@ Niner............thanks for calling me a "conditioned person".......LOL, I never thought I would hear something like that.
Great work on the new clients!
Today is a rest day from the gym but a long dog walk day!
Calories should be right around 1650.0 -
You playing softball right now brandi?
I am, except the season has mostly been a wash out due to all the rain Texas has been getting since April. We've played 3 weekends since we started in March.
No games this weekend, but we should get some in the following Sunday. June is looking to finally be back to normal weather. Sun's been out all week! I'm still playing catcher. And we finally won a game, lol!
Congrats on the new clients, btw!

Yesterday the dog and I walked to the park and then wandered around there for about .5 miles. We've been trying to get there for awhile. It's a very steep hill climbing up to the park from my house and we've gradually been conquering that. Sooooo, 3.5 miles at a pretty fast clip of 55 minutes. Today it's back to the gym and possibly a swim after strength training. We'll see how crowded the pool is....

I can feel my metabolism kicking back into high gear again now that my hip is healed. I just get more intense workouts in and spend more time exercising. My average calories went up a bit last week and may go up a little again this week......we'll see. I've been trying to learn the signals my body gives me regarding fuel. I haven't lost in awhile but I've been maintaining very easily and my lifting has improved as far as the weight goes.0 -
Happy Sunday!

Happy Tuesday! 1 client this morning and then 2 in the evening. I'm starting to pick up a couple of clients here and there, but yesterday the Fitness Manager of Club Sport was in and I casually talked to him. I hadn't heard back from him on my application, but after talking to him and giving him more background, he may consider me for a position there. Lol, if that happens, I may have to give up the Tennis club since that one gives me the least opportunity to get clients (not many are into weight training/fitness training).

Checking in a little early....we're taking another mid-week break and heading down to the beach for the afternoon and spending the night down there. Have a nice Hump Day everyone!!!
Exercises: 50 minutes Circuit training including 3X 10 pushups, 3X 10 situps w/12 lb ball, 3X 20 crunch twists w/12 lb ball, 3 X 60 sec elevated leg plank/basic plank/reverse plank, 3X 20 physio ball crunch w/25 lb plate, 3X 15 physio ball speed bridges, 3X 12 renegade rows w/20 lbs, 3X 2 min stairmaster on level 6, 2X 12 lat pull up w/8/8, 2X 12 overhead tricep extensions w/15/15, 2X 12 back extensions w/15/15, 2X 12 hanging straight leg raises. 20 min strength training including leg press 20@ 220 lbs, 15 @ 310 lbs, 10 @ 400 lbs, 3X 6 assisted pull ups, 3X 8 assisted dips.

Food: We're eating out so I'm going to estimate today, hopefully keeping it under 1800.0 -

Food: keeping things on target.
Good news: Has taken me 9 years, but I finally have my cholesterol back in the normal range!!0 -
Lol, whenever I see a female who trains on their own and puts 2 10's on the leg press (our sled without weight weighs about 125lbs) then listen to them complain about how their legs are soft, I eyeroll pretty hard. Good job.Checking in a little early....we're taking another mid-week break and heading down to the beach for the afternoon and spending the night down there. Have a nice Hump Day everyone!!!

Happy Thursday! Just my workout this morning and then 2 clients tonight. Have to work on my payroll because it's much different than the one I used to do. Everything used to be on an auto cycle of 2 weeks on a computer, but now I have to turn in hand written logs along with receipts of training (was that way 4 years ago) to confirm my payroll. Ugh.
Cardio: jog/walk- 2 miles (300 calories)
Strength: back- pullups, bent over rows, seated cable rows, pullovers. 12,10,8,6 x 4 sets
Assessment: Dang sodium filled sausages.0 -

Yeah ours is close to the same, my trainer said it's 132 (I call it 130) and I stack 45's on each side and work my way up. I was a little nervous yesterday adding the leg press back in but I felt fine afterwards so will keep the increase going. My PR was 510 about 6 weeks ago.
Today's exercise: About a 90 minute walk on the beach but I wouldn't call it fast as we got there early enough to look for shells before they were all picked up already. Then we came home and went right back to work.
Food: Splurged a little yesterday on the best tortilla soup I've ever had last night but it had tons of cheese in it.....probably why it tasted so good. Back to normal today at around 1700. I can tell my sodium was pretty high yesterday so it may be a day or two before I weigh myself again.....LOL
Tomorrow is Friday!!!! Super YAY!!!

Happy Thursday!!
PMS is kicking me this week. Ready to bite everyone's head off, lol.

Happy TGIF and LCW! Friday from now on will likely be my day off from both clubs for any work at all. I can always change that, but I like the idea of having 1 full day off from anything.
Cardio: jog/walk- 2 miles (300 calories)
Strength: biceps and triceps- preacher curls, alternate curls, rope pressdowns, lying tricep extensions. 12,10,8,6 x 4
Assessment: Chicken adobo for dinner. That usually means water retention. Not to mention the Warriors playing for their life last night probably forced me into a hormonal frenzy.0 -
TGIF everyone and hoping you all have a great weekend.
I had a great workout this morning..........it's so great to be close to normal again regarding the hip. I'm not a very cheerful injured person so I'm just a little happier every day. My trainer happened to be there when I was doing leg press (upped it to 450) and he mentioned that if I can do that we're going back to squats next week..........that means I'm really BACK!!!
Exercise: 30 min circuit training including 2X 5 extended walkouts, 60 sec extended basic plank, 2X 60 sec elevated leg plank, 2X 3 min stairmaster, 2X 10 standard pushups, 2X 12 situps w/12 lb ball, 2X 20 crunch twists w/12 lb ball, 2X 10 renegade rows w/20lbs, 12 pistol squats w/20 lbs, 16 static fwd lunge press w/15 lbs, 2X 10 back extensions w/10 lbs, 2X 12 incline side crunch twists. 45 min strength training including leg press 20@ 220 lbs>15 @310 lbs>12@400 lbs> 8 @ 450lbs, bench press 2X 6 @ 65 lbs, 6 @ 75 lbs, 2X 3 @ 85 lbs, 2X 8 each arm single arm row w/37.5 lbs, 2X 10 overhead tricep extension w/15/15 lbs, 2X 10 cable row w/30/30, 2X 10 cable chest press w/20/20, 2X 10 cable rev deltoid fly w/7.5/7.5, 2 X 10 cable I fly w/10, 3 X 10 inner thigh w/90.
Food: Right around 1750.............I think I'm basically at maintenance, at least according to my doc and my trainer so I'm just going with that for now and will get in my two days a week of 2000 or so and the rest of the week eat around 1750.
I'm basically going for strength gains right now.............even though I'm still about 10 lbs overweight by the BMI scale...........whatever!!!!
Hope you have something fun on tap for the weekend!!!!0 -

Happy weekend! One client this morning then later take my DD swimming while I get in some extra cardio. Thankfully the Tennis Club has an indoor track because it's supposed to be 103 today.
Cardio: jog/walk- 2 miles (300 calories)
Strength: NONE
Assessment: I had Taco Bell yesterday.0 -
Happy Saturday!
Cardio: 11 mile run, easy paced. 2 hours, 18 minutes. One of the best things about running is the support you get from complete strangers. Trudging along on my long run today and a guy I'd passed numerous times on the loop asked how many I'd done. "7 miles done, 4 to go", I told him. He told me how impressed he was, and how he hoped to run a half-marathon one day (he's run 5k's and 10k's). We chatted again the next two times I passed him. Dude, you have no idea how much your comments helped me finish those last couple miles, when I was really tired and so wanted to walk.
Food: on target. Weight down a little for the week. Really good considering the PMS.
Now, off to watch my former football team play their last home game of the season.0 -
I like myself unconditionally!
I taught two Aqua Zumba classes this week and my second class had 12 students! Four people told me afterwards how much they enjoyed themselves
Cardio: Biked to all my classes, power strength today and a Zumba class
Strength: Did two sessions of weight training
Assessment: I ate a big bag of potato chips today and a whole bunch of cookies (after which I threw out the rest of the bag. It was a reaction to losing my purse today when it fell off my bike.
