    Happy New Year's everyone!! Keep up the good work in 2016 and we'll all be that much closer to our fitness goals. From what I see, this is a super motivated and energetic group, so I have faith that we'll all be that much closer one year from today!!

    Cardio: Still feeling the effects of this cold but did get a 30 min walk in with the dog, not fast, but not slow. Will probably duplicate that tomorrow and then hopefully back to the gym on Saturday.

    Assessment: I've been staying about 150-200 calories below my normal maintenance because I just haven't been burning as many calories as I normally do but that should change next week. All in all a successful holiday season food-wise. I enjoyed the treats and some adult beverages but didn't go overboard and compensated where I could. It looks like I'm a pound or two down from Thanksgiving but that might just be because I've been sick.

    I don't do resolutions but I do have a few goals for next year. I've set MFP to lose another 5 lbs, I'm hoping to increase the amount of weight I can lift and continue to change my body composition, and I also think I could probably eat a little bit healthier.........LOL. Otherwise, I'm hoping to survive both of our daughters' weddings, one in March and one in September................not very good planning but it is what it is...... <3<3;)

    Happy 2016 all!

    Glad to see a good showing on the 1st. And good to see you in here @64crayons !

    My late entry for the 1st, Friday

    I like New Years Eve parties, except cleaning up!

    Strength: None

    Cardio: 40 minutes on the elliptical, 4.35 calculated miles, 615 calculated calories. Making the time count!

    Assessment: Didn't figure out the total damage for the party, but lower than expected. Easy to work it off regardless!

    Welcome to the group 64 Crayons!

    Finally got in a good workout as I'm over the cold.........yippee!!! I lowered the weights a bit on my lifts because I haven't done any lifting for a couple of weeks but felt good and I'm sure I'll be back up to normal in a week or two.

    Cardio: Just what's included below about 6 mins stairmaster and 5 mins elliptical. I'm not much interested in gym cardio, but my goal this year is to walk/run more with my dog! ;)

    Strength: 40 minutes circuit training including 2 sets each of 10 pushups, 12 goblet squats w/25 lbs, 15 good mornings w/40 lbs, 20 physio ball pikes and bridges, 2 min elevated leg plank, decline bench situps w/10 lbs, decline bench leg lifts and 3 min stairmaster. 65 min weight lifting including leg press <single leg warmup 10@ 130 lbs and 8@ 180 lbs, dbl leg 12@ 310 lbs, 10@ 400 lbs and 8@ 490 lbs>, OHP 4X5 w/45 lbs and 1X5 w/50 lbs, squats <2X6 w/65 lbs, 2X5 w/95 lbs and 2X5 w/115 lbs>, deadlifts <2X5 w/115 lbs and 1X5 w125 lbs>, 2X20 box step ups, 2X16 side lunges w/20/20 lbs and 3X10 inner thigh w/90 lbs. 5 min elliptical.

    Assessment: Will be adding calories back in this week since I'm back to my normal exercise routine but the past couple of weeks went well and I did a good job of just maintaining over the holidays. I'm reset my ticker to lose another 5 lbs but I'm in no hurry so just a slight deficit should do the trick.

    Happy 2016! The gym was already showing around some fresh faces this morning. I hope it works out for them.

    Cardio: 1 mile @ ~9:30/mile pace + 6 minutes of walking.

    Strength:

    Squat- 10,10, 8, 5, 5, 2, 2
    Bench- 10, 8, 6, 4, 3, 1, 1

    WG Lat Pull down- 3x10
    Pullups- 9, 8, 7

    Assessment- Yesterday was our last "PIG OUT" day and I ate/drank terribly. Just horrible. Today is easing back into proper eating and by Monday I'll be back at eating mostly right. :)

    Almost time to get back to reality!

    Strength: Body Beast Bulk Chest, didn't feel as strong, increasing the weight on 12,rep moves wiped me out! Had to decrease weight lifted on Chest Press to Fly's 8 rep to 25, from. 30. Wasn't impressed about the drop .
    Followed the workout by P90X2 Balance and Power, a 65 minutes workout, my body is tired now, but my mind is still asking for more!

    Nutrition: wasn't as expected last night, aiming for better macros tonight

    Welcome, @64crayons ! And, I think I missed someone else??

    Happy Sunday, all!


    No workout on Saturday, as was at the art market all day. A solid 6 hours of standing, plus all that setup/teardown.


    Sunday: Cardio: 7 mile run, easy pace. Running with my friend, her first time running 7 miles! Proud of her progress.


    Food: on target. Back down to my usual weight of 160lb. Now, to drop a few more. Would rather hover around 157.
