    Morning all. No gym today as I had to take my wife to the airport.

    Assessment- Went out for burgers and a couple beers last night. Ended up about 500 over my daily target but nothing serious.

    Welcome @ren3liz ! Yes it's an open group.

    Led a group circuit class today. Going to Krav Maga tonight. No strength work.

    Ok, here goes:

    Cardio- ran 2 miles. My first ever full two miles actually! At mostly 5mph with about 1/2 mile total of "sprints" (7mph, .10 at a time) and hill climbs. Feeling proud of that. Cals read at 320ish.

    Strength- not a lot. Upper body, 2 sets 10 flys at 10lb. 2 sets 10 rows at 10lb. I was a little crunched for time.

    Assessment- feeling great despite cutting my workout short, really proud of that run. 660 cals left for the day, meeting friends out for drinks. I'll keep it to 2 glasses of wine or vodka/soda with a light dinner and likely hit my cal goal close to the nose (with workout calories eaten).

    @ren3liz, welcome to the group!!!!

    Struggled today after a virtually sleepless night............ugggghhhh. I hate it when I can't sleep. Couldn't summon the energy for the gym which means I'll have to go this weekend one day to make up for it but that's fine. Hopefully, I'll sleep tonight and feel great tomorrow!!! I'll either head out with the dog to the park or go to the gym. My shoulder is still really painful but I'm trying to just stay positive and keep moving.....some days are better than others.........LOL

    Zero strength training today but I did climb 10 flights of stairs to my balcony to get a little cardio in.......LOL

    Assessment: Homemade carnitas tacos so I might be a little over today.....LOL

    Well I've been slacking... on keeping up on the thread!

    Monday - planned rest day but walked 3 and a half miles with the wife in some cold windy stuff

    Tuesday - Killed it on shoulder and arm strength stuff. Then did the elliptical for 45 minutes doing some tough intervals. 4.71 miles and 655 calories by machine estimates.

    Assessement - I've been doing well on food and weight. Have made the decision to stay fitness focused for now, and not worry about weight as much. As it warms up I might decide to cut a few more pounds, as I don't want any bulk slowing me down on the bike or doing body weight type stuff.




    @ninerbuff Belated happy birthday. Now I know I have an "excuse" if I don't train as hard as you. That extra 54 weeks of age is a killer!

    @ren3liz Welcome to the mix

    Glad to see everyone else is staying on it too.

    Cardio: lacking big time and not missing it either

    Nutrition: been ok, nothing spectacular to report. I don't have weight to lose or gain, muscle gain is my focus, but that can wait.

    Happy Thursday, all!

    Welcome, @ren3liz

    I've come down with a cold, so no workouts so far this week. Hoping to do something tomorrow, or Saturday at the latest. Fortunately, it's a "light" cold.


    Food: been on target, except for a little pre-determined splurge on Monday.

    Still not sleeping well but I made it to the gym this morning anyway. Hopefully I'll be so tired tonight that it'll finally catch up with me.

    Cardio: I've been increasing my cardio minutes gradually with the stairmaster and running. I can't swim because of my shoulder so I'm just trying to get something going cardio wise. 8 minutes stairmaster and 13 minutes running this morning in between circuits and sets of strength training.

    Strength: 35 min circuit training including 2 sets each of 15 good morning w/50 lbs, 15 goblet squats w/25 lbs, 20 physio ball crunches w/25 lbs, 2 min side planks, 20 prone jumping jacks, 20 monkey pulls w/8/8 lbs, 15 decline situps w/10 lbs, 20 decline scissors, 12 back extensions w/20 lbs, 20 incline side crunch twists and 4 min stairmaster between sets. 65 min strength/running including 3X7 laps running around the basketball court, 1X5 Dead lift w/115 lbs, 1X5 DL w/135 lbs, 3X6 bent over row w/65 lbs, 2X10 cable squats w/40/40 lbs, 2X10 cable wood chop w/27 lbs, 2X16 front lunges w/20/20 lbs, 3X10 inner thigh w/100 lbs 2X10 single leg curl w/50 lbs and 2X10 glute master w/40 lbs.

    Assessment: Calories have been in line as have macros. If I could sleep and the shoulder would improve I'd be doing great.........LOL

    It's really nice to see everyone working so hard.........helps keep me motivated!!!

    Thx for the warm welcomes everyone. Happy Friday!

    Hit the gym briefly this morning.
    Cardio- 30 minutes total split between rowing, fast walking at high incline on the treadmill, and stationary bike. Just couldn't stick with one thing his morning and I was lacking energy. Will plan for another - better - workout this evening.

    Assessment- a lot of days eating at or just under maintenance lately. Wine of the month club came, oops. Diet has been overall healthy, but over my calorie goal to lose.

    Thanks, that's really a great wish!!! I have an appt Tuesday with an orthopedic surgeon, not sure how much I'll know at the first appointment but I'm pretty sure it's a rotator cuff tear.............hopefully not too bad and hopefully I'm wrong!

    This is my 4th injury in 2.5 years but I'm not giving up................there's always a work around an injury and the other 3 went away with time and effort so I'll fix this one too!

    The thing I'm most worried about is whether I'll be able to swim this summer............but I'm determined!!!
