Welcome! Nice run.
Quick update: Didn't work out yesterday, nor will I tonight (mix of PMS and social plans). Will be back to it tomorrow.
Food: keeping things on target.
Good news: Has taken me 9 years, but I finally have my cholesterol back in the normal range!!

Hey gang
I like myself unconditionally!
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 -
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.
I'm beginning to add back in some of the things I was doing before I injured my hip. Specifically today, the leg press. I only attempted 400 lbs and it felt fine so I imagine in a week or 2 I'll be back up where I was 6 weeks ago.
Food: We're eating out so I'm going to estimate today, hopefully keeping it under 1800.
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.
Cardio: 6 mile run; 1.5 mile at tempo, rest at easy.
Food: on target.0 -
Hey gang,
I like myself unconditionally!
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 -
Hey gang,
I like myself unconditionally!
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.0 -
Today I did 15 min of HIIT. Consisting of high knees and jogging for my rest period.
For strength I worked on my lower body doing 3 variations of squats. 15 reps each and 3 sets each.
Eating I am doing fine, thought I am WAY under what I should be. Thankfully I have yet to eat dinner and some sort of snack.
My water intake was excellent today.0 -
Hi everyone!
Saturday the dog and I walked/jogged about 4 miles in an hour............to the park, around the park and back home.
Had dinner at our daughters but ate just like I would have at home so it was an easy night out calorie wise.
Back to the gym today for dead lifts and hopefully a swim if I can get a lane!
Have a nice Sunday!

I love Sundays at the gym.......it's so quiet in the morning and it was easy to get a lane to swim in.
