daughter move.

    Today I'm taking a rest day and probably eating around 1600. I drank a little wine one night and had a piece of cheesecake one night but otherwise I stuck to my usual foods. Not too bad at all.

    Have a nice week everyone.
