    Hi guys, had a long week with hubby's surgery on Thursday although I did run a little yesterday before picking him up from the hospital. I had every intention of going to the gym this morning but was so exhausted from traveling, working and hanging around the hospital for two days that I slept in instead. I know when I'm beat!

    Hopefully I'll get a nice run in tomorrow and then back to a new kind of normal on Monday with strength training!

    Have a great weekend!

    Going to the 49er/Dallas game today at Levi's!!! I've never been in the stadium yet, so even if the 9ers lose, it'll be fun just being there.

    @ninerbuff have fun at the game!

    Cardio: Got in a 3.6 mile run with the dog this morning on the horse trail here. It felt good so I think I'll be able to get right back on track this week with my training for the 10K in November.

    Strength: Tomorrow at the gym

    Assessment: I've lost 4 lbs in the last 10 days or so so that's not ideal for me. I've just been stressed and busy but hopefully things will settle down for a little while now and I'll get back to normal. I have about a 10 lb cushion with my weight (per my doctor) so the 4 lbs is not a big deal, I just don't want to continue losing.

    @luluinca welcome back! you have been through a lot a little rest and back to routine is all you need to be your perfect self!

    Strength:Tapout XT: Ripped Conditioning done! I really enjoyed working upper body to failure using bands only!

    Cardio: sometimes this week

    Assessment: I'm still free sailing with carbs. My pear tree and fig tree are both out of fruits so I'll be back to macros soon

    Just checking in to say hi and that I took yesterday and today off just to play catch up around here and get caught up on a little sleep. I'll be running tomorrow then "gymming" it the next day though. Feeling better this morning and one more day should get me back where I need to be again. I really hate missing my runs and lifting but sometimes I just need to be more reasonable about my expectations for myself! Hubby's surgery and recovery has been more difficult than we anticipated but he's much better today I think.

    Anyway, keep going strong and @MJFSH I love both figs and pears so I'm a little jealous of those carbs!

    I'm really looking forward to getting back to what I like to loosely call "normal".

    Good Morning my favourite people!

    @luluinca take care of you and your hubby! it's really tough to be a caregiver! hope hubby feels better soon and you can get back to your norms. in the meantime, smart idea to rest and catch up on all you need to catch up with!
    I would have shipped you some fig and pears if you were closer! I love those fruits too and couldn't stay away from it!

    Strength: Did STS: Chest, Shoulders and Triceps last night, oh boy! Cathe is obsessed with push ups! I was afraid I'm going to land flat on my face, because of all those, I survived! haha

    Cardio: Tapout XT: Competition Core done this morning, couldn't keep up with the crew, did my best and was still melting away, so I assume I did ok. :)

    Assessment: All the crazy eating has finally caught up to me. dealing with tummy issues, good reason to get back on track with proper eating.

    Sooooo, I wasn't planning on much exercise today, just more getting organized and caught up here, but we had a good day and made a lot of progress so I decided I had time for a quick run this afternoon.

    Cardio: 2.1 mile run and a .25 mile cool down walk. Still training for a 10K in November so I'm running again in the morning

    Strength: I've really been missing weight lifting and am only getting in a couple of days a week right now but I'm hoping to get back to at least 3 soon. This week Thurs and Sat!

    Assessment: Hanging in there but still eating a bit low which I think is probably okay since I'm not getting in quite as much exercise..........haven't lost any weight this week so that's a good sign I think.

    Hope you're both having a good week!

    @luluinca Even a break of 2 weeks shouldn't be too bad if you're in control of your calories. Take care of what you need to first and foremost.

    Have a good day you two!!!

    Sooooo, I managed to get a run in yesterday morning and a gym workout this morning. Things are still somewhat hectic here but I'm trying to make time for myself anyway. I've come to realize just how important my workouts are to me!

    Cardio: Yesterday: Ran 3.31 miles and walked another .25 as a cool down

    Strength: Today: 30 min calisthenics and shoulder rehab
    65 minutes strength training including
    5X5 OHP w/45 lbs
    3X5 dead lifts w/135 lbs
    5X5 floor press w/65 lbs
    5X5 bent over row w/65 lbs

    3X10 calf raises w/70
    3X10 cable flyes w/10/10
    3X10 cable wood chops w/30

    Assessment: I've actually been trying to increase my calories slightly as I don't really want to lose any more weight right now. So weird to be trying to increase instead of decrease................LOL

    Hope you both have a great Friday and coming weekend! I'm planning on another run in the AM.

    I guess I'm back in the groove...........so to speak.

    Cardio: 3.6 mile run and .25 mile walk with my dog this morning on the horse trail. Trying to get back to training for that 10K since I only have about 5 weeks left to get to 6.2 miles.........yikes!

    Strength: Tomorrow

    Assessment: Hubby wants Marie Callendar's Chicken Pot Pies for dinner so that's what we're having. Too much fat but I guess he feels like splurging. Between, running, grocery shopping and cleaning I've burned tons of calories so I won't worry about it too much I guess.

    Have a great weekend you guys!

    So I missed my gym workout yesterday, I was just too worn out from the day before, over 15,000 steps of running, shopping and cleaning. Our grandkids came in from CO yesterday for a week.........yippeee!

    Got my run in this morning though!

    Cardio: 4.52 miles running at the park while my grandson played around on the playground! Inching my way up to that 10K I need to be ready for in November. My daughter and new Son In Law are flying in to run with me so I need to be ready! YIKES!

    Strength: Trying again tomorrow!

    Assessment: Been eating too many carbs and too much fat but calories have been fine.........that's what happens when we have company around.

    Hope you're having a great weekend!
