Wednesay
I still have't Christmas shopped, will I be able to log that as cardio?
Cardio: None other than 100 trips back and forth to the garage, as well as up and down the stairs. My wife is in full bore Christmas mode, so I have to feed the decorations quick!
Strength: Short on time, so knocked out a bunch of various push ups, dips, and other body weight stuff for about a half hour. Zero rest time, transitioned from one to the next and varied muscle groups to avoid quick burn out.
Assessment: Still varying from slight loss to maintenance on my intake, but enjoying the freedom to do so. Intend to nail down more specific goals after the holidays and restrict the diet more.
@Wildflower0071 - I was speaking of my military time. I took it for granted until after the fact, but though it was often forced, we got a lot of exercise in on the clock. Great gyms all over the places I traveled, and lacking that we made gyms. I've lifted with sandbags in the desert, and tossed ice blocks in the arctic. And no matter where we were, we always had plenty of gear. Cross country skiing with a 60-70 lb load will find some new muscle groups.
