    Cardio: Treadmill - 1hr hills (warmup, then incline from 10-20 degrees, x5 times) (785 calories, 3.1 miles, 2096 feet elevation climbed)

    Analysis: While my RPE felt higher when the incline reached 30 degrees (and my labored breathing agreed), the treadmill rated my "calories per hour" higher at lower inclines when I could keep the speed up a tad, so that's what I did today.

    Food: Lunch - chili, Dinner - French dip sandwiches

    Life: Will eventually get around to watching "Quantumania" but likely wait for video or Disney+ release. I've still yet to watch Black Panther 2.

    Cardio: Elliptical - 1hr hills - 800 calories

    Food: Lunch - sweet and sour pork on rice, Dinner - spaghetti with side salad (no dressing)

    Rehab: This morning was my first session of rehab exercises for my elbow. Kept the weight uber light, only a 3lb DB, but zero pain during and no soreness/stiffness now hours later. Over the next couple weeks I'll increase the weight used gradually. I'm thinking I could probably return to normal lifting earlier than April, but I'm gonna stick to the schedule by referencing an old adage I once heard and learned the hard way to live by: "after you think you're recovered from illness/injury, wait another day/week to be sure".

    Cardio: Treadmill - 1hr hills (warmup, then incline from 10-20 degrees, x5 times) (785 calories, 3.1 miles, 2096 feet elevation climbed)

    Analysis: My bad knee is starting to complain about lack of leg day lifting; had terrible knee pain before I started lifting years ago, lifting magically made it go away, but only if I kept lifting without a break. All this cardio requiring leg movement has helped, but it's not the same, and my knee is starting to figure that part out. Good thing my rehab exercises seem to be progressing nicely and I'm still on pace to resume lifting in April.

    Food: Lunch - stroganoff, Dinner - spaghetti with side salad (no dressing) (my wife didn't feel up to eating Tuesday, so Thursday's stroganoff got served on Tuesday, and now Tuesday's spaghetti will be served tonight now that she's feeling better)

    Life: Have a weekend work shift for the first time in ages Saturday, so will take tomorrow off.

    Cardio: Treadmill - 1hr hills (warmup, then incline from 10-20 degrees, x5 times) (785 calories, 3.1 miles, 2096 feet elevation climbed)

    Analysis: My son just broke up with his girlfriend, got blind drunk the other night and woke up still angry. So I pulled him along with me to the gym to get our sweat on, first by smoking him on my treadmill walk, then guiding him through a weightlifting regimen. Boy, I wanted to be the one throwing the iron around! I think it did him good, as he was calm in the hot tub after.

    Food: Lunch - burger and fries, Dinner - baked chicken with buttered noodles

    Food: Lunch - lasagna, Dinner - steak with stir-fried veggies and rice

    Weight: Still hoping to get below 180 by start of April, but this past week I only dropped a quarter pound, which ain't gonna cut it. Now I'm thinking that since my lifting in April will be light weights as I work my way back up, maybe I'll keep the cut going during April and do the switch over to eating more in May when I'll be back to full-on lifting.
