    Happy Birthday Niner!!! You're killing 53!

    Not much happening here today unless the rain clears out and I can get a walk/run in later. My trainer gave me a killer workout for tomorrow and I'm a little sore from yesterday too so it'll be a rest day unless I walk. Why is it I only really get sore when I work with a trainer.....LOL? Guess I just don't push myself hard enough even though I think I am.

    Anyway, have a great Thursday and I'll report back in tomorrow!

    Have a great week everyone!

    Wow, here's my leg day from my trainer. I was supposed to do lunges too but my knee wasn't feeling it so we're going to go over them again on Wed and see if he can help me do them better, maybe I'm just being paranoid too. ;)

    Good Morning my friends!

    @luluinca Impressive routine! hope you don't mind but I copied the routine to try

    Strength: Back, Biceps and Abs to be done tonight

    Cardio: Not today, but am doing Yoga Challenge nightly

    Assessment: Month 3 of Shortcut to Size, weight is getting way too heavy, specially to lift it for 12-15 reps that it requires for the first week of each phase! and I don't want to back off on weight, because I'm kinda too stubborn to back down easy, so it is very very challenging!
    Second day of my bulk, yesterday was not all that successful, I eat naughty but was still low 20-40 points in each macro, and felt so full! need to be smarter about the bulking game!

    @MJFSH, I share in case anyone wants ideas so please copy. Most of my workouts now will be ones designed by my trainer. He's having me do a 4 day split which is what I enjoy. He took my workouts and added a few things and moved things around a little so it's more effective. I think it's going to work out great.

    Today is a walk/run day for me but it's only 36 degrees out there and super foggy so I'm going out a little later than normal. I'll get it in though!

    Assessment: I usually don't work out on weekends, but yesterday, I saw all friends posting their workouts on MFP, had to get up and do something! picked a routine posted by one of my buddies and boy it kicked my rear end, royally! was awesome!
    Bulking is going good, weight is increasing ever so slowly, but that's how my nutrition coach wanted to be anyways, so must be on the right track.

    Today was just a dog walk/run. Improved a little by doing 3 intervals of .55 miles running so a total of 1.65 miles. Not too bad. Knee feels good although my hips are a little stiff after today's outing.

    Meet with trainer in the morning tomorrow!

    Hope you're all having a great week!
