    I like myself unconditionally!

    I taught my regular Aqua fit class this week, which has grown from 2 to 6 students over the past 4 months. My Aqua Zumba class has grown from three people to 12!

    Cardio: Biked to most of my activities so far - it's raining today and maybe tomorrow.

    Strength: Added two additional 60 minute free weight sessions by myself in my building gym every week.

    Assessment: I still snack on potato chips, but I did a life length assessment and the results were that I will live until I am 102. B) I believe in moderation in all things, including moderation.

    Another great day at the gym. Set a new PR for dead lift of 175 lbs. Before my hip injury I was at 165 and have only been doing 155 since it's healed. As usual my trainer pushed me and there you go..........BAM!

    Congrats! I'm still at 160lbs for mine. Now I'm motivated!

    Thanks Brandi............it seems the only time I set a new PR is with my trainer. I'm less confident on my own.....LOL

    Deads are my best lift though for some reason. And that coconut milk ice cream sounds wonderful!!!

    Happy Hump Day!!!

    I'm taking the day off from the gym but swimming again this afternoon in our pool. Last night I swam laps for about 20 minutes and then tread water for another 10. This morning I'm down a pound and sore from yesterday's gym workout.

    So far I've lost 2 pounds since I halfheartedly went on maintenance. Since I really wanted to lose another 5 or even 10 lbs I'm just going to keep doing whatever it is I'm doing......LOL

    Have a great day everyone!!

    I workout on my own, so I'm probably holding myself back. I've also tweaked my back in the past, so trying to be careful. At least it's officially my weight that I can lift. So, working on that 1.5xbodyweight goal! I do love the Deads and they are my best as well.

    Coconut milk ice cream: I'm lactose-intolerant so finding tasty substitutes that have the creaminess that real ice cream has is tough. Luna & Larry's Salted Caramel Chocolate is an amazing exception.

    Happy Thursday............

    Yesterday I just swam in our pool, did laps for 25 minutes and then tread water for another 5.

    Today was an accessory day except I did do some light weight squats. Should be able to add weight to them next week or maybe by Sunday.

    Exercise: 25 min calisthenics warmup including 2X 12 pushups, 2X 12 situps w/12 lb ball, 2X 20 crunch twists w/12 lb ball, 60 sec extended plank, 2X 60 sec elevated leg plank w/kickouts, 60 sec reverse plank, 15 physio ball bridges and pikes, 5 min stairmaster/level 5, 2X 12 back extensions w/10 lb plate, 2X 12 hanging leg raises. 60 min strength training including 3X 10 (each side) single leg RDL w/85 lbs, 3X 10 up right row w/45 lbs, 3X 10 squats w/65 lbs, 3X 10 TRX high rows, leg press >15 w/310 lbs, 12 w/400 lbs, 10 w/470 lbs>, 3X 10 seated dips w/110 lbs plus bar, 3X 12 inner thighs w/90.

    Food: Eating around 1650 both yesterday and today. Now that I've decided to go for a little more weight loss I'm hoping the extra swimming and about 100 cals less per day will result in the losses I'm looking for. The problem is that for some reason swimming makes me hungrier than anything else I do...... :#

    Looks like everyone's having a great week..............good job guys!!!!
