    I enjoyed my Thanksgiving eating unconditionally!

    Cardio: 16+ miles at a fairly solid MTB pace, over 1000 calculated calories

    Strength: Copped out on my planned upper body, body weight stuff after the ride. I was at 16+ hours fasted and opted for the shower and food

    Assessment: Ate at approx 500 calories over maintenance on turkey day but can easily be in the clear for the week on loss goals. Haven't been on the bike much lately but cardio work on the elliptical while making notes of heart rate has put me much more in touch with power use when on the bike and controlling heart rate.



    Great thread @ninerbuff I can't believe I've never noticed it before the last couple of days.
    Welcome!!!! Enjoy posting here!

    Went to the gym hoping to get a swim in and actually succeeded for a change......sometimes the pool is just too crowded.

    Strength: 30 min calisthenics warm up including pushups, planks, situps, elevated leg lifts and body weight squats and lunges.

    Cardio: 40 min swim......mostly back stroke.

    Food: For some reason I just couldn't face my protein shake this morning so had a fiber one bar and a piece of string cheese..........won't make that mistake again. I need more calories before a work out. I don't know how people workout on an empty stomach.

    I actually lost another pound over the weekend........totally weird, but I was pretty busy........

    Happy Sunday, all! That week of rest turned into a 2nd week of simply being lazy. :o

    Since I mostly swam yesterday I was able to get to the gym 3 days in a row..... ;)

    Today's strength and a little cardio: 45 min circuit training including 3 sets each of 12 pushups, 15 goblet squats w/25 lbs, 60 sec each side planks, 15 good mornings w/20/20 lbs, 15 decline situps w/10 lbs, 10 decline leg lifts, 10 physio ball pikes, 10 lat raises w/12 lbs and 3 min stair master. 65 min weight lifting including leg press <15 w/310 lbs, 12 w/400 lbs, 10 w/450 lbs and 8 w/470 lbs>, squats <2X5 w/65 lbs, 2X 5w/95 lbs, 2X5 w/115 lbs>, bent over row <2X5 w/65 lbs and 3X5 w/75 lbs>, 3X10 shrugs w/95 lbs, bench press <2X5 w/65 lbs, 2X5 w/85 lbs and 1X5 w/90 lbs>, 2X20 step ups, 2X12 alt hand KB swing w/30 lbs 2X16 side lunges w/22.5/22.5 lbs, 3X10 inner thigh w/100 lbs.

    Assessment: I don't know.....I lost another pound over the weekend. Since I'm really at maintenance, I guess I better begin eating a little more. I don't want to exercise less right now because I'm still building strength. Maybe a recomp? I was hoping to just maintain through the end of the year and then reassess on the first, but I may have to bump my calories up a little bit now in order to maintain.

    Have a great week everyone!!

    Sounds like me you're still figuring out what your true maintenance calories are. Bump up a little and see how it goes. It can take some tweaking to figure out one's actual maintenance.

    Having a great week so far...............

    Cardio (yesterday): Got the dog out for a 40 min run/walk. First time I've run since I pulled that muscle....felt pretty good.

    Strength (today); 35 min circuit training including 2 sets each of 12 pushups, 15 decline situps w/10 lbs, 10 decline leg lifts, 15 good mornings w/20/20 lbs, 10 renegade rows w/20 lbs, 1min each side planks, 15 goblet sqauts w/20 lbs, 10 physio ball pikes, 15 crunch machine w/100, 10 lat arm raises w/12/12 lbs and 3 min stair master. 65 min weight lifting including 2X5 squats w/65 lbs and 2X5 w/115 lbs and 1X5 w/120 lbs, 3X5 OHP w/45 lbs and 1X5 w/55 lbs, 2X 5 DL's w/95 lbs and 2X5 DL's w/115 lbs and 1X5 w/125 lbs, 3X10 cable chest press w/23/23, 3X10 cable deltoid fly w/10/10, 3X10 each side cable wood chop w/33, 3X10 kneeling cable lat pull down w/37/37 and 3X10 inner thigh w/100.
