Happy Tuesday!
Took a nice 1-mile walk outside in the c-c-cold this morning, it was brisk and really woke me up! 5500+ steps total.
Went out for both lunch and dinner, and stayed within calories for the day. Splurged on a piece of cheesecake after dinner (still within calories), the first actual "dessert" I've had in months. It was good, but not great. Not worth the calories.
Feeling optimistic today.0 -

Try the "monkey" exercise. Hold 2 dumbells by your sides with hands at neutral position (palms facing you). Drag the weights upward along your sides with your elbows going outward. Just go up as high as you can. Hits the shoulders pretty good, but usually doesn't hurt the same as a lateral.I'm having a good week despite the shoulder.........I really hate being injured though.

Happy Hump Day everyone!
Thanks Niner.......I'll try it tomorrow.
Got the dog out this morning and climbed the hill to the park which we haven't done in awhile.
Cardio: 55 min walk/run with the dog including the big hill to the park which I can't run yet......LOL. My fitbit said it was like climbing 17 floors.
Strength: None today.
Assessment: I lost half a pound so that was a nice surprise......we'll see if it sticks but I can sort of feel myself losing weight........it's a weird feeling and one I haven't felt in awhile as I've mostly been maintaining for about 3 months or so. I'm eating right around 1650 so I'll see where I stand next week regarding the scale and losing that last five, or maybe even 10 pounds, or eating more. Looks like my average TDEE is right around 2000-2100, higher on days I exercise and lower on the two days a week I don't. So maybe 1650 to 1700 will actually be fine. I don't like to undereat but that's only a 350 cal deficit average per day which isn't too bad really. I can't do a 500 deficit, it wears me down.......LOL0 -
