    Good afternoon!

    Yesterday

    Strength

    DB overhead press 2x5
    The rest are 2x10
    DB bench press
    Upright rows
    Lunges, squats, good mornings
    Push ups and chair dips

    No cardio yesterday- the weights wiped me out.

    I'm having a hard time eating, just not hungry earlier in the day. Forcing myself to eat doesn't work, I just feel sick. I didn't make 1200 yesterday and unless I eat a ton at dinner tonight, I won't make it today. Drinking plenty, but allergies are just killing my appetite.

    Assessment: my food should have been better, but water was good. I guess my not eating is really starting to affect my energy. My workout did not go well yesterday. I still needed another set, but didn't have the energy. Tomorrow will be better!

    Have a good evening.

    Hey gang

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Thursday! DW comes home tonight and I have to mow the lawn so that will burn a few more calories.

    Cardio:stair climbing- Tabata protocol (280 calories), walk/jog- 2 mi (280 calories)

    Strength:hamstring and shoulders- seated leg curls, stiff legged deadlifts, shoulder press, side laterals, bent over laterals. 3x8-10

    Assessment: I caved last night while watching some shows I DVR'd. Ending up eating 6 slices of American cheese.

    I'm sure you're happy she's coming home. Have a great evening.

    Yesterday and today were cardio only, well mostly. I added in a set of squats, lunges and push ups, body weight only. I managed to burn 280 both days.

    I really want to burn up some more fat, but I'm trying to get my eating back on track. Calories were under yesterday, but the allergies left me alone today-so I should hit it right today. My husband even bought some low fat chocolate ice cream to tempt me, gotta love that : )

    Assessment: Sarting to feel stronger today, real meals are probably at play there. Food has been under, water on mark or over. I'm really working on eating better today, I don't like how tired I've been. I'm starting to ramble, so time to go.

    Yesterday

    Cardio: 20 min treadmill walk/run. calories? Don't know- new treadmill at the gym, took me forever to figure it out!

    Strength: Shoulders/Abs 3 x 12
    Seated Dumbbell Press
    Standing dumbbell straight-arm front delt raise
    Side lateral raise
    Seated bend over rear delt raise
    Exercise ball crunch
    Air bike

    Assessment: Water intake over. Food - under. After work softball game, then gym. By that time it was 9:30, so just a protein shake. Feeling a little tired, but I know it's from not eating all that I need to.

    My entire day was off kilter. Long story, but no workout today. I over ate today, not by a lot. Tomorrow's a new day and I have some sod to lay down.

    Have a good weekend everyone!

    Hellooo,

    can I join the TLFC? I love to eat and so I have realised, I love to exercise too. I'm 30 day shredding at the moment and keep joining shred groups which in turn become utterly deserted in no time at all, what's with that?! *watches the tumbleweeds rolling across the screen*.

    I don't track my water, I drink when thirsty and I am often thirsty, so I think that probably covers it. What happens if you drink too much? Would a person in their right state of mind conceivably have the urge to even do that? And I'm ambivalent about goals which revolve around numbers on scales but I would live to have a group to talk exercise to that consists of more than just myself :-D

    Today's exercise: level 2 30ds (strength/cardio) - 240
    2 short rides total - 140
    work - 200 (still trialling including work as cardio)

    Ate pretty darn healthy today I think (with the exception of that hot mocha, those store bought falafels and a deeelicious serve of dark chocolate) and came in juuust under my allowance. Feeling pretty good.
