Happy Friday cool kids.
Finally got a strength day in yesterday. It was leg day!
Followed by Strength and Stretch for 45 minutes. Had to duck out early as it was also bridge night.
Despite my workouts and a salad with chicken for dinner, I did have some dessert at bridge..so weight stayed the same this morning.
Busy weekend coming up and then off to work conferences on Monday for the week.

Happy Friday kids, I am in bed with food poisoning so no lifting today. Gam3rguy, love the pic. Welcome newbies. Have a great weekend everyone.0

I was in Ireland for 8 days in September. And then darted into Seattle for the first weekend in October. And then I was finally able to “get back to normal”.
Soooo, I have a good ten weeks to be in a calorie-deficit, to get my workouts in, to drink all my water, and to choose a uniform sleep pattern.
I am aiming for an 8-lb loss by xmas. And then I will tackle the last ten lbs in 2018.
That’s as good as it gets from HRT-land over here....I acknowledge there is no research that says women get fat on HRT, but that is my experience.
Still, HRT saved all my sanity, since M symptoms were soooo awful and terrible and extreme.
I have accepted the 15+ lb weight gain is BETTER than the alternative.
True confession time.

Welcome to the new kids...
Great work, Beeps, looks you're right back into the flow. (BOOM!)
Quikdogs, congrats on the PR. Liked your comment about not knowing the weight. Shows how much our success depends on what is going on in our heads during a competition.
Ran the Hartford Half marathon yesterday with 4074 of my closest friends. My finishing time of 1:55:29 (8:49 pace) was a PR for me by over 4 minutes. Happy about that. It was a warm and humid day, so my wife and I spent some time "rehydrating" and socializing with friends after the race. Capped off the day with too much pizza for dinner.
Congrats on the PR!1 -

Too busy of a weekend. Lots of steps, but no really workout. Back on track this morning with cardio and 30 minute CX Works class.
The scale was not all that friendly to me for this weekends weigh in. Im just trying to get to 15lbs down. And it is taking forever to see that total.

Great day kids. After 3 days in bed, I finally had some strength to try hot pilates. I survived it. I am sure I lost a few pounds from not being able to hold anything down. Have a great rest of the days kids.2

Another benefit of healthy living - no (or very little) hangovers! Had a mini hen night with close friends (wedding of one of my best friends is on Sat) - nice Turkish meal (I stuck to mostly good stuff), including a little wine and followed by several night caps. Normally would have woken up feeling like crap, but slept great and woke up fresh as a daisy 0

My new mantra: "Hunger is not an emergency situation'. (On a personal level, of course. Globally, is it certainly an emergency situation)2

Good day kids. I finally found a powerlifting gym near my house. My family and I are going to take a tour and if its a fit, I am all in. My goal is to get stronger and if I get ripped in the process so be it. I will not give up hot Pilates. Quikdogs you are my inspiration.4

You're going to LOVE it! Please take a pic and post...and what is the name of the place? I want to look it up.
BTW, I drive past like maybe approximately 100 gyms, Crossfits, yoga/pilates/soulcycles, YMCAs, and etc to go to my gym. Yep, that's right, I drive about 25 miles, in city traffic. Takes about 45 minutes on average each way.
Why? Because Coach Ben is WORTH IT. I consider myself beyond lucky that he was willing to take on a quite silly old lady. He takes great care of all his lifters. My job is just to sit back and do the program. He's actually an Olympic weightlifting coach, but I hurt my shoulder so at the moment he's coaching me in powerlifting. Which is where I cam from.
This is my coach

I've spent two weeks getting my elderly demented father moved from assisted living to skilled care. Ugh
Not much energy to do anything else. It is very draining.3 -
@allenpriest take it easy and be kind to yourself. I moved my mom into assisted living earlier this month, which was plenty hard on me. Kudos to your for being strong on what I can only imagine was a much harder step.0

I had a consult with a Registered Dietitian this morning. She's also Board Certified in Sports Nutrition. It was great...actually she reduced my protein and increased my carbs. Lowered fats, though boo. What an amazing opportunity for me, I'm looking forward to more consistency and having accurately defined goals!
She also trains with my Coach and is my teammate. So she really has perspective with regards to nutrition, weight loss, competition weight classes, and being a strength athlete.1 -
