    Happy weekend! No clients today because I'm recovering from my surgery. Hardly any pain walking or standing. A little when I bend my knee because of the incisions. Should be good as new in a few weeks. Have a Father's Day party tomorrow where I get to show the family my new crutches.

    Cardio: walking- 30 min (150 calories)

    Strength: core- crunches, leg lifts

    @ninerbuff, sounds like your knee is really healing quickly, so happy for you!

    I'm back from Albuquerque, it was a pretty rough trip but I managed a couple of short workouts in the hotel fitness center (a very small one) and a couple of swims. Lost a little over a pound but that was mostly from not having much of an appetite. Back to the gym in the morning and a normal routine I hope!

    Have a great weekend!

    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy weekend! 4 clients this morning. New month and new aspirations! Got a clean bill of health from my ortho and he wants me to continue rehabbing the way I have been because I'm doing so well. I lost 8lbs last month and will continue with weight loss this upcoming month.

    Strength: core- crunches, leg lifts

    Congrats on the weight loss @ninerbuff, that's a great loss for a month. I'm down to the last 3 or 4 lbs and then I'm going to switch things up and slowly work my way up to maintenance and hopefully improve the amount of weight I can lift.

    Have a great 4th of July! We're taking all 4 days off so I'm really looking forward to the break although I will be hitting the gym on at least two of those days.

    Cardio: Walked 1.5 miles then ran about 1.25 miles with the dog to test her shoulder. She did fine and as long as she doesn't start limping again later today or tomorrow we'll try again on Tuesday morning.

    Strength: Tomorrow

    Assessment: Saving up calories so I can have a steak on Tuesday and a bit of potato salad.....yummy!

    This year's progress. 17 lbs lost since Jan 28th. I maintained a 45 lb weight loss last year but didn't try to eat at a deficit because of two big injuries. I was able to re-focus this year and lost the rest of the weight.

    Top pic earlier this year and bottom pic this morning after a run.
