Happy weekend! My DW's best friend's son's birthday today in Hayward. I'm pissed off too because last night after stepping out onto my driveway to get something out of the van (it was raining), I slipped on the garage floor and tweaked my left knee!!!! I iced it last night, but can tell that whatever healing I was getting done, just got set back AGAIN! Argh!!!!

Strength: NONE
Assessment: Lol, DD wanted Spam sandwiches last night!0 -
Hey everybody
I've missed almost a week of checking in!
But I've been distracted, not slacking on working out. 10+ miles walking, a couple of elliptical workouts, a couple body weight strength retention sessions, and at least one bike ride in the days I've missed. Nothing epic, no new PBs or brutal workouts... just distractions from checking in!
Assessment: I'm doing better on my eating habits and exercise than I am on updating here!
I'm glad most are doing better than me on checking in, without the thread bump I might have not noticed and forgot it again!0 -

Hi Hi Hi everyone. I'm finally back home and ready to get back to TLFC posts. I was gone a bit over 6 weeks, and did a pretty good job of staying on track with food and exercise most of the time. The last few days I've battled a total of 6 hours jet lag plus time change, fibromyalgia fatigue, and had a cold too. So the last few days I've been very careful with calories and sleeping a lot.
Bottom line, I've lost 9.2 pounds since January 26! I did a lot of walking, and went to the hotel fitness center a few times to use the recumbent bike. Today, I'm going back to the gym for the first time since getting home on Friday.
Cardio: lots of walking.
Strength: lifting heavy suitcases!
Assessment: had a wonderful time away, and glad to be back home.0 -

Hard style plank 3x5 breaths
Dumbbell Chest press on ball 4x6@80 lbs
2 Bosu plyo push-ups 4x6

LATE AGAIN GANG!
Sunday cardio: 16 or so on the bike, including some 20+ for about a mile and a half. Forget the calories estimate
Rested Monday and yesterday
Hump day 3/16: Upper body blast, 3 miles steady state on the elliptical, and then a Tabata at the end. Attempted to mimic the Tabata I did a could months back, and finished it with my HR down 20 or so beats per minute over that time. Partially training, partially food timing I think. But still thrilled with the result!
Glad everyone is still at it, and welcome back @64crayons I'll gladly attest that your feed showed some good active days for vacation!

I decided to give myself a gym break but got the dog out for a quick walk on Monday. We're working very hard here at work getting back orders out that we've been holding since Christmas so I'm doing that instead of gymming it. Taking off today for a quick overnight beach trip to treat ourselves and then back to the gym on Friday.
I lowered my calories a bit this week since I'm virtually not working out at all. Sometimes it just feels good to take a break.
Happy Hump Day!!!!0 -

Chair yoga = cardio? Well anyway, I did 40 minutes of chair yoga yesterday. Didn't get my steps in, for various nonsense reasons. No excuses. Wasn't hungry enough to get to 1000 calories. Today's a new day!
So far today, I've gone for a 1.5 mile walk and worked up an appetite. Going to make something yummy for breakfast, then go to the market to restock the fridge and freezer.0 -
@robert...............................I'll notify you 3 days in advance before I die when the funeral is so you'll be on time.
Give me at least a week. Despite my habits here, I'm never one to be late for a real life appointment. And I'll assume I'd have to travel to your funeral.0 -

Hello, this is my first post here. Need some accountability to keep going
I am a 36 yo F, currently working through 'Strong' and C25k simultaneously.
Strength
Today I did Phase 1, Stage 3, Workout A, #5
Valislide push aways - 2x12 - did with paper plates, not sure if it's the same but it's hard!
Single arm deadlifts - 3x8 @47.5 lbs
DB bench press - 2x8@20 in each arm, 1x6@25
Rear foot elevated split squat - 3x8@20 each leg, having trouble with balance when try to go higher on weight here
Lat pull downs - using exercise bands, don't have a good idea of the weight
Cardio
10 min HIIT on treadmill, 60s@6.2 mph/1.5 incline, then HR recovery walking@3.0 mph/1.5 incline, supposed to be to 119. HR comes back down nicely after first rep in about 2 minutes, have trouble getting it back down after the second rep, so usually throw in the third rep around 7 or 7.5 min even though HR is still in 130s. Not sure if that's what I'm supposed to do or not.
Overall, fitbit says I burned 207 calories
Assessment: Had corned beef and cabbage last night. Underestimated how many calories were in parsnips. Tonight is our take-out night, have to be careful!0 -

Welcome, @AigreDoux.0

Welcome to the group @AigreDoux!
Cardio: Got in a 55 min walk/run with the dog this morning in the fog! Will probably repeat that tomorrow and Monday but get to the gym on Sunday for some strength training and circuits.
Assessment: I've actually lost about 5 lbs in the last few weeks but I think it's just mostly water weight as I haven't been logging and naturally eat less carbs when I don't log. My diet has just been off lately. I wouldn't mind if it sticks but I doubt it will.....lol
Next week is my last week of therapy and I have an ortho appt Tues so we'll see what doc says. Still really fighting pain with certain movements but my therapist says it's much improved. I hope he's right!
Have a great weekend everyone!0 -
