Excellent! No luck needed since you're reaching your goals!Also, a very happy birthday! Hope it treats you well today!!
Weighed in a day early - 150.0 lbs. Couldn't believe it. That's my first goal and I somehow dropped 2.5 pounds in a week. Was still convinced some of that was water weight from swelling from my injury. Kinda a weird, empty feeling. I still don't like how my body looks after achieving my first actual goal. I've lost 25.5 pounds total. I just reset my fitness pal for 145 lbs and may even need to go lower. Wish me luck.0 -

Congrats!! That's fantastic. Feel good about that accomplishment.0 -
SNOW SNOW SNOW today....and bitter winds. Only 3 degrees outside. That being said, I made it my goal to maximize the use of our "home gym" which consists of a treadmill and my dad's free weights.
TOTAL CALORIE BURN - 367 calories, 50 minutes
CARDIO: Treadmill, 30 minutes, 5.5 mph - 299 calories burnt
STRENGTH TRAINING: 20 minutes, free weights and crunches - 68 calories burnt
FOOD: Under but only thanks to exercise.
ASSESSMENT: Not my best day but at least I got up and made myself do it.
SNOWBOARDING TOMORROW! So stoked....just hope I don't get injured this time. Being sore and bruised is one thing. I've still got pain in my right leg, but only when I stretch it too far, so here's to hoping. Either way, I'll deal with the consequences. Can't wait....I might have gotten better [in my sleep!] Haha. Talk about obsession...0 -

Happy weekend! Class this morning, football practice, then off to my FIL's for dinner. We finally decided on our new car and bought it yesterday! HYUNDAI SONATA! In 49er RED!!! Got a good deal on it and now we're ready to sell our CRV to my BIL so he can have second vehicle. Life is good!!!

BOOM! Snowboarding today! 5 and a half hours [and TONS of foot trekking up the hills.] Hurting...nearly got my arm yanked out at the tow rope, so probably won't be able to use that arm much tomorrow, but WORTH EVERY PAIN.
Burned some 2,320 calories. Ended up with a NEGATIVE net.....holy cow! First time ever for me. -408....I keep this up, I'll only be muscle from head to toe! Can't wait!
Working the next few days, and probably recuperating a bit. We'll see how I feel on Wednesday about gym time.
That is all, folks!!!!!

Sounds like an incredible day! Reminds me of when I have an excellent day of flag football. I only play for recreation, but it's a sport I love, so when I get to do it all day, boom, awesome day.
Thanks for the link to the blog! I'm also sending you a friend request in MFP. Just realized I hadn't added you or ninerbuff, and would love to have you on my list.0 -
Sunday: cardio day.
30 minutes of my custom foot fires/jump rope/sprint-in-place mix. HRM says 233 calories burned. I lengthened it from what I originally set. Felt like a good workout today.
Off to watch football! AFC and NFC championship games should be awesome!0 -

Hey gang,
I like myself unconditionally!
Happy Monday! Well it was a hard loss yesterday, but I can't be that sad since I didn't expect the 9ers to have played this well this season. Now I can concentrate more on my goals, with the first being a new class! It's called TKO at my gym and it's an hour of straight kickboxing and conditioning. Thanks for a great season 9ers!
Cardio:walk/jog 3 mi (400 calories)
Strength:quads- squats, leg press, leg extensions. 12,10,8,6 increasing weight each set.
Assessment: Weight is down this morning probably because I wasn't hungry after the game.0 -
Monday:
Good lord I'm hurting. Severe whip lash-like pain in my neck, my left arm and shoulder are USELESS. But I'm working through the pain and tomorrow most of the soreness will be gone in my legs and back, so that's great. Still have a sustained injury in my right groin but I'll probably have that the rest of the snowboarding season. It doesn't actually hurt me to ride, but it's not getting all of the rest it needs either. Im not sitting out, I'm an actual athlete.
But I didn't let myself all the way off the hook. Completed my circuit of 400 crunches for the day, so now I feel better.
Food: On target.
Assessment: So worth it. All of my conditioning is doing it's job, but now that I'm actually snowboarding, the wear and tear on my body is basically changing the look of my physique. It's been kind of incredible. I can actually visibly see the definition in my biceps and calves now! My body is getting super lean, and I can't wait to see how it will all come together through February. I can already see my ribcage just from paring down so much actual body fat.0 -
It's hard when you deal with injuries and still work to stay in shape. The only advice I have is make sure that the injury isn't too severe or it could hamper your form. But physique wise it sounds like you're doing good.Monday:

Thanks for the support and advice. I DO know when to slow down, but my body is recovering swimmingly. I'm pretty sure my groin injury is severe enough to take a couple months to heal, but the rest of the soreness is quickly dissipating. I'm not one to push an injury I know needs rested, but I am a little hard on myself too. Gonna hit the gym tomorrow but be extra careful to listen to my body. If it starts to hurt, I HAVE to stop, no matter how much that's going to frustrate me. Otherwise, I'm just gonna keep doing what I do and strengthening the areas that need strengthened, and letting my sports do the rest. The next few times snowboarding should get even better as long as I don't crash too majorly! Let's hope not!! [And YES, I absolutely do wear my helmet.]
No exercise for today...got through work alright though. Cheated on my diet and blew my calorie goal, but I've been hardcore craving for a while now and finally just relented and had some ice cream, and it was delicious. No harm, no foul.0 -
