Hey gang,
I like myself unconditionally!
Happy weekend! A couple of free intro sessions at the Tennis club, then I'm off the rest of the day. Laundry and cleaning to do.
Cardio: jog/walk- 2 miles (300 calories)
Strength: NONE
Assessment: Saw "Jurrasic World" and it was okay.0 -
Not bad Karen. I know that kicking legs can help a little bit, but eventually you'll want to learn how to do it from a dead hang. But you did a great job since even many males can't even do a pullup that way. Just seeing you do it should inspire many other females.Karen_libert wrote: »Here's a video of me doing my bosu assisted chin ups. I also have a squat video that I'd like a critique of.

Thank you! I don't flap my legs like that when I do them earlier in my workout or when I use the other rack. Its only about 3 inches lower but it makes a big difference. The leg flapping is totally subconscious! I do hope I'm inspiring other people. There's a lady at my gym that does dips and I always tell her she inspires me. I want her arms!0 -
@Karen, thanks for the video..............it inspired me to try it!
I'm taking three days off from the gym to focus on family. Our daughter is here from CO and we're just enjoying being together and having parties. It's our other daughter's birthday weekend and housewarming. Tomorrow I'll get back to it.
I'm usually pretty good calorie wise even on party days and so far I think I'm okay!
Enjoy your Sunday!!!0 -

Happy Monday! Bootcamp was cancelled this morning, so just 4 clients this evening only.
Cardio: run/jog 2 miles (300 calories)
Strength: quads- leg press, squat, leg extension 12,10,8,6 x 4
Assessment: I overate at my MIL's house. Good thing she doesn't live with us and cooks or I'd probably blow up in weight.0 -
Just a walk with the dog this morning...............I'm tired from the party weekend. Tomorrow I'm giving my training session to my daughter but I'll be there working again. I enjoyed my 4 days off but I'm ready to get back to it.
Food is back to normal today and it looks like I didn't even gain any water weight from eating a little bit off my usual fare. I feel like I'm getting pretty good at maintenance. I think I'll be ready to work on losing another 5 or so soon.
Have a great week everyone!0 -
Happy Tuesday!
Was a busy weekend of getting things done for this Saturday's art market. I had a lot to prepare, so good I took the break from exercise.
Cardio: 4 mile run, 1 mile at tempo, rest at easy pace. Back to running after giving my knee the week off. Man, the humidity was killing me again, even at 7am.
Food: been on target. Have dropped a couple pounds. Curious how much is water weight from diet adjustments (doctor's orders) and new dosage of thyroid meds. Will be monitoring.0 -

Had another nice day at the gym and things are back to normal here. I'd prefer having my daughter around but normal is okay too I guess.
Exercise: 20 min calisthenics warmup including pushups, planks, situps, crunch twists, physio ball bridges, pikes and crunches w/25 lb plate. 50 min strength training including 3X 10 body weight bar row from floor, 3X 10 RDL/high row w/55 lb bar, 3 X 30 OHP walk w/45 lb bar, 3X 10 rev lunge w/45 lb bar, 3X 16 fwd lunge/press w/17.5 lbs, leg press >15@ 220 lbs, 12 @ 310 lbs, 10 @ 400 lbs, and 8 @ 450 lbs, 3X 12 inner thigh @ 90, 3X 8 lat pulldown w/60 lbs.
I maintained fine the four days we had company and a couple of parties. Weighed exactly the same this morning as I did last Thursday. It feels good to know I can still have a good time and enjoy foods that I don't normally eat and not gain weight. I might go back to a deficit next week and see if I can drop another 5 lbs by September which will be my 2 year MFP Anniversary.
Hope you're all enjoying Hump Day!!!!0 -
Happy Wednesday!
Woke up late, so no full exercise, but squeezed in 30 squats throughout the day.
Food: on target. Down another half pound. At my lowest in, well, forever, and only 3lbs away from goal. I'd be more excited if I thought diet was total cause. We'll see how things continue.0 -

Sorry, not sure what plyos are (I'll Google it after I've typed this) . It's a class called box it out, a mixture of circuits and boxing/punching. We partner up and, for example, the person in the gloves will do 10 push ups then 20 punches and the person with the pads will do jump squats while they wait to tap the punches. It's a 60 minute class. I usually burn around 450 calories according to my hrm but I log 3/4 to account for the water breaks etc. It's a great class and I really enjoy it.0 -

I believe he meant plyometrics and that sounds like what you're do with the boxing.0 -
Happy Thursday!
Cardio: 4 mile run. Didn't run as easy of a pace as I should've, but felt good overall. Breaking in my newest pair of running shoes.
Food: on target. Weight was up 2 pounds this morning. Maybe everything is balancing back out with all the diet/meds changes.0 -
Yesterday was a dog walk/jog day. We did 3 miles to the park and back. The last stretch to the park is a very steep hill so we get a pretty good workout in. My dog loves that I run with her now................
Today is a rest/party day. We have company coming over for a pool party and BBQ. I'll hopefully stay in control.....LOL
Hoping I'll feel like going to the gym in the morning.
Have a safe 4th of July!0 -
