    Good Morning and Happy Monday!

    Cardio: I wish I had time for it!

    Strength: Shortcut to Size, week 3, Chest, Triceps, Calves,
    this program asks for 5-10 lbs to be added to each move, as the weeks go by, so far I have increased the weight but will see if I could still add on!
    I lifted 50 lbs. dumbbells for my calf raises and my powertech's max weight is 52.5, so we will see

    Assessment: feeling dehydrated, haven't eaten all that naughty over the weekend but have gained so much. well, but still my bf% shows low, so not all that concerned

    Have a great week everyone! I have that Turkey Trot 10K I was supposed to run coming up on Sat. I changed my registration to a 5K walk because of my knee. I was pretty bummed about it but then my daughter and son in law signed up to walk it with me and we're going to dress up like turkeys to make it fun! They're flying in from CO Thursday night so I'm pretty excited about that!

    Good Morning!

    Cardio: 3 mile walk with my dog, 3.5 mph pace so not too bad with a sore knee I guess

    Strength: Tomorrow

    Assessment: Finally decided to pull the trigger on another 10 lb loss, 5 between now and the first of the year and 5 more by the end of March. Hope I don't lose strength from being in a deficit but I'll try to up my protein again and hopefully that will make up for it. Just decided I can stand to be a bit thinner. Set my activity level to lightly active which gives me 1600 calories to lose .5 lbs per week. Probably won't eat calories back since I'm not running right now. It should work.

    Hey everyone! Super busy here ahead of company coming in tomorrow and then a big family/friend party here on Saturday. Managed a quick 30 min workout at home this morning but may not get anything else in until the 5K Walk on Saturday........it's okay because I'm burning lots of calories cleaning and shopping and also eating at a deficit again.....LOL. Reminds me of the good old days of trying to lose weight!

    Haven't checked in since Wednesday but my daughter came in on Thursday from CO and it's been a whirlwind trip. I did do another 30 min home workout on Thursday morning and then Saturday we "walked" the 5K Turkey Trot. I was unhappy about not being able to run it so we made costumes on Friday to make it more fun. This week I've decided not to do any extra walking because my knee is still pretty bad but I will be at the gym at least 4 days!

    Hope you guys had a great weekend.

    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Monday! 4 clients this morning then 5 tonight. DD is off the whole week, so I have to get up earlier to do my workouts so she doesn't have to hang an extra hour at the gym with me.

    Cardio: bike riding- 30 (200 calories)

    Strength: shoulders- front shoulder press, rear cable laterals, side cable laterals, shrugs. 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment: Okay weekend. Did some shopping for Thanksgiving and watched football.

    Thanks Niner. We had so much fun that she wants to plan our trips to CO and hers here to CA around 5K's. I'm hoping next year I'll be able to run one again!

    Cardio: Not much in the way of cardio until I see my Ortho in two weeks. I've been walking but only because I had that 5K to get through. My knee is not doing very well so I'm going to give it a break now and see what the doc says. Soooooo, all strength training all the time.....LOL, unless I force myself to get into the gym pool.

    Strength: Did a 35 min home workout of calisthenics and shoulder rehab lifting light weights but lots of reps.

    Assessment: Last weekend was a lost cause because of eating out, having company for too many meals and just not really logging or exercising except for the walk. Still at the same weight for now so that's good anyway.

    Have a great week everyone!

    Love the pictures, looks like so much fun!

    Strength: Chest, Triceps, Calves
    I have selecttech adjustable dumbbells weighing from 5_52.5 lbs. Today I officially used the whole 52.5 lbs for calf raises, and it didn't kill me.
    Cardio: Hopefully Wednesday

    Assessment: I'm a emotional mess, and the stress is balooning me up, even tho I'm not overeating. Hopefully better days will come and I stop this crazy move in opposite direction.

    Ended up with a flu bug yesterday and while feeling a bit better today I have a lot to do to get ready for tomorrow here so not much of a workout for a few days I guess. I may try to get a couple of home workouts in for about 30 to 40 minutes each but otherwise I'll be at the gym by Saturday again.

    Hope you all have a great weekend coming up and a nice Thanksgiving!

    Happy Thanksgiving you guys!

    Got a 30 min calisthenics and shoulder rehab workout done at home yesterday and today I just spent my day in the kitchen.

    Thinking about wearing my gym clothes out tomorrow while I hit a couple of stores for Black Friday and then going in for some weights! Still feeling a bit puny from the stomach thing this week so I probably won't be pigging out on dinner tonight.....LOL.

    I lost a pound this week but it may not stick since I was feeling a little puny and didn't eat much..........normally that kind of loss comes right back!

    Anyway, looking forward to a quiet family dinner, only 6 of us this year since we had our bit TG party last weekend here, and then the rest of the weekend to shop and decorate! I love this 4 day weekend!
