    @piperdown44 welcome, sounds like you had a great workout!

    Rest day for me, finally managed to get the Christmas tree up, regular housework done etc. Managed to get in 19.5k steps.

    Assessment: calories on track but under on my protein macros. Fat *kitten* chicken burrito for dinner. Hoping to hit the gym tomorrow.

    Assessment - lot o pizza but within goals

    @ltworide - thanks for the positive on healing, missed responding earlier
    @ninerbuff - I still think my decoration effort should count as cardio!

    Lol, hey I climbed up and down a 10ft ladder to put up my lights at least 40 times.

    Ha! Thanks. By easy, I mean a "slowish" pace...a training run. It's hard not to push myself all the time, but I've learned the importance of saving hard for speed days, and keeping easy days slow (though it never feels that easy).


    Happy Weekend, folks!


    Saturday: Cardio: 3 mile run. Cut things short because of ankle discomfort. Officially retired that pair of shoes, which should've happened a few runs ago.

    Sunday: Cardio: 6 mile run with a friend. Her "long run", easy paced. Helping her build up her endurance, as she wants to run a 10K race and do her first half later next year. We're going to start running together on Sundays.

    Food: Xmas party, but within maintenance numbers.

    @Wildflower0071 wow sounds like you crushed that workout way to go!

    Barbell front squat @ 125 lbs 6 x 3

    Just checking in to say Hi and Happy Holidays! Spent the last two days under the weather with a bit of an intestinal bug but I'm feeling much better this afternoon and our plans to catch a ride on Southwest tomorrow afternoon for Colorado have not been derailed. Normally I would have gone to the gym this morning.............but I'm just not going to worry about it......LOL

    I'll be getting some walking/hiking and maybe a little gym workout in while I'm there so will check in with those numbers next week but I'm just not going to bother logging for the week. I need the break and I've managed to maintain since Thanksgiving so I think I'll be fine no matter how many tempting treats are around. ;)

    Hope you all have a wonderful week and enjoy time with family and friends!!!

    Keep rockin' those workouts!!!

    @luluinca Glad you are still up for the trip, I know how much you have been looking forward to it!
    @ltworide Great day, and I missed the opportunity to welcome you to the mix. I'm fairly new to this little group myself, so wasn't sure if you were "new" or returning.
    @ninerbuff I never even realized that your offer of free professional level advice was part of the deal. It's just a great group, even if you don't count your ladder climbs towards earning a donut! Very cool of you to have that offer attached though, many with experience in your fields wouldn't ever do that.
    @brandiuntz I'm not a runner, so your training runs are at a pace I'm not doing! LOL
    @Wildflower0071 That fat in the prime roast surely isn't hurting you. Mirrors don't lie!


    I liked my HIIT today!

    Strength: Some quick circuit style upper body, muscle retention level. Dips, conventional push ups, push ups elevated feet 1 foot, push ups feet elevated 2 feet, approx 4x25 of each.

    Cardo: Did a true to the best of my calculations Tabata HIIT routine on the elliptical. Taxing in a way I wasn't expecting, hard but not where I had predicted. Cooled down and let my heart rate settle some, then did some more cardio at estimated 80-85% of VO2max.


    Hope everyone else had a great weekend. We are shifting into holiday mode, short busy week and then some break time. I'll be conscious of my workout and health goals when I eat my holiday ham and pies!

    I performed the above 10 times and followed this with 25 minutes on the cross trainer.

    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Monday! 4 clients this morning then 4 tonight. DD is off because of Christmas vacation and finally all my shopping is done. Best news is that I'm in the FINALS for all my Fantasy Football teams (3) with one of them being a money league. Right now I'm guaranteed $250, but 1st place is $800!!!! So I need to make sure I put out the best team on the field possible.

    Cardio: treadmill- 2.5 miles (300 calories)

    Strength: quads- leg press, squat, leg extension 12,10,8,6 x 4

    Assessment: Kareoke night at a club so pizza.

    Hey All,

    Feeling good today, even with a slight cold.

    Cardio: None
    Strength:

    531 Cycle 6, week 2

    OHP
    BBx7
    65x5
    80x5
    95x3
    110x3
    125x3
    140x5 (3+) <-happy with this
    140x3
    140x3
    95x10

    BBB Bench <-switched to 5x5 at 80%
    135x5
    185x5
    225x5x5

    Pullups
    BWx7x5

    Assessment: Switched it up this week for bbb to 5x5 at 80% training max instead of 5x10 at 55%. Figured it might help a bit since I'm up to maintenance calories the next couple weeks.
    Session felt good although I was a bit disappointed I only got 5 at 140 instead of the 6 reps I got a few weeks ago.
    Feels great eating at maintenance!

    @ninerbuff best wishes on winning the FF pot!
    @piperdown44 awesome job on the OHP, impressive! I dream of hitting 75 lbs!

    Going to my Krav Maga class tonight. May hit the gym immediately afterwards if I'm still wired maybe do some bodyweight/light resistance circuit style workout. No strength work today, will save that for tomorrow.

    Assessment: calories on track. Not sure what I'm having for dinner yet.

    Thanks!
    Long slow road to get to this point. Most of the gains I've seen have been neuromuscular adaptations since I was on a calorie deficit from summer to this point.

    Let's see.....

    Cardio: none

    Strength:

    DL
    135x5
    145x5
    175x3
    205x3
    230x3
    260x6 (3+)
    260x3
    260x3
    225x5

    Squats
    205x5x5

    Assessment:
    Longer session than normal just because I needed a bit more rest times between sets of the squats.
    So far, while it's quite a bit more difficult, I'm liking the 5x5 at 80%.
    Need to reassess maintenance calories. Initial water weight gain, then it stabilized, now it's dropping a bit. I'll give it 2 more days and see where I'm at. If I drop weight then I'll need to up it a bit more.

    My late entry for Tuesday. Great job everyone!

    I couldn't take the week off like I convinced myself I might!

    Strength: Minimal upper body stuff. Need to get things set up better for serious work!

    Cardio: 35 minutes on the elliptical, with some high output intervals at the end

    Assessment: Still playing with finding my maintenance calories, doing good on upping protein intake



    Cool down lyrical thought of the day:

    And to D.B. Cooper and the money he took
    You can look for answers but that ain't fun

    Now get in the pit and try to love someone!
