    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Cardio: Walk/jog- 260 calories

    Strength: quads- linear leg press, Smith machine squats, bulgarian squats, leg extensions 4x12,10,8,6

    Assessment: Flew China Airlines and their dinner and breakfast was decent.

    Strength: Upper Body, DB Day

    DB Bench Press <<superset>> 1A DB Row 5x5
    Incline Cable Fly 3x10
    1A Pulldown 3x10
    DB Shoulder Triset (Front Raise, Lateral Raise, Rear Lateral) 3x10
    DB Shrugs 3x10
    DB Hammer Curl <<superset>> 1A Cable Pushdown 3x10
    Palloff Press 3x10 sec, 20 sec, 30 sec

    Analysis: My son joined for the workout, his construction gig has been slow going during winter and he needed to blow off some steam. Half my age, half the weights I'm throwing around. Probably won't take him long to catch up, though, considering I didn't start lifting seriously until I was in my 30's.

    Food: Last night was steak with mashed potatoes and green beans.

    Food: Last night was baked salmon with rice and broccoli.

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Lifting: BB Day

    Bench Press 5x5
    BB Row 4x10
    Incline Bench Press 3x10
    Pullups 30 total reps
    BB Shrugs 3x10
    Seated BB OHP 3x10
    Preacher Curl 3x10
    Cable Pushdown 3x10
    Cable Woodchoppers 3x10

    Analysis: Working with my son, he feels very humbled with the weights he's using compared to me, but fact is he's lifting heavier starting out than I did when I started, so between him only being 24 and a lifting noob his gains will be phenomenal in a short time.

    Food: Last night was crock pot chicken alfredo with side salad

    NFL: Well, that trip to the playoffs didn't last long, lol. But we now have that precious experience under our belt of our young guys, this next offseason we'll clear up all that dead cap space for Russell Wilson and be able to go shopping for big-name free agent additions, and we'll be back next year!

    Workout: Cardio - Incline treadmill walk - 1hr (805 calories)

    Analysis: I realized towards the end of my walk today that I had barely registered the workout and my breathing was barely labored (did not monitor heart rate). Part of that could simply be from the distraction of the movie I played on my cell, but I've still been aware during other movies. Thinking I've just adjusted sufficiently to this level of intensity that I need to consider upping something, either speed or incline. I have two cardio sessions left this week; I will increase incline on one, and play with speed on the other, and then compare the two to see what change I want to keep going forward, if any.

    Food: Last night was empanadas

    I've abstained for just over a year now, other than one glass of toasting wine at Thanksgiving. Even before that, I would go months between individual drinks. Just never saw the benefits to it, only the drawbacks.

    Your posts about lifting so much more weight than your son reminded me of a story I read online awhile back about a Dad wondering if he should let his 5th or 6th grader beat him in foot races. The internet said "NO!" because soon enough the boy will pass up dear ole Dad, so this is his last chance to enjoy winning. LOL.

    My family's been passing around a stomach bug for the last 9 days: of the 5 of us, I'm the only one who hasn't fallen ill. I'm hoping not getting the virus will prove to be one of my super powers as a mom. I've gone to the gym a couple of times but didn't feel that great, so I'm taking it easy. We've also had 7 inches of snow to dig out from (happens once a year usually).

    I'm eating 1200-1600 calories daily, partly because I need to drop some weight this month and partly because I'm afraid throwing up is just around the corner.

    Workout: Cardio - Incline treadmill walk - 1hr (845 calories)

    Analysis: I increased the incline during my walk today. After the initial shock of the increased work I quickly found a steady rhythm again, indicating the increased intensity wasn't that much different from what I'd been doing. Fact my calories burned only went up by 40 bears that perception out.

    Food: Last night was breakfast for dinner (French toast, scrambled eggs, bacon)
