    Yummmmy, I love crab legs!

    Cardio: 3.45 mile walk with my dog this morning ahead of a ton of rain we're supposed to get this week.

    Strength: Tomorrow

    Assessment: Making a pot of turkey noodle soup tonight and I've stuck to my 6 days a week of exercise for two weeks now. Trying to keep it going and I may add a fourth gym day if I can. I feel like I maintain my strength on 3 days but can add on 4 days. Not sure it's true but it sounds good. ;)

    Have a great Sunday!

    Happy Tuesday all!

    Cardio: 3.65 mile walk/jog with my dog this morning. I've been doing .25 mile intervals running with the dog, very slowly though. 1 to 1/5 miles running total per walk. Knee feels good but I'm afraid to increase it. It's been 3 weeks since the cortisone shot and I know it could wear off anytime..........uggghhh. Keeping my fingers crossed!

    Assessment: Doing well, keeping around 1500 calories and exercising 6 days a week. Haven't lost any weight yet though........hmmmmmm

    Niner, it's so nice to get a break in the rain...........I have an appointment this morning but I'm taking my dog out when I get home for a loooonnnnnggggg walk to enjoy some sunshine. Rain's coming back down here by the end of the week.

    I took the day off yesterday and enjoyed a movie and going out to dinner. Only ate about half of my 730 calorie shrimp/asparagus/pasta dish and had one glass of red wine so didn't go over on calories or any macros really. Easy Peasy!

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Cardio only: 3.65 miles of which 1.2 miles was running intervals of .3 miles X 4. My knee still feels fine but I'm being careful and even though I know I'm not really supposed to run, I'm going to try running a little here and there, two or 3 times a week. Hope I don't regret it but when my running music comes on I need to run at least a little.

    Good Morning Awesome people!

    Strength: Month 2, week 4: Chest, Triceps and Calves

    Cardio: I really need to fit in more cardio, seems it never happens tho,

    Assessment: I'm outgrowing my Select tech Dumbbells on some of the move, max weight for it is 52.5 lbs. I also need to buy more plates for my barbell, thinking it might be more beneficial to just join a gym instead!
    Today, is the last day of my raw vegan cleanse. this cleanse has been delicious and easy, because there is no shortage of fruits or nuts or veggies I can have, but because of my body's need for protein, going back to normal eating tomorrow. will miss all the yummy fruits!

    Hi guys.........hope you all have a great Tuesday!

    Cardio: 3.5 mile walk/run. 1.4 miles slow run of 4 X .35 mile intervals. Knee feels fine still. I'll probably leave it here until I see my doc next week and see what he says. I think he thinks I'm too old to messing with this and taking a chance on more damage to my knee but I disagree.

    Strength: Tomorrow

    Assessment: Doing well with food so far, of course it's only been 2 days since the blow out buffet....lol

    Happy Hump Day! Hope everyone's having a great week. We have a lot of rain coming in the next 5 or 6 days so don't know if I'll get any runs or walks in unless I do them at the gym...........hmmmm, I really hate treadmills so it's doubtful....LOL

    Cardio: About 20 minutes on the stationary bike

    Strength: 20 min warmup including planks, goblet squats, RDL's, donkey kicks, decline situps and shoulder rehab

    Worked for about 50 minutes with my new trainer and he wanted to see my form so I did back squats, goblet squats, sumo squats and dead lifts for him all with low weight. He tweaked things a bit and then gave me some new shoulder work and hip abductor exercises. Since I told him I'd still like to lose a bit more weight he wants to see my diary for a few days and see if he thinks it needs to be changed up a little. He seems knowledgeable re nutrition so I'll see what he comes up with. So far so good.

    Assessment: Seem to be settling into a nice small deficit for now, hopefully it will be enough to finish this weight loss thing over the next several months.

    Wishing you happiest of birthdays @ninerbuff !!!! You are making 53 look like a cool age to be at!

    missed my morning workout, now, I just have to sit patiently, for the time to go home and get it done, maybe I can add the cardio in too, just because there won't be any reason to rush!
