Happy Friday! Long time MFP calorie tracker, first time poster. Love that this thread provides accountability and encouragement but without the harsh, mean comments of other threads. Mind if I join in? I’m a 47-year old female, who would like to lose 40 lbs. I overhauled my diet a few months ago, and now I’m looking to re-commit to my workouts. I love lifting heavy, but I’ve been out of the groove for awhile, so it will take me a few weeks (?) to get back up to speed.
Cardio: none.
Strength: Leg Day! Squats 5x8 (50lb), deadlifts 3x8 (45lb), extensions and hamstring curls 3x8 each, walking lunges with 15lbs dumbbells 3x10
Assessment: Made good food choices yesterday, and within calorie and macro goal.
Welcome!!
Happy Saturday!!
Cardio: 10k (6.2 mile) run: 73 minutes. Not sure if it was weather (muggy rain) or what, but I felt sluggish and kept the pace very slow. 11:50/mile average.
Food: on target
Assessment: am at 168lb, which is 9 over my lowest, and 5 over what I'd been carrying on average for the past year. So, really need to hunker down on the diet and stay on track. Those extra pounds will not help my running or flag football goals.0 -

Cardio: Jog/run- 3 miles (400 calories), 100 burpees

Didn't log yesterday, but I did 120 minutes including 30DS, Vinyasa Yoga and Cardio Kickboxing. Too much in 2 days!
Today aiming at a Body Pump class at 12:30, for an hour (55 min.).
Also, trying to eat at maintenance, but having a rough time getting it to be enough. Yesterday was the best in at least eating my food goal, but didn't eat back all my exercise and so was at a deficit.0 -
